Pfft... Meme maker didn't even include The General.
like a good neighbor, state farm will cancel your policy the first time you have to file a claim because there was a hurricane in the Midwest :)))
Where are the cavemen?
Yeah, I still remember that ad where he irritatingly looks at the caveman ad in the airport.
Silly ad, but I thank them for introducing me to Röyksopp! :P
I don't get it (I'm a foreigner)
These are all the mascots for insurance companies in the US
Difference: Ours aren't anime. They're live action. And only some of them are cute.
(I like the new Mayhem ad where the Mayhem dude is in a mascot suit of himself)
Y'all leave Flo the fuck alone.
Yes, these are the same thing
Japan likes its animal mascots as well
don't forget there's a canon anime-style KFC dating sim 💀
Yo free game. Hell yeah!
what the hell did i just see
Eat fresh
When ads give you lemons, you send those lemons back. Say, “I don’t want any of your damn lemons!”
DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH LIFE'S MANAGER
I legit want to see life's manager, this month suuuuuuuucks
I hate all of these because it's just insurance companies trying to grift as hard as they possibly can because insurance in the US is yet another legalized scam business.
I haven't seen an insurance ad in a decade. Who's the new Progressive dude in the pic?
That's Jamie, he's the goofy one
... Goofier than Flo?? God help me I hope I'm never subjected to one of those commercials
Hey, don’t shit on Jamie! Shit on the company that forces the ads down your throat
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAKE FROM STATE FARM
Dude isn't an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.
Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick
Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"
libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.
Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better
Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"
Kyaaakis
I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.
They subbed out Jake from State Farm and it'll never stop bugging me.
Where Mr Clean tho
Mayhem commercials are the only decent commercials there has ever been or will ever be. I don't remember what brand they are advertising for but that's beside the point.
Allstate, I think. What’s weird to me is how close the character is to the same actor’s character on 30 Rock.
Man fuck allstate
You forgot about all the racism, that's very culturally significant to America
While not wrong, Japan is an especially bad country to compare that to.
Is it tho? Or is it accurate?
Hey it's not nice to call Flo an animal!
Also I've never heard anyone say that, cottonelle, puffs, charmin, coke, WWF, Camel, 9lives, and those are just off the top of my head, we have plenty.
Edit: OH, "Anime" lol I can't read. Not sure Flo counts as anime though, and tbf we don't have many anime (if we're talking about Japanese style animation) mascots, but the Brawny lumberjack and Mr. Clean are animated as are many other things.
to be fair Flo is probably an animal in bed
/inb4 BONK
Kevin Butler was pretty good tho
