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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Insurance companies seem slightly over-represented here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Pfft... Meme maker didn't even include The General.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

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 :)))

I haven't seen an insurance ad in a decade. Who's the new Progressive dude in the pic?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's Jamie, he's the goofy one

[–] BlemboTheThird 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

... Goofier than Flo?? God help me I hope I'm never subjected to one of those commercials

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Hey, don’t shit on Jamie! Shit on the company that forces the ads down your throat

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

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAKE FROM STATE FARM

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude isn't an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

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"

I don't get it (I'm a foreigner)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

These are all the mascots for insurance companies in the US

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They subbed out Jake from State Farm and it'll never stop bugging me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Where Mr Clean tho

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Allstate, I think. What’s weird to me is how close the character is to the same actor’s character on 30 Rock.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Man fuck allstate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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)

You forgot about all the racism, that's very culturally significant to America

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

While not wrong, Japan is an especially bad country to compare that to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Is it tho? Or is it accurate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Y'all leave Flo the fuck alone.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

Kevin Butler was pretty good tho
