Japan likes its animal mascots as well

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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Insurance companies seem slightly over-represented here

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

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 :)))

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"

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 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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] mindbleach 1 points 2 months ago

He got Fake Shemped!

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] 5 points 2 months ago

Where Mr Clean tho

[–] [email protected] 3 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)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

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

to be fair Flo is probably an animal in bed

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

[–] [email protected] 19 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] 3 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.

Kevin Butler was pretty good tho
