Anybody here tired of them?

OT: Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercials...
- Thread starter DrTongue
- Start date
I own around 30 rental properties, and they were all insured by State Farm, that’s who my parents had so when I started 25 yrs ago that’s who I started with. As the years went on and I bought more properties the payments got bigger. Year after yr the payments went from 400 a month to 500 to 600 and so on topping out around 900 a month. About 3 yrs ago I got so sick of the State Farm Aaron Rodgers commercial I started wondering how much they were paying for all the commercials on the AFC and NFC championship games. They were literally every other commercial. I shopped all of my insurance same coverage same everything and cut the insurance in half. It is some no name no advertising company. I know those commercials State Farm runs are pennies to them but the 5k a yr I saves is great. Side note had not heard from my State Farm rep in yrs, when I canceled she blew my phone up daily til I answered and explained the 5 k savings. They say you should switch every 4 or 5 yrs anyhow.
So ya I hate those commercials
I'm a Packers fan but Rodgers doesn't really have much of a personality. The commercials are annoying. And that douchey agent guy is annoying.
Come to think of it, all insurance commercials are irritating.

Not a nice guy, his family comes across as sincere and believable with their side of the story.
Not Geico. Some of the best commercials ever.
Rodgers is probably the most smug guy in the NFL. Can't stand him or the commercials.
He hasn’t done much to warrant it either. He won a SB because he beat a Chicago team with a second and third string QB.
Aaron Rodgers is a POS and everyone makes him out to be god even tho his team just went 6-9-1 with him under center
They needed a miracle to even make the playoffs that season. That was the year someone (Giants?) punted to DeSean Jackson of the Eagles needlessly at the end of the game and he took it all the way, allowing the Packers to back into the playoffs.
The discount double check gimmick was funnier. They should go back to that.
And now that marijuana is ok, Dell should bring back the Dell Dude commercials

The best commercials on TV are the Allstate Mayhem Commercials. Hysterical.
I am very sick and tired of Rogers and the State Farm shtick. Not funny and they show them every 8 seconds
He will end his career with 1 Super Bowl win and history on his side.
It helps if you're good looking and play fir for a storied franchise.
Progressive's Flo is the worst. I'm waiting for the commercial where Jamie kills that witch.
Mayhem rocks! The latest when he goes face down on the brick, check out his ankle (nice touch)...love it.
now..Dak Prescott with the soup..
when I do find time to eat it is oh so good...
Not since Balboa in Rocky II have I seen such an uncomfortable poorly portrayed product endorsement...

I forgot about this one! IT IS FANTASTIC! Thanks for digging it up!
Yes. Definitely. I was asking someone the other day, "can't they find another NFL player to market?". Peyton Manning actually was very good, funny and really could deliver his lines well and didn't look so arrogant and smug doing it.
I suspect the new guard, a Mahomes, a Mayfield someone like that will eventually be the new pitch man.
It's funny how this works. Ben has no commercial bank, he is not particularly attractive, he has no personality. But the greatest of all time (Tom Brady) also has never really got into the commercial end. Neither has Drew Brees or Philip Rivers.

Lol. Yeah, NFL guys eating canned soup is pretty disingenuous to believe. But the best was trying to get people to buy that Cam Newton ate lowfat yogurt. More locally (and timely), anyone remember the cheesy ads Antonio Brown did for Uncle Charley Sausage?
The mayhem ads where the tailgaters catch their truck on fire for not letting their grill cool down adequately struck too close to home. It never happened to us but we cut it way too close too many times, stretching the tailgate as long as possible but not wanting to miss the start of the game...
I like Mayhem.
He's the perfect guy for the commercial.
He looks like fun or Mayhem.
There's s fine line between those two things. Haha.
All that stuff could and does happen.
I hate the State Farm She Shed commercial.
Notwthat's annoying.
Actually Flo and the whole Progressive thing is annoying as well.

That She Shed ad apparently was a big #metoo symbol. There were articles that analyzed the symbolism thought to have been embedded (or merely read into it). Some takes include, that the woman taking over what is traditionally a man's domain (a tool shed) on the property and making it into her own was supposedly a symbol of strong assertive tradition shattering; many project that the disgruntled cro-magnon husband actually purposely set it on fire to try to eliminate it (theory being that the weather was fine in the commercial but he claims lightning hit the shed); that he was making the most feeble of 'effort' to put the fire out.
But, she showed her assertiveness again, by getting the fire department before the thing was totally obliterated.
And of course the neanderthal is thwarted because the insurance saves the day and she's going to get an even bigger, better she shed!
Another more cruel interpretation noted that the guy is pretty much a nebbish and is seen feebly holding a very limp garden hose that is dribbling and trickling in an unmistakable (and unflattering / emasculating) manner.
Other than the "insurance saved the day" notion (its an ad, after all) the rest of it is highly implausible, IMO. But kind of interesting.
Brees was like the 2nd or 3rd highest paid endorser in the NFL a few years ago. Pepsi, Wrangler and Verizon commercials come right to mind.
I thought I disliked that commercial now I know I hate that State Farm She Shed commercial.
Rather than take over a tool shed I go to a barn with horses complete with cowboys and cowgirls when I want a something different..Haha.

you two spend way too much time online...the she shed was just a silly response to a man cave... just because a total of three loud knuckleheads in the twitterverse or on social media says it is has some deep seeded inner meaning, does not mean it is so....
Flo is going on 11 years. She’s probably very easy to work with if they’ve kept her around that long.
On the whole, GEICO’s are very clever. Hump Day is a classic and the whole “if you’re x, it’ s what you do” series has some extremely clever spots.
One of my favorite celebrity endorsements was Macho Man Randy Savage and Slim Jims.

Then turns the gun on himself !
Hey I was just the messenger on that one. But I chuckled at the absurdity of it... it seemed indicative of the times. And I'm interested in that kind of thing, like the conspiracy theories of the moon landing, 911 etc. Most of the time it's bunk of course.
Other widespread chatter on advertising today is the supposed surreptitious agenda of tv commercial casting and directors to place mixed race couples in nearly every ad that they can pull off, of course, in a ploy to irk 'Deplorables'.
At least since the Party Posse videos were exposed to be diabolically recruiting for the Navy!
I believe we have given them a real winner of an idea for their next Superbowl commercial.
