That little blabbermouth drives me crazy and I can’t understand him either. Even his parents sort of look like they wish he had an off switch.
“Clogged gutters did all that?”
“Do we need to replace our gutters?”
“Do I have to pay for an estimate?”
“Daad! I keep telling you that’s dangerous!” Yeah, well, I killed 20 North Korean soldiers with my bare hands at Inchon! I’ll climb my goddamn ladder whenever I feel like it, Karen!
Hate hate hate the Leaf Filter commercial. As if a room full of people are going to sit in on a presentation about gutters. As if all that damage shown is from clogged gutters- worst case is gutters won’t flow, they spill over and the water eventually wears a little trough right below the eave line. BFD. “I TOLD YOU it was dangerous.” But you let him risk his life anyway, you insurance collector hopeful. “will we have to replace our gutters?” Gee, what an EXCELLENT question. It illustrates how completely clueless you are and how stupid the advertiser thinks the audience is.
[Quote]Your gutters and downspouts are designed to divert the flow of water away from your home. It’s an important job, because even a little bit of water can cause a lot of damage.

She told him it was dangerous. She doesn’t live with him. He does it when she’s not around.
I guess you’ve never heard of Beldon Leafguard. It uses a unique design relying on the Coanda effect to separate the water from the debris. It does require replacing any existing gutters, the cover is an integrated design, not something installed over existing gutters.
Better than the timeshare presentation down the hall.
I can imagine the pitch meeting for that: Dennis Haysbert is sitting there politely, and the ad-agency guy says “this will be great, you’ll love it, we’ll have a room full of people really excited to see you!”
So far so good, but then the agency guy offers the kicker: “And not one of them knows your name, or that you’re a distinguished actor with many credits other than this commercial gig—they all call you ‘safe drivers save 40%’…as if that’s your name!!!! Isn’t that GREAT??!?!?!?”
That had to have been an awkward moment …
I’m getting pretty annoyed about “Jake from State Farm”. The original commercial was one of my favorites, and I’ve enjoyed seeing it again (only slightly changed). But now they seem to think that the beloved character of “Jake” is going to carry over into other commercials. NO. THEY ARE WRONG. See, the thing that was great about the original ad is the interaction between the hapless husband and the shrewish wife. They remain hilarious, but “Jake” is just a placeholder. He wears khakis! That’s the beginning and end of his arc!
It’s also strange because the husband and wife interaction is exactly the same, yet there’s a new Jake on the other end. And it’s not like it’s a retool of the same commercial; new Jake asks old Jake in the next cube if people ask what you’re wearing, and old Jake confirms they do. So the husband and wife apparently are trapped in a hellish, “Groundhog Day” style scenario where they compulsively reenact the same dysfunctional scenario every day at 3 am.
Yes! And as long as we’re at it, “Red sweater…button down shirt…” doesn’t make it any funnier.
While watching the super-creepy movie Annihilation on TV last night, they kept running the super-creepy Trolli commercial in which an anthropomorphic rotten tree stump is freaking out because worm-like candies are crawling all over him and singing to him. Urgh.
And eating him. < shudder >
sorry about your hand
They’re also taking bites out of each other toward the end of the ad.
The worst part is they call him “Safe Drivers Save 40%”, as if that tells us their product. They should call him the “Geico Guy”. No wait, that’s a Gecko. I mean “State Farm Guy”. No, that’s that agent guy. Um, “Progressive Guy”? Nope, Flo. Er. I know, “Farmer’s Guy”. Oops, that’s “We’ve Covered It.” Dang it, which product is he hawking?
Do you know what’s even lamer about that commercial? the slime isn’t even sticky like that we’ve made it dozens of times
its Elmers glue contact lens cleaner and one other ingredient if you want the homemade from scratch… Elmers sells kits now where you can make it in 30 secs with all ready glittered glue
shes still groggy from not having her coffee?
Well its worked for almost 40 years with starving 3rd world children …why not animals ? i s the rationale I think there was even a study a while back where it said people will donate more for animals than other humans …
The one with the jilted guy from the “Bachelorette” type show seems to be on every 5 seconds these days. The way JFSF is talking about protecting Crying Guy’s heart while making cow eyes at him I’m surprised every time that it doesn’t end with them making out in the back seat of the limo.
On top of the whole phone sex vibe from the original commercial I really wonder what they’re drinking over at State Farm’s advertising department!
About that Bachelorette commercial: isn’t the girl doing the jilting Lily from the phone service commercial? She puts googly eyes on her stuff!
All I know is AT&T ain’t getting my thing. 
The “Not the One” commercial? No, clearly not Lily from AT&T.
