Lily, Flo or Jake?

CA-35 · Mar 7, 2015

I appreciate well thought out commercials. I do not like commercials that start out with "New and Improved". My favorites right now are the Slam Dunk with Lily Adams of AT&T and Flo from Progressive. Jake from State Farm is also hilarious. Enjoy.

All are good, but I really like this one

And there's the cute Acura girl, too.

Sandy I totally forgot that one . That's just good stuff.

Scotty!! Thanks for dropping in to share some humor! I have a couple of faves but I'm too whacked out on pain meds right now to even know my name. I'll think on it for a while..... :encouragement:

I presume that is because you are in some pain and not because abusing pain meds is your choice of recreation. Presuming the former I hope you heal quickly and get well soon.

As for commercials, I find GEICO seems to have writers with a sense of humor warped in my direction. But I'm not quite amused enough to search for links.

I do notice the Acura commercial cited above but not because of the driver, but the soundtrack. Of course I had not idea it was for Acura until Dos Corgis reminded me. Makes me wonder if the commercial is succeeding as a commercial.

Oh yeah, it's for pain control, frono. My recreational drug of choice is red wine. I had surgery on my heel last Tuesday and I'm laid up for a while. I've actually been able to cut WAY down on the pain meds already! Still, taking the Achilles tendon off the bone and then reattaching it is kinda creepy. On the proper medications, all the commercials are funny. :stupid:

"Jake from State Farm" is tops for me. Even though it's been running for quite some time, I still get a kick out of it every time it airs.

....and, Tom, sorry to hear about the heel thing. OUCH! thats gotta suck, man. I pulled that tendon once, right there where it attaches to the heel, and I'm tellin' ya, I wouldn't want to go through that again. Fortunately, once it settled down, I haven't had a problem since.

Humor is the only thing preventing commercials from being 100% annoying.
I love that one:

Sorry to here about your surgery and the on-going. At least you know the meds are working if you are willing to meditate on commercials.

Isn't that the damn truth!! LOL!! I'm good. I got a shower today..... I feel way more human now. Pascal, I haven't seen that one yet! Hysterical..... she's over it!!!

One of my favorites, too. But lately it seems like television shows are mostly a stream of commercials (which generally suck) occasionally interrupted by some entertainment.

[Begin grumpy old guy rant]
I get especially annoyed when they run the same commercial two or three times in a row. What the heck is that about?

Yes to the FedEx! I love the way he drops his head when the garage door goes up, and then the look on his wife's face is priceless. :rugby:

Couldn't agree more Dave. That's why I use the DVR every chance I get. It's such a good feeling hitting the fast forward button over these hours of commercials.....

As to the repeats of same clips, I've seen that too. Guess it has something to do with contractual quotas (as in "I pay ya that much but ya gotta show my crap at least 3 times an hour") maybe?
Yes, very annoying.

Pascal that Fed X commercial is priceless. Jake from State farm makes me laugh so hard I cry every time I see it. However, when Grant Hill gives his resume to Lily and she says "Oh, good for you" I lose it. Stone cold "good for you" to an NBA great is outstanding.

Tom sorry to hear about your foot. Heal fast.

Lily, Flo or Jake?
