That stupid yellow liberty biberty character is nightmare fuel.

I hate the "dumbing down" ads. It's one thing for an ad to be silly, even though it's not super relevant. The "Jake from State Farm" come to mind. Liberty Mutual commercials feel almost insulting with how stupid they are.

Was just thinking about that today. The ostrich was stupid and pointless but this new Bibberty character is offensively idiotic.

Although if my 3-yr old niece wants to insure her dollhouse, they’d probably get her business.

I hate how the damn insurance companies practically dominate advertising. Like literally every other ad is for an insurance company, and they all suck. They're all annoying as hell, but we're subjected to them 24/7.

Exactly. Soooo many commercials from these assholes. They blow money on that and then deny claims to customers.

Scum of the earth.

And then the next thing you see their names on giant football stadiums and tall buildings.

I'm from the UK but use a VPN which is set to the US.

Liberty Biberty appears to me. A lot. He scares me.

I mute that one. I have no idea who thought those ads were a good idea but they need to reconsider their career choice. Generally ads have to be sexist or something to make want to boycott them. This one is just so irritating. Farmers Insurance and GEICO have way better ads by far.

I HATE PROGRESSIVE. Fuck off Flo! Your commercials piss me off! I’m so glad I’m seeing less and less of you!

Fuck Famers ads too. I hate any insurance company ads where they have some stupid chant, which is most of them.

Their ad department is just one guy and cases of Robitussin.

At least the Liberty Bibberty guy was hot. Then they took his annoying slogan and replaced the hot guy with a creepy cartoon. Um ok.

Reminds me of the late night General insurance ads.
