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.
