You've got to give those insurance companies, well some of them, credit for bringing some humor to the air waves during otherwise antagonizing commercials. This is when I do other stuff, like watch video tapes I've recorded or read or get something.
However, Aflac, Progressive, Geico and Allstate commercials are ones I watch. The duck is hilarious, there is just something about Flo, three of the Geico gang (Gecko, Cavemen and the fake Rod Sterling guy are fine), and then, there's my favorite, Mayhem.
CONTINUING WITH INSURANCE "MASCOTS"
THE ALLSTATERS
MAYHEM: Leo Burnett ad agency introduced the award-winning commercials, featuring actor Dean Winters last summer. The stuff they make him do. Besides "Shakey," I like the BFF in the parking lot and car flag ones.
DENNIS HAYSBERT-- Allstate's reassuring father figure and that voice of his makes you really feel like you're in good hands. He also played the commander of the "Unit." Pedro Cerrano in the movie "Major League" and President David Palmer on "24."
STATE FARM-- Eddie Matos-- Doesn't do anything for me.
NATIONWIDE-- Bob Wiltfong-- Nothing here either.
METLIFE-- Snoopy-- Well everybody likes Snoopy. Creator Charles Schulz license Snoopy to the insurance company in 1985. Makes him the elder statesman of the insurance guys.
Watch Out for Old Mayhem!! --Cooter
