Can you please stop? I hate them so much. The state farm commercials from about the last decade has been so annoying! The commercial with guy who says he is never doing this or that only to do everything he said he wasn't going to do, the commercials with "Jake from State Farm, " the one with the two guys stranded in the middle of the desert after a wreck, the ones with the Elvis impersonators, the ones with the Mexican guy and Asian guy in the middle of the desert eating food with buffalo attacking them (like what is that about anyway?), the one with the fishing pole guy.

Disrespect for his family and his wife. Holding out on the good drivers discount and then the toilet seat what an [censor]! What ad agency thought this was a good commercial? All I see is a very nasty husband and father.
Wow bad

State farm commercials are increasingly annoying especially that one with the woman that says " Don't mess with my discount!"

I've seen 3 different versions of this commercial with the same woman, and they are all Annoying!

State Farm is obviously & desperately trying to find a 'CATCH PHRASE' like 'Aflac' and 'Progressive'... NO SUCH LUCK! They need to hire a new company to do their commercials, instead of annoying the ***t out of everyone.

Apparently, modern ad agencies think that creating an exaggerated, wacked-out hyperbolic situation, followed by an expressionless, deadpan delivery is hysterically funny. The fact is, however, that it's nothing but annoying. There is not one thing about the "don't mess with my discount" commercial that is even remotely cute or funny. I actually feel sorry for the people who write this stuff because it's nothing short of pathetic.

The woman more concerned with a discount than her unborn fetus is appalling.

Also, the she-shed commercial is very annoying.

The She Shed - Cheryl is going to get an “even sheshe-ier she shed” now that hers has burned down. This commercial enforces the idea in society that one should benefit from insurance as opposed to just be made whole.

Your "don't mess with my discount " commercial is very very unnecessary. My son is 4 and when she yells DONT MESS WITH MY DISCOUNT! HE DOES TOO! HE WILL YELL AT HIS BABY SISTER IN THAT TONE OF VOICE, YELL IN HER FACE AND SHE IS ONLY A BABY AND CAN BARELY WALK AND WHEN HE DOES THAT TO HER SHE WILL CRY. CCCCRRRRRYYYYYY! I'm very unhappy with it, she's too worried about a discount then her unborn child and when we go into labor we don't yell at our husbands LIKE THAT. This is uncalled for, what if the baby was in trouble and was dying or something. But yet you want to drive "slow" and cause a wreck or if you drive too "fast" you will cause an accident all because of a discount . You guys are real professionals when it comes to these commercials especially with that annoying cross eyed blonde woman yelling at her man. She thinks she is really proud about it, I would change your outlook when it comes to these commercials

There are two aspects of the State Farm ads that are troubling to me. The first of which is the psychological tactics employed (including the portrayal of child abuse) and that all the insurance companies appear to be getting on the bandwagon of adding a device to track your driving...when will the push to make this invasion of our privacy mandatory happen?

As a lifelong advertising professional you should listen to these people. Maybe you found a dozen unemployed people lured by free beer and pizza to laugh at your focus group, but you need to fire your agency. Get them to hire some writers older than the age of 14. Get some adults with taste and wisdom in the room. This, commenters, is at the heart of the matter. Advertising is run by children.

Oh yes, the guy smelling his beard - just turns your stomach, doesn't it? Now here's the girl who keeps her shrimp tails and shows us the ones from her pockets! What is wrong with State Farm that they cannot see the level of poor taste demonstrated in these commercials? Gross and bizarre.

It seems that when an ad agency can't come up with funny commercials to catch your attention, they resort to gross disgusting ones. Since their new series, e.g. smelling the beard, etc. started my only reaction is to change the channel immediately. If State Farm's intent is to associate their company with repulsion, then they've succeeded. Also, the commercials that aren't gross are just boring and stupid. Fire your ad agency.

Really advertising has hit new lows with state farm. Does the little boys write this crap? Dancing queers. Beard sniffing shaving your chest to resemble a squirrel. SERIOUSLY who is your client base. While yes i do remember the asinine commercials the poor taste and disgusting comic suggestions. State Farm will never be my choice for an insurance firm. The decision for the choice of ads speaks volumes .I would ridicule any body that is foolish enough to have a policy with them. I cannot change the channel or mute the media fast enough. Somebodys sick in the head at state farm. Maybe is is run by the state that would explain a bit. Sick. Joe

Ever since they introduced black jake to piggyback on the original jake ads, which weren’t annoying at all “, I have no patience with their increasingly stupid commercials. Shrimp tails…wow, that’s a new low.

Ok--I'm going to be the one to say this, because others are afraid to. You took a super funny commercial with the original Jake from State Farm. He was funny BECAUSE he was so bland and clueless and defending himself with his wife, who thought he was having an affair. That is FUNNY. He made khakis funny. But then the WOKE executives weighed in. We can't have a white man in a successful commercial--no, no. We'll replace him with a black Jake with State Farm and make HIM funny. Because although whites are 60% and blacks 13%, which means also that those stats are close to State Farm's own customer makeup--we are going to replace the funny, lovable Jake with State Farm with the new Jake with State farm based on color of skin ONLY. The new commercials are not only NOT funny, they are annoying, and in some cases, disgusting. I won't change my insurance to State Farm, purely based on these commercials ALONE. I hate it for the Agents, because they are at the mercy of absolutely stupid, tone-deaf State Farm executives and Board of Directors.

Let’s not forget that they think all white men are [censored]es. Maybe the white men should quit buying their insurance, considering they’re the only ones who pay for insurance, especially in the southern states. I guarantee you they’re wasting their time playing commercials in the southern states, these [censored]es drive around without insurance but put them in all their commercials. Just because you showed some black guy doesn’t mean the Black people can afford your insurance.

State Farm: if you stop doing three things, I will pay you hard, cold cash. Name your price. I swear to God. #1: stop airing all of your commercials. #2: stop making additional commercials. #3: fire the talentless idiot firm who came up with the commercials. The only funny one was when the wife was accusing her spouse of having an affair. You know, the original Jake from State Farm. All the others are so so so so so so bad. They're not funny, not interesting, not clever, etc. I will pay you. Name your price. I beg of you.

Here's a suggestion State Farm...first, fire you advertising agency because the SUCK! So unfunny and annoying. Jake, from State Farm, get a real job because you have no talent. I read they replaced the original because the black Jake was a professional actor...I don't see it. You piss me off every time I hear you speak. Next, hire the agency that Progressive Insurance has...at least those are clever and entertaining.

Your commercials are absolutely pathetic. Not only are they they worst of all insurance agency commercials, you guys are up there with the worst ads of all ads. Your black savior Jake has the most slappable face on TV. Guy is not funny. He hit the jackpot just cause some exec needed a black dude in his ads… oh yeah and let’s make every white man a complete fool in your commercials too. Wtf is wrong with these companies?

They are catering to the 1% demographic that they act like is America. White people will always just look the other way. Maybe we should start screaming and yelling stupid obscenities to get our way.

This insurance company waited as long as they could to pay out my claim after I was rear ended by a State Farm policyholder. 3 years later, I had lost my job, home, and entire life savings waiting on them to pay for my spine surgery. As a single mother this made life difficult for me financially and emotionally. I have yet to recover in both aspects and seeing your ANNOYING commercials makes it extremely difficult for me to move on emotionally. I can’t even watch a 2 minute video on YouTube without one of your stupid ads coming on grossing me out. At least you’ve stopped trying to gaslight me into thinking that you’re “like a good neighbor”. But you can bet that if anyone is around me and interested I ALWAYS share the detailed story along with the pictures of the case. The NDA you forced me to sign to receive the funds I was entitled to was done so under duress.
