The two least funny commercial campaigns

...that were trying to be funny.

- Wendy's

Liberty Mutual: Limu the Emu

They both appear on our local news cast.

Liberty commercials are always brutal.

Before reading the post I thought to myself, “If Liberty Mutual isn’t one of them I’m blocking whomever started this thread.” You chose, wisely.
My second choice would be anything involving Kevin Hart. He’s just not funny at all.

I do my best to ignore or tune out most advertising, and I worked in advertising for many years.

Direct TV with Logan Roy. State Farm with Jake.

State Farm with the original Jake was great. The current campaign, not so much.

Conversely, I think Progressive with Flo and The Geico Gecko have been effective, but I have not ever considered either product. But, I feel many others have.

Did you know Flo was in early seasons of Mad Men? Everything is connected.

She had a recurring role on The Goldbergs as well.

let me say this about the Liberty Mutual jingle. it sounds to me as if the ad exes actually forgot they had the account and made it up in the elevator ride to the 4th floor presentation .
"ok how's this...Liberty Liberty Libb-erty Libb-erty "

GENIUS !

But they work

But they work

Would they work better if they were actually funny, like the Progressive commericals?

wonder what it takes to stick as a spokesperson ? att LILY, FLO, Jan from the toyota ads, mr whiffle or the maytag man, jared from subway (cough) etc etc. why do some companies stick with these unexceptional nobodies and make them the face of the company ? must cost more $$.
