USAA is running an awful lot of commercials considering most Americans are not eligible for their services. They're such busy commercials, too, at least on the radio.

Has Jake from State Farm been going t-shirt shopping with Ed Hochuli? Jesus, dude, you're too big for a medium.

Speaking of State Farm commercials, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes are making something like a combined $30 million this year. Why are they having steaks in what looks like a Bonanza? I guess if Mahomes is just going to ruin the steak by dousing it in ketchup there's no point in paying for a really good one.

I still can't think of a reason everyone even tangentially involved with the LoveSac commercial shouldn't be catapulted into the sun.

We're having a problem with our neighbor's fencing. I think I saw that bit in a 7th grade skit some years back.

Those cocksuckers from Kars4Kids have a new autotune version of their pedophilic jingle. The purveyor of this campaign is like Micheal Myers- should have died multiple times, but survives to kill again.

have had that same thought for a long time....

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-USAA-insurance-advertising-so-much-if-its-only-intended-to-be-for-military-families
this has to be true it was the first google link

Quote:
They used to be much more selective than that. It used to be only for officers in the US military, not enlisted. The company that catered to the enlisted was GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company)

The problem is there are not enough Officers who enrolled to keep it competitive and viable, so they opened it to family members, and then to all military. There are some aspects of USAA that are available to all, but for insurance it it is kind of a co-op so only military members.

But there is another reason to advertise, not all military members know about USA or have it as their insurance company, and since there are a few million military members at any time, they want to enroll as many as they can to keep them growing, competitive and viable.

It is exactly the say reason you see so many GEICO commercials out there. They need the base numbers to be good.

There is a Life insurance company out there called Thrivent. It is a combination of Lutheran Brotherhood and Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL) that combined in 2003. For years you had to be a Lutheran to buy product from them. They are a fraternal benefits society which means their profits instead of being taxed are redistributed through grants and gifts to various non-profit groups.

A number of years ago they read the handwriting on the wall and realized they were going after a smaller and smaller group of folks, they have opened their products to all Christians. They need the base numbers. So they have to open their products to a larger base of people. Check them out they are rated as one of the top most ethical companies in the USA.

But it always comes down the numbers. To stay viable and profitable, you have to have the numbers. Word of mouth used to be all you needed, but now you need a lot more. Adverting is the key to that. (By the way if you are old enough you will remember never seeing a commercial for Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Mercedes on TV. Now we see them along with all the others.)

Ultimately it is a numbers game.

Until the last scene where he is sitting at the table and smiling, he seems like the kind of guy who constantly tries to prove how much of a hardass he is.

Is he the guy who believes in doing things the right way, like measuring twice and cutting once? or is he the former drill instructor who is impressed by insurance companies not disputing every single claim they get?

This includes virtually all of the car sales ads. Especially the GMC suv ones for 3 years now.

Any US Cellular commercial with I guess their answer to AT&T’s lady.

She’s not cute, sure as hell isn’t hot but is she ever annoying.

And what responsible financial genius goes out and drops $150K on two loaded GMCs without talking it over with his partner? Not even enough to know that he coulda saved $20K and bought two trucks instead of the SUV. Maybe it's al like the Kobe Diamond- "Sorry I raped the babysitter..."

Yeah, it had that feel to it. OF COURSE she chose the pickup, and it will sit in the garage unused.

what's with the mini second of nooses in the root insurance commercial?

i thought the nooses surrounding bubba wallace were proven to have been made prior to bubba wallace being at that particular garage and the nooses were constructed to close garage doors.

the SJWs now need to make up imaginary events to 'prove' their point of rampant, systemic racism in the usa??

i'll stick with state farm and met life.

lilly has made enough money from her at&t commercials to be spending much time in greece, working on behalf of migrants trying to get to an EU nation.

she calls them refugees, but, they are migrants.

The Liberty Mutual "nostalgic Christmas" commercial where one kid is overjoyed to get a new insurance policy and ends with a singularly unattractive woman grinning at the camera is repulsive.

They should just fire their marketing department for all of their damn commercials.

The Score played the Hub Arkush spot for "Prop Swap" this morning, which was unfortunate:

"A bettor put $500 on the Dodgers to win the WS, the Lakers to win the NBA title, and Clemson to win the college championship. If all three came in, the bet would pay $31,000. After the Dodgers and Lakers won, he sold the ticket to another bettor for $9000. Everybody wins."

Everybody except the chump who bought the ticket for $9k.
