Greg S Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think the worst commercial is the one where the friends are like... "Are you Ok?, You don't seem like yourself."

msw2112 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I'm not a Baker Mayfield fan, but I thought the Progressive commercials were clever at funny at the beginning. I also thought that maybe he should focus more on football, as he hadn't quite established his statue in the league. I remember Andrew Luck purposely declining commerical opportunities to focus on football and I respected that. I'm not sure Baker's teammates are fond of seeing his face all over the airwaves when he's missing reads, taking sacks and throwing picks that perhaps could have been avoided if he watched more film.  With the success they've had, Mahomes and Rodgers have "earned it" a little bit more, so I have less of an issue with them being in commercials. I also thought that the State Farm ads were clever and funny at the beginning. Now, however, I've had more than my fill of the "Rodgers rate" and "Patrick price." These guys now just come off as arrogant pricks that are full of themselves. The commercials are stale and no longer funny. I will admit to having a mild interest in the ax-throwing woman in one of the newer ones.  Football aside, the Kate McKinnon Verizon ads are like nails on the chalkboard. Terrible. She's very funny on SNL and might need to stick to that. Maybe she can return kicks.

I have been having this conversation with my friend for what seems like 10 years (though really only started when these awful commercials started airing), what exactly is the concept behind these commercials? I mean, Kate McKinnon is hilarious on SNL...but I just don't understand this ad campaign. After seeing them about 2,000 times, I realize they are for 5G, but whatever comic idea is at work in this campaign, I just don't get it at all. It's like 5G just said, "we got some money, get us a big celebrity...throw them in front of the camera, and let them go". So, poor Kate, all she can come up with is walking like Jimmy Cagney and "jazz hand" yelling... and I don't just mean the commercials aren't funny (most aren't) but I don't even detect the thread of any comedic notion in them. Just annoying... not far behind are the Rodgers and Mahomes ads. Stupid, not funny, but at least you understand what they are attempting... I don't blame Kate McKinnon, a paycheck is a paycheck...but jeezus!   Oddly, though I am not a Baker Mayfield fan at all, he has some comic chops at least...a better ad man than a QB? 1 hour ago, Direhard Fan said: The guy who is an accident on State Farm has to go. Terrible!
