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.

So the joke's on me, I had no idea who she is and the reason is that I decided long ago that SNL's funny days were in the very distant past.  Ignorance is bliss.  She's awful.

I like the Baker commercials tbh. 

 

Yeah, it's kind of "so bad it's good" territory for me.

I think the worst commercial is the one where the friends are like... "Are you Ok?, You don't seem like yourself." "If you want to talk, I am here for you." They play that stupid commercial all the time. 

 

I hope you hate it solely for the frequency, and not being against mental health.

I'll be happy when I no longer have to see the Mahomes/Rogers State Farm Insurance ads.

Oh, another contender enters the ring!

 

All of those series are terrible. 

 

The Serena commercials are absolutely terrible, but the one saving grace is the "guest appearance" by John McEnroe in one of them.  I'm a fan of Johnny Mac from back in the day.
