From the March 16th Chicago Tribune "After Aflac, other mascots" by Rob Manker.
It used to be that you had to look forward to beer commercials for humor when it came to boring TV commercials, but the insurance companies have really jumped into the fray.
Of course, there was the Gilbert Gottfried incident for Aflac after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which was the reason for this article.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE INSURANCE COMMERCIAL?
AFLAC-- the white duck
PROGRESSIVE-- Flo
GEICO-- the Gecko, Cavemen, Kash (the money clip), the Fake Rod Serling Guy
ALLSTATE-- Mayhem and Dennis Haysbert
Runnersup
STATE FARM-- Eddie Matos
NATIONWIDE-- Bob Wiltfong
METLIFE-- Snoopy
The last three aren't in the running at all with me.
MY PICKS
Overall, All State because of Mayhem. That guy is hilarious!!
Three Funniest individual commercials:
1. Geico's Woodchucks chucking wood.
2. Aflac's duck and Yogi Berra
3. AllState's Mayhem tree "Shakey, Shakey, Shakey"
I'll write more about these commercials, along with Facebook fans on my history blog at http://cootershistorything.blogspot.com.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
