Difference: Ours aren't anime. They're live action. And only some of them are cute.

(I like the new Mayhem ad where the Mayhem dude is in a mascot suit of himself)

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 59 points 2 days ago

Yes, these are the same thing

[-] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Insurance companies seem slightly over-represented here

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 day ago

Pfft... Meme maker didn't even include The General.

don't forget there's a canon anime-style KFC dating sim 💀

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yo free game. Hell yeah!

[-] dch82@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

what the hell did i just see

[-] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago

like a good neighbor, state farm will cancel your policy the first time you have to file a claim because there was a hurricane in the Midwest :)))

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 45 points 3 days ago

Japan likes its animal mascots as well

Yeah, I still remember that ad where he irritatingly looks at the caveman ad in the airport.

Silly ad, but I thank them for introducing me to Röyksopp! :P

I don't get it (I'm a foreigner)

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

These are all the mascots for insurance companies in the US

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 34 points 3 days ago

When ads give you lemons, you send those lemons back. Say, “I don’t want any of your damn lemons!”

DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH LIFE'S MANAGER

I legit want to see life's manager, this month suuuuuuuucks

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

I hate all of these because it's just insurance companies trying to grift as hard as they possibly can because insurance in the US is yet another legalized scam business.

Y'all leave Flo the fuck alone.

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAKE FROM STATE FARM

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Dude isn't an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

[-] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick

Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"

libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.

Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better

Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

They subbed out Jake from State Farm and it'll never stop bugging me.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

I haven't seen an insurance ad in a decade. Who's the new Progressive dude in the pic?

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

That's Jamie, he's the goofy one

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

... Goofier than Flo?? God help me I hope I'm never subjected to one of those commercials

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

Hey, don’t shit on Jamie! Shit on the company that forces the ads down your throat

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Man fuck allstate

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

Mayhem commercials are the only decent commercials there has ever been or will ever be. I don't remember what brand they are advertising for but that's beside the point.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Allstate, I think. What’s weird to me is how close the character is to the same actor’s character on 30 Rock.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

Where Mr Clean tho

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Hey it's not nice to call Flo an animal!

Also I've never heard anyone say that, cottonelle, puffs, charmin, coke, WWF, Camel, 9lives, and those are just off the top of my head, we have plenty.

Edit: OH, "Anime" lol I can't read. Not sure Flo counts as anime though, and tbf we don't have many anime (if we're talking about Japanese style animation) mascots, but the Brawny lumberjack and Mr. Clean are animated as are many other things.

[-] janus2@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

to be fair Flo is probably an animal in bed

[-] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

You forgot about all the racism, that's very culturally significant to America

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

While not wrong, Japan is an especially bad country to compare that to.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

Is it tho? Or is it accurate?

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 2 days ago

Kevin Butler was pretty good tho
