Lukewarm take but the Liberty Mutual commercials aren't even in the bottom HALF of the worst ads ever aired, but because their media budget is perceivably unlimited, we hate them disproportionately because we see them so often.

Like I hate them. HATE them. But it's not just because they're insulting to my intelligence, but because I get 4 permutations of the same leather jacket guy in the same YT vid.

Anyway thanks for letting me hate for a sec. Have a good week everyone.

Disagree, they’re top-to-bottom awful. They look ugly, they feel cheap, the cast is annoying, the casting is annoying, the jokes are self-referential in the worst way (what’s with the “biberty” thing?) and the tone is like a really bad Little Caesars. Even more annoying that the CCOs started their own shop, have creative freedom and are making the same slop they were before.

No agency has been responsible for that in front of the statue work in like 4 years.
