I ask people if they have liberty mutual in accusing tones often. I want to make it socially unacceptable to support that company.

I will join you in this fight.

Stupid insurance ads from ALL major companies repeat so often they've caused me mild psychological damage; they'll never get a dime from me.

The only one I don't see ad nauseam is the All State Mayhem commercials. I actually like those.

Those are fun because the character is so dark PLUS it at least addresses the purpose of insurance. Liberty Biberty is a nothing.

Ooh maybe you just need an emu that rhymes with it instead.

Which is a little funny because in a survey of consumers, Mayhem was the insurance mascot people were least likely to be able to connect to the brand (Flo, Gecko, Jake, and Emu I think were all more "connectable").

'You seem like the type of person who has Liberty Mutual' sounds about on par with 'I bet you have a Minions sign in your kitchen'

The latest is about generic drugs, is it that one?

u/iDrinkiKnowThings 1d ago

Yep! The last 5-10 minutes is about the Liberty Biberty mascot

Liberty commercials are so moronic. Put the CGI/AI emu to pasture and have Doug parachute into a Yellowstone hot spring.
