    I used to think that beer commercials and McDonalds' commercials were the worst and most annoying commercials out there. However, I really believe it is the insurance commercials. I am having a hard time figuring out which one is the worst so I ask you, Clutchfans, to help me decide!

    The choices are

    • Allstate
    • Geico
    • Progressive
    • State Farm

    Okay, Allstate has the stupid guy "Mayhem" who does all these stupid things plus they have ordinary people talking with Pedro Cerrano's voice. Geico has the incredibly annoying Australian accented gecko as well as those 2 dorks that play the guitar and mandolin (Ronnie and Jimmy I think are their names). Progressive has Flo...nuff said. State Farm has Aaron Rodgers and his discount double check.

    I think of these 4, State Farm annoys me the least but I really can't choose amongst the other 3. Probably will go with Geico but you can definitely make a strong case for both Allstate and Progressive, lol.

    I actually don't mind the Mayhem guy (when you first see them they're kind of funny, but then gets receptive fast) or State Farm. The current Geico commercials bother the hell out of me, and Flo... well... is Flo.

    I loved the old caveman Geico commercials though.

    I hate that GEICO radio commercial about how complicated technology is.

    "How many remotes does it take to change the channel?"

    One. Just one.

    WE, ARE, FARMERS! Bam, ba-ram-bam-bam, bam-bam!

    WTH? You missed "Farmers" and the professor James Jonah Jameson ;)
    :confused:

    The gecko is an actual ENGLISH actor: Jake Wood. His original own accent is bad?

    Maxwell the pig.

    Slightly improved since they cut out all the shrill pig screaming, but Flo & mayhem have a looong way to go before they're that unwatchable. And those two have even had a few years head start over maxwell, in terms of cumulative annoyance.

    I still don't get what's so funny about the discount double check commercial, find that one really annoying.

    Ummm, no. It has to be the one that would play so loud, so many damn times in a game I would get pissed.
