The people who gave the thumbs-up to this Esurance commercial should be beaten with the soggy end of the whiny mumbler they got to sing in it. I would rather watch twenty Sara McLachlan sad doggy and kitty commercials before I’d willingly subject myself to this one again.
Don’t know what commercial I’m talking about? It’s on heavy rotation on every single channel I regularly watch: Sci-Fi, History, Discovery, History International. I can’t escape the damned thing so I might as well inflict it on you all, too.

Heehee….companies that don’t have the budget for funny/memorable commercials must go with the completely annoying/memorable method….its cheaper.
I’d rethink my music degree if I only knew how to break into advertising. I wouldn’t require much money. The satisfaction I’d derive from never, ever making one of these commercials would almost make up for the lack of a multi-million dollar salary.
You know Jimmie, I’m beginning to like you more and more every time I come over here. You just remind me of, well, me. LOL
Make no mistake though, nothing is worse than those Billy Mays commercials.
Nothing.
That’s what TiVo is for, bud. Excellent investment. I haven’t seen a commercial I didn’t want to see for 3 years now (that Sarah M./kitties/doggies one killed me, too).
spoots – I can’t TiVo everything I end up watching. I just don’t have that much hard drive room. I need to pull some of the stuff on my DVR and burn it onto DVD. I have a burner and a stack of blank DVDs, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Chen, you’re like my left-wing twin. I’m not sure which of us is the evil one, though (though I do have a goatee). And why did you have to raise those Billy Mays commercials? Why, man?
I only wish I could share the horror that is the Sham Wow commercial.
I’ll be the evil one…
SHAM WOW!
I could never Tivo…some commercials are bad but others are more entertaining than the shows.
Like the eTrade one with the bank teller telling everyone “down on the floooooooor”. Or the Slowskis one with the mailman or when they go to their neighbors for dinner.
Chen – The guy looks like a junkie they pulled in off the street and cleaned up just enough to do the commercial. He’s the exception to the “they only put pretty people in commercials” rule.
Lori – I may just have to do a post dedicated to the commercials that make me cringe.
Like this one??
