On every single professional sports game I’ve ever seen, every single show, every single channel. Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?
Why is it even legal to do this? Blowing this money on CONSTANT, DUMB fucking little fucking cutesy fucking skits, not even trying to fucking pitch anything anymore, just burning money on TV and laughing at us while the fucking lemur does epic bants. it makes me so fucking sick, these people should be chained in the dungeons for the rest of their lives.
It’s illegal to not have car insurance so why the fuck do they think we need to see this constant fucking microwaved vomit fucking garbage every fucking second every fucking show every fucking channel??
thank you
It stopped being your money when you gave it to them. It became their money, and they get to spend it how they want, with some caveats.
One reason insurance ads are so stupid is that they are tightly regulated as to what they can actually say. They’re not allowed to make big promises. So you get lizards talking to car tires or whatever the fuck.
There are two reasons
-
The market is saturated. Everybody pretty much already has insurance and they only shop for it when they have a reason to. So you want them to have your company’s name on their mind when the time comes. The biggest source of new customers are people who switch from someone else.

GEICO was having name recognition problems when it transitioned from covering government employees exclusively.(Government Employees Insurance Company) This is where the lizard mascot came from. It was a huge success and other insurance companies followed suit. What we have now is a sort of arms race where all the major companies spend ridiculous amounts on advertising, but nobody wants to scale back for fear of being buried by their competitors ads.
Billions? Trillions? Ummmm, anyway…
The reason is because they aren’t idiots, it works or they wouldn’t do it. The issue with car insurance (and I assume this is what you are talking about since they bombard me also) is that it is a commodity. Let’s face it, they are all the same and heavily regulated by states. The only way they can grab customers is by the “plant our name in your head” method and that requires yelling at you constantly.
That said I HATE those ads. Geico has now been replace by Liberty Mutual as the most annoying company.
The question wasn’t why do they try, the question was why does society let them do it
