If you haven't seen this guy yet, you will. But I'm guessing his grinning face and intense, creepy love for State Farm have been all over your television already. In this spot, you follow him into a coffee shop while he tells you about the greatness of State Farm, oblivious to the harried waitstaff all around him. Also, Stanley from The Office is there for some reason (check the five second mark).
In another one, he stands on a busy street next to a State Farm agent who is ready to tell you about the services they offer, if this guy would shut is goddamn mouth for two seconds and let her talk. Such devotion does State Farm's insurance inspire in this guy! He can't hold it in, but must spew his words all over you, the potential customer.
Consider the following:
The appeal to trust, family, friends.
The strength of numbers: 40 million! There are 40 million of us! Join us... Join us...
And, to top it off, this guy looks uncannily like noted cult enthusiast Tom Cruise.
I don't know what you are selling, exactly, State Farm, but the unbridled enthusiasm of your spokesman makes me think that I desperately do not want it.
This guy also looks like a cross between the UPS Whiteboard man and Johnny Damon.

"Thank you for choosing State Farm, oh before you go would you please take this personality test, it's free....."

A bus passed by as I was walking downtown, it had that guys picture on the side and I heard one of the women say "Oh look it's the State Farm Serial Rapist"
I just about shot coffee through my nose I was laughing so hard, that's the perfect description for that guy.

Your weblog is fine. I just need to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way an excessive amount of and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I feel is actually crucial. I dont know if you didnt think that your words could hold everyones attention, but you were wrong.
I was not sure where to start, so I'm rightful saying that this is a very redeeming article. I enjoyed reading this and thinking exactly the point you make.
