Why did the partner in the original ad even ask Jake what he was wearing? It was just odd.
Felt a bit like a stereotype, honestly.

Maybe it was supposed to be passive-aggressive humor.
He’s even sponsoring threads on this forum but with no comments allowed, I wonder why…
The first Jake was a real employee. Pretty sure he moved on to something else now.

Yeah, the original guy doesn’t work there anymore. They wanted an actor who could be available for more commercials.

Honestly, that one ad with the ‘oak and eagle’ guy is super strange. Like, who thought that was a good idea?

It felt like they were trying to make him sound like a character from a TV show.

People forget there were ads like this way back in the day.

Sure thing, good old nostalgia.
The name ‘State Farm’ sounds kind of outdated. Maybe time for a refresh.
Like, thanks for saving me money, here’s some stolen steak. Weird.
Guess the first Jake was ‘too much of the same.’

They should’ve just called the new guy Blake.
Care to guess why?

New branding, I guess?
Maybe there’s an endless supply of ‘Jakes’ ready to be cast.
All feels a bit forced to me.
