Esurance Rolls Out ‘Election Insurance’ on April Fools’ Day to Move You to Canada

A new April Fools’ Day ad from Esurance offers the fictitious “election insurance,” promising to watch and protect your home as you flee to Canada.

The commercial claims that Esurance is the brand to go with whether your settling down or uprooting your family to move to Canada. “Because now more than ever, it’s important to have a smart policy that protects you home in the event that you decide to abandon it for the next four years,” narrates That Guy Who Played Jim Halpert.



The ad features a series of humorous vignettes from a stereotypical snob, hippie, and redneck explaining why they’re moving to Canada. “I believe it is my patriotic duty to leave this country and only return when we are back on top,” the redneck says.

“If you choose to leave the country, Esurance is not responsible for any walls erected after your departure, and assumes no legal or financial responsibility if your assets are redistributed for the greater good in your absence,” a disclaimer at the end reads.
