The Farmer's Insurance ads are a bit annoying (as above) but it is the State Farm ads (especially the one with the Kim Kardashian wannabes wanting to buy some ugly oversized designer handbags with the "savings&quot but also the one with the Mom/Grandma at the mounted wall phone that drive me batty.

For some reason, the insurance company that pushes its "accident forgiveness" also really annoys me. They use a young attractive African American women who bemoans that "we are all human", but it just comes across badly-- to me, at least.

Flo is tiresome but at least they change them up frequently.

Geico's are clearly the best.
