35. Mute the Sonic guys and State Farm ads

Mon Jan 12, 2015, 08:28 AM

Jan 2015

There are about five State Farm commercials (Jake 3am, car hit by buffaloes, etc.) which they've been running for 5 or 6 years now. They're muted immediately. You'd think State Farm could afford some new ads.

The Sonic guys get automatically muted. Peyton gets muted too.

We like Mr. Mayhem. We miss the ad with the little boy as an adult driver... "You're killin' me."
