Scott8950 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It reminds me of a scene in heart like a wheel where Shirley Muldowney raced Frank "the crank" in his fiat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I agree this is a cool commercial and not just because there's racing involved. It catches your attention and then you stick with it to see where it's going and they make a good point on selling their product. Most commercials these days are stupid and annoying which I guess companies think we'll like and then buy their product. Not me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 I despise those emu commercials almost as much as the ones with Flo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've liked some past commercials with Flo and Jamie, but lately the characters seem just annoying. "In universe" they seem obnoxious with other characters, particularly Jamie's ride with a woman in her car in a current commercial. Quirky characters are fine, but this is beyond that. I don't understand the reason behind the Emu. Farmers Insurance commercials have used quite a few miniature props and sets. I've seen behind the scenes pictures, including a 1:25 pickup. https://foncostudios.com/fabrication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Somewhere in my pile of VHS tapes (some digitized) is a behind-the-scenes TV segment from the '90s showing the work behind the first commercial shown below. Miniature props were utilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hadn't seen the Allstate drag race commercial. Thanks for sharing it. I agree; it is one of the better ones lately. Flo and her compadres are lame, as are the vast majority of their commercials. The MoTar thing is disgustingly obnoxious. Limu the Emu, often stupid but a few "cute" ones. By far and away, the majority of the Farmers commercials are great! The others could learn a lot from Farmers' commercial concept. PS: I don't recall having seen those stop-action Nissan commercials with the action figure dolls, but they are great! Thanks for sharing them. 🌵😎 Edited March 22, 2021 by Danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
