I'm not offended but

The squirrel sisters was the first elephant one I saw, years ago.
Squirrel girls doing anything for a nut? I can handle it.
Squirrel sisters though? *cringe*

Oh I thought this was a brand new commercial, post me2 etc.... Never saw it before.
 


LOL that was it? I was expecting some soft core porn or something by the way some of you were describing it.
It's an animated talking elephant so I really am not surprised or offended by any of it's comments. It's not real.
 
There are several of the elephant commercials and they all have something like that. He goes through the airport and is getting patted down for ivory and suddenly lets the guy know “that’s NOT ivory!”

Not sure why this sells pistachios but whatever works I guess.
 
So I give you a list and you still can't post a link to the one you're talking about? Here, I'll do it for you to help the other posters.

Maybe she doesn't know how to post links. Some people still don't (or quote, or multi-quote, etc.) even thought it's fairly easy.

I thought it was kind of funny. But then again, my sister used to write cat food commercials back in the day, so I know that the people who do that have to have a somewhat zany sense of humor.
 


Are you kidding me? The mayhem commercials are great. I guess it comes down to a person's sense of humor type.

And honestly they often have a very good message people should think about.


The elephant commercials make me laugh, I mean there is so much more that is worse on the television programs you are watching.

I do hate some commercials ... I think my guide is when my kids were younger and watching ... the commercials that cause them to ask questions about some things we need not discuss at the time .... they don't need to be on tv. And usually they are products that don't need to be advertised since they are needs not wants.
 
I don't understand why insurance companies get the right to be ridiculously off topic with there commercial. Probably because they are such a scam when they go to pay you.
Even the "She Shed" in most cases would the "She shed" be covered? almost seems like an illegal living space.
I do love the term She Shed though.

A "she shed" is not considered living space unless they have fully finished it to be able to be permitted as such. And at that point it's no longer a she shed but a bungalow/guest house which I assume needs addendum insurance.

If you have a detached garage, it would be covered under your HOA under "other structures" so she shed, tool shed, fencing. I think it's usually all other structures combined are covered at a low percentage of the value of your home coverage. If I were to build a fancy she shed I would contact my insurance company to increase the coverage just like you would do if you had a music or other studio/office in your detached garage or building.

Yes but the commercial implies that she is unsure if her she shed was covered which would lead to the assumption State Farm was not contacted about the conversion beforehand.

And what about Allstate and the mayhem racoon that dumps paint on my car in the garage. Would I be covered for that?

Typically that's more how the shed caught on fire, etc as in does that qualify as a covered loss. When they say "you're covered for that" that's typically what they mean.

Actually vermin and the like has come up if it's a covered thing or not. Again it's how it came to be that is usually the case. Of course not always but the commercials are more showcasing that aspect.

One time the insurance company I worked for was going back and forth on the policy back trying to figure out if the damage to this person's home (as in soffits and eves and whatnot) was covered because it was caused by creatures. In the end they decided it qualified as a covered loss as the damage was caused by creatures not considered vermin (vermin was excluded in the particular policy) therefore the damage to the property was covered.

You have to check your given policy on if it's a covered loss (of course for what you're actually talking about you'd need comprehensive coverage to begin with). Liability only means the insurance company isn't covering the vehicle itself.

Of course there are always things not covered in one's insurance policy but again normally the commercials are showcasing different things than that.
 
I've not see that commercial before now. I think it's funny. And I LOVE the Mayhem commercials, especially the cat one.
 
I kinda roll my eyes at the elephant commercial. I don't find it offensive, but it occurs to me now that if I had small children, it'd be exactly the kind of thing to which they'd latch on and demand an answer, "What does he mean when he says ___?"

I like the Mayhem guy.

I hate the term She Shed. If I had a space for myself in which to relax or craft, it wouldn't be a stupid shed in the back yard.

The commercial I find most offensive right now is the one about fancy closets -- the one in which the woman is dressing up for a job interview and says, "Miss Hiring Manager, I haven't been working-working, but I've been working." Clearly she's been a stay-at-home-mom, but instead of playing up her strengths, she focuses on dressing pretty /saying she's ready to start where she left off. What a vapid, empty-headed airhead. She's not only unrelatable (in her huge, expensive closet), she's offensive to both working moms and stay-at-home moms.

"They'll drink left over turkey grease."
"They'll go outside without coats, hats, and gloves"
"They blow snot bubbles out of their nose"

Not very hard to come up with an answer.
