My Pick For the Best Commercials For 2020

by John Rovi

This year was a very good year for TV commercials, but I wanted to focus on one industry for the funniest commercials. It seems that insurance companies are making a lot of money because they spend so much money on TV advertising. With that, I thought I would give you my favorite commercials from each of the big insurance companies.

Geico has so many commercials you would expect a few to stick. Here are my top picks from Geico:

My favorite overall campaign is the “We have a problem” commercials.

Progressive Insurance has upped their game. The Dr. Rick series is one of the best campaigns ever:

Jamie & Flow – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-XOynn7DoY

Nationwide, with Payton Manning and Brad Paisley as the two front men. They really work well with one another:

State Farm, as large as they are, there is nothing new or interesting about their commercials:

The Real Deal – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6_s0B2dmw

Liberty Mutual has not done as much as Geico or Progressive, but here are a couple good ones:

LiMu Emu and Doug – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEcorQfoBpE

As always … my two cents.
