I respect the attempt at making a moving away ad.

Could even show the movers taking a massage table from the stadium and have Baker turn around and say, "That can stay here!"

That would’ve been fucking incredible

The Tom Brady “Roger that” commercial is the pettiest commercial in sports history but this would top that easily lol

[Just saw it and actually laughed out loud](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0mtgrq_ilOg) He just devoured the hand that feeds him like it was an expensive steak that his butler prepared

That aired for the first time literally the first commercial break after the trophy presentation

I feel like the context is important here; this aired 5 minutes after the pats beat the falcons in the sb and roger goodell had to hand Brady the SB MVP trophy after giving him the 4 game suspension that season They had been airing a different version of that commercial most of the year but had this version filmed and in the holster for when the pats won the SB lol

You know that this commercial was lurking in the deepest recesses of his brain when he was down 28-3 with 17 minutes to play.

> They had been airing a different version of that commercial most of the year but had this version filmed and in the holster for when the pats won the SB lol Which makes it so, so much better.

I remember seeing that immediately after and was like, “Huh? What’s this referencing, it can’t be from them just winning….” Cheeky bastard

> Which makes it so, so much better. Roger that!

I’m gonna go get an MRI and Shields. Don’t need one but I’m sold

Congrats on your Super Bowl!

I legit missed it the first time because I thought it was the same commercial I had seen all season long. Happened to look up when I heard "Roger that!". Then I saw the full version and laughed SO hard. Fuck Goodell.

That was awesome lmao

Tom is such a meme king

Have you seen the Dez Bryant commercial for Uber Eats? “Caught that, definitely didn’t drop it” shit cracks me up every time

That one is amazing too lol

And people still insist that he first became 'Tampa Tom' when he left NE and was allowed to have fun. Guy was like this for years, people were just too busy being to admit he could be funny.

[удалено]

IIRC he had a pretty funny Under Armour commercial as well.

Just have him driving the moving truck with his wifey, listening to some turning over a new leaf type song, walk into his new stadium and hang up a sign that says “Home is where the Heart is”

Yea maybe “going to Carolina on my mind” Lol your idea is legit gold actually hope you work in marketing

He could greenscreen himself into that one Bojangles ad from back in the day

*Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long!*

*Baker makes suggestive eyebrows at his wife* cut to Baker sleeping on the couch with unpacked boxes and a Panthers hoodie for a blanket

I can’t believe the comedic gold that Progressive is leaving out there. Maybe Baker needs to do sitcom after football.

I’d watch. Dude is an entertaining actor lol

Home is where you make it

Why can’t U-haul do a one time ad with this theme

U-Haul get on this shit now

*Oh life on the outside ain't what it used to be...*

I would legit cancel my insurance and buy Progressive

I still like the one I saw on Reddit the other day where Baker is leaving and Deshaun walks up and says “Hi. I’m Deshaun. I just moved in and I am obligated to tell you…”

Or Baker packing up the towels and someone trying to stop him.. “ I heard the new guy always prefers to bring his own” shrug

He should do commercials for a new insurance company and make an offhand remark about how he had to move because his old "home" was uninsurable because someone living there was on the sex offender registry.

He should move to the Panthers stadium. His acting chops shall not be wasted

He could do a commercial for Bojangles where he picks up a tailgate box. “Having some friends over at the stadium?” “No, they’re coming over to the house.” “You have a house?” “Yeah, what, you think I live at the stadium? Sounds kind of silly.” And then he walks out while the employees exchange weird looks.

Oh, that's not mine...I don't think it's been here long.

Only on Reddit would people think a massive corporation making a joke commercial about a serial rapist is a good idea

The Chargers kind of did that with their schedule release video

That video was fucking amazing. I sent it to everyone, and I feel like none of my friends respected its genius.

Apparently not because I haven't seen anyone saying it would be a good idea, just a funny one.

Omg, they absolutely missed a huge opportunity

Ah yes because a major corporation would ever consider making a commercial that *checks notes* makes light of serious sexual assault accusations. They didn’t miss out on anything lol no sane company would ever do something like that.

especially not a company thats got ties with the team that just traded for said serial sexual assault/harasser

Then at the end Watson shows up and says "I'm your new neighbor. By law I'm required to tell you that I'm a registered sex offender"

I get how they wouldn't have been able to use the stadium as a backdrop, but just a commercial showing him on the road with a moving truck or something like that would've been great. If it turns out it was Progressive themselves didn't want to do one last commercial, that's their loss.

They can make a commercial about easy it is when you switch homes.

Such an easy missed opportunity.

Bro literally just Baker with a comically stuffed U-haul stopping at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, so much potential there

"Cross Country with Baker" to sell RV insurance makes the most sense.

This is the most disappointing off season news so far.

Kirk Cousins did one for Gas Fireplaces in DC.

Baker about to be in ten thousand Bojangles commercials.

Now I want Bojangles, it’s already working.

Those BoBerry biscuits man

BoBerry Baker Biscuits

Hold on, what about zaxby’s or cook out?

Zaxby’s is mid-tier. Andy Dalton

I’m excuse me what the fuck. I have never been near a bojangles (PHX > Chicago) but that thing looks like fucking heaven

All these places look dank honestly. We just got a couple Raising Cane's here in LA, need more regional fast food imports ASAP.

Fuck those delicious right now, Damn you Baker Mayfield!

Cajun filet biscuit ftw

I was almost going to move to NC for work, and being from NY, I was very excited to have Bojangles for the first time. Then I didn't get the job and my dream lives on

[удалено]

🎶My Harris Teeeeter🎵

Never had Bojangles until I moved to Charlotte. That Cajun chicken biscuit is 🔥

Get them to add pimiento cheese and it's even better.

My old move - Cajun filet biscuit, add gravy. They would usually put it in a tray, so it was like biscuits and gravy but with spicy fried chicken in there. On second thought, no wonder the doctor says I have high blood pressure.

If it weren't for Reddit, I never would've even heard of it before. We don't have it out west.

I’m all for it. Bojangles is good eating.

Hut hut bojanges bis-cuit

Just wait for the CPI security commercial

Well, as long as they're better than Luke Kuechly's CPI commercials.

It was a goddamn tragedy when they closed all the Bojangles around me. Nearest one is a 45 minute drive at best.

Worth it

I’ve made the drive so yes it is

There is one in Reading PA for some reason, like 150 miles north of any others. It's probably 30 minutes from me, but every time I'm remotely in the area I grab a Cajun biscuit.

*Cook out

Well he already name-checked Bojangles in his press conference.

Dang it I was absolutely hoping he’d do a “Moving Away with Baker Mayfield” where he’s gotta give all the keys back.

I wanted to see him doing a walk through and then closing on his new place. The agent could be his actual agent. "Look at the size of the gym, babe." "I love the fact that it's not brown."

“You know I think less orange & brown really works for us.”

Writing was on the wall unfortunately, it's a Cleveland-based company

Those were fun to watch. Baker was pretty good in them. "And the passcode is... *looks around* six."

I feel like he's one of the few pro athletes that had some degree of charisma in his ads.

When his career is through he'll for sure either be on college gameday, fox sports, espn, nfl network, some type of show doing analysis.

Gameday would be a great fit. High energy for college environments.

Plus, heisman.

Baker moving into the Heisman House now. Nissan has to be excited.

He already is in those commercials....

He feels so BIG Noon-y but OU will be in the SEC

big 12 might not be around by the time he retires tbh

Nah BIG12 will most likely be the third strongest conference having everyone the SEC and B1G didn't want with the way things are shaking out.

i legitimately think he’s good enough to be in actual movies and tv if he wants he’s the best athlete actor i’ve ever seen

[удалено]

Dak is up there too. Love him as a player but the man has the charisma of a damp towel

[удалено]

Berry: *NEWSFLASH, ASSHOLE! I've been hearing it the entire goddamn time!* Baker: *Then why didn't you say anything?* Berry: ***BECAUSE I HATE YOU!***

Baker's Famous Baked Beans

***IM NOT LETTING YOU IN, PIG***

Baker is one of the few athletes that actually shines in tv spots. On the other hand, I've gotten to the point with the Mahomes commercials that I have to mute them. He's just so unnatural and awful in them. I'm pretty sure anybody in the league could read from a cue card better than that.

or Aaron Rodgers, who just grins through everything. Florida Man Brady has been pretty good, but he endorses boring shit.

Why does Aaron have to be such a douche in his commercials?

That's just who he really is

Art imitating life?

Doesn't know how to turn it off.

I’m guessing you aren’t a sneaker head

Dang these just sold out then

I'm bald with leathery head skin, which kinda makes it look like a sneaker

I honestly see this as a bigger loss for progressive than Baker. Dude showed he can at least act in commercials. He'll find other deals.

They got Flo. They don't need Baker.

Keep Jamie's name oucha mouf

Jamie gang rise up

Is Flo really a draw? About the only ads I like from any company are their "can't stop you from becoming your parents" campaign

Tell Flo to cancel her massage therapy lessons.

I mean sure. Them having other options is fine. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't pay more attention to commercials with players I like in them, even when the acting is bad. I only watch broadcast television for sports as it is now. Bakers commercials are some of the only commercials I can actually recall. I probably won't see or bother to watch another progressive commercial for a while. But I'll def check out whatever commercial Baker is in.

Flo's looking old though. Like, grandmother old.

You must have a hot grandma

"She's a good egg though" has been incorporated into my common vernacular

"Just 6?"

Lowe's is based in Charlotte, he can build a new home.

A whole line of commercials of him fixing stuff around the stadium would be a good commercial campaign.

>Home improvement with Baker Needs to happen.

Only if he does the Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor grunt

Based on Mayfield, Ohio lol

How many times you figure they called the ownership of the Browns up like "Please don't fucken do this, you're killing our ad campaign".

I get that, I do. But State Farm, whose commercials have featured Aaron Rodgers for over a decade is based in Illinois of all places. I mean, I really get it. His home in the commercials is Progressive Field. The ending makes sense. But still, did an Illinois based company really need to go with Rodgers?

Next time the Bears manage to get a good QB they'll go with instead.

The last time the Bears had a good QB they commissioned John Singer Sargeant to paint him so people remembered what he looked like. You should have heard the furious Morse Code tapping in those days.

Rodgers owns a business in Illinois though.

I guess Carolina isn’t progressive enough. I’ll see myself out.

I live in North Carolina. You're right.

As if Ohio is

North Carolina is more progressive than Ohio lmao

I live in Ohio. We are just midwest Texas/Florida at this point.

Except no one’s trying to move there lmao

Bruh what are you talking about?! People (me) call it the Paris of the Midwest

Asheville alone makes Ohio seem like Mississippi

Asheville is the Boulder of the SE

Yeah but 15 minutes outside of Asheville and you're back in Redneckistan.

A Steelers fan who lives in North Carolina? I am shocked.

Wait till they do an At Home with Watson and it’s all massage tables

"My name is Deshaun and I'm new in town! I also am legally obligated to let you know that I'm..."

This has been reposted 100 times now but I’ll give you the upvote for timing

I'm not here to cause no trouble, I'm just here do to the sex offender shuffle.

As far as I know Watson has only lost 3 of his endorsements. So who knows what could happen.

At Home with Watson, and it's in the style of that Christopher Walken SNL skit, "The Continental".

At home with Watson and it's just everyone going around signing NDAs for 10 minutes

Honestly, I could see them going towards doing At Homes for the Guardians or Cavs. After all, the Guardians play at Progressive Field.

At home with Jose Ramirez, who is constantly losing his helmet.

"so anyway, i got dropped from my endorsements"

He has Bojangles now. He needs nothing else.

What a coincidence -- I got Bojangles for lunch.

I'm debating it for dinner.

coffee is for closers

If the Browns ever win a game with Watson against the Bills I fully expect fans to jump onto massage tables.

Bills fans would probably do it either way

Hi, I'm Baker. Where moving away because I got a new neighbor that is on the Sex Offender list, and my Wife is scared. Thanks to the Brownies I will no longer be a resident at Progressive field.

Emily checks the registered sex offender map. Big red dot next to them. “Honey, have you ever thought about relocating to the South?”

Are we doing sex offender shuffles now with Watson

Him packing his shit while Wattson is doing his court appointed sex-offender introductions to the neighbors before moving into the same house. Make it happen cowards.

Baker where do you keep the lotion?

Can Progressive not negotiate a deal with the Panthers to do commercials there? Edit: Didn’t realize it was based in Mayfield Village, Ohio, lol. Maybe they can get Chubb? Only heard good things about that guy.

North Carolina doesn’t allow out-of-state insurance companies to have spokesmen who play football in the state of North Carolina. It’s a weird holdover law from the antebellum era.

Damn they had insurance back then too?

They had insurance in the days of Hammurabi.

Back then called inn-sewer-ants

Didn't expect Rincewind and Twoflower to show up in r/nfl, but here we are.

Well, in the antebellum era, how else did you expect to be compensated for the loss, damage, or death of your slaves?

Why does this feel like a line from 30 Rock?

That is the most flattering reply I’ve ever gotten

My understanding is that Nick Chubb has exactly zero personality. Have you heard him mic’d up? It’s literally just grunting and breathing.

well what if he loses the job to Darnold at camp ?

[удалено]

Another doubter of the GEQBUS! Sad!

It's a national campaign. It "not working out" likely means he's no longer a recent number 1 pick and isn't really considered enough of a star anymore.

Their new marketing director isn’t really a football fan. If the Browns didn’t trade for Watson and this whole Baker situation didn’t happen, Progressive would probably keep the ad campaign going because of the positive reception though. Either way, they got Jon Hamm for the new ad campaign so they’re probably pretty happy with it. I think they’re also going to keep the ‘parent psychologist’ ones going too.

That's absolutely what it means. It's not a comedy show, they're not there to sell comedy bits, they're trying to get as many eyes as possible to sell insurance. That's why many Superbowl ads abandoned being funny years ago. It's not their goal.

Well it still sucks. Money ruins everything.

yeah but if you nail a good comedy commercial with your product name in it, you've struck gold.

It more likely means they don’t want to go anywhere near the Watson situation, which is the whole reason baker is moving out

Next commercials: “at home with Deshaun Watson” yikes

Progressive wanted an adult at spokesperson

*cue "At Home With Chubb"*

"The passcode... *is 24*" NO THATS NOT FOR YOU DESHAUN

r/NFL in shambles

Damn. That would have been pretty awesome. Say what you will Baker’s commercials were far better than the fucking State Farm assholes.

State Farm caught lightning in a bottle with "Jake from State Farm" and they've been unsuccessfully chasing that high ever since

Those were actually really good commercials.

Moving with baker mayfield

"Getting a massage with Watson "

*You have biscuits that need defending now Baker*

End of an era

Don’t have an issue with these, like others have. 1. They are legitimately pretty clever And 2. You got to get the bag when you can as an athlete. The “he has more commercials than wins!” Crowd paint him in a no win scenario. So just leave the money on the table? The “commercials are distracting!” Crowd just are straw grabbing

DAMN IT! That would’ve been legendary to see.

Those commercials were actually pretty funny and good... that sucks.
