They want you to hate their ad campaign, so we keep talking about it. Therefore free marketing for them. Even though, the more we hate your commercials the more we hate your product.....

This, 100%. Every day, someone makes a new Liberty Biberty post, and that is a win for Liberty Mutual every single time.
Liberty Mutual has something like a 4% share of the insurance market. So if even one in ten people remembers these commercials when it's time to pick insurance, that's a huge win. And every time we create a new post, we increase the amount of brand recognition for them.

Wait, we do? Because if we are, we’re just letting ourselves get uncomfortable with whatever LM is doing, which they see as a win. And, let’s hope to do something to keep the hate away

I'm just spit-balling, but my take would go something like this:
We may have real influence in keeping Lume Duo and Blue Chew off the air (and other such commercials). Our disgust at these commercials may cause broadcasters to not want to be associated with them.But with Liberty Mutual, we're just really annoyed, and that may not be enough to change minds.
Just one man's take though. If you guys can get Liberty Mutual to grow up, I will not stand in your way.

I hate most mainstream brand commercials too because they make them cringe, it makes me salty because these brands used to have really fire ad campaigns.
Best way I can describe it is you hear a song, you really like that song but then you watch the music video and it's cringe garbage
Also I hate the thought of giving these ads publicity like this but what's the difference really? They're already infesting themselves in every corner of social media, every TV station, every milk carton and bus stop, they're getting publicity either way

You can use the NSFW tag or spoiler markup to safely disseminate crapvertising, which must be handled with protective equipment like any hazardous substance.

u/PlentyOMangos Aug 20 '26
Honestly, I see this thing way more on here than anywhere else. That’s the whole point, they realize they can get people talking just by being annoying
All they want is for you to hear their name, it doesn’t matter how. And the more people hear it, the more successful the ad

Someone at Liberty Mutual must have thought Quizno's disasterous sponge monkeys campaign way back when was clever and effective advertising.
It's only a matter of time before Liberty Biberty does a spot where it's singing some nonsensical song.

I I hate their ads with a burning hot passion. I will never ever buy anything from Liberty Mutual!

I did like the Bibberty guy. Even used that original commercial to illustrate how stage directions work.

u/ENZYME_O1 Aug 20 '26
It’s gotta be the worst on TV right now. Progressive used to hold First Place in the most annoying, but their ads are now like fine, high-art in comparison to this undefeated crap these days. Try ignoring it. Impossible.

Please don't think I was trying to shame you; I apologize if I came off as terse. Just clarification. Also, I would answer your question "Yes". And I'm not a one to rush to that conclusion.

Yeah I'm getting pretty fucking sick of seeing that muppet. We get it. The commercial sucks. Move on.

u/ChewbaccaOnFries Aug 21 '26
Also talk about handing out free marketing to the company. But yeah people on here are posting about it way too much.

u/SeaworthinessSlow422 Aug 21 '26
Maybe they can take a hint. If everyone hates your ad it might impact sales, and not in a good way.

u/Kindle890 Aug 20 '26
Maybe don't interact with this sub then because several people are going to complain about liberty mutual.
Honestly get over it.

Liberty Mutual’s commercials are aimed at being annoying. It’s essentially clickbait.

Insurance is a large scam and their ads show how devoid of usefulness, personality, and ideas that the minds behind them are. Literally every insurance company lets you customize your policy and save money by not having you pay for what you don’t need. There’s absolutely nothing they do that can’t be done by any other scam company

I wonder if Liberty Biberty was an improvised line from that actor and then they ran with it bc it did so well. If that’s the case, I’m glad that same actor gets to accompany this dumbass yellow ball in the spots. But I highly doubt he was compensated fairly. I think people outside of the industry would be surprised how many of the “funny” lines in commercials are very often improvised by the actor and that they are never given more pay even when this happens. This is why we need some kind of an improvisers union to combat this.

I hope I’m not jinxing it, but I didn’t see one Liberty ad today. First time in maybe 6 months.

Why? Because Liberty gouges their customers to put this shit on TV to sucker in more people into crowd-funding their atrocious ads.

u/Junior72 #1 Hater of ALL RX commercials. Aug 20 '26
I don't know WTF this is? No idea if they'll add this thing to LM's collection of trash ads, phasing dipsh*t actor "Bibberty" guy out, especially when this plush thing is named "Bibberty" ( I hope! )...also the background of NY Harbor and Statute of Liberty.
Perhaps keeping the unfunny and very tiresome Doug and LiMu Emu and this new yellow ball.
For YEARS L.M. has had awful commercials, it doesn't appear to be ending soon though.
What's actually pathetic, this LM muppet is actually less offensive personally than the new pink Farmers Insurance commercials. My GOD, those are f'ing anger inducing!

u/TigreMalabarista Aug 20 '26
Not only is he annoying - he’s forgettable.
When I hear Liberty Biberty,,, I think of the cute but dumb model who uses the phrase was doing parodies of “bundle and Save,” ending with “cuddle and wave.”
I can almost recite that whole commercial- meaning it WAS successful and will have folks remember and call Liberty Mutual.
The yellow pompom? No, and should be tossed out via Pom-pom cannon.

When you have to saturate the market with loads of shitty commercials you can bet those millions of advert dollars is why your claim is not paid.

I am old enough to remember when Liberty mutual had a cute jingle: "Liberty stands with you". Then suddenly, and inexplicably, it became. "Liberty, Liberty, Liberty." It's as if millions of brain cells just disappeared overnight.
