BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAKE FROM STATE FARM

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Dude isn't an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick

Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"

libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.

Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better

Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"
