Every other insurance company's commercials are, to varying degrees, okay by virtue of being not nearly as terrible. I actually rank the "Becoming Your Parents" line one of the lesser annoying, although they're WAY overplayed. But then, they all are. Allstate's are fairly consistently better than the others, IMHO.
