I've never met a black Jake. They need to make it Jamal from State Farm.

you want diversity, great. Come up with something original.

I assure you there is a black guy named Jake that worked at State Farm before. Jesus Christ, more reveals who you are if you flip out on Jake from State Farm being black.

I think the new one spells his name "Jayk".

Maybe he’s just a better actor. Why does it matter?

Whitey Jake has recently gone the way of most other whitey actors in commercials. Out of work!

Lol, what? Two lines of dialogue are said and the original Jake from State Farm is in the commercial with the new one.

Maybe that’s why the original jake didn’t get more than two lines.

ETA If they wanted to make their own Flo type character and the original guy was a shitty actor, why not replace him with someone who’s better?

I don't think I'd have a problem with Jake being black if they hadn't taken a good commercial (with the "She's a guy, so..." line) and downgraded it to super unfunny. Does anybody else audibly groan like I do when black Jake starts listing the clothes he's wearing on the phone? It's pathetic.

It doesn't matter what color he is the "new Jake from State Farm" commercials would be eye-rollers if he was Asian, hispanic, albino, whatever.
