I really do, they're fun.

If someone made a show using the animation style and characters from the commercials I would definitely watch it.

No kidding. We need a good humor spy cartoon for older people. At the very least, among insurance-turned-pro shows, it ought to do better than Cavemen.

Aren't the E-surance commercials basically like Kim Possible with grown-ups? I haven't seen much of that show, but it seemed pretty similar.

Basically. I'd kill for more Western animation for the 29+ age group that's not satirical in any way.

That was my thought as well, Matt. And since I already watch Kim Possible, it was just more fun for me.

That's what I thought.

IMO, the graphic design and animation style work very well for short subjects like commercials (they're some of the few commercials I'll actually watch), but would not be as good for a longer show.

I've seen Kim Possible and the animation is very similar and works great as an ongoing show. The E-surance would be wonderful as a show merely because the storyuboarding is very cool and the animation is clean and very smooth. I like it a lot.

I find the esurance commercials amateurish and boring.

So there.
