According to a follow-up interview in 2014, Jake had quit his part-time job at State Farm and become a seasonal employee for the town of Normal, Ill. He also worked as a bartender at a place called Pub II. He would still get recognized, but admitted that life hadn't changed that much for him.
They could've at least kept the "well she's a guy, so...". That part was hilarious, but people are too PC these days so I guess someone complained that it was "transphobic".
No? I mean,you could be right. But I thought the reason why they skipped that joke is so they could better transition into New!Jake asking Old!Jake if the khakis question is normal. I don't think its becuase of Gen Z,it more seems like its because they wanted to make a different joke
Old Jake giving new Jake pointers and he lost weight! Good for you jake. They have the Jake from the original commercial in this one he's the one that says "Uuuuuh yea"
The True Dark Soul Listen bitch they reuse the entirety of the old commercial solely to add in a new Jake; no one wanted this and everyone’s upset about it. Jake being in the background doesn’t change that a black guy stole his role. Stop with your dishonesty and fuck off.
@@Dorkeydaze it was clearly supposed to be like a aha moment when it wasnt who you expectes as they still have the guy in a role so it wasn't a job lost just another one made
They cant "keep" the old Jake, he isn't a product, he was a state farm worker, he quit working at state farm so he won't do ads for them anymore, but he went and did this one as a goodbye, now they got a new guy not named Jake who can work full time.
The second Jake is a bit more Attractive, but he's less funny. If they wanted to bring the black guy aboard at least they could have used new material for the script and gave him a new name and kept the old Jake as well. Original is better and if it's not broke don't fix it. I'm black and I like the original better. Color doesn't make it no better. It's the quality of presentation and acting that counts.

@@colinpeek3246 jake is deep faked. They were trying desperately to make this commercial fun like the old one but couldn't because they sucked all the fun out of it so as not to offend
I can definitely understand changing from old Jake from State Farm to this very friendly man so that they improve the 'mascot' of the company, but I really wish they came up with an original commercial. And they even cut the funny part out of it. There's no denying that having this super charismatic and new Jake would be a great face for the company, I just wish they didn't take away the glory from the old Jake. Also, for those that point out "Old Jake from State Farm is there, he's in the next cubicle! They just both have the same name, that's all", I just want to point out how much of an inconvenience it would be for both of them to go by the same name. One would have to use a nickname to avoid confusion, and typically the worker who has been there the longest sticks with the original name.
The actor who played OG Jake from state farm is actually in the new commercial. OG Jake pokes his head out of his cubicle to answer New Jake’s question. He may not be Jake from State Farm anymore, but he’s still being a good neighbor.
I feel it's missing something... the deliverance of the punchline was what made it funny. The first actor's delayed and confused reaction just seems so natural in comparison. The other guy doesn't have the same feeling in my opinion; if you want to replace the original Jake, than that's fine, but please don't use the same actors from 10 years ago. I understand that they can't recreate the entire commerical, but it also would've made it so much better for the first part to have been remade with different actors playing the role. It wouldn't of been that hard in budget, it's just setting up the same scene (with different characters mind you)and going from there. Overall, the homage seems rather dull in comparison. It was nice either way to see the put the effort though. I'm also happy to see they included the original Jake from the commerical as a side character, he almost seemed like a different person from the weight difference. Good for him!
Hey for all those worried that they replaced Jake from State Farm in a pandering attempt, I have some good news. The original Jake from State Farm was an actual agent who won a contest to be in the commercial. He was not an actual actor and did not want to appear in more commercials. Thus the company hired a new actor to play Jake in further commercials. However, they are not passing him off as the same Jake, and have confirmed that he is a different character who just also happens to be named Jake. Otherwise, it would be a little weird that he was talking to the original Jake in this commercial. You heard me right, that is the other agent he talks to is the original Jake!
Did they ever explain why they thought we found a guy named Jake funny because his name was Jake? And you know, not the commercial being hilarious and his name just happened to be Jake? I hate the new commercials it’s just some guy! Why does everyone in commercial land know and love this random dude??
"Well, she's a guy, so," was the reason that commercial was so loved, and of course they remove it thinking people would love it the same as they used to.
Not a thing , i Hate the way Even The MOVIE OVERBOARD has been Remade , ! UGH Why must they Change and take away All the classics ? Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Is a Perfect Example ! ,,, the way i see it is they want to keep feeding us the same things Remade because it's TOO Hard to use the Imagination to come up with something New so fool people with remakes like they did something. ,, to me all they did was DISAPPOINT ME .
Negative they had to replace it because of the LGBTQ community. You can't say "she sounds ugly" and respond with "well she's a guy" because the transgenders get upset. Don't put that on my people ✊🏿
@@deoxysoverlord8710 Nostalgia shouldn't be a driving force in genuine creativity for a new commercial to promote your company. If anything it holds you back and makes you look so incompetent to the point the viewers think you're too stupid to make another hit commerical that will be honored for another decade. Your points and your profile can gobble on my balls you barrel.
I think the whole reason they put old jake in the end of the version they don’t show anymore is so people can say “he’s on the end of the unshorted version”. it’s blackwashing. They intentionally changed his race to seem progressive. You can say “he’s still there” till your blue in the face, doesn’t change the fact they did the same commercial part for part and made the mc black.
@@sammark123 bothers me, the first was funny with the wife all mad and the dude letting her know how ridiculous she sounds. the second just doesnt hit the same, especially with dude explaining what he really wearing. the first jake sounding confused as to whats happening is what made the commercial
THE MOST DISRESPECT OF MY LIFE!!!!! THE OLD MAIN CHARACTER HAD A LONGER PAUSE BETWEEN THE "UHHH, KHAKIS" WHICH BUILD THE AWKWARDNESS BETWEEN HIM AND KAREN WHICH MADE IT REALLY FUNNY. THE NEW MAIN CHARACTER NOT ONLY RUSHES HIS LINES BUT HE TRIES TO ADD ON TO THE ICONIC "UHHH, KHAKIS" BY DESCRIBING THE REST OF HIS DRIP................ MORAL OF THE STORY I SWITCHED TO ALLSTATE. (PS. I KNOW THERE JUST ACTORS AND IT WAS THE CORPORATIONS DECISION TO MAKE THE CHANGE SO GET OFF ME) (UWU)/
The explanation for their need to switch actors was so pathetic “Rather than use the State Farm employee who had originated the role, however, the company opted to find a new Jake - a process that took weeks of deliberation. The company didn’t deliberately seek a person of color for the role, but rather someone with “high likability,” says Harbert. Miles “had a vibe that was young yet practical.”
The original jake doesn't even work for state farm anymore and isn't an actor, he has a cameo in this but I doubt he wants to be the face of a company like Jake has become.
@@TheLegitMindya cus I’m sure he passed up the offer to make tens of thousands of dollars in royalties to go be a bartender. Let’s be real, they told him they were recasting it and to fall in line so he did.
Hilarious how in the new ad, the original Jake answers "uhh yeah." to the new Jake asking him if customers ask what they wear, because the original Jake has gone through that already in the first ad.
When I was a kid my family named our dog Jake. When we went to the vets always called him Jake from State Farm we thought it was cute so we decided to make his full name Jake From State Farm. Our next visit the vets were pleasantly surprised when they found out that his actual name was Jake From State Farm.
I know right? It is almost as if they re-used the ols footage, which would further begs the question, "Just WHY in the world did they have to add a character?" I mean replace.
The entire commercial is the same, they only added a black Jake because they're WOKE now. So when you say they delivered the lines the same way, it's cause it is the ORIGINAL commercial, just added a black 'star' because State Farm is a huge liberal, progressive crap company
@Jimmy Gibbsit's true what they say about all you folks: Liberalism IS a mental disorder. The original Jake, "quit"! Like the Sonic guys "quit" after all the BLM looting and riots. Now State Farm is portraying the "black Jake" as accepting unlawful gratuities (Quid pro quo) for giving people a special perceived discount in EVERY commercial he's in. So is State Farm making Jake to be unethical and immoral getting all these "freebies" because he's black?? If you're too blinded with TDS to see the 'inclusion' in every commercial on tv today, then I feel bad for you. Take your blinders off and watch tv for an hour and look at the commercials. It's Hollywood Propaganda, pushing the liberal agenda down the throat of Americans..... somewhat subliminally.
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4523 I get it. You're mad that the new Jake is handsome and like a superhero. (His power is irresistible likability!) It's alright. Watching the scales getting balanced and actors on tv being something other than white must be incredibly frightening for you. Bless your heart. It's okay. He won't hurt you, buddy. "BLM looting and riots." Unlike that lawful display of civil disobedience at the Capitol in D.C. a few weeks ago. Bless your heart. If liberalism is a mental disorder, call me crazy. Black Jake Forever!!!
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4523 I mean what is the difference to see more POC on our TV we are all human beings for God sake . No one is taking nobody jobs!!!!
I liked the old one I don’t get why they made the new one the same as the old one instead of making a new version.....like I don’t get why some companies can’t leave some things the way they were.
The new Jake misses the entire point of the original. The whole point of Jake is that he's nothing special. By making him some kind of mascot they ignored the original intention of Jake, an average State Farm employee smh.
I always feel bad for the new actors cast in remakes, same with new cast members on broadway. There’s something about originals that people remember and you just can’t top them.
During the heat of the pandemic I expected State Farm to make this commercial but when the wife asks "what are you wearing Jake from state farm?" they'd cut to Jake working from home and he'd say "uhh pajamas"... Such a missed opportunity.
They had to get rid of the “hideous” and “she’s a he” parts because it was insensitive. I’m assuming, but that’s the only logical reason they would have changed this icon commercial that everyone would talk about or quote or meme.
The reason hes talking to Jake at 3 am is because hes been on hold since 12 noon and finally got a person

It was nice either way to see the put the effort though. I'm also happy to see they included the original Jake from the commerical as a side character, he almost seemed like a different person from the weight difference.
Good for him!

Whitewash
They cut out ‘ she sounds hideous’…marketing people just suck they killed the punch line.
its a commercial dude
Deliverance????? Deliverance??????
So brave of Jake to have race reassignment surgery.
Pazuzu Ritter Michael Jackson did it first
Looks likes Jake from State Farm pulled a reverse Michael Jackson.
Lol😂
*Instert funny Michael Jackson heeh heh here*
Uncle Ruckus knows that feeling
@@BoredAndSleepy-or2di XD
Hey for all those worried that they replaced Jake from State Farm in a pandering attempt, I have some good news. The original Jake from State Farm was an actual agent who won a contest to be in the commercial. He was not an actual actor and did not want to appear in more commercials. Thus the company hired a new actor to play Jake in further commercials. However, they are not passing him off as the same Jake, and have confirmed that he is a different character who just also happens to be named Jake. Otherwise, it would be a little weird that he was talking to the original Jake in this commercial. You heard me right, that is the other agent he talks to is the original Jake!
He also happens to talk to the same exact people who say the same exact thing or are they "different characters" too?
State farm lore
@@Kunlxo The guy that says "Uh yeah" in the new one is the og jake from state farm. so i think they are both Jake from state farm
Did they ever explain why they thought we found a guy named Jake funny because his name was Jake? And you know, not the commercial being hilarious and his name just happened to be Jake?
I hate the new commercials it’s just some guy! Why does everyone in commercial land know and love this random dude??
@@mukilandhinesh3931no he's just black pandering version. They also left out the last line so it doesn't offend the psycho men pretending to be women
"Well, she's a guy, so," was the reason that commercial was so loved, and of course they remove it thinking people would love it the same as they used to.
Why did they change the white character to a black character???
And why did they remove the line...."she sounds hideous"???
Because of diversity and subversive reasons.
oh well whats wrong with the black one the white one is in the background
Honestly, having a black guy doesn’t really change anything. It is kinda sad that they took out the punchline though.
Because 2020
It’s people like you that cause racism
Everyone: Old Jake is better
Snowflakes: What do you have against black people?
Nothing against black people but they leave the same skit and just change Jake to black its just moronic
SJW crap is back again
point me to the comment that asked
Not a thing , i Hate the way Even The MOVIE OVERBOARD has been Remade , ! UGH Why must they Change and take away All the classics ? Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Is a Perfect Example ! ,,, the way i see it is they want to keep feeding us the same things Remade because it's TOO Hard to use the Imagination to come up with something New so fool people with remakes like they did something. ,, to me all they did was DISAPPOINT ME .
The better way to represent minorities is... I dunno?
MAKE SOMETHING ORIGINAL WITH THEM?
Looking back at this is nostalgic especially seeing the old jake drone State Farm I saw that commercial a lot as a kid pretty nostalgic
The issue I have with this is why would they change it? The old commercial was a pop culture reference and now they are beating a dead horse. Smh
Because they can...
Its good advertising if everyone is talking about it. Duh! Not only good but brilliant!
Wendell Fouts that’s a really good point I didn’t even think about that! lol
I heard the original actor that played Jake died because his wife killed him.
Whitney L. he’s literally behind the desk
So they had to throw in a token black guy someone probably complained and thought the original was racist
Negative they had to replace it because of the LGBTQ community. You can't say "she sounds ugly" and respond with "well she's a guy" because the transgenders get upset. Don't put that on my people ✊🏿
Dark Knight thanks for the clarification. I also through it was some racial shenanigans
Vezor Jake is still there dude, He’s the one that says “Uh yea” there two jakes
954Made just because he’s still there doesn’t mean anything. The old commercial was fine
Mayday Malone If anything It worked, because it has y’all debating about a fictional character lol more views
It's one thing to remake this commercial with a new Jake, but to keep the old skit?? Such a dumb thing to do.
macaroni cheese they actually didn’t replace him because when the new Jake asked if they ask what your wearing the old Jake answers
Not really. It's nostalgic, and they didn't want to change it up too much. Or else it would just be like a Diary of A Wimpy Kid reboot.
Deoxysoverlord “It’s nostalgic and they didn’t want to change it up a bit” So they’re unoriginal in other words.
@@deoxysoverlord8710 Nostalgia shouldn't be a driving force in genuine creativity for a new commercial to promote your company. If anything it holds you back and makes you look so incompetent to the point the viewers think you're too stupid to make another hit commerical that will be honored for another decade.
Your points and your profile can gobble on my balls you barrel.
Also , No One Forgot The Original Jake . Even with a New Skit We Would have been like WTF
Jake vs Jayquan
Suave_Stefawn yep they should of named him that. SMH
@@alastair_the_lyon that's.. racist?? because he's black he can't be named Jake? He has to have an entirely new name because of his demographic? Bruh.
The Soda Merchant when the fuck did I say that was racist? I’m saying that why the hell did he change him black? Not that it’s racist!??
@@alastair_the_lyon You are being racist. They didn't CHANGE him black. He's a different person. The old Jake is at the end.
I think the whole reason they put old jake in the end of the version they don’t show anymore is so people can say “he’s on the end of the unshorted version”. it’s blackwashing. They intentionally changed his race to seem progressive. You can say “he’s still there” till your blue in the face, doesn’t change the fact they did the same commercial part for part and made the mc black.
I thought I was tripping off the Mandela effect
“What are you wearing, ‘Jake from Statefarm?’” >:(
“Uhhh....khakis?”
This will forever be the best line in commercial history.
I still say this whenever I say uhhh and i have to respond
So simple but iconic. Even I chuckle and say "uuhh khakis.." whenever I wear my khakis 🤣
Bring the old Jake from State Farm back. That commercial is still referenced in my house a decade later. No one give a shit about the new guy
It’s like a reboot of a movie.
the original, me: that’s pretty good😂.
The reboot, me: you ruined it.
The next time you disrespect my profile picture your in deep trouble
@@justkeepscrolling3304 your profile picture looks gæ

I guess "Shaquan from State Farm" doesn't have the same ring to it.
Oof,
big ol not funny.
But I guess you cannot "say she's a he" without hurting anyone's feelings anymore.
Yea, that sucks.
Does the change bother you?
@@sammark123 bothers me, the first was funny with the wife all mad and the dude letting her know how ridiculous she sounds. the second just doesnt hit the same, especially with dude explaining what he really wearing. the first jake sounding confused as to whats happening is what made the commercial
@@sammark123 deeply.
@@aaronmendoza277 If the commercial effects you so bad then please evaluate your life choices.
If they didn’t change him to black the community probably would’ve thought it was racist
I am sick to death of the new " politically correct " Jake from statefarm
It’s a commercial lol
@@a14rmdaview40
Yeah but it's everywhere... Even in commercials..
shut up
@@a14rmdaview40 really?..ok..I'm so sick of the Politically correct black Jake from state farm "commercial.
joe bloggs you’re sick of a commercial because a black person is in it?
THE MOST DISRESPECT OF MY LIFE!!!!! THE OLD MAIN CHARACTER HAD A LONGER PAUSE BETWEEN THE "UHHH, KHAKIS" WHICH BUILD THE AWKWARDNESS BETWEEN HIM AND KAREN WHICH MADE IT REALLY FUNNY. THE NEW MAIN CHARACTER NOT ONLY RUSHES HIS LINES BUT HE TRIES TO ADD ON TO THE ICONIC "UHHH, KHAKIS" BY DESCRIBING THE REST OF HIS DRIP................ MORAL OF THE STORY I SWITCHED TO ALLSTATE. (PS. I KNOW THERE JUST ACTORS AND IT WAS THE CORPORATIONS DECISION TO MAKE THE CHANGE SO GET OFF ME) (UWU)/
This guy gets it, this used to be my favorite commercial now it sucks
You do realize that the old guy is sitting in the cubicle next to the new guy right?
You make a good point but put the letters in undercase PLEASE.
@@sweetnsour3693 YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT BUT PUT THE LETTERS IN UNDERCASE please
@@sweetnsour3693 undercase......... lowercase
"Well she sounds hideous"
Why did they change it
The old one just has that 2000's vibe fr
The new Jake is actually alright, but this forced diversity nonsense is pathetic.
Who said it is forced diversity smh?
@Herbie true
Forced how?
Yup
The originals girl killed him, it’s not for diversity it was out of respect for the family
I'm black myself and I was used to the white actor.
2020
Are you kidding me?
It’s kinda cool bc the old jake is in the back telling new jake what to do ✌️
The way things should be
The explanation for their need to switch actors was so pathetic “Rather than use the State Farm employee who had originated the role, however, the company opted to find a new Jake - a process that took weeks of deliberation. The company didn’t deliberately seek a person of color for the role, but rather someone with “high likability,” says Harbert. Miles “had a vibe that was young yet practical.”
The original jake doesn't even work for state farm anymore and isn't an actor, he has a cameo in this but I doubt he wants to be the face of a company like Jake has become.
Surely…noooothing to do with race.
How much of a no life loser do you have to be to care this much about the raceswap of a character in a commercial 😂😂😂
@@TheLegitMindya cus I’m sure he passed up the offer to make tens of thousands of dollars in royalties to go be a bartender. Let’s be real, they told him they were recasting it and to fall in line so he did.
How could they change it
The ad was legendary
Hilarious how in the new ad, the original Jake answers "uhh yeah." to the new Jake asking him if customers ask what they wear, because the original Jake has gone through that already in the first ad.
Water is wet

Yt people are salty af. The old yt jake is still there, he is the one new jake is talking to. Move aside, we taking over.
Damon Wiilis Bruh this is the Internet 💀. No matter what you will tell people, they will continue to be salty.
I won’t buy State Farm...ever! Jake has turned black after joining State Farm, so I might get darker if I elect to get their coverage.
Honestly the first should've stayed instead of trying to be "inclusive"
Jake wasn’t replaced he was promoted 😂 he’s in the back when new Jake asks if the callers always ask what they were wearing. 😂
Why is his cubicle smaller then huh?? Huh? Answer that!!!
@@rudeboymon3177 The cubicles are legit the same size tho, you just can't see the new jacks cubicle size cause of the camera view....
*Old Jake from State farm will still be in our hearts.* ✊
I’m so miffed. You can’t just replace Jake from State Farm and expect to get away with it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now i get it, they're ALL Jake from State Farm 🤣
What are you wearing "Jake from StateFarm?"
"Uhhhhh, Jordans?"
Ha!
🤣
When I was a kid my family named our dog Jake. When we went to the vets always called him Jake from State Farm we thought it was cute so we decided to make his full name Jake From State Farm. Our next visit the vets were pleasantly surprised when they found out that his actual name was Jake From State Farm.
I’m super impressed that the husband and wife delivered their lines exactly the same like ten years later😂
I know right? It is almost as if they re-used the ols footage, which would further begs the question, "Just WHY in the world did they have to add a character?"
I mean replace.
The entire commercial is the same, they only added a black Jake because they're WOKE now. So when you say they delivered the lines the same way, it's cause it is the ORIGINAL commercial, just added a black 'star' because State Farm is a huge liberal, progressive crap company
@Jimmy Gibbsit's true what they say about all you folks: Liberalism IS a mental disorder. The original Jake, "quit"! Like the Sonic guys "quit" after all the BLM looting and riots. Now State Farm is portraying the "black Jake" as accepting unlawful gratuities (Quid pro quo) for giving people a special perceived discount in EVERY commercial he's in. So is State Farm making Jake to be unethical and immoral getting all these "freebies" because he's black??
If you're too blinded with TDS to see the 'inclusion' in every commercial on tv today, then I feel bad for you. Take your blinders off and watch tv for an hour and look at the commercials. It's Hollywood Propaganda, pushing the liberal agenda down the throat of Americans..... somewhat subliminally.
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4523 I get it. You're mad that the new Jake is handsome and like a superhero. (His power is irresistible likability!) It's alright. Watching the scales getting balanced and actors on tv being something other than white must be incredibly frightening for you. Bless your heart. It's okay. He won't hurt you, buddy.
"BLM looting and riots." Unlike that lawful display of civil disobedience at the Capitol in D.C. a few weeks ago. Bless your heart.
If liberalism is a mental disorder, call me crazy.
Black Jake Forever!!!
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4523 I mean what is the difference to see more POC on our TV we are all human beings for God sake . No one is taking nobody jobs!!!!
“I’m not racist, but...”
The old was better
The old was better
"...the asian guy in the next cubical was better."
Old is very better
I liked the old one I don’t get why they made the new one the same as the old one instead of making a new version.....like I don’t get why some companies can’t leave some things the way they were.
Look at how they massacred my boy.
Stalinist America. They erased their old commercial to rewrite people’s perception of reality lmao
ISIS did it, so can statefarm!
People have such low attention spams mate since they're obsessed with their phones. It easy to subvert and demoralize people in America.
I see the old Jake in the cubicle next to him
mfers will hire a new person and yall compare it to isis bruh
I don't think it's intentionally that deep bro
The new Jake misses the entire point of the original. The whole point of Jake is that he's nothing special. By making him some kind of mascot they ignored the original intention of Jake, an average State Farm employee smh.
#notmyjakefromstatefarm
Old jake is in the bg in the new one
I always feel bad for the new actors cast in remakes, same with new cast members on broadway. There’s something about originals that people remember and you just can’t top them.
Lol I came all the way here to make sure I wasn’t tripping 😂
During the heat of the pandemic I expected State Farm to make this commercial but when the wife asks "what are you wearing Jake from state farm?" they'd cut to Jake working from home and he'd say "uhh pajamas"... Such a missed opportunity.
They had to get rid of the “hideous” and “she’s a he” parts because it was insensitive. I’m assuming, but that’s the only logical reason they would have changed this icon commercial that everyone would talk about or quote or meme.
It wasn’t insensitive, it was funny. The change to new Jake was to appeal to black people
It’s not even a logical reason though. I hope future generations kill off my snowflake generation I really do
Hobo The Henry I think they also did it because some trans people for offended, but I’ve only heard that from people
