What I love is that while Doug started ranting about how much he hated Jake, I left for 15 minutes and came back to see Jake plastered all over the screen and Doug yelling about how much he wanted to have intercourse with him
As a guy named Jake, the amount of times I have been asked “what are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?” I have had my name stolen by a corporation That said, my wife and I went as Flo and Jake for Halloween
Non-American - who is Flo? The only famous 'Flo' I know of is 'Aunt Flo' and, well... y'know what, actually; _props to your wife_ if she went as that! Now that I think about it, that'd be the PERFECT Halloween costume! All blood everywhere, and for a really appropriate character reason too! I wonder if anyone has ever done that?
@@MononymousM another insurance company, Progressive, has a….mascot? Character I guess you’d say named Flo who is kind of a quirky, fun character that fits the same role as Jake from State Farm, i.e. a pretend employee of the company they are advertising for.
Doug’s personality is honestly weighing him down. I feel like he could really expand his career if he capitalized more on the fact that his name was Doug.
My favorite thing about Doug is it doesn't matter what he's doing, he can always turn it into genuinely good content with his creative use of editing and his trusty sidekick twitch chat. It's like watching a buddy movie and it works.
@@onlysmiles4949 That's a brilliant analysis. When you look at it like that, the entire channel is set up like a classic two-man comedy act, with Doug playing the Straight Man to Chat. Even though Chat is less "a person" and more "a cesspool of gibbering, primordial chaos," Chat still ends up playing the role of "the character that opposes Doug" - which is fascinating now that I see it. Thanks for pointing that out!
I commented this before on the VOD but I'll say it again: I will forever laugh at the thought of Doug angrily pacing in his own room seething at the illogical existence of Jake from State Farm.
The irony is that the original jake from state farm was actually just a random dude named jake who worked at state farm they replaced him with an actor to not violate his privacy but also because they wanted to cash in on nastalgia
You do know that the "original Jake" was probably a character actor who does other commercialals or background in film and tv. Not just "a random dude named Jake"
@@Tores444 His name is Jake Stone. He really was a State Farm employee. He appeared in another of their commercials as a cameo but the company didn't want to go forward with him as a full time representative. You can find interviews with him.
@@Tores444 No its not rumored. The story is that they decided to have one of their own employees for a role in a commercial, and Jake just happened to be the one who they chose. He was straight up just one of their people who worked in their call center that they had for this ad.
Dude I didn’t even know the was supposed to be the same Jake. Like, they claim it’s not but clearly that was the bit. That’s how divorced from anything these are.
@ahiowehfiowjit nah bc that's not even the issue. They got a 20 something year old chipper guy, when the joke was it was some 40 year old civil servant with no passion for his job. They COULD have got like Hannibal Burress or some other balding older black dude, but they didn't. The issue is not as simple as wanting to be more diverse, thats a slippery slope that's way more at home with Instagram comment sections, and I genuinely hope that's not what you specifically mean
Flo would 'yes and' in the situations she was set up in and they would become funny, but it feels like Jake just tries to dissolve them by just going "I'm just Jake"
@@daymuntaku6590 I never found Flo funny, it was more her brand of crazy was arousing. The later ones once they start adding more characters it is like a mildly interesting TV show but those early ones.
The irony is that completely divorcing (lol) an element of a joke from the context that makes it funny and just persisting in that one, completely isolated element that is only funny if you know the missing context is EXACTLY the kind of humor that Doug’s chat loves.
@@onlysmiles4949 1000% true. They love gaslighting him into believing that something is or isn't happening and his reactions are hilarious, like how they gaslit him how they love Jake
But the difference is that Doug and chat tend to actually expand on that element of the joke and insert it in new contexts instead of presenting it on its own. It's not just "haha this guy's name is Jake", it's more like "Hello, we're the police, have you seen this man? His name is Jake and he's wanted for commiting quadruple homicide", if that makes any sense.
Only Doug could rant for hours and hours about an insurance mascot and somehow get to the point where there is a town crier who runs through to warn you of Jake’s approach. I’m in fucking stitches.
I think Jake is supposed to be a blank-template neighbor character so that the audience could find State Farm familiar and approachable. Unfortunately, that means all creative freedom with the character must exist within his gimmick - his name. ALSO: because his name is so generic, you have to refer to him as "Jake from State Farm" - which is ludicrously good free promotion.
after watching like 10 jake from state farm ads the bit is one of these in each one of the ads 1) Everyone loves this normal ass guy who just happens to really like state farm 2) Hes for some reason a giant celebrity in their weird universe and by saying basically anything 3) Hes like the guy who leads the State farm advertising and either tries to get people to advertise state farm cause of his celebrity status or is straight up directing an ad
Now Doug has to one random day randomly hire an actor who starts the stream with "Hi, I'm Doug" and then sits there and does nothing for the whole stream. I'm now expecting it.
Doug should have some sort of Minecraft gizmo pushing the character around slowly, and occasionally a sign will appear saying 'hi I'm a sign, and your watching Doug'
Doug mentioned how stupid it would be if he was to be randomly replaced with just another random dude name Doug. But I can totally see that being a video in the future.
The concept of a guy named Jake is incredible, the concept of a guy named Doug doesn't hit the same though. If instead Doug did an entire stream that's just Chair sitting in front of the camera, now THAT would be great. The concept of a Chair (named Chair) is even better than the concept of a guy named Jake
Eh. Idk. I still don't think it's that cool. It feels really tacky, if anything. He's basically just a sticker they can slap on to more recognizable names by having him in frame, like they do with the Patrick Mahomes ads
@@raimarulightningHonestly it’s so divorced from the original Jake from Statefarm I didn’t even realize it was meant to be a spoof on it.

Brick and mortor state farm buildings have like 8 foot tall cardboard cut outs of Jake in their lobby. Right infront of the window. You know how scary that shit is when you pass by after hours?
We have a similar kind of overused advert here in the UK. It’s for a comparison site called ‘Go Compare’ and for about 13 years we’ve had to endure an irritating opera singer shouting ‘go compare’. They eventually killed him off but some sick individuals decided they’d bring him back

What a great video. I like the part where Doug from the channel DougDoug showed up and said "Hi, I'm Doug from DougDoug!" before handing the stream over to Jake from State Farm, my favorite insurance mascot.
I miss old Jake. He was just some guy which is why it was funny. He was just some random dad bod having office worker. Now we got this toned jock guy. Justice for jake
Or at least tried to find someone who looked similar if they couldn't get OG Jake back. Half the humor of that commercial was that Jake looked like Just Some Guy, completely average, nothing overly attractive about him, being mistaken for a sex hotline. The humor of it gets completely thrown away once you make Jake conventionally attractive 😔
I understand why they didn’t bring back the og Jake cause he was just some guy who actually worked for state farm, not an actor or anything. I do however agree with what other people are saying with bringing someone who is either similar looking or someone who gives off the same vibe
This is absolutely classic DougDoug content. I couldn't have cared less about the original topic of the video, but after a photoshopped scrolling image and a town criar warning of the coming of Jake, I was absolutely dying with laughter.
I once had an idea for a State Farm commercial that went like this. Two guys are running from a killer, they get to a locked door and they won’t be able to open it before he gets them, so one of the guys takes a swallow and says “like a good neighbour State Farm is there.” And the state farm guy appears says his stick and the guy just mournfully says “I’m so sorry.” And before the state farm guy can react the killer drags him away and the two guys get away from the killer.
Oh yeah.The State Farm commercials used to have the slogan summon a State Farm Agent to help the 'characters' get out of problems. A few of those commercials were really funny. Nice idea!
So what I learned from this rant is that... Doug should really be replaced by Jake from state farm, Twitch Chat really deserves a creator that's comfortable with their name and is willing to let everyone know about it.
I relate to this kind of petty anger about random things way too much. I'll explain it in depth, I'll explain where I'm coming from, and they still don't get why I think it's so stupid, and that just makes me angrier. And the cycle continues.
Wow. This video saved me from one of the darkest moments of my life. I fully agree with you Doug! Jake from Jake farm is one of the best Jake farmers ever and you should Jake from state farm
ngl it would be hilarious if a random dude named "doug" took over your stream for a day and he tried to gaslight chat into thinking he was the original doug
It is pretty insane to think that he was the original Jake and now this guy comes in and now is even going to be in a super bowl ad with popular actors
Honestly I appreciate your take on this because I completely forgot about the original commercial. It was totally diluted by the new Jake and just him being a State Farm employee named Jake.
I had surgery a couple days ago and it doesn't exactly feel great when I laugh, but I sincerely couldn't help it when that last Jake image came through.
I think the idea was that Jake in the original commercial was in an absurd situation about being questioned if he was a mistress. And so State Farm went all in on Jake being in absurd situations as the straight man. But the commercials are too short to capitalize on the humor a straight man can provide
this stream was the best, jake from state farm appearing every five mins combined with skyrim booting up, chat playing mario party at the same time doug is playing zelda. hardest i have ever laughed at a stream
Ohn god i can somewhat understand this. It's so rare for a company to make an advertisement that is genuinely funny or charming in some way. Which makes it just infuriating when they try to cash in on it, but completely miss the part that made it good.
There's a State Farm location that has a cardboard cutout of him in the window and it always scares me when I walk by there and spot him in my peripheral. Also they had a booth at a local art fair and they brought the cutout. It got me then too
Hilarious because the insane dedication to the bit this community has would lead to people (acting as if they were) loving some guy named Doug just taking over and just being a guy named Doug.
You know, this rant is on point and kinda highlights how a lot of stuff sucks lately. It really seems like corporations think people like IPs because people just like the IP, with no regard for context or execution. You can see it in adaptations, sequels, minecraft, so many places. Things get boiled down to empty fanservice. A video essay on how bethesda doesn't understand what fallout was about comes to mind.
It's the "I know that reference" culture that's become quite pervasive. People like things when they know the thing. That's all it needs to be too. Laugh because its the thing you know. Edit: the fact that I almost typed "I understood that reference" is *really funny*
This is a problem I run into a lot. Explaining why something is boring through metaphor is impossible because every comparison that can be created is more interesting.
weirdly enough, I am jubilant that someone has finally brought this up. State Farm butchered the legacy of one of the best commercials of the modern day. This rant, along with everything Billy Mays related he has done, i feel like we need to hear more commercial related things from Doug
Y'know, Jake just being the most basic man possible could actually work. Imagine State Farm commercials that lean into Jake just being Jake. Like, there's an earthquake and everyone is paniking then Jake comes in and the earthquake just stops. Everyone is congratulating him and he's just like "guys I didn't do anything, I'm just Jake".
Gotta agree with you. It was such a weird move to replace the original Jake, who was an actual State Farm employee. He flew to Cali to get an audition and nailed it so why did they replace him by this guy? The new Jake is so monotone and the ads are boring as hell. The name ''Jake'' really did become his whole personality...
omg... Thank you for this rant. I have been against Jake from State Farm since its 2nd commercial.. when they changed to an actor and started making it a brand. Actor/Brand Jake from Statefarm is among my most hated beings on this earth.
As someone who put this vod on while I slept and would every once in awhile and half pay attention I am very glad to know that seeing Harold slowly come onto screen and all of that Jake stuff was actually real I didn't remember it happened until the first time I saw the Herald and then in a flash it came back to me. Strangely enough I had no real reaction to it I just sort of saw what was happening and was like yeah it's Doug Doug it was normal
The only upside to the commercials is that I can immediately identify when I'm talking to an American online because they simply cannot resist asking if I'm from State farm. That or Jake Paul. I'm not sure which is worse.
As an Insurance Producer for StateFarm, we've gotten small cardboard cut outs of Jake for our desks. Clients have asked if they could take it with them... and they did, and we've had to order more because people keep taking them. I am not joking.
Personally, my favorite part about this channel is that it features a man named Doug. Sorta sounds like dog. really cool. Unfortunately the channel name implies there are 3 dougs, but only one : (
The funniest part for me is that i dont even know what state farm is, i have no clue what they're advertising but i do know that their mascot is called Jake
THANK YOU. I thought I was the only person bothered by this. State Farm's current marketing team clearly has no idea what made the original ad funny, and they're saturating the airwaves with this Jake character who is completely nothing on his own, outside the context of the original.
This video reminded me of the time my father went on a rant about how unrealistic a Daisy Sour Cream ad was because "who the hell wants to dollop a daisy around a table???" Good times
Oh holy shit, I am not being facetious here, this video addressed my depression today. I am giddy and giggling at remembering the town center and Jake the Monster

Nah bro it's that the new Jake is actually named Fake and the J replaced the F.
I mean, Doug's name is in his title _twice._ That's, right there, is confidence.
I relate to this kind of petty anger about random things way too much. I'll explain it in depth, I'll explain where I'm coming from, and they still don't get why I think it's so stupid, and that just makes me angrier. And the cycle continues.
Wow. This video saved me from one of the darkest moments of my life. I fully agree with you Doug! Jake from Jake farm is one of the best Jake farmers ever and you should Jake from state farm
Were you Jake from state farm
I loved it when Jake said ”it’s farming time” and he farmed all over the State Farm
Imagine how trapped poor Jake must feel. His entire identity is tied to state farm.
ngl it would be hilarious if a random dude named "doug" took over your stream for a day and he tried to gaslight chat into thinking he was the original doug
It is pretty insane to think that he was the original Jake and now this guy comes in and now is even going to be in a super bowl ad with popular actors
Honestly I appreciate your take on this because I completely forgot about the original commercial. It was totally diluted by the new Jake and just him being a State Farm employee named Jake.
Oh hey Doug, I didn't see you there.. honestly the main reason I'm subbed to DougDougDoug is to see the other two Dougs.
I love opinions on shit that absolutely does not matter in the slightest
Honestly I respect Doug Doug for having a second channel to upload the most random shit without worrying how it will affect his views and ad revenue
I actually dislike the current state farm commercials. The OG "Jake from State Farm" commercial will always triumph.
My name is Jake… I constantly get called Jake from State Farm… that original commercial is the bane of my existence
I feel you
I had surgery a couple days ago and it doesn't exactly feel great when I laugh, but I sincerely couldn't help it when that last Jake image came through.
You felt that literally and metaphorically when the Jake is Coming!! Guy showed up
I think the idea was that Jake in the original commercial was in an absurd situation about being questioned if he was a mistress. And so State Farm went all in on Jake being in absurd situations as the straight man. But the commercials are too short to capitalize on the humor a straight man can provide
as a European who's never heard of State farm, Jake from State farm is my favorite character in all of fiction
this stream was the best, jake from state farm appearing every five mins combined with skyrim booting up, chat playing mario party at the same time doug is playing zelda. hardest i have ever laughed at a stream
The modern jake from State Farm sits on a throne of lies.
This was one of the most funny and entertaining rants I have ever herd keep up the good work doug
Honestly, probably my favorite DougDoug stream ever.
...probably my favorite stream from anyone ever.
I'm european by the way, and have never in my life heard about Jake from State Farm, which honestly makes this far funnier than it already is
TrueTrue
I started watching dougs twitch like a week after he steamed this so i missed 🥹
SAME
@@playlikepig0550 that is hilarious 😭😭😭
Ohn god i can somewhat understand this. It's so rare for a company to make an advertisement that is genuinely funny or charming in some way. Which makes it just infuriating when they try to cash in on it, but completely miss the part that made it good.
There's a State Farm location that has a cardboard cutout of him in the window and it always scares me when I walk by there and spot him in my peripheral.
Also they had a booth at a local art fair and they brought the cutout. It got me then too
You know what you must do.
Hilarious because the insane dedication to the bit this community has would lead to people (acting as if they were) loving some guy named Doug just taking over and just being a guy named Doug.
Doug's streams are just so unhinged and unique, I love them so much.
I laughed way too hard at "Quick, chat, what's 1920 times 10 GO! ... -big pause- ... oh wait, that's the easiest math ever hahahaohh shit!" 6:35
I would say Flo from Progressive is one of the longest mascots for a company, especially since she's also from an insurance company
Longest mascot is definitely cereal or like Mickey mouse
I wouldn't say she's very long at all, she's only around 5'6"
You know, this rant is on point and kinda highlights how a lot of stuff sucks lately. It really seems like corporations think people like IPs because people just like the IP, with no regard for context or execution. You can see it in adaptations, sequels, minecraft, so many places. Things get boiled down to empty fanservice. A video essay on how bethesda doesn't understand what fallout was about comes to mind.
I never thought this would get made into a video! This was such a weird stream to be a part of
This is exactly the reason I watch Doug so much. There's just something special about his rants.
I remember this stream so well, I was laughing so much when Jake was covering the screen mid way through the Zelda gameplay
The funniest fucking thing about this rant is the fact that he KEPT getting passionate about it over the course of several hours
It's the "I know that reference" culture that's become quite pervasive. People like things when they know the thing. That's all it needs to be too. Laugh because its the thing you know.
Edit: the fact that I almost typed "I understood that reference" is *really funny*
I comprehended that allusion
This is a problem I run into a lot. Explaining why something is boring through metaphor is impossible because every comparison that can be created is more interesting.
my favorite state farm commercial is when jake from state farm appeared and said "its jakeing time" and jaked all over the place
This is why I love Doug, he goes on 30 minute rants about the smallest issues and it becomes part of the vid/stream
4 hour rants*
@@onlysmiles4949 my point still stands
"I've called this new Slurpee 'The Jake'"
I don't think I want to slurp Jake
weirdly enough, I am jubilant that someone has finally brought this up. State Farm butchered the legacy of one of the best commercials of the modern day. This rant, along with everything Billy Mays related he has done, i feel like we need to hear more commercial related things from Doug
I'm worried about Jake, the original Jake. Did he know too much?
Y'know, Jake just being the most basic man possible could actually work. Imagine State Farm commercials that lean into Jake just being Jake. Like, there's an earthquake and everyone is paniking then Jake comes in and the earthquake just stops. Everyone is congratulating him and he's just like "guys I didn't do anything, I'm just Jake".
Gotta agree with you. It was such a weird move to replace the original Jake, who was an actual State Farm employee. He flew to Cali to get an audition and nailed it so why did they replace him by this guy? The new Jake is so monotone and the ads are boring as hell. The name ''Jake'' really did become his whole personality...
I like that he has to ask multiple times that he’s not wrong or crazy
I completely zoned out while watching this, but I really like this Doug person. His name is Doug! That's so cool!
Idk y, but I LOST it at the "put a Jake is coming warning" bit
omg... Thank you for this rant. I have been against Jake from State Farm since its 2nd commercial.. when they changed to an actor and started making it a brand. Actor/Brand Jake from Statefarm is among my most hated beings on this earth.
I think this was a clever State Farm ad hidden in the rant
Bro these editors need a raise
Man it's stuff like this that makes Doug such an amazing streamer, so much chaos
As someone who put this vod on while I slept and would every once in awhile and half pay attention I am very glad to know that seeing Harold slowly come onto screen and all of that Jake stuff was actually real I didn't remember it happened until the first time I saw the Herald and then in a flash it came back to me. Strangely enough I had no real reaction to it I just sort of saw what was happening and was like yeah it's Doug Doug it was normal
The only upside to the commercials is that I can immediately identify when I'm talking to an American online because they simply cannot resist asking if I'm from State farm.
That or Jake Paul. I'm not sure which is worse.
The craziest thing is it's a different Jake from the original commercial!
As an Insurance Producer for StateFarm, we've gotten small cardboard cut outs of Jake for our desks. Clients have asked if they could take it with them... and they did, and we've had to order more because people keep taking them. I am not joking.
Personally, my favorite part about this channel is that it features a man named Doug. Sorta sounds like dog. really cool. Unfortunately the channel name implies there are 3 dougs, but only one : (
The funniest part for me is that i dont even know what state farm is, i have no clue what they're advertising but i do know that their mascot is called Jake
how could Doug hate me so much when my name is Jake?
ITS JAKE
State farm should train all of their employees to introduce themselves as Jake when speaking to customers.
THANK YOU. I thought I was the only person bothered by this. State Farm's current marketing team clearly has no idea what made the original ad funny, and they're saturating the airwaves with this Jake character who is completely nothing on his own, outside the context of the original.
Ngl the edit to add the little guy warning of Jake's arrival made me laugh so hard I couldn't breath xD
Im pretty sure in a year or two Doug will see the name "Jake" in the chat and this rant will happen again. Like some sort of anti-Jake sleeper agent.
This video reminded me of the time my father went on a rant about how unrealistic a Daisy Sour Cream ad was because "who the hell wants to dollop a daisy around a table???" Good times
I just found out the actors name isn’t even Jake, it’s Kevin
"Let's pretend you like my stuff."
Oh holy shit, I am not being facetious here, this video addressed my depression today. I am giddy and giggling at remembering the town center and Jake the Monster
Good to know im not alone and that we all have our midnight sessions pacing and ranting about Jake from State Farm.
Jake from State Farm is to commercials as Kirito is to SAO. It’s all appealing to male fantasy.
I am so glad you made this into a video. I have legit watched this VOD twice through because it makes me cry laugh 😂
