We all know someone like this guy. We may even be a little more like him than we care to admit.
In the latest Facebook campaign for Progressive, Arnold Worldwide looks to “break through the News Feed clutter” by throwing a harsh spotlight on “Baby Man”, a dude who resembles more than a few of our friends…in that he still doesn’t pay for his own car insurance.
In case you’re still wondering what a Facebook video campaign looks like, there’s vomit involved:
More spots after the jump.
Seems the “man” in question is just as annoying at the office:
…and again:
SPOILER: he’s both odious and gassy.
The campaign is well-tailored to our Facebook feeds, which closely resemble its unholy mashup of immature adults and clueless babies who will almost certainly uncover the evidence in ten years and use it as a signal for the rebellion to begin.
The actor also happens to look about 35–a fact that, frankly, hits even closer to home.
On the other hand, he definitely doesn’t live in New York.
