Devoted to the Insurance industry and all thing related

I came across a ridiculously over the top Eagleman Insurance commercial on YouTube.  I’m not from Chicago but apparently if you lived in there in the early 90’s you were privy to some “quality” entertainment.  

The following video is the original Eagle Man auto insurance commercial from 1993 that captivated Chicagoans and even won a “Fool of The Year” award at the grand opening of Chicago’s Nobel Fool Theater” according to Wikipedia.  Watch and enjoy the humor of the illustrious Eagleman.

 

The laying of the egg was by far the most absurd part of the entire commercial.  Where they attempting to be outrageous so that they would garner a following?  The ploy certainly worked as this commercial has been shown on David Letterman and even as far as a BBC TV program.  To my delight I found there are actually more commercials so I’l be posting them over the next few days.  

Just in case you’re curious the company behind Eagle Man, Eagle Insurance, is still in business.
