Remember Roger? Last time we met, he wanted to sell you a car,
and he wasn't interested in playing any games to make that happen.
Because you need a car, and you're going to have to buy it from
somebody, so it may as well be Roger. Well, now he's back, and this time
he wants to sell you some insurance.
Thing is, selling insurance sounds a lot like selling cars.
While most people pretty much need a car to survive, those same people
are legally obligated to carry insurance in order to drive that car. And
that means Rog – sorry, Roger – doesn't really need to mince words in
this satirical video, either. So, instead, our good friend dons a cape
and acts like the insurance-selling hero that he clearly is. And if you
don't like it, well, too bad. You need to buy insurance anyway. Because,
as Roger says, "If you don't buy it, you're doing a crime."
As before, Roger is in reality just an actor. So is the little girl, and
so is the CGI hamster. This is the second video in the "Honest Ads"
series created by
Cracked that we've shared, and both of them
are equal parts funny and sad... because they're true. You're going to
pay a bunch of money for insurance over the course of your life, and
'you may get some of it back, depending on what happened' at some point
in the future, under what will most likely be terrible circumstances.
It's a fact of life. So, you may as well stop fretting about it and
watch the video above. If you can't fix the system, why not at least
laugh at it?
