at least something happens in these. The performances of J.B. Smoove and Halle Barry are more watchable as are the production values. The spots are different enough unlike the Verizon retail approach.

The State Farm commercials (Arron Rodgers) are worse than those. The AT&T commercials are as bad as Verizon. One favorable note about Verizon -- I don't think they'll last long. It's a limited promotion, viewers hate them, and though McKinnon did it for easy money, she won't repeat the mistake. That's my prediction, for what it's worth.
