I saw this Esurance television ad the other day, where the character Alan (played by actor Aaron Takahashi) is definitely playing the stereotypical geeky software developer role compared to his more attractive colleague Brenda. I do find it funny that Alan responds to his other colleague with the line, “Nick is smoking hot.” In a previous commercial earlier this year, Esurance had a female developer who was much less geeky looking.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
