Farmer's Insurance Peter Strzok Joke Ad

We've all read Peter Strzok's messages to his paramour FBI lawyer where he refers to an insurance policy. Well, how about a Farmer's Insurance ad, featuring the current campaign where that abusive band teacher (J.K. Simmons won an Oscar for playing that role, in the movie Whiplash.) shows people around their museum of wacky insurance oddities (the key term here is 'oddities', because these ads claim these claims were covered, and that's just not the insurance industry I'm familiar with...). Only this time, J. K. Simmons says to his guest, Peter Strzok, who is shopping for an insurance policy against Donald Trump becoming president: "An orange Julius Caesar." Then we see a flashback to election night, and Trump's supporters are cheering and jumping up and down, and Hillary Clinton's supporters are crying at the Javitz Center, ad then we see a picture of the Inauguration flash by, and other wacky assorted oddities from Trump's presidency. Then we cut back to Simmons and Strzok, and we see Simmons point to a bright orange sculpture of an extremely gauche-looking Donald Trump with a crown on and smiling, and Simmons says: "We know a lot 'cause we've covered a lot." Strzok replies: "You've covered that? That's the exact insurance policy I'm looking for! How did you know?"

Here are a couple of examples of the current Farmer's Insurance ad campaign:
