State Farm
——Mater's self-spun version of the classic State Farm jingle (Cars 2, 2011)
State Farm Insurance is an American insurance conglomerate offering private financial services.[1] The company has participated in multiple cross-promotional campaigns with Disney•Pixar in support of the Cars films. In addition to commercial adverts incorporating original Pixar animation, they have offered limited-edition Cars prizes and products.[2]
In-universe
The commercials depict State Farm as an agent-based insurance company, much like the real world. The 2006 advert features a brick building (implied to be a business front), beside the fictionalized Cars film premiere (to which Mater and Lightning McQueen are in attendance). Meanwhile, the 2011 version shows many employed pitties, in addition to spokesperson Sara Safestreet.
The car-ified State Farm likely retains the same jingle as in the real world, as Mater sings a self-spun variation of it in a Cars 2 scene, prompted when spies Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell mention the word "agent."

Commercials
Trivia
- The 2011 advertisement shows some animals as vehicles. It shows that birds are mini-planes, snakes are mini-trains, and hamsters are mini micro-cars. The mini-trains appear to be based on vintage tinplate O Gauge model trains.
