Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark continues to entertain fans on and off the court.

After an impressive first year in the WNBA that saw her win Rookie of the Year, Clark has had quite an eventful offseason. She recently participated in the LPGA Women's Leadership Summit, and then she paired up with world No. 1 Nelly Korda and golf legend Annika Sorenstam in The ANNIKA pro-am.

More recently, it was also revealed that she's going to be the featured guest at the upcoming 2025 Women's Sports Awards in Kansas City.

Amid all that, Clark also found some time to shoot an ad with State Farm, which dropped on Wednesday. Sure enough, the commercial quickly trended online, as fans were left in stitches with the comical nature of the video.

The new State Farm ad highlighted Clark's fun-loving nature. Titled "Rookie Move," the commercial features the Fever guard along with ESPN reporter Cassidy Hubbarth, as they try to help a young man who damaged his garage door.

Of course the popular character Jake from State Farm also made an appearance.

What stood out to fans, however, was the references in the ad. For one, it showed Clark swinging a golf club. As fans would know, the Fever playmaker has been really active in the sport this offseason and even joked after their playoff exit that she would try to become a pro golfer.

Furthermore, Clark also pulled up a chair and said "The stories that I could tell ya…" as she appeared ready to talk about her rookie year. This moment was clearly in reference to the famous Jason Momoa chair meme.

"Timely references, comedic elements, message sent…10/10 ad," a commenter said.

"The chair pop out really does it," another one wrote.

A social media user added, "This is hilarious, we need more commercials with the stories!"

"CC is really comfortable with acting now. Superb ads," a supporter further stated.

A fifth fan added, "Omg the Oscar’s are callinggggg."

It's definitely quite a memorable commercial from Caitlin Clark. Luckily for fans, with the Fever star and State Farm engaged in a long-term partnership, there will definitely be more ads and events from them.
