Once ''The Simpsons'' was "going steadily" and Azaria had enough money to live on, he stopped working on commercials as he found them "demoralizing", feeling that he sounded sarcastic whenever he read for them. When recording the part of "Jell-O Man" for a [[Jell-O]] commercial, he was told to make the voice he offered "more likable and friendly so that children like him." After pointing out that "Jell-O Man" was a fictional character, he left and pledged to never record for an advertisement again.<ref name=freshair/> However, in 2012 he voiced several insects in a commercial for the [[Chevrolet Aveo|Chevrolet Sonic]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.4-traders.com/GENERAL-MOTORS-COMPANY-6873535/news/GENERAL-MOTORS-COMPANY-Chevrolet-to-Debut-Five-Ads-on-Super-Bowl-Sunday-14001918/ |title=General Motors Company : Chevrolet to Debut Five Ads on Super Bowl Sunday |date=February 2, 2012 |publisher=4-traders}}</ref>
