"Like a good neighbor, stay over there” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. The saying is a parody of the State Farm insurance jingle, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”

“Like a good neighbor, stay over there. #WordOfAdvice” was posted on Twitter by JayQue on June 14, 2011. The saying most likely originated from an image.
