My anger burns for this "Flo" character and her Progressive commercials ... so much so, that my children flee the room when they are on.
Why, you ask? Well, she is unattractive (I think she knows this, surely she does absent some vision problem) and unfunny (this seems yet to be realized). Plus, the entire ad campaign by "Progressive" Insurance is, indeed, progressive ... boyfriends buying insurance together, metrosexuals quaking in Flo's presence, one doughboy confiding that his mommy doesn't let him drive ... incompetent males (are there any other kind?) all the way around ... don't you love the little twerp who is rebuked by Flo for getting too excited/agreeing with her?
This is the way Progressive Insurance sees the world. The company is run by leftists. For kicks, google up "Peter Lewis," the chairman of Progressive. Nice fella, and a big fan of the ACLU and hard-left politics.
Intelligence-insulting ... unfunny ... unattractive ... that's Progressive, alright.

Whoa, DUDE... How about some kind of warning! The old ticker has been tested!
I haven't seen a proboscis like that since Sig94's mug shots were published on Smoking Gun.
I have acquaintances who will testify that Progressive Insurance is less than user-friendly when it comes paying claims. Me? I'm sticking with my all-purpose Protection Policy through the Mostaccioli Brothers.
BTW, I didn't realize her name was Flo. I thought the name tag was just a warning.
Try Googling that GEICO gecko. You'll discover a disconcerting history of bestiality.
Progressive is also one of the worst insurers out there. As the left usually is, they are cutthroat. The people they insure usually have no other option. In other words, they exist because of a government mandate, and profit hugely and parasitically from it. Their commercials are, in essence, paid for by an unfunded mandate. Put the government in anything and guess what you get? What could go wrong?
Peter Lewis is also a good friend of George Soros. That's why I hate those ads.
Those charges were dropped! Ahhh, well reduced. After all was said and done, she really was over sixteen and the monkey was already dead when I got there. I'll never go on a blind date with DC again!
I start with a nice, straightforward diatribe against an unattractive, leftist woman, and we get to ... dead monkeys. Having the Dagos in blogging is about as dangerous as the Leftists in the insurance business.
Don't get me wrong. I never said that I didn't have a good time, DC.
BTW, Nickie tried to shake me down over those hideous B&W cop pictures but I refused to buy his collection of Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis VHS tapes. Two minutes of that and you exceed the USDA recommended maximum exposure to airborne smaltz.
I'm with ya DC and sig94 has me rotflmao.
Nikki,
I mute her first then channel surf. Keep the remote ‘close at hand’ to prevent a seizure.
Thank you.
The "male idiocy" trope is trotted out in way too many ads these days. Women are smart, kids are smart, pets are smart, but men are dupes; and that idea is supposed to get us to buy stuff?
The hair looks like she styles it with Wesson Oil, th eyes look psychotic, the enormous nose comes straight off an anteater, the toothy grin reminds me of Secretariat coming across the finish line.
That's just from looking at the picture, since we don't watch TV I'm spared the actual commercials.
You guys must have strong stomachs.
Sub, you are killing me with the Secretariat comment. Yes, that is where I have seen her before. But that was so long ago. Who knew that she had escaped the glue factory?
As for TV, just beware of her if your cave is ever wired.
Probiscus? I thought that was when the water came up on the sides of the test tube/beaker ... or was that a famous thoroghbred? Wait, that was Sea Meniscus.
A rose by any other name ...
or is it a "nose" by any other name?
The Prog commercials are chilling and creepy.
"Logan's Run" comes to mind.
Toast, you are so on fire ... you are burned ... but in a good way.
Yes, the little miscreant with the man-purse is quite a nice representation of the way the left would like us to be. Good luck with that.
We're all missing the obvious here ... "Progressive" Insurance. That says a lot in that name.
You guys over-think stuff way too much. These commercials are just a bit of humor, and not in any way are they references to "America's problem with metrosexuals" or whatever other crap you mentioned. If you can find hate in something like a mindless commercial, then your life must suck. Find something else to hate and stop blogging your first-world problems. Why don't you apply water directly to the burn I just gave you? Laters.
