her facial expressions really sell it. it took me a while to figure out why the father took out the hearing aids at the end of the commercial. then i noticed the door closing in the backround. huh, after the look the daughter gave the boyfriend i reckoned on him not being able to use the “condors” he brought. there are many layers to this commercial, none of them having to do with hearing aids. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > This Progressive commercial, where Dr. Rick is trying to help people not turn into their parents. I love the Dr. Rick commercials. Seriously, _Un-Becoming Your Parents_ should be a real book—the world needs it. “Who else reads books about submarines?” “My dad?” “Yeah.” ---

I’d like to know what’s wrong with reading books about submarines. **The Hunt for Red October** is a great novel! ---

That’s funny, because the first time I saw that commercial, I thought, “Uh oh—no more Tom Clancy for me.” However, upon closer inspection, I _think_ the “submarine book” the guy is reading is a WWII history book, which is closer to what my generation would consider a “dad book.” ---

My dad’s a WW2 vet. His favorite book? _Hunt For Red October._ So for me, it’s clearly a Dad Book… ---
