I’d have never guessed. Nature has been kind to her. She is stunning (and much more so outside of the not-unpleasant but schticky Flo get-up).
She might. But she can’t have him. 'Cause he’s gonna be with me…
When I saw this commercial I was like “Looks like the kids from Christine were able to put all that unpleasantness behind them.”
Then I remembered that Artie was killed, so… gay. Definitely gay. 
Maybe everyone’s “gaydar” is going off because they’re both gay, but they’re not a couple. Just two gay guys who are friends.
I don’t see it as gay or at least I don’t see them as a couple. It comes across to me as two friends, one of whom seems to be a bit of a jerk.
I saw this spot in passing and didn’t really even pick up on what the back-and-forth with the watch was all about. I’ve not seen it since that initial viewing.
Still, my immediate thought was that this was two gay guys, and that this was a pretty adventurous thing for Progressive to do. Seeing the spot as quickly as I did and not giving it my full attention, I didn’t render a judgment as to whether they were a couple or not.
The Gay Commercial Investigator is on it!
Heheh! That guy’s pretty funny…
I’m finding myself agreeing with the assessment that the two are gay, but not a couple. The plausible denial by the Progressive rep in the other article makes me wonder if they’re just fronting with, well, plausible deniability. There’s no way in hell that rainbow T gets through wardrobe unless it’s intentional. Maybe some gay ad designers sold the idea to some straight execs as a Joey/Chandler dynamic and the clueless straight execs believed it…? Nah, it had to be very deliberately planned.
They could be dating but not cohabiting.
I had a girlfriend once whom I bought some stuff from because she was needed the money but didn’t want a loan or gift.
Are those Sonic guys gay? I never thought about it but now I wonder if I’m missing the signs.
Considering the fact that the two of them live in that car it’s highly likely. Then again it’s not very easy to have sex in a car.
I agree, but somehow bazillions of couples have managed to overcome the difficulties.
But I admit, it’s easier when you’re alone.
They’re gay, I thought, but it’s not a terribly healthy or equal relationship. Sell your boyfriend back his watch, for chrissake!
I go with intentionally gay, but set up for plausible deniability, just in case.
I’m voting for intentionally ambiguous so that it will appeal to gays without appearing to do so.
I don’t know about the “characters,” but the actors are stark raving flaming.
I was conceived in a VW Bug! (Really!)
My gaydar is pretty good (I’m a hetero female, but still). I say gay, and as far as the ‘buying the watch’ thing, it seems like a couple teasing one another.
I know one time, my hubby and I got into a totally fake argument in the supermarket over whether or not he could buy donuts. He put them in the cart. I took them out and put them back on the shelf, saying “You will not buy donuts!” He knew I was just playing and put them back.
Within a few minutes of this little game (which we still play sometimes), several people in the aisle were looking at us suspiciously, and it occurred to me that they thought we were really fighting.
That’s what I think is going on here. Typical settled couple, ‘play’ arguing over something completely silly.
You know what I just realized? Those Cinnamon Toast Crunch characters are gay! Just look at the way they’re shamelessly having tongue sex with each other! Not to mention the way they lick each other and eat each other!
Gay. The blonde dude as well, look at the way he stands at the beginning, look at the way he holds his wrist.
