I think the last several Progressive Insurance ads with Flo have been awful. Time for Flo to go.
We pharmacists loathe prescription drug advertising under the best of circumstances, whatever they may be.
I have noticed that they’re really pushing Humira for psoriatic arthritis, and I think I know why. Rush finally made it on the cover of the Rolling Stone 
and the article mentioned that guitarist Alex Lifeson “takes injections for psoriatic arthritis”. Naturally, I wondered what he takes, and I’ll just bet it’s this.
Really, do you think your rheumatologist doesn’t know about this? :rolleyes: 
I also give him kudos for doing 3-hour shows despite being 61 years old and having this terrible disease.
Her sister just had a baby.
You may have seen a recent Progressive commercial that centers on a Goofy Male Progressive Rep, with Flo coming in only at the end. No doubt they are polling to see what the reaction to Goofy Male Rep is (as a potential replacement for Flo).
Of course it’s probably standard practice, these days, to make sure no commercial spokesperson has a chance to see themselves as indispensable. That helps keep the contract negotiations from reaching uncomfortably (for the corporation) high figures.
Hey now … someday somebody’s gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye. Don’t make it weird.
That one’s almost as bad as the one where she plays various members of her family.
Brad was probably a dick anyway.
Where’s your wife Todd?
Love this one. Game night. Yay.
Do travel websites go to a special terrible commercial ad agency? First there was the creepy Trivago guy. Unshaven, rumpled and molest-y looking, he lurks in hotel room corners waiting for your unsuspecting ass. And now Trip Adviser has the various animals exclaiming Book It! in weird and creepy voices. These commercials make me want to stay home and lock my doors.
That Boston terrier that says “Book” sounds like it has something stuck in its throat.
And if you have your TV or sound system set for something other than the default audio profile, it can sound a bit demonic. :eek:
x100. Some of worst crap ever. And how they’ve gotten away for so long with making misleading claims, I’ll never know (but shudder to think).
another one i can’t stand is for the Fixit-Stick, where the twink weasel claims it “works like a vacuum cleaner”.
Watching the Titans game on NFL Replay, there’s an ad for the I-Phone 7 showing an old man doing a tower dive. It’s OK the first time, way too long the 2nd through nth times, but most ads are like that. What’s stupid is that he first cranks up some dramatic bullfight music on his I-phone, then places it in a puddle of water, then does his dramatic dive, which splashes more water on his phone.
I gather that what you’re supposed to learn from this ad is that the I-Phone is waterproof, and has great internal speakers.
Except that right at the end, there’s this disclaimer (written in the usual small type that you could never even read before HDTV): “Liquid damage not covered under warranty. Music dramatized.”
In other words, he could have done the same thing with a 50-year-old rotary phone. Or a moldy slice of bread, for that matter.
