I absolutely despise this piece of ad trash. Horrible. Makes me want to dig my ears out with a spoon.

No, I'm too lazy. Imagine it yourself.

I hate ALL Progressive commercials!

Anyone see the one where Flo is at someone's house...I hate that one even more!

If it was me, I'd say...Hey Flo, how the f**k did you get in our house uninvited?

I hate to say it..but  i think the flo hand puppet may actually be hotter than FLO

she is a spokesperson who has about as much sex appeal as a turnip

which I am sure has been calculated and explains her MASSIVE appeal

If I caught my wife with a Flo hand puppet and talking to it,I'd be looking for a Divorce Lawyer. Or better yet,an Annullment Lawyer if we haven't been married for at least a year.

I guess the Puppet Flo is better than the Creepy talking box from Progressive.

Oh sweet mother of pearl...

I hope I never ever EVER see this commercial again!

The "nailed it" was bad enough the first time why make us suffer through this $%&# a second time? Go away Progressive! Far far away until you change your commercials

Why does October feel like a lifetime ago?
http://www.commercialsihate.com/progressivehand-puppet-video_topic19622_post297546.html

Anyway, I have no idea why they keep airing this piece of garbage, total whackjob talking to her hand. I think they wanted the kiddies to start usin "Nailed It" as a cool saying (ex. "Swag", "Like a Boss," and other moronic sayings) After 3 months, nope..it didn't work.

For the love of god...will you GO AWAY Flo?! You've had your 15 minutes of fame (...I meant 7 years) now let's let someone like a REAL spokesperson take over Progressive. 
Progressive has been airing Flo all day long. Hand puppet, that Charades commercial, the creepy dummy, the after-school special love one, and the "piece of cake" 15-second ad. ENOUGH!

I don't see how her stupid hand puppet is anything like Flo. Doesn't sound like her, the stupid "nailed it" tagline she says twice isn't a tagline Flo says that I know about. Then again, I don't know why I'm bitching about something not being "Flo" enough since I'm not all that fond of Flo either, lol.




She was mildly amusing in an old (Esurance?) commercial, but that's about it.

I had to look that up.  Well, I didn't have to; I wanted to.  I wanted to confirm my suspicions that this is some teen sitcom, as you reference teen sitcoms a lot.  And yes, it is.  But I kind of expected it to be one from the 80s, considering your preference for such.  I was wrong on that count.  It's current.

Why are you watching sitcoms targeted at 12 y/o girls?  You're a 39 y/o male without kids, aren't you?  At least if it was to leer at adolescent girls, it'd be sick, but I'd get it.  But it seems you watch them for the actual stories.  That, I don't get.  ShockedLOL








I have no idea what "I didn't do it" is??

Thor. Please check what I posted a few minutes ago in the Title Max thread. There is at least one CIH poster who has problems separating fantasy from reality.

The better commercial would be if the guy had hand puppet Flo and lipstick in awkward places when the wife caught him.

When this commercial started airing I was afraid "nailed it" was gonna become a new advertising "catchphrase" cause right around the same time it came out the Big Lots Christmas ad started airing with the heifers singing "nailed it, nailed it"
