Progressive - Flo Sings!

Coming to a music store near you - Flo's Greatest Hits!

There are these new radio ads that have our resident insurance shiller "singing" songs about insurance. I can't stand these ads because the bitch can't sing! She sounds horrible and the lyrics are stupid but what else can you expect from Flo Ho?

If you listen to Live 365, you're bound to hear these commercials as well.

Don't forget her big yellow horse teeth!

I just heard that self-confidence ad for the first time this morning and all I could think about was coming here to snark on it.

A bit OT, but still regarding Flo commercials, remember that series where it would show Flo doing really annoying things, and then the tagline went, "Having Progressive is like having Flo on the road with you? or something like that. I'd love to know what the person who came up with that concept was smoking. Uhm, newsflash guys, I don't think anyone wants to go on a road trip with Flo. She's generally thought of as one of the most annoying mascots in commercial land. Equating your service with having to take a long car trip with her will make most potential customers run for the hills.

I'm on all of them."  So Progressive knows very well how much she grates on many peoples' nerves and they STILL subject everyone to her horrible "personality."  Ugh.

My parents HATE those radio commercials! Since The Cleveland Indians were okay this year, my dad was hearing their games. But when these Progressive Commercials came on...he'd rather change the dial....

PS-I like the name and avatar...as well as the "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketches...mine is Sean Connery!

Her agent must be amazing!
