I actually like the Progressive commercials. I should hang my head in shame, I know.
 

One announcer from each of the major sports:
Doris Burke
Tony Romo
Bert Blyleven (thankfully retired)
 

Capital One March Madness commercials with Spike Lee, Chuck Barkley, Samuel Jackson, Jim Nantz and Jennifer Garner are about to make this list in about 6-8 weeks
 


There's always some horseshit excuse about why your insurance premiums keep going up and up. Here's an idea, stop peppering the general public with millions of dollars worth of ads each year and passing that cost on to your consumers. Nobody's ever chosen an insurance company because big, jolly Andy Reid (how's giving your kids jobs they don't deserve working out for you?) said a funny word.

Fuck the Chiefs, but Jamie is a star!
 




Sarah McLachlan. I love dogs and think people that abuse them are shitheads but I'm tired of those commercials.

I like Doris. I'm over Tony. I grew to hate Bert.

Kars 4 Kids commercials.
Steven A. Smith yelling about everything.
Mayor Frey/Tim Walz making a statement about anything.
People spewing Nazi and racist allegations, toward everything they disagree with.

Kars 4 Kids 4 sure!
Steven A. 4 sure!
The other two you can take to the political board.
 



I gotta admit I like some of the insurance commercials too. They get played way too much but some are clever.

I will say I don’t understand why the insurance companies dump that much money into advertising? They could put on every celebrity and pay Larry David to write the funniest commercials but at the end of the day, you go best deal/ coverage.

I've wondered if the ad campaigns are just as much or even more about retaining the customers that they already have?

No one like to be called fat - look at Captain Obvious’ rejoinder earlier in the thread - flaunting his imaginary “svelteness” @Slim Tubby

when I worked in research, we did studies for pharma clients on commercial recall/recognition and also with Docs on what names would work best for new drugs (they have employees devoted to doing this specific task) that was gonna be in that pharma company’s pipeline - lots of money and effort into those endeavors.

My favorite, none obvious Coke (masters of that craft), was -

I read someplace that if the drug name does not contain an "x" or a "z" it will cut sales in half.
 







Watch the replay of this Saturday night live 50th anniversary. Thought about this thread when Peyton Manning made an appearance. So tiring ...

I hate the Progressive ads even more.

I have a buddy who knows "Flo" pretty well, and was shocked when I told him how much I hate those commercials, and her, by extent. Another buddy knows another regular on those commercials. Yuck.

Just seeing this now. I read an article sometime in the last year that said she makes $10M/year from the ad campaign. A very ordinary looking person with very ordinary talent is making an extraordinary amount of money starring in a very annoying ad campaign. Capitalism at its finest!!
