I am considering taping the football games on tv this year and watching them later for one reason only, to fast forward over the Damn Progressive Insurance commercials , My God I have seriously considered pouring gasoline on my head and lighting a cigar to relieve me from the pain of watching that red headed idiot tell us how good the insurance is . The difference between hitting my right testicle with a hammer and watching back to back Progressive commercials are minimal.
Has Progressive bought all the television time ? Do they secretly run our government ? Are we being brain washed with subliminal messages by North Korea who actual owns Progressive. telling us to swallow our tongues ? I have seen them run back to back to back commercials on every channel and I am convinced they have a secret lair complete with submarine entrance and a "doctor Evil " behind the scenes trying to take over the world. I would be interested in seeing their advertising budget numbers , and I would guess they could buy china and All of the civilized world.
So with all that money the only sensible solution would be for Progressive Insurance company to buy all the bowls
Including the BCS title Game and Have a thirty minute half time infomercial for each one.

I dunno...
The Progressive commercials are nowhere near as funny as they seem to think they are, but I have seen much, much worse.

Also I have their insurance and it's pretty good actually

yeah, they're all bastards really
Anyone’s going to jack your rates up for getting in a wreck. Even if it’s not your fault

Well, my experience with Progressive
has not been good. My “agent” was some fat kid with a lappy and a Crackberry I had never spoken to before. Then, he assigns my repair to a body shop that was obviously overloaded. Thus, my rental car runs out before they get it fixed. He says he can do nothing to help me….were it not for the owner of the body shop loaning me his own car, I would have lost my job…then, they return my car unfinished….once again, the “agent” was too busy playing chat-tag on his Crackberry to help me..the body shop was a stand-up operation, who helped me through it, more so than the bum Progressive assigned to my case…and I won’t even begin to rant about the medical side of it…if you’ve had luck with them, more power to ya…in my opinion, unless my case was an isolated incident, they can piss off.

Hold on, now. You can’t blame this one on us gingers. She’s clearly a brunette.
Crap.
I swear there was a picture there when I first posted this.

We're all talking about them, aren't we?
Perhaps we’re annoyed by the commercials (though I’m not as much as some, apparently), but their name does come to mind rather quickly when the word “insurance” is spoken. The ads must be working.

Not crazy about
the Progressive spots, but I love the Geico ones and the Dos XX’s “The Most Interesting Man in the World” spots.
“If he punched you in the face, you’d have to fight off the urge to thank him” That is hilarious!

Nice conspiracy theory...

had the highest advertising budget last I heard.
Progressive ads do their job well. They stand out and they make you remember. Most of them are funny the first time you see them. The problem is that we see them 500 times.
