I'm with all the not liking Progressive ads people. The worst is the one where she's standing with the robot and says "beep bop boop, " or some other nonsense. I can't believe someone gets paid for such stupidity.

The eTrades are also my favorite...especially the one with, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen." The point of eTrade ads (supposedly) was that they were easy enough for a baby to do. They believe that objective has been achieved, so on they go to other ads. Bet they won't be as effective.

Remember the song? I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper...
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? Edie

I particularly hate hometown commercials advertising something and the business owner uses his kids or grand kids to say "My dad is the best (whatever).," or "Get your house insurance from my granddad ". I'm sure they want everyone to see their children, but I would not buy their product based on that advertising choice.

WHY? Does that somehow relate to auto insurance? And Flo floating in the air--? I didn't get that one either. I don't try anymore, I just hit a 'surf' button.

Don't they get to give the kid money and use it as an expense/tax write-off? All the while dreaming of the kid becoming a ''star'' from the exposure. Oh yeah! We have tons of those in our area.

I don't mind the Progressive ads; in fact, some sort of grow on you.
I do enjoy the Geico ones with the little lizard. He's soooo cute.

Of all the commercials on TV these are the worst. There is a local car dealer who uses his twin daughters who look like they are only 10 yrs old and the way they are dressed and made up they look like hookers in training. My Dad has been out car shopping -my brother took him to that lot and he found the car he wanted and at a price he could afford. But as soon as the owner came out to talk to him, Dad recognized him and told the guy No Sale and told him how disgusting his commercials are and left the lot. I am so proud of him. : )

The commercials I tend to listen to are the funny ones.

And I especially love the Hershey Kisses ones - I will listen to them year after year - love those kisses!
