Those stupid Progressive "becoming your parents" commercials

[Mysterian]

cause me to immediately change the channel. Also any commercial with country music (what they play in Hell).

1. The mute button is your friend....

2. Not to be contraian ...

12. Warm chuckle...

[Intractable]

4. Renewal by Anderson ...

are now my most hated commercials.

One of their recent commercials has a voiceover with the most annoying professional voice I've ever heard.

[Sogo]

8. My most annoying professional voice is Jake Tapper.

Whiny, nasally; I just can't stand it!

[Intractable]

10. I refer to him as "Take Japper."

Please take this yapping man.

He's a best-sellng author. Who's buying his stuff? Not I.

5. I think they are entertaining. My wife needs to see Dr. Rick

11. I judge everything against the stupidity of the Liberty Mutual ads

Every other insurance company's commercials are, to varying degrees, okay by virtue of being not nearly as terrible. I actually rank the "Becoming Your Parents" line one of the lesser annoying, although they're WAY overplayed. But then, they all are. Allstate's are fairly consistently better than the others, IMHO.

15. Downvoted!

How awful!

6. The political ads are at it already and I'm in a red state, red district so you can imagine how happy I am 🙃

7. My husband couldn't

stand the Progressive commercials 🙂

9. Sadly

I’m of an age I can see me acting like my parents in weird ways now. It’s both horrific and comforting at the same time.

13. Very effective commercials. if it keeps the product in your mind, it is a 'good' commercial.

As long as it is not so enjoyable or irritable that you lose track of the product.

[Mysterian]

16. Not if I avoid the product if the commercial annoys me...

Which is just how contrary I have become.

But with insurance, for me, it's the best rate, not a stupid commercial that makes a sale.

[Wonder Why]

14. What gets me is who thinks up these stupid commercials and what idiot executive approved them?

Some make no sense. I watch and wonder what they are advertising and what are they saying about it?

I guess maggots must enjoy them because they have no brains anyway.

Fat Pig enjoys them because he thinks it's wonderful how many companies talk like he does.

The billionaires love them because they like companies that make so much money, they can throw away money on garbage.

The fundamentalists love them because anything their little minds don't understand must come from God.

The repugs love them because they Democrats don't.

17. Very few car commercials tell you ANYTHING about the product

It's all about the IMAGE. Truck commercials tend to talk about the product features somewhat more.

18. A very strange new ad for Cheese-It crackers shows a young guy about to meet his girlfriend's father...

...for the first time. The kid sees a Cheeze-It cracker appearing in front of the father's mouth. He leans in toward the dad, and it looks as if he's going to kiss him.

Really creepy.
