Has anyone but me noticed..especially as Flo grows larger and more immense..that Jamie, the obnozious anemic nerd sidekick..seems to be more the STAR of this adverfeces than the Floster? And no, I am not posting the damn ad..you all will be seeing it time after time soon enough. The chubbs asian chick that has been on a few ads gets her stupid price 'gun' from the Flomeister as Jamie pontificates in his geekly manner about its 'importance'..then appears to Flo throw under the bus but then gives her the 'really nice' thumbs up.ugh Ugh UGH..he is so incredibly cringe worthy...BUT at least he can actual make it across a ROOM without total exhaustion..unlike Flogurt.

Just saw this less than an hour ago...it's the young people, moving up in the marketing world that make today's commercials such a hellish experience!
"Brick and mortar, WHAT?" STFU!!
Sure! I am influenced by commercials. More and more are making me avoid their product.
GREAT WORK!! ADHOLES!!

Makes me miss those Progressive ads from mid oughts that had the white cgi Ford Explorers with the blue "PROGRESSIVE" letters on them zooming about. Oh and they had a song too "This is hoooow life should beeeee" Sure it was generic but man it looks like something DaVinci painted in comparison the current crap that's airing now!

Jamie is a dork and needs to be thrown out the window along with Flo and that BOX! Why hasn't anyone smashed that thing yet? Fk off Progressive...like Geico, you aren't getting a phone call from me for your car insurance.

Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

Apparently, they felt Flo needed a partner/sidekick similar to the DriveTime girls, the Steak N' Shake Zen duo and of course, the Sonic dorks.
Duos tend to be funnier than solo acts. I guess because they can play one off the other. |

...the ads take aim and lay their claim to the heart and the soul of the spender

Good one! Unfortunately to me the "talking about getting that money" gets easily stuck in my head I end up repeating it again and again. Luckily my head's filled with Gran Turismo 1 tunes there's no chance that I'll get the "money" song stuck in my head. How can anyone believe that the Progressive adverising is anything but a huge garbage barge is beyond me! |

Oh man, I HOPE "Jamie" is not the heir-apparent to Flo's legacy. He is not good looking, engaging, or funny in any way. At least Flo seemed warm and personable, until the commercials got old. Maybe the chubby girl who is handed the price gun by Flo (symbolic?) might be new the heir. She looks like she might prove to be funny.

she has made the rounds on alot of these ads..HEY, why not take that semi-retarded 'Skittle pox' chick and elevate HER to stardom, Progressive? Clearly her and Jamie could make quite a CHARISMATIC pair..and she has a better mustache then he will EVER grow.

'SkittlesPox' is (really) one of my very favorite commercials of all time.

Saw this one last night, NO sign of Flo. I really do think they are phasing her out....finally Jamie is not an improvement for these ads though. He comes off like a total weak bumbling idiot!
Off topic, I've said this before and was wrong...but we haven't see Toyota "Jan" since the end of December (Toyotathon slop) - I think....maybe....hopefully we saw the last of her. |
