I could accept the silliness of a half-man, half-motorcycle creature if it sold its product but after the 30 seconds are up, I have no idea what the flip they are selling. STUPID. |

They're just being weird. Maybe they hoped it would turn into a meme. It seems desperate.

Great! Progressive's version of 'Sequels'? Just STFU! |

I've always been OK with the goofy sense humor in Progressive's ads, but this is just the height of excessively stupid. That guy should have been created as a comic book character rather than an insurance company commercial sales pitch. Also, how many black guys ride motorcycles? Very few. The PC factor alone makes it suck even worse. |

Geico has a commercial with a black guy who, besides riding a motorcycle, is singing Wild Thing by the Troggs. Unlikely on two counts.
As an aside, my cousin's black boyfriend rides a Harley. |

These commercials are not funny and are just awkward and are uncomfortable to watch.

A lot of black guys ride in the hoods of Miami. Especially on the MLK holiday. They break the law each year and overrun the streets in Miami-Dade county riding atvs and street bikes. It's really flagrant and unsettling. |

Plus, it makes no sense:
Guy: "Do you ever wish you weren't a motaur?" Motaur: "Sure, I wish I had legs.." Guy: "Yeah, like a regular person..?" Motaur: "No, still half bike, half man.." So, which is it, yes or no?

That's all I have to say about that.

Yeah, I've seen that one too many times. Looks like that's starting to become "a thing". |

You know the one with the two kids? Doesn't the one look kind of like a real life Bobby Hill?

I don't know if that's fair. I'm a black guy and I used to ride. (I don't now because of the back injury I received in the army. I WOULD LOVE to get another bike, but I love being able to walk more) I know plenty of black people that ride, though.
