Can't we do something about Flo ??

humpty dumpty — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 12:51:40 GMT

Flo in the Progressive commercials ... haven't we had enough of her? ... can't we start a petition to get her off the air? ... or am I the only one that uses the mute button when she comes on? ...

I love Flo! And I hope she has negotiated some great contracts, as they expand her 'role' in these commercials. I especially love the ones where she is performing the parts of all the various family members. Those are the best ones.

I see nothing wrong with her in those commercials. Have always thought someone is clever as they are well done and usually quite funny. Doesn't bother me a bit, why would it?

I like Flo.

She's just making a living.

I love Flo. Whoever writes these commercials sure has a great mind. I love where she plays all her family members. They keep changing it up so I don't think I'll ever tire of her.

Obviously people are watching and recalling them. I watch every one, who knows why. Then there are commercials I just fuzz out on, don't even know what was on the screen. At the other end of the spectrum are commercials that are so funny or clever, I remember the people and the plot, but I can't tell you what they were selling.

Love the Flo commercials! Bright spot in the vast wasteland of commercials.

No it's not you. I am tired of Flo. There is also another one that is played every five minutes. "You've totaled your brand new car. Oh no one was hurt, but there will still be pain."

These are only people trying to earn a living, nothing more. Of course I wouldn't try to get rid of them

Personally I like her very much and would miss her face!! We all have commercials we either love or hate so just turn the channel when she comes on.

No, humpty dumpty, it's not just you. My husband often comments that he's tired of "Flo" and thinks it's time to retire her. Yes, it was cute at first, but like many things, over time some people will tire of it.

Actually, I read an article where they did try and phase her out (remember the commercials with that guy with the mustache and aviator sunglasses a couple of summers ago?) and the backlash was so huge they brought her back pronto.

Every time I think I am getting tired of those commercials, they do one that is especially funny and inventive.

I think Geico has done a good job of having two types of commercials. One with the gekko and one I saw this morning that made me laugh out loud.

It was set in the middle ages and it appears they are about to torture this one guy. After the "boss" leave the room, they flip everything around and the "tortured guy" turns out to be the net in the ping pong tournament . . . really well done, very funny.

Sorry humpty dumpty I enjoy Flo. All I can say is that this too shall pass.

Oh no, it's not just you. It's just you who spoke up. We change the channel whenever she comes on. They need to get a duck or a lizard or some cartoon character. It feels to me like a situation where they can't come up with something new. Old and tired IMHO. Yes, this too shall pass, but not soon enough for me.
