I'm tired of Flo, as well as the Trivago guy. Some of these companies could stand to mix it up a bit in their advertising.

I never cared for the Flo commercials either. Her hairdo drives me nuts, LOL.

Yes, you can do something: change the channel, mute the TV, record your shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials.
Personally, I like Flo better than that Gecko on the Geico commercials--that one has run its course, IMO. And the Aflac duck gets on my nerves a little, but, alas... The one that always cracks me up is the State Farm commercial where the husband is talking to Jake in the middle of the night. Cracks me up every time. There's no accounting for taste

I would never buy Progressive insurance because of her. Sounds childish of me but from the start, I've been repulsed by that actress. Being constantly reminded of her with the barage of commercials didn't help. Kind of like food poisoning, you don't want to eat a certain item ever again.

Oh Vamp I totally agree! The original set of commercials were very funny but now that they have morphed into the Coneheads version is just genius . . . love them!

I find this character, and this line of commercials, BEYOND annoying and I avoid them at all cost. But I know it's not all about me, so I just grin (or not) and bear it.
They could do so much better, but - well, I'll keep the rest of that thought to myself.
Another insurance company that makes me want to avoid them because of their commercials is Liberty Mutual. Those commercials are almost as idiotic, with some dolt standing in front of the Statue of Liberty telling some emotionally charged drivel of a story about how their insurance company made them sad. boo freaking hoo! blech

In the beginning I was bored with Flo.... but she's been allowed (as an actress) to expand on her talents (love the one where the whole family is together and everyone is the actress!) I think she does a great job, has kept the commercials upbeat.
However, IMHO I no longer "see" the commercial as Progressive or an Insurance commercial, I just watch the actress so for me they've lost their impact.

Anyone can start a petition. If that's what you want to spend your energy on, go for it. Change.org is the place to start.

I don't mind Flo at all. It's the fake Harlan Sanders for KFC and those over played Liberty Mutual Ins. commercials that need to go. Who names their car Brad anyway?
I can't imagine starting a petition to get anybody fired, though. They are just actors earning a living. More important things in life to get upset over.
