More on Commercials

I'm not a fan of Progressive Insurance, but the "becoming your parents" commercials kill me! They are spot on! "You don't have to print the internet". That is so funny!

I guess it doesn't take much to make me laugh. What commercials make y'all laugh?

I don't think I've seen that one. I mostly watch either stuff I've recorded or I watch semi-live so I can ff through the commercial segments.

One group for me, of late, has been the KIA commercials with the robot puppy. OMG, cuteness beyond. Sadly, and maybe it's partly due to my recent loss, they make me cry too though.

The first one was just beyond. Then the one where they are in the car and the driver suddenly stops and pulls over, and picks up a stick. He gets back in the car and the next scene they are going down the road and robot puppy has his head out the window with that stick in his mouth. Those two both make me cry like crazy.

I agree, I think those are really funny!

@SurferWife I like them also but sometimes think "What's wrong with that?" whatever he is telling them not to do. EX: I always take snacks on the plane. I guess I'm just protecting my old age.

The Xiaflex commercial ("bent banana") is kind of surprising but I guess it shouldn't be; nothing is off-lmits any more.

In a way they're sort of amusing but they are also insulting to the common sense of our parents and, in many cases, us. I would never, for instance, buy snacks for a flight at the airport knowing how they jack up prices. Is it provincial or backward to tuck a granola bar in your handbag? I think its sensible.

I think they're hilarious too! We all turn into our parents to some degree, even if we swear we won't, plus, nothing really wrong with any of the examples.

There was a thread not too long ago about people being insulted by this commercial that went on for pages!

The other night, I was watching what I thought to be commercial for "Beaches" resort and thought it was kind of off and then realized it was a Progressive commercial. I thought that was pretty funny too.
