Me and my friends LOVE LOVE LOVE the Progressive commercials "Don't Become Your Parents"----so funny

 

I also LOVE "Walter The Cat".....

 

Haven't seen any in awhile, but I LOVE Subau's canine family adventures with the Barkleys......

Love them or hate them they get people talking about the product or service. I don't pay enough attention to be able to tell you anything about them. 

 

I will watch Walter the Cat, he makes me laugh every time.  


@mspatmac 

 

I love WALTER THE CAT TOO.....

 

Your right about these "TMI commercials" yes people end up talking about them, but it ends up back firing in a lot of cases when some find the commercial to be down right ANNOYING or in "POOR TASTE" which makes many people NOT to want to purchase or try that product or service they are trying to sell.........There's a fine line ........

The commercial that gets on my last nerve is the one with the guy yelling "I made Lasagna" and every other idiot in the ad is yelling too. I don't even pay attention to who the ad is for. Why do these moron advertisers think I want to list to a bunch of jerks yelling at each other? I can't change the channel fast enough.

ITA....some of the so called "humor" is just so immature and juvenile....  I remember when the commercials were creative, funny, and imaginative instead of being either annoying and not funny or lewd and crude or tmi....

 

I cant stand that Lasagna one either, or any of the Liberty Mutal commercials...or the bratty kids and enabling parents with Mac N Cheese....or the one where the kid's band plays so badly off key and the woman rolls up the window in her car and smiles---that off key music hurts my ears--- I cant grab my remote fast enough for any of these😣

I hate that car commercial. I think it's Lexus, but the kids playing off tune is annoying. I tend to hit mute.

@MrsSB Funnily enough, his character on The Bold and the Beautiful was just "killed off". I thought his acting was better on the Liberty Mutual commercial........maybe comedy is his forte.


@RNbynite Well that's news to me that he was in any Soap, but in that case, I'm glad he's got this Liberty Mutual gig!

I think the commercial with Dave Grohl making lasagna is funny. Maybe because I understand it?

I find the progressive commercial insulting to older people. It looks like 30-somethings probably came up with these and think they are hilarious. I have never liked any insurance commercials...they are the worst of the worst, so I hit mute ASAP.
