Dump Flo
« on: November 26, 2016, 07:37:04 am »
Does anybody else think it is time for Progressive to dump "Flo" and get a new spokes person?  She is old and fat.  And I am just tired of seeing her face.

Countrygirl I AGREE 100% with you.  I never really liked her, but now I'm sick of seeing her.  It's time to move on and get a new spokesperson.

I don't think she's old and fat  :-\  I can see switching things up since she's been with Progressive for a while. I just don't pay any attention to her anymore.

She's not old and fat.  She doesn't bother me I don't pay much attention when she's on anyway.

I don't think she's old and fat, but she is extremely annoying, and that doesn't make me very eager to switch to Progressive. So yes, it would probably be a good idea to dump her.

I don't think she is old or fat but the ads are boring and they need to update them

I think that is a good idea. Audition someone else to be the next voice or face for their ad. By the way I could never fully understand the message being conveyed.

I don't think they should get rid of her. As soon as you say flo everyone knows that you are talking about progressive.  I don't think age or looks matter.

I don't agree. Firstly I don't think she is old and fat, and even if she were I don't make a judgement on what people look like. Secondly, I have watched all of her commercials and she is actually very funny. There is one commercial where she plays the part of several members of the family around the family dinner table and what she mutters under her breath is hilarious! But you have to listen carefully. She uses her expressive face fabulously which enables us to read between the lines, so if anyone should be fired from the commercials it is the Progressive cardboard box which is not even a real actor!

Maybe it was just the one ad.  I don't know.  It is the one I keep seeing when I do the daily email.  It is so irritating I want to punch my computer.  She looks like she has gained about 50 pounds and like she should have died 3 years ago.  lol

I think I saw that ad.  It irritates me.  There are a couple where she is at the diner table.  And looks do matter.  You can't have a junk heap bum representing your business and expect people to pay attention to you.  But if you have a professional clean cut person representing you then people will pay more attention.  So looks do matter.  I just think it is time to update their ads.  But not with that stupid man dressed like a baby.  Those are even worse.  And the whole "dump your parent's insurance company" is foolish.  You will get a better deal if you stay with a company you are already established with or have family established with.  Besides that Progressive is one of them skip by on the skin of your teeth deals.  It is not a good idea to have the bare min. for insurance.

Contrary to what you all may think, just that fact that you are talking about her makes her still relevant.  You are paying attention or you would not be complaining.    How would you like to go to work and hear people think you  are a little heavy or little a little old, so they need to get rid of you.  No wonder actresses are always talking about past 35-40 and they cannot get work.  Tacky.
