Flo is pretty cool. My sister hates her but I've enjoyed her since the day she popped out

Flo is a hard-drinking womyn.

Flo has grown on me, but I am absolutely REPULSED by "Mara."

Their commercials are annoying AF but they have great rates.

I've always liked Flo. I wonder if the actor cares that she'll forever be associated with that or if she's just happily counting her bills over a glass of wine.

I feel like I could spend all day drinking and shooting the shit with Flo. But the ugly ging? Ugh. Vile.

Useless trivia: the actress who plays Flo had a minor role in the very first episode of "Mad Men." She plays a switchboard operator.

I fricking love Flo. The others are meh--although I like the Zoom call ads with everybody-- but it's rare that I won't actually watch a commercial with Flo in it. When they found that actress, they hit commercial gold. I hope she's got a good agent because they should be paying her very well.

I hate Jamie.

by Anonymousreply 19August 12, 2020 10:26 PM

Flo the actress is from The Groundlings. Net Worth: $6 million. I doubt she registers your hate.

by Anonymousreply 20August 13, 2020 12:51 AM

I'm surprised she's worth only $6 million - she's been in a major national ad campaign for a very long time. But, celebrity net worth estimates are notoriously inaccurate - in both directions.

I love the Progressive commercials and now all the other insurance companies are trying to compete and theirs are pretty good too. These are the only decent commercials around.

by Anonymousreply 24August 13, 2020 1:21 AM

How do you even watch enough tv to know the commercials? Are you retired or spend your days in waiting rooms? I haven't seen a commercial in years. I'm not boasting, I indulge in lots of mindless crap.

One of the biggest letdowns of my whole entertainment life was finall cutting the cable because I was simply paying to be shown hours of advertising, turning Hulu in, and after ten minutes that fucking homely bitch came on being perky for Progressive. Hulu never got a dime outa me after that

R20 it's interesting how you equate wealth with happiness and fulfillment.

by Anonymousreply 32August 13, 2020 3:29 AM

R32. Flo the actress is reasonably successful in a very competitive field and is nationally known. Those are major building blocks towards happiness. Someone does not become an actor if they don't want some level of fame. To suggest those aren't components is naive.

Whoever came up with Flo is an advertising genius. Since the Flo campaign started, we've met Flo's extended family, her coworkers, her archrivals and Darryl. All in 30 second spots.

Their rates would be greater if they didn't blow so much of their revenue on advertising. I'll go out of my way NOT to buy insurance from them because of their nauseating firebombing advertising.

R45 I love Limu the Imu AND his wife. I laugh every time I see that commercial where he and Doug are receiving an award and the camera cheats to the wives in the audience.

by Anonymousreply 49August 13, 2020 7:19 PM

Yeah - Liberty Mutual is an embarrassment. Particularly that ill-conceived Limu Emu. Is is a knock on the Geico gecko? It just doesn't work.

But I think Allstate's Mayhem works very well.

The problem with having such a distinctive ad campaign that goes on for years is - when does it end? The ad agency and the actors all keep wanting a higher payday. It becomes difficult to keep it fresh - but everyone is afraid of changing anything.

by Anonymousreply 50August 13, 2020 7:24 PM

R50 I liked Allstate's Mayhem also but now it looks as though they're bringing back Dennis Haysbert. So I guess they are trying to change it up.

Flo bugged me when she first showed up, but she grew on me, and the commercials where she plays various family members shows she does have some comedic chops.

Have you ever heard their radio commercials. I am fairly sure the voice actress playing Flo is not the television Flo and some bargain knock-off.

As an old All My Children viewer, I did have a soft spot when they had Susan Lucci play a role.

by Anonymousreply 58September 1, 2020 8:18 PM

At some point a few years ago they tried phasing Flo out (some dude on a motorcycle, and Flo appears as a bobblehead in a truck), and evidently it tested poorly, as she was back very soon after that.

They have tried pushing Jamie and Mara really hard over the years, and no doubt they would love to retire Flo, as she is making coin (there was a rumor she was making $1million a year a few years ago, so it might be more now), but people actually remember the ads (and Progressive's name), which is huge.

by Anonymousreply 59September 1, 2020 8:38 PM

R59 that's because they run ten million ads a day. Clearly Flo's salary is a drop in the bucket.

by Anonymousreply 60September 1, 2020 11:29 PM

Ugh. They won't stop with the ads.

They have another series that doesn't have Flo and the cunt where people are "turning into their parents" or something and each line in every variation is torture.

There's also that Idina Menzel insurance ad where she's singing about taxidermy, and if I didn't hate her before, I do now.

The Liberty bibberty actor now plays a doctor on the Bold and the Beautiful.

I loved Flo when she played her sister Janice on the stationary bicycle......

For the other companies - I don't like Doug and Limo and I hate the chorus that sings: "LiberDEE, LiberDEE, LiberDEE!!!!"

I like the houses with Ratt, cloggers, and aunts.....

And I like the commercials with the guy helping people NOT be their parents.

Their treatment of the character of Jamie is inconsistent. Sometimes he’s a fool; sometimes he’s a combination of Noel Coward and Errol Flynn.
