Is anyone else tired of Flo, Scot and the Sisters of Savings?

[femurphy77]

Flo (progressive) has gone way beyond jumping the shark! I had to call them the other day to renew and told the CSR if they didn't dump Flo I'd find a new insurance company next year. Scot, "Feed It, FEED IT" and his hokey phony Scottish accent could fall into Loch Ness never to be heard from again and it would be noticed by none, and the "sisters of savings" with their month long ridiculously worded ads get annoying around the third time they play it.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Yes, enough out of her. And the GEICO snake.

 

[chezuki]

Flo has passed her shelf life as the "young and quirky girl with the retro-style".

To make matters worse, The Sisters of Savings are merely reading scripts that have been provided by some big advert company, which writes them for some conglomerate of car dealers. You cant get away from those schmaltzy scripts...being in a semi truck I skip around radio stations a lot because of signal. I have heard those freakin' commercials in MD, VA, WV, PA, OH, MI, WI, IL, NC, KY, TN, and MO. (At least it's different people reading them though) I don't normally go much west of the Mississippi so I can't tell you about any of the K-designated radio stations.

I guess this means y'all aren't watching The Masters or the Indy Car race.

 

[The Keymaster]

Yes, enough out of her. And the GEICO snake.

Snake?

 

[atvdave]

I don't want anything to do with Peter Lewis's name on it. It's even a rumor that Peter Lewis is very anti-gun right.

PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE is owned by Peter Lewis: Who is he? Read this?

Interesting that you lump the single most creative company (ok, the hired ad agency) in geico with progressive. Progressive found a pop culture hit with flo. geico has had the caveman, the googly eyes, have you been living under a rock, HUMP DAY!, the weeee piggy, i just saved $200 by switching, and on and on.

The "snake" is an official mascot so it needs to appear every now and then, but if I never see flo again I'd be as happy as a witch in a broom factory, or happy as an antelope with night vision.

The sisters really bother me. I usually respond to my radio, "I get it, you have a dealership".

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

I kinda like Flo and her bumpit. I'd do her. The Geico gecko is running out of steam, though.

 

[K_W]

I get it Flo is their girl, fine... but "singing" Flo needs to go. That ad they've kept running for YEARS now is so annoying I dive for the dial as soon as I hear "And now!,".

The sisters on the other hand... NEVER buying a car from Hare, EVER. Their commercials kill my soul... and then I want to smash my radio.

 

[pute62]

If Flo would let me name my own price, it would be $10 to never hear/see of her again. As for the sisters of savings, I knew enough about them when we went to school together to stay away.

 

[jfed85]

Flo is hot!



Hater...

I'm tired of commercials in general. I DVR everything on the TV to skip them and change channels on the radio when they come on.

You need XM/Sirius satellite radio. Best $15 a month I've ever spent.

And here is the winner^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any show/series we plan to watch is recorded (DVR) and we can blow through the crap advert.

Shhhh! If the networks figure that out they'll start trying to change so we can't do that

The Sisters of Savings really grind my gears, as do any casino ads. I don't know what it is about a casino ad, but I immediately change the station if I hear one. But I'm mostly on my iPod, so it's not that big of a problem.

 

[MrsGungho]

guess I live a sheltered life, never heard of the sisters, I've seen "Scott" once and I have learned to tune Flo out.

Must not listen to the radio if you haven't heard of the Sisters, or you listen to a lot of 700 WLW like I do.
