Progressive.

I always thought Flo was annoying. Then they introduced Jamie and Mara and they make me want to hug her.

This. When we switched our car insurance, I checked rates with every company but Progressive, just because I hate their commercials so much.

Dr. Squatch's commercials suck, but I love their soap. So does the wife!

The commercials themselves aren't really that bad. They're just overplayed severely, to the point that whenever I see those two dudes pitching anything else, like the Painter sunglasses, it's an immediate rejection.

There was also an allergy medicine one where someone ordered coffee topped with whipped cream at a drive-thru.

Driver hands the coffee to their friend in the passenger seat, the cup doesn't have that lid/shield thing that literally ALL whipped cream topped drinks that are to-go have.

Passenger seat girl SNEEZES and the whipped cream sprays everywhere inside the car. The windshield, the window, her clothes. Eugh.

Not even effective as I don't recall what brand it was advertising. Nasty.

Liberty Mutual is pretty awful

Made worse by the fact the focal point of the advertising is their "only pay for what you need" insurance which means nearly all their clients are going to be underinsured.

The emu itself is fine. But everything else sucks.

And I can't say this enough: Being properly insured is important. Paying for insurance you're not using sounds like a dumb idea and people always want to save, but it's such a big mistake if you do happen to need it someday.

This bugs me about all the cheap insurance ads in general though.

I have saved several times my car's value over the last 10 years by not paying for collision/theft/etc. for my old car. Not everyone needs to insure their car, especially if it's older.

I haven't seen this ad in so many years but it immediately came to mind.

I don't even know what Dr. Squatch is.

And progressive is fine. Liberty Mutual is awful right now though.

Came in to say this. The guy they got is so bland and uncharismatic that he makes me hate the original (great) commercial more and more every time I see him.

so the thing here was that they legally could not make any claims about what the product did, so they had nothing else that they could say

Oh, also, foot medication ads that put human faces where the toenails should be, or lift up the toenail in some way. I don't exactly love looking at feet in general but both of these just make it so much more gross.

Why is that?
The product is pretty much just wax, the active ingredients are so diluted they may as well not be in the product at all, and there are no clinical studies to support any claim of headache relief beyond placebo effect
