Do You Know Anybody Who Likes Flo From Progressive? (1 Viewer)

Lots of people. Probably the honey booboo crowd. They tried to kill her off a few years ago but that didn't work. She makes like $5 million/yr

Here's a better question... would you want her gig?

I mean she's probably rolling in boatloads... no one knows her name, yet she has to be one of the more recognizable people in the USA if you watch even a little TV or read print ads etc.

How much would you need to make to make annoying commercials and have your mug all over print ads and other weird things?

I mean, essentially once the gig ends she'll be forgotten just like the Can you hear me now guy, or the sprint Trenchcoat guy, or Dude you're getting a Dell guy.

But how much would you need to make to feel comfortable making a public mockery of yourself like flo, or the sonic guys, etc.
This is a stupid question. Of course most everyone would take the gig in a heartbeat.

Really? I'm not sure if I'd take the gig. I feel like the social consequences could outweigh the dough

You're joking, right? The only downside here is if the gig lasts so long you get type cast and can't get much acting work afterwards (see Izuzu guy from the 80s). Based on how different she looked in Mad Men, I think she can change her hair, put on some glasses, and walk the streets relatively unrecognized.

For Flo?

I really don't get the absolute hate. I find her annoying but it's so easy to avoid TV commercials now that she's just a mild annoyance. With DVR there's essentially no reason to ever have to watch a commercial. Heck, 90% of TV I just catch on live streaming options. Otherwise I record any TV show I want to watch. Thursday/Saturday/Monday night football games I record, wait an hour while avoiding social media, then watch. Sunday games I have Sunday ticket and flip between games so no reason to watch. Any other sporting avoid I record and wait long enough to fast forward commercials.

Seriously the only time I ever need to see a commercial is a super pivotal sporting event (like when the Mets were in the World Series) and during those rare occasions the commercials are a blur to me.

In short, Flo can't be that annoying in which case I'd take 5 million a year to have her job.

Also a very good point here, too.

No way you pay up her gig for 5 mil per.

 
I also recall listening to some comedian on talk radio once who commented that the actress who plays Flo is well respected because she came up doing stand up comedy at some legendary club and, apparently, is quite funny. So it also sounds like she has the respect of her peers.

So your friends really only like you because you're a dentist? I get that some people (especially older generation) really identify their self-worth with whatever their occupation is, but it's a ####### job.Sweet hours, great pay. Sign me up.

Flo gets left in the dust by Laurel Coppock (Toyota Jan) and Milana Vayntrub (AT&T Lilly). :wub:
Well no question about it... that's not even up for debate.

Obviously the hottest pitch person is Hannah for the Direct TV commercials with her stupid horse... since she's a real victoria secret/SI grade model.

The question here more is.. how does Flo exists if she's almost universally despised.
I was trying to :hijacked: with pictures of better looking women on TV.

Not as bad as that little #### Peter Pan from the Geico commercials. I hate that little ####er with a passion.
You know that's the point of the ad, right?
Yeah I get that. I will also never do business with Geico because of that ad, and the many others that suck that promote that company.

Interesting
Yeah, I only buy products if they have really good commercials. Pricing and quality are pretty low on my decision-making list.

I'm sure you're not alone and I'm sure they absolutely loved it. That's one of the great parts about the campaign. Nobody talked or cared about The Messenger (some of you probably have no idea what I'm referencing) when Flo got a little stale a couple years in. I love Flo, I'm a little biased though. ;)
