Oh, no, no, no!!!! Not the game-show cliche AGAIN! F~%K

I swear that: 1) ad writers get fired for shunning fads and stupidity, and 2) all advertising agencies have Wheel of Fortune-style wheels with all the formulae on them, and spin it to pick the cliche(s) to put in the ad. Original thinking be damned!

It only needs to have a little kid as a contestant (winning of course) along with some dancing, off-key singing, and... you get the idea.

Ooh, I forgot: Start it with ye olde reliable mock news broadcast that cuts over to the game show.
LiMu Emu: the NEXT red meat!

Talking about game shows, I'm pissed! Yesterday I was watching Jeopardy! It was at the end of the show where they revealed the final clue and instead of going to the Think Music. It cuts to commercials! Then after that, it went to the beginning of Wheel Of Fortune! WTF WTNH? What gives? I never got the final answer! Bastards! Somebody f**ked up! Big-time!

BTW I'm noticing a pattern here. First award shows, now game shows, what's next, cop dramas?

I hate this one too but of course what makes it the worst is that stupid buzzer that he's constantly pressing. Even if I'm not in the room, I can hear it and it's an instant annoyance.

I knew they would spoof a game show - another 'daytime' program. Last year it was 'Look! Famous People' and a while back it was Maury. What's next - Flo vs. Jamie on Judge Judy? AngryAngry

I know it makes me yearn for the sounds of Family Feud from the 70s.

I've seen this at least three times this week alone and I'm definitely sick of it! I change the channel when  the bimbo game show host appears on my TV. Angry

Saw it twice yesterday...exactly why is this nonsense still on the air?! It has nothing to do with car insurance and has no point. Just another thing to make me change channels. Fk you Progressive!! AngryAngry
BTW I still can't believe that's Mark DeCarlo hosting this 'commercial' - he sure has fallen since the early '90s 'Studs' days...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHY?! It's back. Progressive brought this piece of horrible s--t back with a guy who's been a nobody since about 1992, Mark DeCarlo. 
WHY?! On what level does this have anything to do with car insurance? Can anyone at Progressive tell me why they chose to bring this one back? DeadAngryAngryAngryDead

Still on the air?! I can't even. What does this atrocity have to do with car insurance? Anything? Anything? LISTEN TO ME PROGRESSIVE! Anything?! Go fk off, Mark DeCarlo, Flo and Jamie! Will never use this asinine company as long as I live. Yes, I'm also talking to you, Geico and Liberty-Liberty-Liberty-my-a$$-Mutual! AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDead

Last night it came on. I have never hated the trio of idiotic car insurance companies as much as I have lately (Geico, Progressive and Liberty my a$$ Mutual). 
Why was this greenlighted? What were they thinking!!? 10/10 on the stupidity meter.

Still beating that dead horse, aren't ya Progressive? This commercial continues to be an instamute because of the stupid 'game show' plot, the fact it has nothing to do with car insurance, the contestant with 'millions' is a goon, Flo & fkn Jamie are holding a SIGN IN THE AUDIENCE, and oh yeah - what is Mark DeCarlo doing wasting his life on this?
This and Progressive on Ice are on my nerves! See why I have a DVR?! And why my recently-purchased used sedan is insured with State Farm? CensoredCensoredAngryAngry
