And I'm a long-time Progressive customer. Those commercials make me really want to look for a different insurance company.

It gets people's attention. The Peter Pan kid is annoying, too, but funny.

He was good as a cop in "Battle Creek".

His name is Dean Winters.

From his wiki:
In June 2009, Winters contracted a bacterial infection and collapsed upon arrival at his doctor's office. While being transported across Central Park in an ambulance, he went into cardiac arrest for over two minutes. Paramedics were able to revive him, and he was hospitalized in intensive care for three weeks. Over the course of the next year, he developed gangrene, requiring the amputation of two toes and half of one thumb, and ten subsequent operations including a skin graft. Winters was away from acting until 2010, when Tina Fey brought him back to 30 Rock and he started work on the Mayhem campaign.

She's probably more qualified to be president, too. The ad currently driving me nuts is the lady with blackheads. Yeeeeccchhhh. I don't want to look at giant blackheads on my screen.

The commercials are usually interesting and creative. Usually.

"Mayhem" was better but I think haf more of a fundamental limit of what you could do with it.

I have State Farm myself; after my accident 5 years ago (not my fault) my car was totalled out. I didn't have a job and I had just moved back into my parent's house with my kid, so I bummed around looking for work and taking him to the beach. I finally got a car in September... and they wanted to more than double my rate. On a cheaper car.

Why? "There was a break in my coverage".

I had no car to insure. But it didn't matter.

That company was Progressive.

I called my parent's agent after getting the same story from Geico, Allstate, and Amica, and State Farm was able to insure me for less than half what Progressive and the others were offering.



They had nice rates prior and good customer service, but my break in coverage was because of some under-insured asshole in a Volvo (also their customer), not me.

And if you remember her AND which product she's endorsing, she's already done her job and done it well.
