The only reason there is television programming is to get you to watch the commercials.

contemplating romance.

Someone sprayed in 1' letters in an rarely use stairwell, "PAT & JOE" !

I smile when I hear the commercial.

[The romance was consummated for awhile].

I used to like progressive commercials with Flo especially the beach one. But some others are getting lame.

I received mailers from two of my credit unions about lowering home and auto insurance costs but when I opened the envelope it was from LIBERTY MUTUAL! No way!

I dropped cable so I never have to see those ads again.

At first, it was just the clicking attempt to "whisper" by the actress on the ad, but after it played constantly throughout the day and night on a couple of channels for weeks, I could cheerfully throttle everyone in the ad.

As they tie in the tag line, "Liberty Mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need."

I think the show was one of the first or the first comedy with a Black family as the main characters. Very funny. but yah, hate the advertisements too.

The one with the guy and the Afghan hound cracks me up, although I think they should have tried to hire Trevor Lawrence for the part.

I remarked awhile back that I bet the Liberty U. pep band was going to pick up on the jingle and start using it. Spousal unit protested that there was a copyright issue that would prevent that. "Since when would that matter to THEM?" I retorted. He allowed as how I might be right.

I think this commercial is brilliant in its execution.

The Liberty Mutual commercials jumped the shark a long time ago.

The little girls jumping rope who turn into disabled old people is the worst one, in my opinion. At the end, one says, "Yep, everything hurts." As a disabled old person myself, I find it offensive, and yes, it does.
