Alpo Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The commercials are dumb. I cannot imagine my parents acting like that. Or any of my friends parents. The actual parents in the commercials, and the parents that the kids are now morphing into - those are sitcom parents. Those are the way parents act in television situation comedies. Not the way parents act in real life. My parents did not act like that. I don't act like that. The parents of my friends did not act like that. My friends now that they are grown do not act like that. My grown neighbors do not act like that. I have never seen a real person that acted like that. Maybe they act like that up in Yankee land, or out on the Left Coast, or up in the Great Northwet. The people don't act like that here in the southeast.

Trigger Mike Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Actually I do some of those things. I comment when i see someone with blue hair, even now that my daughter does it. I park at the end of the parking lot for easy escape even a church. My wife tells my children to go to the bathroom whenever you can just in case you won't have one later.

Telling young children is different that if she told the group when you are out with mature friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Creek Jack Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I was at one of our Hugh family reunion’s a couple years back and one of my older (96 year) old relatives said he had been watching me all day and said you are the spitting image of you father, I told him I considered that a great compliment and he said you certainly should.

I have my hot rod insurance through them. Much better. Also if your a member of AARP, you’re spending you’re money on progressive programs. Gotta love AMAC, can't abide AARP and their leftist BS. Another goodie (that costs nothing) is Hillsdale College's magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I avoid products promoted by AARP!! It’s NOT an association. It’s a business run by people who do not represent anyone but themselves!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second I find them to be very funny, since my parents did some of those things. And now I find myself doing some of them. Their target audience is not our generation. Much of their target audience doesn’t buy insurance. That’s something that their parents WOULD do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant to be funny get over it. That's what I thought when I read the first post here. I haven't seen the "offending" commercial, but commercials are supposed to be entertaining--that's why they're made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Trigger Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 On 4/24/2022 at 6:39 PM, Pat Riot, SASS #13748 said: I have USAA Auto and Home Insurance. They won’t cover bikes so I have a special deal through USAA with Progressive. I did not want to change my Auto, Home, and especially Umbrella Policies from USAA so I have a bike rider through Progressive as well. But it pained me immensely, since Progressive Insurance has donated to Anti-Gun groups and supported Anti-Gun legislation. The CEO and Courtney are ALSO extremely outspoken anti-gun promoters. Happy to say I haven't seen the commercials that you are referring to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
