I'll admit most of the various and seemingly endless Insurance ads irritate me in general. Especially "Flo". But the recent group by Geico have had their moments. Especially the "Rescue Panther". I break up every time I see it when the Panther licks it's mouth. The eyes have it! Who needs sleep?

Are You In Good Hands ?

I am OK with Flo for Progressive Insurance. Ditto the Geico gecko & most other Geico commercials. (Rescue Panther is outstanding.)

Aflac is OK too.

On my Most Irritating list for insurance is virtually the whole Nationwide Is On Your Side playlist.

The best of the current car insurance commercials (by me) is the 1 with the guy standing beside his wrecked car calling the the State Farm agent -- except he no longer has State Farm coverage because he recently saved 15 percent by switching.

I like "Mayhem"; he cracks me up but I can't remember what insurance company he stands for so that is not good advertising = poor recall. Is it State Farm?

I like Flo. A friend went as her at Halloween and her husband was the gecko. I still smile when I think of them.

Like the Panther, also find the 3 teenage girls "ewww" "seriously" "that is so gross" hilarious.

Rescue panther is cute...never saw it before so looked up on youtube. I always see the guinea pig rowing team which cracks me up.

I can't remember either, but the one I like best is when he was the GPS unit. Hilarious!

Mayhem is allstate. I hope they don't drop him now that they are playing the ones were the actors voices all change to the spokespersons voice.

A large part of the reason I pay Directv for a DVR is so I can record shows and fast forward through the commercials. I see ducks and lizards and other animal totems floating by but I've never had the least desire to slow the dvr down for them....
