How can kill Dr Rick on the Progressive commercial?

Seriously. I dream about strangling that Xanax eating mofo. He’s worse than flo and all the others put together.

No one will convict me except Webber and Corgi.

I just watched some news events on the net and that asshat was on pop ups. Christ, I kill my tv and that douche follows me. Kill me now.

I’m with you on this one. He makes Flo palatable.

He’s Dr Phil on Xanax. Ok. I’ll let them bury them both with Oprah. Does that make the world like liver and onions?

As long as you guys are talking about him, the advertising firm is doing it's job. It's sad that annoying commercials are effective for most of the viewing public !

They should have had Jim Gaffigan play Dr Rick.

He's the least annoying of their characters. Just based on their advertising I will never buy Progressive or liberty insurance.

It seems like my decision to quit watching network tv is still paying dividends.

nope, not even maybe. I've seen several folks here say that she got their motor running, and I still don't understand that.

I like the Flo character and the gal in the pic is the Flo actress, surely a while ago.
