Probably still Spuds McKenzie. All the ones out now are more appropriate for a Least Favorite, which would have been a better question.

Hi there. Are you a large person? Pleasantly plump? A little on the hefty side, perhaps? Well, let's face it: Are you FAT? When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK'? Well, now, you can eat all you want, because at Thornton Melon's "Tall & Fat" stores, we've got you covered. That's right. Fine woolen, and woolen-blend suits and sport coats, in all the larger sizes - husky, stout, extra-stout, and the new Hindenburg line. And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns. Yes, we have miles and miles of fabric. So take it from me, Thornton Melon, if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people.

Flo

puddleglum 3 years, 9 months ago

totally agree

Marcy McGuffie 3 years, 9 months ago

Really???

My husband thinks she's hot. I really don't understand the why. She's definitely an attractive lady outside of the commercials....but the character Flo...ugh! Way too perky and her makeup looks almost clownish. Though, I do kinda dig the bumpit hairdo she rocks.

CreatureComforts 3 years, 9 months ago

Flo is the best. And yeah, she's fairly cute.

whats_going_on 3 years, 9 months ago

yah! So funny.

labmonkey 3 years, 9 months ago

I hate Flo. I am so happy I don't have Progressive anymore so I don't support her.

I loved the old guy on the Coke Zero commercials a few years back who would say "Millard Fillmore was the 13th President!"

laughingtokeepfromcrying 3 years, 9 months ago

I'm not fond of Flo, but (car commercial-wise) Elmer Fudd cracks me up. And the Caveman with the luggage on the crab boat. And the Waltons, taking entirely too long to say good night... Ok, obviously, I need to get out of the house more...
