I realize a lot of folks actively dislike the "Flo" TV commercials for Progressive insurance but she's been the mascot or spokesperson for over a decade and if she weren't helping them sell insurance, they'd have long since packed her apron and shuffled off to Buffalo.
As a kid, we had a Flo-like ubiquitous character for, of all things, toilet paper, the much-maligned Mr. Whipple. If you grew up with the Charmin' Bears, you may have never heard of him, though we're all familiar with where bears would use Charmin'.
At the top of my list for most annoying TV icons are the dynamic duo pitching Liberty Mutual which, I'm sure, is a wonderful insurance company, Limu Emu and Doug (and that's two-plus minutes of your life you will never get back). They are, however, if reports are to be believed, no match for Kevin and Carol from Down Under.
I'm wondering if Rod Hull's estate has expressed any interest in taking any possible future collaboration on the road.
