All of the Progressive-Flo commercials are absurdist and/or surreal. They all take place in an all-white purgatory-like place, with characters that are caricatures, The farcical scenario you described is part of the fun. Think about classic sitcoms like I Love Lucy and Three's Company; they've both featured plotlines that real couples would never encounter.

That's part of the silliness of these commercials. But the point is that even if they're not a couple, they're gay. To get a bit more serious, gay couples do often keep separate finances, and if a watch is expensive enough, one might sell it to his lover instead of just giving it. BTW, it's sweet if you to say "husband" instead of "boyfriend" even though only a few states allow gay marriage. :)
...? How was this a gay ad? I thought it was just about a guy who sold a watch to a douchebag friend. Wow, I never looked at it this way! Haha! Media is so sneaky!
@Xineal wrote "Wow, I never looked at it this way! Haha! Media is so sneaky!"
Yep, just enough subtle gay hints to attract gays, but not so overtly gay as to alienate others. Another clue is that every other Progressive ad to show two people together (man and woman) depicted the two as a couple. So it's reasonable to assume that these two are also a couple (another ad had two male co-workers who bump into each other accidentally, so they weren't together).
@ConnorMay1993 Please read the other posts for the hints. Advertisers often put subtle clues to target specific demographics without the clues being obvious enough to alienate the mainstream.
These guys are presumed straight and 'just friends.' Why would you 'sell' your watch to your partner, why would you buy you partners watch from him/her when they hit hard financial times, and why wouldn't you sell the watch back to your partner? Wouldn't you just lend your partner money or just help them pay their insurance because you love them? These men are just friends
@Ryantravisaol They're meant to be funny, surreal and absurd -- just like all the othet Progressive commercials with Flo. Think about your questions and the classic 50's sitcom, I Love Lucy. Do Ricky and Lucy always behave like a normal rational couple?
Consider this: Every other Progressive Flo commercial that had two people together depicted the two as a couple (the coworker ads didn't feature the guys together and it was clear that the two were coworkers).
@lgbtTV4 I understand, very clearly, what your points are but I don't believe they apply to this commercial. Why can't Progressive just make a commercial about two friends?

I think the 'coworker' ad was a poor example to backup your claims. The story line was that they were 'surprised' to see each other.

@lgbtTV4 I assume they are just friends because who would honestly treat their significant other is such a way i.e. buying that persons watch because that person has fallen on hard times and then refuse to sell the watch back when that person is once again stable? If you care about a person, you would loan them money or gift them the money, not buy an object favored by the individual refuse to sell it back. Better question, why won't Progressive validate you 'gay' claim?
@Ryantravisaol Ummm, don't assume gay couples play by the same rules as straight couples. My partner and I see our money as "our" money, what i make is mine, what he makes is his.... no wills, no alimony, no inheritances. I am not a straight woman who needs a man to care for me financially or have kids that need financial support. Sure, we gift one another most of the time, but he lends me money when times are tough, and I do the same, expecting payment in return.
@cjs33139 'Ummm.' Don't assume you are speaking to someone who is straight and/or making assumptions about your specific situation.

this isint a gay ad! its just two guys! so when you see to diffrent guys walking together that automaticly makes them gay? is the army gay? cuz they walk side by side
I can't believe those who think sexual orientation is a personal choice are really thinking about this subject! If homosexuality is okay, then anyone who want's to have sex with his mom, father, sister, or brother is fine too!!!!!???
@Twisted86 what is the age of consent for a goat? How about the age for a chicken? Do all farm animals have the same age of consent reguardless of species? Is the age of consent older or younger for zoo animals? GET A CLUE. The age of consent for people is different from Nation to Nation and in USA is different from State to State. In some places the age of consent is different for females and males.
first of all, homosexuality and incest, are two way different things, second, ur response is kind of funny, because personal choices are preferences, but who ur attracted to is natural. U can't wake up one morning and decide who ur going to fall in love with, seriously, find out facts before u start judging people with feelings that u couln't ever truely understand. U've probally grown up with Homophobic parents who raised u poorly, but don't worry, ignorance does not deserve hate.
@Jett573 oh, and i worded that wrong, it should say personal choices are decisions, based on things u CAN control. Besides, the only thing u should hate, is hate.
@1ice1cold wrote: "If homosexuality is okay, then anyone who want's to have sex with his mom, father, sister, or brother is fine too!!!!!???"
Okay, I'll bite... so give me a convincing argument BASED ON FACTS AND DATA on why it's wrong for two adult brothers to have sex with each other. Or mother and adult daughter. Or post-menopausal mother and her brother or adult son. I'm not saying I'd encourage those, but I dare you to prove that there is any harm. Or that it's your business. Duh.
i've seen this commercial periodically for almost 2 months now here in new mexico. it took me until just now to realize that guy was wearing a rainbow on his shirt. i don't think they're meant to be a couple though - one guy selling his boyfriend his watch doesn't seem ... couple-ey.
well im not sure if this was a gay ad or not but ive seen many gay progressive ads all over the internet that show vintage photos (1900s) of gay men and women with there partners .
To those arguing about what makes this commercial gay: Obviously Progressive is trying to reach the Gay market, thus the commercial. The one thing that made is "Gay" was the Rainbow Shirt with the guy on the right. Yes, they act rather effeminate, but the trigger is the colors associated with being gay and that, to me, actually states who this commercial is intended for.
If you really look at the little movements they do with their hands and head you can tell they're gay. Plus, guys go to football games together, they go to bars together, they watch sports together. They don't go buy insurance together.
I am so fucking tired seeing this progressive bitch, Her ads comes every fucking 10 mins on every fucking channel. I so so tired, annoyed of watching her and progressive ads. I wonder who is the fucking advertising manager of progressive ad campaigns, I guess this bitch is his wife. Thats why he cannot think anything else. Asshole, change the fucking ad concept, bring some real hot chiks or get some lizard like geico. I rather watch him than this bitch.

This isn't a gay add, its a guy and his friend. He sold his watch to his friend to make more money. You wouldn't sell your watch to your lover, that wouldn't make sense.
I have never seen this add as homosexual and I very much doubt too many people who see it on tv do.
@StealthG6On18s Why? nothing about the ad even suggests they are a gay couple. Looks more like a guy and his friend, and he sold his watch to his friend. No hand holding, kissing, nothing obviously gay between them. Do you think everytime you see two guys out together in public that they are gay lovers?
@StealthG6On18s wrote "Everytime this comes on TV I lose a little bit of testosterone"
Is that a euphemism for masturbation? So just how much "testosterone" do you lose? A teaspoon? And how many times do you "lose testosterone" in a week? :)
Your freaking retarted! How can you just asume that they are gay by the way they look. If you are fat (bitch tits) and have long hair, are we supose to asume that you are trying to look like a god damn tranny?
@punanibuzzed Hmmmm, I wonder why how "the dude on the left" looks matters so much to you. Latent homosexuality, perhaps? BTW, writing in decent English might give you more credibility.
@punanibuzzed Ever considered getting your GED before posting? You confirm studies showing that homophobes are generally less educated. For examples, what is "a frankenstein"? (FYI, "Frankenstein" is capitalized) And "fag" is not an adjective, loser. "suckd" is not a word. Pathetic.
@punanibuzzed Wrong. Do your research before posting. AdWeek has pointed out that this campaign is a huge success, and this particular ad is one of the more popular ones. I work in advertising and I can verify that the entire campaign is well-regarded in the industry. Please don't let your arrogance project your own taste and prejudices onto the rest of America.
@punanibuzzed Not true. This particular ad has done well in focus groups so it's shown even more than some of the other Progressive ads. Turning off bigots mean very little in the business world especially since polls consistently show that Americans are increasingly accepting of gays -- especially the powerful 18-49 age group. So stay in the dark ages if you want.
@11NewAuthor2 And we care about your buying habits because...? Seriously, wh do you think we'd care about your preference in insurance? As you've stated, you wouldn't buy their insurance anyway, so would the company OR ANYONE care???
A 1996 study put hetero men into 2 groups: homophobic and not. Both watched gay, lesbian and hetero porn. Arousal was measured by penile girth. Both groups reacted to lesbian and hetero porn, BUT ONLY HOMOPHOBES GOT ERECT TO THE GAY PORN. Latent homosexuality can cause strong homophobia.
Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA. Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? J Abnorm Psychol. 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5.
I feel sorry for anyone brainwashed enough to believe that ass wipe material called the bible. Then, someone who is stupid enough to consider other peoples "sins" (thats a gay word huh?) worse than another.
So, since you live by the bible, have you got any slaves, or stoned any children causing parents problems lately?
You're the sick retard, and you're too blind to see it.
Have you argued with your parents, eaten shrimp or worn mixed fibers? If you want to follow biblical laws, go hang yourself. Yes, this is the same Leviticus you use against gays.
"everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death" - Leviticus 20:9
"Do not wear material woven of two kinds of material." - Leviticus 19:19
"Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you." - Leviticus 11:12
"Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: WHOSOEVER DOETH WORK THEREIN SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH." (Exodus 35:2)
So what shall we do about people who work on Sunday? How shall we put them to death?. Why don't you go to the G20 conference and fix the worldwide recession with these biblical economics and laws? What a sad joke. You're a damn hypocrite.
"Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard" (Lev. 19:27) I guess you've never trimmed your beard. or the hair on your temples But for us men who break this law daily, what is the proper punishment? I suppose Gillette and Remington are no better than drug dealers and whorehouses. Have you contacted your lawmaker yet? Have you reported your neighbors? DUH.
Let's enslave people based on race (Leviticus 25:44)
And then give those slaves to our children, with no emancipation possible. (Leviticus 25:45). I guess abolitionists were sinners since slaves aren't allow to hate their owners (1 Timothy 6:1-2).
And of course, your silly bible bans CONSENSUAL sex among ADULT GAY MEN yet is fine with sexual slavery of young girls! (Exodus 21:7) (Gen 19:5, 19:8)
Btw, I challenge you to show me where the bible bans lesbianism.
Sounds like you do with your attitude. Why so angry at them? Got a little secret you're keeping inside? Maybe you lust after other men, but hate them so much because it goes against your ass wipe material known as the bible.
BTW, reading the bible and sitting in church with other men singing from the hymnal is gayer than going with your man lover to Progressive for insurance. At least they don't hold hands pretending it's a sign of peace when it exposes your man love.
@ObongoUltraChimpout Seems like you know the procedure well, moron. Hmmm, I wonder why you were staring so intently into his mouth...? Fantasizing about a french kiss, perhaps?
Straight men were put in 2 groups: homophobic and not. Both saw gay, lesbian and hetero porn. Penile size was monitored. Both groups reacted to lesbian and hetero porn, BUT ONLY HOMOPHOBES GOT ERECT TO THE GAY PORN. Latent homosexuality can cause strong homophobia.
Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA. Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? J Abnorm Psychol. 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5
I'm sure you'd want to. Come out of the closet, loser. Instead of secretly masturbating to gay videos on YouTube, embrace your inner homo. You'll be happier for it.
wow a lot of people whove commented here have made like a million gay jokes..seriously you guys? and most of the other ppl have made a big deal about it, as in theyre portraying gay too much, or that this ad is trying to make it all about gay people. um no. cant gay ppl just go buy car insurance in an ad without everyone noticing? this ad is just fine, it portrays the LGBT community just fine, and doesnt distract the audience from the main product, becuz we gay ppl are just normal costumers.
Ya I believe that it was meant to be a gay couple, but they have to make it "not so obvious" for all those gay haters!! I was at LA pride 09 and Progressive was there handing out all kinds of things and taking pictures for there website. And thats why I'm a happy Progressive costumer!!
@CitizenSieyes it shows his level of desperation, I guess. And it's meant to be absurd. BTW, gay couples often keep separate accounts unlike traditional straight couples. So for one of them to sell a personal possession to the other is possible, I guess. I knew a gay couple of 8 years and they still loaned each other as little as $5. In my relationship, we wouldn't borrow $5 or even $50. They would be considered gifts.
I think this is great! They do seem gay to me, but in a subtle manner. I like that they didn't portray the gay guys as the stereotypically flamboyant types, because most gay guy's aren't.
@eveready666 holy shit. this was the same joke that i been telling people about this commercial and sure enough someone else thought of it. weird. lol.
I had a similar thought - that these guys were supposed to be marketing to the gay community. Volkswagen does the same thing quite a bit as I recall. Clever ad though because at first glance they just appear to be buddies (which very well may be the intention). But they are probably supposed to be gay.
The guy with the button down shirt sure looks and acts gay...I thought from the moment I saw this ad that this was a gay couple. It's quite obvious, actually. Why would two men be shopping for auto insurance together?
Oh let me be clear. If they absolutely have to put gays in their commercials, the fact that the two guys were together could have done that. Making them flamboyant like that is just stereotyping. When they put black people in their ads, the very fact that they are there is enough. I wonder what would happen if they gave them a bucket of fried chicken and a watermelon for buying the package? Or made them use Ebonics? People would lose their damn minds!
@MackenzieMichael You are coming up with the absolute best comments about this. People would be beside themselves. Also, Gay is not a race it's a lifestyle, and it's debatable how many people choose a deviant lifestyle or are biologically attracted to the same sex, however gays don't realize how disturbing it is to see men act so effeminate and weird towards each other. I agree, make it two men if you HAVE to make a gay commercial, however making them overly effeminate just fuels the stereotype.
@MackenzieMichael wrote "I usually get blasted for my position on homosexuality."
And what positions are those? Missionary or doggy style? Top or bottom? And if you don't like being blasted, ask your boyfriend to wear a condom. And while you're at it, why don't you and abloom1970 get a room instead of flirting so publicly on a gay channel? geez, talk about latent homosexuality.
@MackenzieMichael Why would anyone blast your views? They're too incoherent to be worth refuting. Seriously, I think you're flattering yourself if you think people care about your views.
That is is a gay couple is pretty obvious by the Rainbow pride shirt that the guy in the glasses is wearing -- and the fact that this commercial has gotten major airplay on LOGO!
Nothing in a commercial is accidental. They're some of the most detailed, scripted, and produced 30 seconds of film. The poster is right, they want the business of the gay audience - not that there's anything wrong with that.
@catv2 wrote: "homophobic: people that have views other than yours"
Huh? What are you talking about? My friend and I have different views on global warming, but what does that have to do with homophobia? Do some research and you'd see that homophobia has specific clinical, sociological and legal parameters.
They're almost certainly meant to be gay. This ad, I think, is meant to be seen as gay by gays, and straight by straights. I'm lesbian, and as of late Progressive's been putting ads on the lesbian blogs that very directly try to cater to the gay community*. They appear to be pursuing us. I'm not exactly sure yet why.
*Old, late-1800s photographs of probably-gay couples hugging or kissing each other on the cheek, with the title "living up to your name, now that's progressive", or the like.
Before you switch from a good insurance company(AAA, Mercury, USAA or State Farm., do some research. Progressive may give you a lower rate;however, they will stipulate your car is repaired with aftermarket parts. These are imitation parts that do not fit properly. Your vehicle will be devalued after a Progressive claim. Google Progressive and look at all the complaints. Geico and Progressive think you are so dumb, all they need to do is saturate the market with commercials and you will buy.
This doesn't say gay to me at all. I might have gone there with you if it weren't for the fact that one has sold his watch to the other. I haven't sold anything to, or bought anything from my wife. I'm no expert, but I can't imagine that a gay couple would act any differently in this regard.
Yeah, because gay guys don't just meet up behind specified areas in towns, or rest stops, or mens rooms for a quick suck and fuck with random and aonoymous people.
Even straight people who have a 1 nighter actually sit around and get to know the other person. How often do straight men meet women in a field outside of fenway park just for a free blowjob?
I've loaned girlfriends money expecting to be paid back, and vice versa.
@19nisey69 So just to be clear, you think they're random anonymous sex partners who met in an interstate rest area, and they're shopping for auto insurance together? Do I have that right, or have I misread your comment?
Point being, many of them live a totally different lifestyle than any straight person might be acustomed too. Not specifically stating the "partners" in this commercial.
Haha not gay, just metrosexual.

It takes more than a hidden rainbow stripe to make a person *gay*. IF the commercial was trying to be *gay*.....it failed.

i mean being gay you can tell off the bat some of these things X)
they only throw in the selling the watch as a lil bit of a throw off
in my opinion. of course because if it was a flat out "gay" commercial some may be offended

first of all, homosexuality and incest, are two way different things, second, ur response is kind of funny, because personal choices are preferences, but who ur attracted to is natural. U can't wake up one morning and decide who ur going to fall in love with, seriously, find out facts before u start judging people with feelings that u couln't ever truely understand. U've probally grown up with Homophobic parents who raised u poorly, but don't worry, ignorance does not deserve hate.

Or post-menopausal mother and her brother or adult son. I'm not saying I'd encourage those, but I dare you to prove that there is any harm. Or that it's your business. Duh.

To those arguing about what makes this commercial gay: Obviously Progressive is trying to reach the Gay market, thus the commercial. The one thing that made is "Gay" was the Rainbow Shirt with the guy on the right. Yes, they act rather effeminate, but the trigger is the colors associated with being gay and that, to me, actually states who this commercial is intended for.

I agree, make it two men if you HAVE to make a gay commercial, however making them overly effeminate just fuels the stereotype.

Before you switch from a good insurance company(AAA, Mercury, USAA or State Farm., do some research.

Your vehicle will be devalued after a Progressive claim. Google Progressive and look at all the complaints.
