Kudos to Progressive's marketing team! The generation that started with Sonic is now at the age where we are buying cars and in need of car insurance! what better way to relate?Excellent strategy!
Hmm... I guess the only reason Sonic would need Car-Insurance would obviously be for his Racing-Car from the "Sonic&Sega All-Stars Racing" (Awesome game, and the only Sonic Racing Game worth playing imo!) game.
Wouldn't it make more sense for Robotnik to be the main person in this commercial? He can ask Flo if they have insurance for giant killer robots since Sonic keeps trashing them.
A. Sonic doesn't have a car...yes he had a car racing game but he's not known for racing games.
B. The "punchline" makes no sense, Sonic isn't loony tunes, that kind of humor does not fit the theme. That joke would make sense if it were the roadrunner...but then again he doesn't have a car either.
@CorporalHotdogs it perfects sense. Sonic always gather rings for health insurance and also he always destroys Robotniks machine and have to pay for them.
My new favorite commercial. I bet he was looking for plane insurance for Tails. First time i saw this... It was on Animal Planet.. Hmm.... How ironic >_>
I love how people think they can project other peoples ideology and way of thinking through comments in a virtual environment if they do not explain it, thinking they can grasp the motion used behind the comment. Logic and common sense is withering away as the years go by it seems. People think stating the obvious is now categorized with being smart.
Funny commercial, wish Sonic had said something though, and Tiles should have been with him hovering next to the Lady.
this just makes me sad... who next? Mario!? or this could be a way to kinda promote a sonic drift game in the works =/ .. but I just can't believe that Sonic sold out... to A CAR INSURANCE NOT LESS ....
@newyorkhomeboi a fictional character can't "sell out" the corperation that owns the rights to the character, (sega) is who decides what to do with it. In this case make a deal with progressive. DId you graduate highschool man? how can you be so dumb. corporations make deals all the time. lmao, saying sonic, a videogame character "sell out', is one of the stupidest things ive ever heard.
@kylem1112 Well I'd beg to differ, what you said may be stupider if at all his or her comment was stupid to begin with. Reason is, for some odd reason, you reasoned in your mind that the person LITERALLY meant SONIC sold out as if he's a real physical being...this is what happens when people today are in a hurry to go against people, putting their 2 cents in on everything for no apparent reason. I thought I'd see comments with LoL's or such BUT this is youtube of course.
I'm glad to know that Sonic has to run around speedy fast to find the right insurance and comes up empty handed before being told they do all the work for him and that there is a store where people waste their time looking for the right insurance when it didn't even work out for Sonic.
I'm thinking the reason sonic didn't talk was beacuse they jacked up his voice by hiring Roger Craig Smith. And sega was getting tired of hearing all the complaining! They jacked up the other voices to just listen to em. I wish jason would come back maybe the rason why i'm into transformers now is because of the voice changes.....
@SonicandNights1 I agree. I miss Jason Griffith doing the voice for Sonic. Because Roger's suck & SEGA made the worst mistake ever changing his voice.
@thedarkdude134 i know he had a car in a coulple of games but seriously. sonic is known to be faster than anything in the world so why would he need a car to travel
@grayboy964 Maybe he just needs a car for when his feet get tired. He has to take a break sometime you know. So, maybe every 2-3 months or so, if hes not saving the world ^_^
I liked seeing this on TV with the old Sonic 3 music, but I kinda wish the commercial makers would have used the Invincibility and 1-UP music from "Sonic & Knuckles / S3&K" instead of the Sonic 3 stand-alone game, because both of those games were originally meant to be sold as one. Other than that, it's very creative in my opinion. (8^)
Okay, someone answer me this, please. Why is Sonic in a Progressive commercial? And do you think they contacted Sega for this? This is so strange! That's like putting mario in a Geico commercial.
Ok, if Sonic's shopping for car insurance, that would suggest that he's bought a car. So, my real question is: Why he would need a car if he runs faster than one?
Sonic didn't speak because his current voice actor died in a car accident. Sonic seeks insurance while Sega seeks yet another voice actor. This could very well be a teaser for the epic sequel, "Sonic Drift 2". (BTW this should've had Classic Sonic.
@KYLE8497 I'm thinking it's because he is the same color as the shade of blue they use. I also think it's part of a gimic, to earn a certain crowd of people. It works sometimes but I just love seeing Sonic anywhere it's a shame about his voice actor though. He will be missed...
@Digital380 how can a fictional character sell out dumbass, it's called product placement. One corperation (progressive insurance) pays another corperation (sega) to use a reserved copyright character to hopefully gains sales or intriuge their possible future customers with an ammusing ad. People have done that ever since capitalism was created. sonic has been in everything from mcdonald's commercials to tv shows in the 90's. so he "sold out", however stupid that sounds, a long time ago
Sonic :I just my crashed my car in seaside hill and I don't want to lose rings so I need insurance NOW. And that's why sonic need car insurance(and should never rode in a car on the first place
