Dr Rick

It's been a long time, world of Rick. I couldn't resist this one. I find most commercials annoying, much more so once I see them over and over.  But Progressive has come up with a couple ads that I have to tip my hat to. The ad series featuring Dr Rick, "Parenta-Life coach", follows Dr Rick as he helps new homeowners avoid turning into their parents. 

Progressive started this type of commercial with some ads featuring people that acted "like their parents" once they bought a new house. I find the series overall to be a mixed bag with a few solid bits and a few misses. In adding Dr. Rick, however, they've nailed it.

Cubs win!

Hell of a job, Tom Ricketts . You got a World Series win, and the value of the team is sky high

I subscribe to a word of the day email. Here's today's:

I expect each of you to use it in your daily lives

No, Rick. NO. NO. NO. NO.

Watch this. Or don't. He thinks he wins if you watch it, probably.
