Wow. And I thought Mario in McDonald's Happy Meal commercials were weird back in the day.
Also, speaking of Sonic 3:

Hey, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing was a darn fun game!
Odd commercial, guess there's nothing wrong with cross-promotion?

There have been far weirder things in the past in terms of marketing and licensing...
"If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em."
And yes, they tasted godawful. Both flavors.

That commercial was a waste.
Not because it was bad, but because it was on Fox News, where the average viewing age is 65. Reference probably went right over their old, white, tin-foil covered heads.

Looks like somebody at the Progressive ad department knew which Sonic game had the best soundtrack =3
@Jinx I like how the first sentence is just matter-of-fact. "Nintendo is for breakfast now." no exclamation or anything. :D
Come on, Mr. Ponce. Does a completely unnecessary post about a video game character in a commercial really necessitate your added commentary about how you would totally bang Flo, the Progressive lady? And why use "give it" in the headline? "Giving it" is never once referenced in the commercial. You just wanted to add that so that you could 1) make a joke about Sonic having sex with Flo, and 2) make the comment about how you wish you could have sex with Flo. Jesus Christ, man, at least pretend like you want to be taken seriously.
"At least he doesn't talk. That should make the green-eyes haters happy, right?"
I know you're joking, this however is stupid.

Hey guys, leave Tony alone. How many other retarded bloggers do you know of? Like, actual Down Syndrome or cerebral paulsy or something.
He's doing pretty well, all things considered.

Wow Sega just lost a mighty amount of respect for me. No more new sega games if there pulling this kind of shit. (I'll buy them pre-owned)
Has everyone forgotten about Nathan Drake's Subway commercial already? That was far worse than this imo.
@Pencoin clearly you wern't alive in the 90's when Sonic was in just about everything promoting all sorts of crap
@Jinx
At least when Drake showed up selling subs, it was for a purpose. Sony actually partnered with Subway to promote the game and give out access to the beta and win prizes.

Seriously? Now THAT'S just petty. Honestly, I'm sure the majority of us have always wanted Videogames to be recognized as a respectable form of media, so going by the usual standards, I really don't see how having Sonic spin around an insurance commercial is any worse than Kanye rapping 'bout all dat poowa.
Plus, it's not like it hasn't been done before.

I'm not sure Sonic is the best choice to use on vehicle insurance, what with his main characteristic being the ability to run at incredible speeds.
Have you people been paying attention to the new Sonic games? (And by new, I mean within the last year) Like...at all?
Nintendo should buy Sega. Then they should make Sonic Adventure 3 and it should be awesome.

I don't see any other way how he can be redeemed at this point.

"Why does he even need auto insurance to begin with? His clown car from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing?"
You do realize that Progressive insures more then just cars right? Being an insurance company I imagine they'll insure anything, people just don't ask for insurance on things like their legs or feet unless they're an athlete. Given that Sonic's been in the Olympics a few times, why don't we go with that for a reason?
