Flo and Jan

Progressive has Flo; Toyota has Jan.
I really don’t get their appeal.
At first, Flo was cool, with her retro pouf hair
But with Jan – tell me, what is the deal?

By now I can say, well, they’re both on my nerves
And I’m sure many others agree;
So a word of advice to their ad people – please
Make commercials both Flo- and Jan-free.

Recognition’s important – I get that, I do,
But a negative sticks in the craw;
If these ads were like diamonds, I’d have to admit
Jan and Flo feel like finding a flaw.

Ah come on, I like Flo. :) I get it. I hate it when they yell at you. Makes me not want buy what they aren't selling.
