His kids out there trying to earn an honest dollar twirling a sign and all his dad does is make fun of him. Meanwhile dad is driving an old arse Camry, so maybe he could take a page from his son on working hard

Maybe i misremember the commercial but i thought the Dad was proud of him and was just driving around watching his son at his job?

His son works for Progressive. Named that because the founder is politically a progressive prick.

I would disown the sign twirling little loser.

Dad's the same guy as the surgeon who just got reinstated. "You nervous? Yeah me too... I'll see you in there."

After some thought, I'm going to say you're making that up.
