Not sure it could be done today. Back then, it was parody. Poking some light fun at PC types who are easily offended. Would trigger some people today and the company would get a lot of heat. We've fallen a long way in a short time.

I think the dr teaching people to not be their parents is progressive, but I would be willing to watch an entire show dedicated to that premise

While the Progressive commercials are funnier, whichever ad-team Geico hired deserves credit for their campaign. The fencing, clogging, rat/Ratt, ant/aunt, pipes ones are pretty damn clever. I wonder what else they have left.

Also, the Tag Team one is pretty catchy too.

Progressive commercials with "Dr. Rick" helping new home owners to stop becoming they're parents are the best

Yes, I love the Progressive campaign with the parents.

The new one where the guy asks if he was hashtagging cracks me up

The raised by wolves one deserves a mention also.
