As a retired meteorologist, you should be ashamed of yourself for lying to people for a career concealing the truth of geo engineering and weather modification.
Can I just say that I'm old enough to be one of these poor sufferers' parents?... and that I think these commercials are brilliant. And we could use the rain.
I love being called out by Dr. Rick and I am not even a "young home owner"! But, I been doing this for yrs and texting my kids pics of tv weather alerts!!!
@@ikeyial My husband and I are 61 and 62 years old... We are retired and I keep having to remind him that this is totally US. We could actually be the grandparents of those people. 🤣🤣🤣
We used to laugh when my father-in-law would talk incessantly about the weather. Now that my husband is retired, I get weather reports first thing in the morning, including the temperatures around the country where our kids live. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, so I know back in the day I think Geico tried to make a TV series out of the Caveman, and it didn't work, but honestly Dr. Rick has a good chance. Millennials becoming their parents, part horror, part DIY, part comedy.
I will admit I became my father because I fall asleep watching baseball games and or the history channel or Smithsonian channel watching old ww2 shows about u boats etc. So I'm not innocent in all this but this weather one and my wife NAILED IT hahahahaaaa
My daughter says to me all the time especially when I'm driving "I'm calling Dr.Rick😂😂😂 yep I know I've turned into my parents! I love these commercials and yes this should become a show, I'd definitely watch it 😂😂😂
I😂😂😂😂😂 so hard this is my wife. She literally sits watches the weather channel and talks about storms in states across the country. Any sort of thunder head oh oh lookat that. Or every thunder storm honey look omg I've NEVER seen the sky like this before ever... I look out the window sigh.... same as it ever was hahaha jajajaja
I grew up in Florida where in the 1950a - 60s the only change in weather was a 4:00 - 4:15 pm shower and the occasional hurricane. When we' city slickers would travel to Georgia we found all this weather, pigs, and crops "news" hilarious ... concluding that there wasn't much newsworthy happening in the state. Moving to Nebraska showed me that weather was very much something to which one needed to pay attention. We'd had some spectacular weather and so in my thirties I wrote my mother about it. I got ripped a new one by her for only talking about weather, which in her mind was something one talked about when there was a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y nothing else to say. 🤣
Progressive clearly spied on my father to make this commercial. He'll tell anyone that will listen (or not) abt dew point vs humidity; tracks storms street by street like he invited them for dinner and texts me and my brother abt weather in states none of us live in
My adult life has gone from the evolution of Budweiser's "Real Men of Genius", to Terry Tate: Office Linebacker, to Rob Lowe's DirecTV commercials, to Dr. Rick. Honorary mention to the Geico gecko and caveman.
"We really needed this rain."
The best part of my Mom living with me is the 24 hour weather updates
I call it the Mom Gazette.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know exactly what you mean. She's knocked on my door at least 5x today to give me the same weather updates I get on my phone as her. Lololol
@@abeau2731Ha! I asked for it when I got my mom an iPhone -- screen grabs of her "weather kitty" and other very important push notifications.
This whole ad campaign is sheer genius. One of the all-time greatest, IMO.
💯
Agreed. Most commercials I see are so annoying and terribly unfunny, but these progressive becoming your parents commercials are actually really funny
These Dr Rick commercials are the best!
I agree 💯😂
I never thought I would say these words: my favorite commercial!!
As a retired meteorologist, this one hits home. Absolutely brilliant!
Just saw it on TV, related far too much and looked it up on youtube to send it to a bunch of fellow met friends.
😂😂😂
@tfk_001 😂😂😂

@@absolute.freedom and you should probably be in therapy
These are comedy gold. They need to create a Dr. Rick tv show, please!!
These little segments are so clever! Everyone can laugh at them and ourselves.
Bro I had to search this up after watching the ad..Just to show my parents😭😭😭 I love these so much
As an atmospheric scientist this is completely on point.
Can I just say that I'm old enough to be one of these poor sufferers' parents?... and that I think these commercials are brilliant. And we could use the rain.
These commercials are great! What a nice break from....well, other commercials. Thank you!
I love these commercials 😂and the music is perfect
As a weather nerd you’ve knocked it out of the park!!
I love these commercials! This one is great. 😊
Dr. Rick: honorary member of the American Meteorological Society.
Love Dr Rick cant get enough of him. 😅
I love being called out by Dr. Rick and I am not even a "young home owner"! But, I been doing this for yrs and texting my kids pics of tv weather alerts!!!
Ditto 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Oh theres a [flash] flood warning in Louisiana"
Thats been me since high school
As a meteorologist, this is pure gold lol
The don't be your parents are my favorite commercials 😂
Dr. Rick is an excellent life coach; we need more people like him.
I feel personally attacked.
😂ditto
Same here. I'm only 36.
My family did nothing but laugh out loud and point at me!!!
Me too. We should sue. LOL!
@@Mrtraveler01😂
I am a bank teller and your commercials give me ideas of things to talk about with our customers haha 😂
Paused the show I’m watching because it wouldn’t let me rewind your commercial to see it from beginning. Best commercials ever love them
As a person in their mid 30's, this is absolutely true.
Omg! I absolutely love these ads.
More Dr. Rick!! We love these commercials.
@@ikeyial My husband and I are 61 and 62 years old... We are retired and I keep having to remind him that this is totally US. We could actually be the grandparents of those people. 🤣🤣🤣
@@elizabethlander2411you and your husband are not alone. I am in my 40’s and I need Dr. Rick too😂😂😂
"Seems more like 40 percent to me." Yep, that's my dad all right.
Opps, I have turned into my dad with 3 weather apps on my phone and knowing which one has the better features with what is happening outside.
I love this !!😅 Lots of new Dr. Rick commercials!
You gotta love Dr Rick!!
We used to laugh when my father-in-law would talk incessantly about the weather. Now that my husband is retired, I get weather reports first thing in the morning, including the temperatures around the country where our kids live. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Y’all forgot about the mom or dad who says something like, “ we’re about to get some kind of precipitation. My knees/bones hurt.”
Best commercial I have seen in a long time!
I love it! And I know NO ONE like this either!!
This is so funny...me and they guys at work keep talking about the weather... hilarious
Well done #ProgressiveInsurance! At #vortexweatherinsurance we're weather nerds and we know it!
Hey, you can’t blame me for preparing, it’s good information
Always when I talk to family..."what's the weather like there?"
Dr. Rick is where it's at!
As a meteorologist I’m honored progressive did this! 🤓🥸
“The stuff they on the green screen is unbelievable” 😂
"it's got nothing to do with the dew point." 😅😅
Lol, Dr. Rick is a national treasure.
Wait, these aren't supposed to apply to *me*! Weather is very important! 😂
My wife saw this and pointed to me!
I have definitely said the “seems more like 40% to me” line before.
Tom still wearing one of his identical light blue striped crew shirts lol😮
But Dr. Rick, if we don't watch the weather for the impending storms, how will we know to bring in our lawn chairs that we just re-webbed?
Dr. Rick: You people have an app on your phone.........USE IT!!
This is so true 😂
The only thing missing is the dad looking at the weather going "its raining everywhere around us! Just not here." with a heavy sigh 😂
Dear Dr. Rick, If my kids call, they are overreacting. I don't need help.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unless you are in Florida
I mean look at Milton on the green screen! lol
the stuff they do on the green screen. hysterical🤣🤣he is my favorite
Flood warning in Louisiana 😆
I hope it doesn’t rain after I wash the trash cans! Hysterical!
@@NancyBrennan-n5x 🫢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My roommate and I found ourselves talking about how soft or rough we prefer our towels last week so is say this is spot on
Best commercial of 2024
My daughter says to me all the time especially when I'm driving "I'm calling Dr.Rick😂😂😂 yep I know I've turned into my parents! I love these commercials and yes this should become a show, I'd definitely watch it 😂😂😂
This is my husband to a tee! He gets obsessed with weather forecasts regardless of location 😂😄
These commercials are so much better than the ones with Flo.
You betcha! I agree!
That’s me. I’m guilty of being a nerd for weather channels. 😅
I've been Dr. Ricked 💕
I feel like I am attacked here. lol
"It has nothing to do with the dew point." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, I'm going in!
Weather geeks keep the rest of you knuckleheads safe. Youre welcome!!!
I😂😂😂😂😂 so hard this is my wife. She literally sits watches the weather channel and talks about storms in states across the country. Any sort of thunder head oh oh lookat that.

Don't stop doc 😂😂😂
Progessive hits home LOL!
Thank you, Progressive Insurance!
BTW - you always offered the most affordable motorcycle insurance.
OMG - that's me!
Apparently, I've turned into my parents. My Dad had a barometer, but now there's an app for that :)
Where is the one I just saw about the college friend in Omaha?? I must share it!!
“And you live.. not in Omaha.”
Came here looking for the same thing 😂😂
I feel like this will be me one day 😂 I stay checking my weather app
😂😂😂 my husband!!
Ooooooh I am so so BUSTED
"Yep, they're calling it an atmospheric river" 😂😂
But we need the rain ☔.
Omg best one so far!!!! So me!!!!!😅
I'm feeling called out. Let me be interested in weather without judgement lol
Lol!! 48-year-old husband, father of three My wife and I laughed so hard at this one that’s me all the way
The extra part not played on “tv” is great 🤣 how many people is he going to call? His parents the neighbor 🤣
LOL !!! Love It !😂
My dad was ranting about weather updates every 9 minutes on local news broadcasts just before this ad aired, and it was like a catharsis of sorts.
I love the guy explaining to someone over the phone “ it doesn’t have anything to do with the dewpoint “ 😂
They said 10% chance of rain
Seems more like 40% to me!
*NOPE.*

I'm also a Floridian. Born in Miami in 1962. I totally get it 😂
Lol, part of Nebraska is actually on the doppler radar shown at 0:15
This hits too close to home. 😂
Progressive must have observed my husband to inspire this. Drives me NUTS!
When you Start watching The Bear and immediately recognize Pete from the Dr. Rick commercials 🤣 This one is fantastic!
SPOT ON❤️🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...Whoaaa Ho hooo...Look at that jet stream😂😂
