Arnold’s latest ads for Progressive Insurance (the one above and a second one here) show guys in sleek black motorcycle outfits doing household tasks like folding laundry and hammering nails to hang paintings. The work is slightly creepy, in a good way. First of all, the woman in the “Towels” spot above is the same woman from the M&Ms ad where the Blue M&M licks himself—guess she’d had enough of that behavior. The point of these ads: If these guys had used Progressive, their hogs would be out of the shop, and they’d be riding.
