In general of course commercials are super irritating, but I find Flo to be much less irritating than others.
I'm with 6PAX, so sick and tired of the injury attorney's ads!!!! Over and over and over!!!! After those sick of the "Medicare Hotline" or whatever they are called featuring washed up stars like Joe Namath, Jimmy JJ Walker, etc. I like the old black and white Gunsmokes and these medicare ones are run like crazy. Even if I were of age I'm sure I'd still be sick of them!!!!!
So yes, Flo is okay as far as commercials go, that is.
Maybe ten years ago there was a McDonald's commericial that had two guys riding in a car having lunch, and one of them drops a french fry down between the seat and console. The scene switches to under the seat where a tribe of little jungle natives live, and when the fry falls down from heaven they were like . Then a giant hand reaches down, feels around for the fry and takes it back.
Hilarious, but they must have gotten immediate complaints because I never saw it again ever. I remember it was during one of the New Year's college football games.
Best/funniest commercials on right now are the "Mayhem" ones for Allstate...
can't stand those, and I won't watch the Law & Order SVUs with him on them. And Liberty is like fingernails on a chalkboard. About the only insurance commercials that I'll watch are Farmers and Gecko.

The vast majority of what I watch from "regular" TV gets recorded on the PVR, so I can watch at a time that suits my schedule and skip the commercials. It's awesome not having to sit through that crap.
One of the most successful marketing campaigns and brand icons in American advertising history by every single measure. So, to answer your question, a lot of people. Far more than don't.
You'll also notice that you see her less often. The Dr. Rick commercials have been a huge hit as well, and there has also been more emphasis placed on the other characters, Flo's "friends." This is to extend the Flo lifecycle as long as possible, because the Flo ad campaign has been such an enormous success.
If only Progressive put that kind of "successful effort" into paying their claims/customer service, they wouldn't be at the bottom of the heap in major Insurance overall satisfaction ratings....I cringe every time I see these stupid Progressive, Liberty Life type retard commercials....made to capture the attention of mindless minions IMHO

That's why I'm out of touch (happily). No broadcast TV for 20+ years. When I do see it by accident at someone's house, the commercials remind me of why I dumped it long ago.
Now it's racing on...
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
Can't stand any of the insurance commercials...Progressive,State Farm,Liberty Mutual or Nationwide...They all suck! shruggy
99.9% of them suck but there where a few that where interesting. Bombarding the public to use your insurance is not a good ad campaign. What they are doing is making people hate them! They should be banned like cigarette commercials! But there are more that i would add to the list like Domino's, The drug/lawyer commercials, and more recently those Public commercials are really pissing me off. What ever happened to interesting/enjoyable ads?
Those life insurance ones now with the worst actors ever, ugh! Like the one in which the family is standing around a hospital bed talking to their mom and telling her she really gave them a scare, for example. Classic example of skimping on marketing campaign.
