Flo does dirty stuff…

I've got a high school classmate that had been badgered by friends to go as Flo for Halloween one year and finally did it.

She nailed it pretty well.

Aunt Jemima toured for ads for decades I think

Does Justin Long count? Was Mac Guy in the Mac vs PC adds from the early 2000s, and it's now PC guy. Does it count as the same as campaign when you switch sides?

I wonder what years Colonel Sanders was making appearances for KFC… couldn't find it quickly.

I was at the Batt the year Col Sanders died, back when the AP used to send us black and white mugshots of people who were often in the news that we would then scan. The name of the Pic of Sanders was icantbelievewehadthis.jpg

How long was Dave Thomas (Wendy's) and the Men's Warehouse Guy on?

George Zimmer!!!! That was a long time!


He's not national, but it's gotta be Mattress Mack in Houston! And for total number of unique ads, it's definitely him. He has to be pushing 40 years.

Good call. I remember that guy from way back in 1983 or 1984. His ads were annoying as f*** when I'd be up late at night watching TV.

Yes they were. And are. But he's the man.

If he ran for mayor of Houston he would win in the biggest landslide in the history of all elections.

Agreed. Even for a sip.

That man has done so much for people in Houston and the area. Would never have seen anything coming like that with those early 80s commercials.

Great job reading the OP.

They both owned their company, so I think don't think they really count.

---

Not sure it matters but Dave Thomas retired from Wendy's in 1982, and returned to the company in 1989 as a spokesperson. He eventually appeared in 800 commercials for the chain, after his retirement.

JK Simmons/Farmers has been going since 2010.

Flo has been at it since 2008.

Dean Winters/Mayhem Allstate since 2010

Dennis Haysbert has been with Allstate since 2003.

---

Dennis Haysbert is more of a spokesperson than a character. And reprising a role from twenty years before to make a Super Bowl ad is not quite the same as doing it continously.

Is JK Simmons still the Yellow M&M?

I'm a flesh-eating bacteria. If left unchecked, I could become gangrenous and you'll start losing fingers and toes to me. And if you have cut-rate Obamacare health insurance, you may wind up paying for it yourself. So get Allstate health insurance and protect yourself from mayhem, like me.

Yeah, Allstate probably doesn't have health insurance.

The 57-year-old actor contracted a bacterial infection in June 2009 that put him in cardiac arrest for more than two minutes, he recounted to Page Six in a new interview. Though paramedics were able to resuscitate him during the ambulance ride to the hospital, Winters needed multiple operations and developed gangrene a month later, which required the amputation of two of his toes and half of a thumb.

That's lhow I like to imagine Lily from AT&T

Nah. She got all whiny about people looking at her boobs a few years back.

While posting photos of them in low cut outfits all over social media frequently with her mom cheering her on in the comments.

Laurel Coppock has been the Toyota pitch girl since 2012. Not the longest but longer than I thought.

Does Jordan count? His first Nike commercial was in '84 and he had one in 2023 .

This is a tough one. I'm gonna vote no, he doesn't count because the shoe is named and based off of him, making him have ownership of it. I know he doesn't own nike. Good one though.

Flo isn't selling Flo coverage, she is a spokesperson/advertiser for Progressive. Joe Namath wasn't selling Namath pantyhose.


Here's a different one, what about George Zimmer from the Men's Warehouse? I think he was the CEO, not the owner. I don't know what I think about his situation.

He was the President of the Men's Warehouse. He said it in every commercial.

George Zimmer doesn't count.
