As I pointedly note to my wife?
“It’s nice this gig got her off the street for a while...”
Yes, I really find their commercials that despicable. Right up there with Burger King, the Lizard, the Caveman...
For me, I think it’s the the clinical whiteness of the set of the commercials. Calls to mind things like euthanasia, forced sterilizations, etc. associated with the Progressive movement. In another context, I doubt I’d find Flo as troubling.
This is one of the best gigs possible for an actress that didn’t break into the inner circle. She will be recognized more than most in Hollywood, works consistently (until the unthinkable) and has a character people love or hate. I loved someone’s earlier comment about their 18 month old running to the TV when she comes on. Great gig, good choice on character...
Compare that to the current bad gig...
“Bloating...gas...indigestion”
“Hey aren’t you the colon lady?”
“That’s me, the Colon Lady!”
GAG
And what role is June Alison remembered for?
Flo is the current Madge. But cuter!
