PROGRESSIVE recently launched the 'Parentamorphosis' campaign that features two commercials of adults turning into stereotypical middle-aged parents after purchasing a home. The first video shows two couples meeting for dinner, one of whom recently purchased a house who acts with antiquated mannerisms including asking a waitress what she's studying and how she hopes to make money.
The second video shows a wife who's afraid of her husband who has changed completely after their home purchase. In a thriller-themed video, she attempts to hide from her partner who pop-ups to say hilarious and "uncool" things throughout the video. The two commercials end by stating: "PROGRESSIVE can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you buddle with us."
