* ... that [[Progressive Corporation]] published five thousand copies of '''[[Dr. Rick]]'''{{'s}} book, ''Dr. Rick Will See You Now''? Source: [https://adage.com/article/marketing-news-strategy/most-popular-insurance-ad-characters-ranked/2392531 "Progressive's in-house publishing division Eleven Letter Press recently published 5,000 copies of Dr. Rick's new book"]
** '''ALT1''': ... that the '''[[Dr. Rick]]''' advertisements are based on the idea that people first experience parental [[introjection]] when buying their first home? Source: [https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/03/16/dr-rick-progressive-ad/ Talking to behavioral scientists and psychology researchers, “We found that there was a ‘grown-up switch’ that everybody has, and nobody had really mined when that switch turned on,” Charney said. The lurch into self-identified adulthood seemed to be precisely when people started becoming their parents.“We initially thought it was when people had kids,” he said. “But we found out it was when they buy homes.” Soon, homeownership-induced parental introjection was recast by Progressive as “parentamorphosis”; that campaign’s first ads debuted in 2016. Eventually, the ad series would evolve to focus on the don’t-become-your-parents evangelism of Glass’s Dr. Rick.]

|comments = {{ping|Bait30}} Shorter than usual for a DYK, but on my calculations long enough to qualify. Also an interesting presentation of a quirky subject, with (just) enough separate reliable sources to confirm notability. My only issue is with the hooks. Maybe if I'd been a resident of the USA, I would already have heard of Dr. Rick and known that he's fictional. But I'm not a resident of the USA, have never heard of Dr. Rick, and therefore both of the hooks were confusing to me before I read the article. As to the first hook, how is it interesting that some corporation of which I have never heard has published 5,000 copies of a book by an author of whom I have never heard? In this case, the answer is that the putative author is a fictional character from a series of advertisements for the corporation, but the hook gives no indication, to someone not already familiar with the putative author and/or advertisements and/or corporation, that he is fictional. Perhaps the first hook should be amended by inserting "fictional" before "Dr. Rick", but even if it were amended in that way, I wouldn't be sure whether it's really interesting enough. As to the ALT1 hook, it refers to a potentially interesting concept of [[introjection]] (of which I had similarly not previously heard), but when you click through to the article about that concept, that article includes a [[Template:Confusing]] stating "This article may be confusing or unclear to readers." Were it not for that problem, I would be inclined to prefer the ALT1 hook.
