Progressive Insurance commercials game sound fx

[Jrecee]

Anybody notice the videogame sound effects in the Progressive Insurance commercials (The annoying ones with the chick with a big mouth). A while ago I heard one and it played the Sonic Ring sound effect. Just today I saw a new one where the guy uses a price gun and it plays the Mario Coin sound effect. Weird?

Are those noises public domain yet? I've seen far worse used before. There was a UK news station that used a Panzer Dragoon track, and there was a tv spot for some series I forget that used this track from Chrono Cross:

Heh, I know of a gas station where everytime a sale is made, the register makes the Sonic Ring pick-up sound.

Shell! One near me uses it too.

As I saw this post the one with the Mario coin sound was on TV.

I know of one that does also. Plus a Jimmy John's nearby has a phone that makes the power pill noise from pacman.
