Those GEICO commercials are freaking funny!
All other TV commercials are boring compared to them. The first time you see them you have no clue they are GEICO commercials until the very end.

Have you seen the new one with the professional wrestlers?

B-)

2. For the longest time ...
before I listened to the end of the commercial, I really thought they were making newlyweds live in a tiny, little house. :silly:

I do love those commercials.

3. I love
the speed racer one... and the Old Navy Parody. Now if they did one of the Aflac Duck... I would bow down to our new commercial overlords.

7. I love the Gecko and my favorite is when the guy and the Gecko visit
the lady with the cats. I also like the commercial where the guy and the Gecko to the "Robot."

Geico has been my auto insurance company for years. They were truly great to me when I had an auto accident a few years ago. I didn't have to pay the deductible. My 1994 Saturn was hit from behind by a 1965 Chevy pickup truck, and my Saturn bore the brunt of the damage. The truck only had a broken headlight. I'm sure Geico got the deductible money from the truck owner's insurance company.

13. I've heard other people say the same thing about the Quizno commercials
I've also noticed that talking babies seems to be a trend in commercials. Personally, I think it's just a overly cutesy gimmick.

12. They are great
The new one that I saw was a take off on an exercising machine infomercial. The marketing firm for GEICO deserves major :applause:

Plus GEICO has a classic catch phrase: "but I have good news, I saved a bunch money on car insurance".

16. Yeah, my husband actually thought that one was real
Edited on Mon May-16-05 05:51 PM by Blue_In_AK
last night. "Who would buy that piece of crap, poorly made exercise machine?" I was like, "honey, HONEY, it's a GEICO commercial." We love GEICO, too. They actually DID save us a bunch of money on our car insurance with the teenager.

15. Ha ha ha! I just thought of something.
GEICO needs to do an erectile dysfunction medication commercial.

Upon discovery of the failed results, the guy can exclaim, "But I do have some good news . . . ."

B-)
