NOT funny Geico.
STUPID is more like it I cannot find any of these "Happier than" ads that I've liked! I hate the Happy Hipster Douchebag Duo. |

I've always kind of liked the Gecko, but this series, with Gallagher et al, is really just dumb.

The saddest thing, is that almost all of these would have worked better with the 40's-ish gangster guy who compares saving money with Gieco to random things.
At least then, we didn't get the joke AFTER the punchline.

I dunno, I kinda like it. Kinda fits in with the Halloween season. BTW...... Topic: GEICO 'Witch in a Broom Factory' (vodeo) What exactly is a "vodeo"? I was expecting to see video of a rodeo. |

...the ads take aim and lay their claim to the heart and the soul of the spender

This one was a bit annoying, but I have to say, the one with Eddie Money makes me chuckle.

I actually got a laugh out of this one. The Eddie Money one is absolutely awful IMO.

That's another problem with these ads, they're just a retooling of that series! God the admen at Geico must really be hung up on stupid, one note comparisons. |

These two assclowns with the "Smothers Brothers" shtick have GOT. TO. GO.
I keep wishing John Belushi would come in and smash their instruments, or Quick-Draw McGraw would show up and give 'em the old "El Kabong" upside the head... KA-BONNNNNG!

The part in this ad where the one worker says something like "I'm going to take a stand!" and the other one says "no you're not" cracks me up.

Switching to GEICO might "make some people happier than blah blah blah....," but nothing would make me happier than seeing the brains of those two peckerweasels splattered on that hokey Vaudevillian backdrop.

I found myself laughing at the exclamations the witch yelled, now if only they get rid of the douchenozzles with the guitar and mandolin.
If it didn't include those dunderheads it would make the commercial much more tolerable, heck I wouldn't mind a reappearance of the "Could Geico save you 15 percent or more on car insurance" guy. |

They should just do "Happier than a pig in sh*t" and get it over with.

Got a point there.
Pretty sure Gallagher is a communist.
The body-builder HAS to be.
And Eddie Money?
say no more...

I'm guessing these two dbags on everyone of these ads call themselves "Pomplareindeer"...you know, since "Pomplamoose" was already taken. Eh, what's another large, hooved, herbivore to these f*&ktoids. I guarantee you they don't know squat unless they can look it up on their smartphones. Classic American mailto:dumb@sses - dumb@sses. Seriously though, these guys incite some real deep rage in me.

I love the original ad in this series (yuppies getting splattered with watermelon), but I have not enjoyed any of them since then. The "slinky on an escalator" thing is by far the worst in the series in my opinion.

I like this commercial... you got to hand it to Geico at least they have some creativity and humor in their commercials as opposed to other insurance companies garbage campaigns.. ie: Flo from pregressive, any allstate etc...

It's not creative, a 5 year old could come up with better comparisons. Plus recycling the same hackneyed ideas and having a "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" approach to advertising is just wrong.
