First commercial post here.



Seriously, nothing else annoys me more then seeing this damn commercial over and over again, we get it, Geico you want us to sign on with you but that's never happening. I will never sign on with you!

The pathetic sounds from these teens is just aggravating. Should they even be considered teens.

UGH. I just can't anymore. Just know that I hate this commercial and am SICK of seeing it. -.-

Go figure I'm one of the few who like this commercial. It is so spot on. The young buff 20 somethings acting clueless. And of course the obligatory girl in the mini skirt. For once an actual clever commercial and from Geico nonetheless.
I approve this message.

I never really cared for this for some reason. I mean, it doesn't look bad, but it probably comes from my hatred towards insurance commercials.

I was actually going to post this one a few days ago. I actually liked this one, even if it's for GEICO. The guy on the left kind of reminds me of Justin Long. Made me think of Jeepers Creepers.
Say something clever here...

No, I'm too lazy. Imagine it yourself.

I'm no fan of horror movies....at least not the ones featuring teen being slashed etc. So I don't really understand the point behind this ad, other than the kids shown are absolutely stupid.
Geico ads suck, so add this one to the scrap heap of annoying ads from that company.
Will I ever purchase their insurance?

The only way you can't love this commercial is if you thought it was serious and became disappointed when you found out it wasn't for a real movie.
 
Yup! One of the bettter commercials running, right now.
For some reason, the guy, with his look and the way he responds, reminds me of Nicholas Cage in another very bad movie....but the girl and her whimpering "Why can't we just get in the running car?" ?! Too, too funny! She has a future.

Thank you for adding that annoying pronunciation error to this annoying ad. I know the folks where I come from have some strange pronunciations as well, but it's our language! I also hate when I hear the word w-a-t-e-r pronounced wooder....or c-r-e-e-k pronounced crick.

I hate the "whore' pronunciation, too.  Just as bad, though, is when New Yorkers pronunce it "hah-ruh".

It's obvious that you haven't watched many horror movies.  The teen victims in them are almost always stupid....  LOL

Everyone knows the proper way to pronounce w-a-t-e-r is "warter." Or Coors.

I grew up pronouncing "horror" in the way you guys described. Pronouncing it the other way is just sounds weird to me, personally. :p

LOL: You'd hate it here in my hometown of Baltimore. We have that weird accent that's equal opportunity. Our accent is so awful that whether you are rich or poor you sound ignorant or as we say here in "Bawlimer Hon: Iggerant." Gotta git me some wooder from the zink. (LOL)

Actually that's exactly the point Wink  In your general horror/slasher, there are always boneheaded choices made by the characters which lead to their inevitable deaths. 

In your prototypical slasher flick, make sure to do the following in order to avoid surviving:

1) Always split up - it's safer to be alone than in the group
2) If you hear a noise, be sure to investigate it. And if it's dark, don't bother bringing a light source.
3) If there's a knock on the door or a phone ringing, answer it.  It may just be a singing telegram, but it could be the killer and you need to make sure he/she knows you're home.
4) If the killer's in the house, run UPSTAIRS where you can't escape nearly as easily as on the ground floor.
5) If you think you've killed the killer? Instead of doing the logical thing and getting as far away as possible, stick around.  Check his vitals, make sure he's dead because he likely isn't i.e. the fun's not over yet.
6) If you're a female, show your tits.  If you're a male, hit on every female possible. Promiscuous qualities tend to move you to the front of the killer's line
7) You find yourself a dead body, either fresh or decaying? Scream as loud as humanly possible so the killer knows where you are.
8) If you happen to run into Jamie Lee Curtis, you're in luck.  She's almost always gonna be the sole survivor, so you're most likely dead even if you ignore the first 7 guidelines.

When I was in high school, it seemed like we went to a horror film every weekend - "Friday the 13th", "Halloween" "The Amityville Horror" and this commercial cracks me up because that's exactly what was going on. Brings a nostalgic smile to me.

This month is loaded with horror films. IFC had the original Exorcist on last night. I can't wait to see the original Carrie again. The mother's scene "with the smell of whiskey on his breath... and then he took me.. and I liked it I LIKED it" is an old high school joke.

The Plainfield-Edison Drive-In was where I saw a lot of horror movies as a teen.  I remember one night, trippin' on LSD, and going there to see Night of the Living Dead, Last House on the Left and Don't Look in the Basement.  There were also two undergroundish cartoons---Heavy Traffic and Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat.  This establishment clearly knew its clientele.

I noticed it was on there, preceded by the original Nightmare on Elm Street.   I'm glad networks are airing originals and not the crap remakes/reimaginings from the last decade plus.

Someone needs to air Terror Train, dammit LOL I haven't seen that one since I was a kid, but all I remember is the masks scared the crap out of me.  I remember an old man type mask and a Groucho Marx looking mask.

The Exorcist was a fond memory on a lot of levels.
An R rated movie in Jr. high, a small town cozy theater, sitting next to a girl for 2 hours, good thing I didn't know what to do.

I have to say here, "hiding behind the chainsaws" is really bothering me.
 
For anyone who has either operated or sharpened a chainsaw, the stupid Geico horror kids are not aware that just bumping into one of the teeth on a saw is enough to leave a serious cut.
Mr. sleeveless guy is practically making love to one of them.

I love horror films and liked this commercial at first, but of coarse every commercial I like quickly changes due to over playing. 

Oh, yes glad I'm not the only one that thinks that kid looks like Justin Long
