At the rate Geico airs commercials on TV I'd say that would be in about a week. |

Maxwell the Pig? Really? It sounds like Geicrap now holds the record for most commercial mascots.
The Gecko was ok until being run into the ground, the Flintjerks were all right until they were rammed into the ground too, and now MAXWELL?! THE STUPID PIG?! Great. At this rate they'll run out of mascots. |

Who in the f**k would want to download this annoying sh*t? I can't stand it on my TV, so why would I want it on my computer? Why would somebody want it on their phone? God help you if you want to watch football. We've got a back-to-back line-up of the annoying cast of characters shat out by the asshole that is Geico Marketing. Caveman in a cheerleader uniform, Caveman playing Scrabble and arguing with some dude, Maxwell the Pig zip-lining, the Gecko walking down a bridge in 'NUEW YOOOAAAWWWK', the Gecko square-dancing in Texas. Jesus God, I can't take it.
It's becoming a troupe of characters that very few people actually like. Before this we had the combined efforts of standard suit-and-tie overly dramatic spokesperson guy and Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. When will it end? I want to take all of these characters, crumple them into a ball, and ram them up the Geico Marketing execs ass, back from where they came! This constant bombardment makes me want to go take a sh*t on the table where they hold these meetings and come up with this bullsh*t. These are the LAST things I need to be thinking about whilst I'm watching football. Also, may I ask, do these f**king ad execs honestly think that people change their car insurance provider on a whim? 'Oh, I like Geico's commercials, I think I'll switch to them.' How stupid do they think people are? All it boils down to is one big dick-waving contest. 90% of the Geico commercials that I've seen have NOTHING to do with car insurance. A pig ziplining doesn't relate to auto insurance, cavemen being idiots doesn't relate to auto insurance, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman yelling at some dude has nothing to do with auto insurance. Bottom line? At least State Farm, Progressive and Nationwide's commercials are relatively on-topic. Geico, on the other hand, can eat sh*t. |

Like Progressive (I was over Flo 1-2 years ago), Nationwide(idiot man), and State Farm (Dennis Haysbert--tho Mayhem is still good) aren't drilled into our head? Where I live they are all aired way too much. It just boils down to which insurance "characters" appeal to you. I thought the Nationwide guy was obnoxious from the first commercial and that they have never had a good commercial with
him in it.
I thought their was an "app for everything" and I have seen many that I thought were pretty stupid. How about the Cascade dish detergent or cereal or pens? We really need apps for those, eh?

Why would one need an app for insurance? I do access my insurance policy monthly, but it's just to pay the bill.

I think the thing that makes Geico the most annoying is they over-saturate the market (TV airwaves) with this stuff NONSTOP. They basically bombard you with all these stupid obnoxious commercials from all angles. Turn to NBC you got the Maxwell WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE every 15 minutes, then you put on ESPN or ABC and you got the BRIAN ORAKPO CAVEMAN SCRABBLE commercial...hell yeah..Pancake Social!!!!!!! (whatever Suit and Tie sitting in the boardroom came up with that one needs a swift kick to the genitalia. IT never ends.

I have a feeling Geico is starting to realize that their sh*tty cavemen and gecko characters are losing steam. So this is an attempt to create yet another mainstream, universally known character for their brand.

True story: Last year I was driving around the southern end of Lake Michigan on I-80 on a -very- busy sunny Sunday afternoon. What distraction do my eyes encounter? A damned plane toting a "Buy GEICO Auto Insurance" banner to and fro. I believe this to be an updated version of throwing a rock through someone's window, with the rock having a note with the address of the local glass-repair shop tied to it.

Every channel I watched today played the crap out of this commercial. I like it, but I'm getting tired of it.

At the end it says, "Everything you love about Geico, download it today" I'd like to take a big dump on the front steps of headquarters.

I was just thinking that the other day, for me personally, it seems like there are zillions of insurance commercials--I think I see more of them than any other product, by far.
I really like Maxwell, too. He's one of my top picks for the last year or so--I do think his first commercial was more aligned with the fairy tale but this one sure is cute.

Imagine how much money Geico could really save you if they weren't wasting money on new ads every single day.
Bunch of frauds. |
