I am soo sick of there commericals,
i was watching some shows i recored over the weekend, and every other commerical seems to be for geico. The cave man thing is getting old and beat to death and the ones on time spent on the internet ones, are so bad that i turn off the tv or put on mute until the commericals are over.

even if i need insurance right now, i would not use them for annoying me now.

I like you too. Hey, you just hijacked your own thread!


Luckily, we don't get Geico commercials here. But we have our own annoying ones. There's a local store called "Dodd's Furniture" and because of the commercials, we avoid that place at all costs. The Dodd owner-guy dresses up in the commercials. He's tried to be Captain Jack (Johnny Depp he ain't), the Hulk, Spider Man, and many others I don't even want to try to remember!

Yea I knew when I was considered a student again: I began to receive junk mail for credit card applications.

Anyways, I agree, the caveman thing IS OLD. What happened to the commercial with the bunnies getting their rabbits feet reattached? I liked that commercial...and we need more like that.

That commercial was so funny! The best part about it was when they had the bunny swimming in the tub in slow motion.

In case you missed it:

I'd forgotten about that one! I thought that was so cute


I like the Geico commercials, but they do play them too much. Especially the caveman one. But, you got to admit, they are memerable.

The Geico ones are suffering from too many showings. They were fresh at the beginning but now, ho-hum. I can't believe they are talking about making a series with the cavemen.

I actually had once set of commercials repulse me so badly that I stopped using the product. I had been going to Quizno's every once in a while but when they started with the road-kill puppets, I was so turned off that I've been there maybe once in the last 2 years.

I'm tired of the ones with the gecko talking but still like the one with the squirrels, though.

Around here it's Crazy Larry (furniture store) and Ra & Ben (a tire store's redneck takeoff of Uni, Roy, & Al).
