Have I managed to go twenty fuckin minutes in the last five fuckin years without you making your company known to me through TV, radio, skywriting, print ads or blipverts? I’m still not using your services. Let it fuckin go already, bitches. ---

At least Geico tries to be witty with their commercials… ---

What’s really important here is that I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. I really did! ---

I saved even more by living in a city with decent transit and not needing or owning a car. But they don’t want you to hear that. ---

Turn off the TV, go outside, take a walk, get some fresh air. Why, it’s so easy, a _caveman_ can do it. ---

I hate seeing the same thing over and over. That’s why I come here. You wouldn’t believe how many permutations are possible with two cases of letters, punctuation, spaces, and all that kind of stuff. ---

I saved money on my car insurance by ditching Geico at the first sign of shenanigans and going with esurance. I run an advertising agency. I hate Geico ads. No, I do not work with any of their competitors. ---

Speaking as a guy, in my opinion there are far too many ads for car insurance and nowhere near enough ads modeling ladies underwear . ---

[QUOTE=Lionne] But the lizard is cute! And ever so dapper. [/QUOTE] He freaks me the fuck out. The latest commercial, where he says “Hi, how you doin’? All right?” to a passer-by always makes me shout at the TV, “RUN! A FUCKING LIZARD IS TALKING TO YOU! RUN AWAY!” Is he supposed to be Australian? Cockney? A denizen of one of the inner circles of Hell? ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] “RUN! A FUCKING LIZARD IS TALKING TO YOU! RUN AWAY!” [/QUOTE] With the correct drugs, this sort of thing can be quite amusing. “Hey! A talking lizard! Hey little guy, how you doing?” A friend of mine once spent the better part of an afternoon in deep conversation with a toad at the base of a pine tree. When we tried to get him to come into the house, he said, “Later! This is fascinating!” ---
