[Do dogs chase cats?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzFLWYF5hQU) OK, this one’s pretty funny. I like this. And believe me, they could use some insurance. ---

Anyone know what movie it’s from? ---

Dogs and Cats is the best one yet. GEICO’s commercials are usually pretty good. ---

That is so completely awesome! I love it! The fake backdrop and obvious prop car for the closups, the 70’s muscle cars skidding and flying over the camera, everything! ---

I love this commercial, but it’d be better if the dog had a siren on his car. ---

Apparently, this video is unavailable in my country. That seems odd as it I assume it’s only a TV spot for Geico. ---

The music is the best part. ---

Bullitt-esque, but not Bullitt. Can’t help identifying the movie or TV show beyond that (or at least not _the_ car chase in Bullitt). ---

I laughed so hard the first time I saw this. It’s the best one yet, IMO. ---

It would be funny, if the band Holy F\*ck hadn’t already done this 5 months ago, using the original Bullit footage for their song “Red Lights:” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/DhaRkWfaq10/maxresdefault.jpg "Holy Fuck - Red Lights") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhaRkWfaq10) Hope they got paid.
