The little piggy was my favorite of that Geico series, along with the drill sargeant psychologist. ---

That piggy commercial was by far the worst of all the GEICO commercial. The joke was lame to begin with, but for some reason, they insisted on running it again and again. This seems to be a trend. A product can have a series of clever and funny commercial, but one dud, and it’s the dud that gets all the airplay and sequels. ---

I love Maxwell. Great commercial. ---

It’s so hard to understand what Maxwell says in the new commercial but I think it’s “Pure… adrenaline”. That first word is quite indistinct. ---

It’s handy that he’s flying in the new commercial. Where’s my shotgun? PULL! Pork chops for dinner tonight, ham and bacon for breakfast tomorrow, and no more freaking pig screams. What’s not to like? ---

Its less disturbing than that other new insurance commercial with the “floo bot”. Floo is kinda hot. That Floo Bot made my thing hide like a frightened turtle. ---

I like the little piggy, but I miss his head out the car window, with his pinwheel. But hey, this time we get to see his feet. ---

A product can have a series of clever and funny commercial, but one dud, and it’s the dud that gets all the airplay and sequels. Nah. Maxwell rocks. The cavemen commercials are the ones that really sucked. This isn’t anywhere near as good as the original Maxwell commercial, but I like it enough. ---

I like it not so much for the commercial, but for the cute piggy’s screen time.
