What's your take on Geico's "little piggy" commercial?

I picked the last option, even though it’s not perfect. I can see why people might like it, but I didn’t find it funny. In fact, here’s a picture of me while watching it…

The commercial reminds me of an old Benny Hill routine.

Benny Hill, as drunken dinner guest: “Can I go wee now?”
Embarrassed host: “Yes, of course.”
Benny Hill: “Wheeee!”

I liked it the first couple of times but now it is annoying.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Some of them are gems. I like the Randy Johnson one and the Elmer Fudd one. The Abe Lincoln one is pure genius. Suppose that was the night they were to attend the theater, but canceled because Mary was in a snit… But, we’ll never know about that, will we?

I do like the piggy one, and for the same reasons everyone else had. The pig sticking his head out the van window and holding the pinwheels. The pig’s nonchalance at the end. “Oh, cool. Thanks, Mrs. A.” And I do pause on it and watch if I’m fast-forwarding through commercials on the DVR. I voted #2 on the poll.

My favorite is the Abe Lincoln one.

I’d rate it as roughly above average. I don’t actually laugh, but it makes me smirk a little.

Fucking annoying.

Hate this commercial. In general I am not a fan of geico commercials. I am a big fan of R. Lee Ermey but I don’t even like his commercial. He doesn’t get to use any of his best lines from Full Metal Jacket

I fucking hate this commercial and am actually astonished that people like it.

I don’t like it THIS much, but Diosa has it pegged what people do like about it. Now, I prefer the R. Lee Ermy commercial. Heck, he made the Texas Chainsaw Masscre reboots worthwhile! I’m mildly amused by the Bird in the Hand one.

That one has lead me to start seriously abusing the ability to call people a “jackwagon”. :slight_smile:

I don’t want to like it, but it makes me giggle.

I’m so glad someone started a thread on this commercial. I too will stop fast forwarding to watch it. I will also then rewind, wait for my boyfriend to come in from a smoke and then watch it again with him.

The only current commercial that comes close to holding a candle to this one, in my opinion, is M&M’s.

“You get in the bowl.”

But in a deathmatch, the piggy has it.

Your boyfriend smokes? And chooses it over watching TV with you?
And you’re OK with that?
And what did he say when you’ve said “Look, it’s the pig or the cig.”
You have said that, right?
[/sanctimonius ex-smoker who likes the pig]

But seriously, he’d rather suck on burning leaves than laugh at that pig?

Dear god almighty. I’m glad I rarely see commercials. That was retarded and the human race deserves to die off entirely because of that commercial. I now hope global warming is not only real, but irreversible and catastrophic.

It’s a talking pig!! You can’t just kill and eat it.

Cut off one ham at a time.

Looks like somebody needs a tissue because he’s in Mamby Pamby land!

I like it, but only find it mildly humorous. Mostly I think it’s appealing because it’s so damn cute…

I’m going to semi-hijack this thread. I saw a new commercial with the Boss and the Gecko that I thought was pretty funny.

I voted that it’s fairly humorous, because it is. But it’s not nearly as funny as this.
