OT: GEICO commercials.

[huskerfan66]

Glad the Camel and Mike, Mike Mike are back. Hump day, yeah. My favorite.

But the commercial with the new Dad calling his parents collect.,.... Classic.

Reminds me of high school. We had a pay phone in school by the weight room. After practice we would call home. You could yell into the receiver to have your parents pick you up. IF that didn't work, it was SOP to call the number back

Good commercials.
Insurance sucks.

Agree. I've been screwed by them. And glad I've had them. It's a wash.

 

[spartanhusker]

Ouch!!!
But love the commercials!

 

[spartanhusker]

Verizon on the other hand.....

Bingo!

 

[Husker Hambone]

If I see the GMC truck commercial with the chic that takes the guys $65,000 truck by saying “she loves it” instead of taking the red $70,000 SUV I’m going to jump out of my living room window!

But she likes red

 

[Husker Hambone]

No, he likes red...

 

[huskerfan66]

No, he likes red...

They both do

My Mom hates this commercial.
I can't even say what she said.
To paraphrase, lil f'n bitch.

 

[meo1960]

Did you say something about Geico???

The premise of that commercial is so ridiculous. ‘I’m going to spend $135k on cars for Christmas. Without consulting my spouse first. It’s only a $2,400 monthly payment.’

In real life that conversation for almost everybody ends doesn’t end with a wife happily snatch up the truck. It ends with divorce papers.

Just mentioned tonight how good some of geicos commercials are. Progressive has a couple too.

Yeah, I actually like the Hump Day one, but there are way too many of them that are irritating. The Cavemen commercials make me want to track down the writers of these commercials and bludgeon them. The "Going up the country" commercial makes me want to remove that writer's genes from existence.

Silicon Valley is a good show tho

Had this exact same conversation with my girlfriend two days ago...I said to her (and she drives a new truck, so it fit) "Wouldn't you want to be consulted, if only about the color, but don't you want some say in the car you're going to be driving for a few years or more"? She gave me a look that said "No shit dumbass".

 

[sloth316]

I still like the Googly Eyes Geico commercials the best

After practice and lifting we had a pay phone and everyone at home knew if the phone rang and all they heard were button tones they knew you were ready to be picked up. You could hear them but they couldn't hear you.

You apparently didn't catch the key portion of the ad where he SAVED UP TO $13,000!

Who in their right mind would pass up the opportunity to save that much money?

 

[Lincoln100]

Liberty mutual commercials hands down the worst.

Color and accessories and whatever, totally agree. But bigger picture, if I went out and made that big of a purchase without consulting my wife first, she'd be pissed. And if my wife went out and did that to me, I would be livid as well. The idea that anybody, that isn't extreme high income, would go out and make a $1,000 monthly commitment without speaking to their spouse first is ludicrous.

Reminds me of a huge sign in (I think) Sam's Club. It said: "The More You Buy, the More You Save!"

Can't argue with logic like that. Load up a second cart!!!

Don’t worry, I’m one of THE tattoo artists in the city.

Doctor: you nervous?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Me too. Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.

Not sure which cell company is doing those but they are hilarious.

Playing possum is a new Geico commercial that is funny

This a great one!

Geico could take a few lessons from the CareerBuilder.com folks. By far the best promo ad collection ever, IMO. At least the best I can remember. They were entertaining and memorable, not irritating and forgettable like most Geico commercials.

I don't care about the commercials---I had their coverage after the tornado in '15. Like a slot machine!! They paid off just fine.

Given the recent goings-on at Omaha Children's Hospital that one's a little close to home!

I like the Facebook "facetime" product ad where the parents ask the daughter if she's having a "burnt cookie party." LOL
