My favorites are the GEICO cavemen (can’t wait for the TV series!! LOL) and the worst is probably the GEICO gecko.

Aunt Jemima’s not annoying. We never had to hear or even watch her even in the TV age. She’s just a pix on a bottle.

Yes. Didn’t they try to call that the “Whatzit”, or something like that? Because it was nothing anyone could identify. Totally stupid.

But it didn’t get in my face enough to “annoy” me as certain other things....!

Currently, anything pitching Geico (the stupid lizard or the whole “caveman” thing).

I kind of like the cavemen (puts a spin on this PC stuff). But I HATE the gecko, and pretty much all the other Geico garbage.

Part of the problem is the ADS NEVER STOP. Literally every other ad on TV AND radio (even local) is Geico. I sick of those jackasses.

I did too. At first. Then they went so completely overboard with it that I'm sick of it. It doesn't help that Geico is constantly listed in the top 5 ad buyers out there, so there's always a Geico commercial on no matter what you're watching.

Mr. Whipple.
I consciously refused to ever consider buying Charmin because of that guy.

I agree. Closely followed by the Quaker Oats guy with the creepiest.music.ever.

And what’s with the CG Orville Redenbacher pitching stuff AFTER he’s been dead for awhile? Very creepy.
