I like the reality show spoof, Geico Tiny House, too. The gecko remains my all-time favorite though. I have been mighty impressed with the ad agency that does Geico's commercials.

I love the one with the dachsund and his little dachsund shaped stuffed animal.

Agree 100%

A few weeks back a FReeper wrote the following:

MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.
MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.
MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.

I'm still chuckling over that!

Interesting........I HATE that commercial; I find it supremely sad. It's basic message is "I cannot stand having my own children around and can't WAIT to shuffle them off to the public school system to get them out of MY hair." Think about that for a minute, just exactly what that means......

I really like the one with all the cats. I love the dancing dog, the cat party while owners are away and surprise them upon returning. Animals in ads always get my attention.

WHAT?

[capt. norm]

Thanx. I will have some fun with that.

I don't really dislike cats. I have my own cat, a black cat, "Panther", whose mom was Siamese but she partied with a regular black cat and she lives with three parakeets who she doesn't bother and a large Amazon parrot who she doesn't dare bother.

I keep wondering how someone can go through daily life after being in that commercial.

As long as he gets rid of his condition in under 4 hours everything should be fine.

Yes, I suppose one can take it that way...personally I loved having my boys around during the summer, and was sad to see them return to school..I always had the whole neighborhood group of kids at my house all summer long, and found it to be a fun time...

But that commercial, just strikes a funny note with me...I just found it humorous...

[R. Scott]

Yes, only creepy, toenail-snapping Digger the Dermatophyte is more hated

Definitely on my list of commercials that cause me to immediately switch channels. It makes my toes hurt. It’s right up there with the Billy Mays ads. He’s very hard on my ears – and I really hate to be yelled at.
Head On doesn’t bother me a bit.

[KoRn]

I've never actually watched that commercial, but when I have FNC on while I'm on the computer I hear it quite allot on weekends, and IT'S ANNOYING AS HELL to listen to 6 times an hour! lol

[packrat35]

I like cats also. Got 7 at present, as momma cat had kittens 4 months ago. Had 3 birds but the last batch of kittens ate the birds, so we gave up on birds right now.

And malibu Rum!

"I just want a melon."

Ads with Jamaicans ROCK!

[Quigley]

Hi I'm John Sherer CEO and founder of Video Professor you can learn valuable computer skills now for free...just a small shipping and handling charge and I'll send you Video Professor and you can learn valuable computer skills too..Try my product..

I hate that commercial and I hate John Sherer too...Dish Network plays it at least a hundred times everyday on every channel..makes me gag.

[mupcat]

There's one for Smashbox cosmetics for QVC that has been running for days in our area 24/7 on all channels. Boy I'd hate to foot that bill. Very, very annoying!

[HungarianGypsy]

Oh, right! I forgot. Male enhancement. Not erectile dysfunction. I asked my husband how that actor could possibly go out in public after those commercials. He said, "At least everyone knows he's big now." LOL!

[geege]

The "Little Richard" one is really hysterical:-)
