I used to enjoy watching Geico's commercials...however, they seem to be losing their creative touch. The current Geico commercials are bizarre (IMHO). Bring back the dancing gecko!!

My favorite DJ is a guy in Cincinnati (Gary Burbank, 700 WLW in the afternoons) who does great stuff every day. On the day following election day, he plays political ads, then "blows up" each ad - hilarious! He's about the only reason I'm sorry for leaving Cincinnati in favor of Florida.

I was watching a commercial for a bank, I think it is Washington Mutual or something like that. They showed a group of guys and something struck me as strange about it.

I finally figured it out. There was a group of maybe 20 people who were all the bad guys. Every single one was a White male. There was only one good guy shown. A Black guy.

A few minutes later I saw another one and laughed. It was Truth and just about all the good guy kids were some minority, then they showed the evil Tobacco guys. Again every single one was a White male.

Worst. Commercial. Ever. goes to a radio ad that plays on Rush and other local stations in Detroit. Starts with a bass guitar, then some moron signing in a rock beat "It's time to live, the Mortgage Experts." Automatic "break-the-radio-turning-it-off." Not sure what the premise is. Maybe it's a mortgage company for zombies. Anyway, I miss a whole lot of Rush and his other advertisers for that commercial.

Donna: Are those Cotton Dockers?

Jerry: Oh, I can't begin to tell you how much I hate that commercial.

Donna: Really? I like that commercial. (Jerry pauses)

Jerry: You like that commercial?

Donna: Yeah, it's clever.

Jerry: Now wait a second, you mean the one where the guys are all standing around, supposedly being very casual and witty?

Donna: Yeah, that's the one.

Jerry: What could you possibly like about that?

Donna: I don't know, I like the guys.

Jerry: Yeah, they're so funny and so comfortable with each other, and I could be comfortable too, if I had pants like that. I could sit on a porch and wrestle around, and maybe even be part of a real bull session.

Geico's earlier ad campaign was classic; it was funny and memorable and sold the product. The new campaign, on the other hand, is just stupid and annoying.

My favorite commercial this year is probably the Pet Smart; we just got a new puppy so it appeals to me as a pet owner. However, while the Bobo commercial is cute, there's no real groundbreaking campaigns this year.

The Head On Commercial also drives me nutty (not that I have far to go...) and makes me never want to buy that stuff. Arghhh.

I can only imagine that the Head On product would make your forhead breakout. Which only makes me imagine what the FreeDhem hemerroid cream would do....and by the way...is that one a roll on too? You dont see them applying it in the ads.

My current favorite shows a deserted beach in the moonlight. The camera is facing out to see and is focused where the waves lap over the untouched sand. A wave comes up, and as it recedes you see footprints leading out of the sea. Another wave comes up and washes the footprints away. There is nothing. The moon shines on empty waves.

The logo comes up: US Navy Seals.

Beautiful. Perfect. Some ad agency employs a genius.

Head-on is awful. But we're all talking about it, so it must have worked to some degree, right?

The Snickers commercial with the guitar strumming weirds me out. I never ate the bars to begin with; now they're dead to me.

The Dunkin' Donuts commercials with the lip syncing also weird me out. They've caused me to reach the conclusion that pleather is evil.

The American Idol Ford commercials are exceptionally irritating, but hey, now at least I know about all the "possibilities" thanks to Taylor Hicks singing while flailing around like he's on fire.

Strangely enough, I find the Geico commercials with Little Richard, Charo, etc. to be funny. Heh.

There's this Ionic Breeze commercial that has this guy talking about the virtues of product all the while trying to hold up this toddler. This goes on for weeks. Then the other day I see this guy again, only now he's hold a cat.

I have to agree with the "Head-on" commercial being the worst.

Second to that one is the one with the couple who own a boutique and a customer comes in to browse with her kid in tow. The kid keeps stepping on the rug to ring the entry bell that sounds when a customer enters. Then the couple go on vacation. Several things about this ad just don't "ring" true and I find it to be racist with blacks as the target audience.
