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!!

There is some commercial with a young couple kissing and the old couple across the street watching because the young couple doesn't have any curtains (I think the commercial is for money management of something). Anyway, the best part is when the old woman wakes her husband up to watch and he looks across the way, sees the young couple and shouts, "Jackpot".

All time worst: The "Fitness Made Simple" commercials with John Basedow. Cheesey, repetitive music and Mr. Basedow's really awful toupee make it impossible to watch.

All time fav: Get in my belly!! :o)

I suppose if you don't watch ESPN or the NFL channel you may not have seen the ads for fantasy football but they are funny, funny, funny.

My favorite is the one with the guy who can't pronounce the name of his draft pick. "T.J. Housemandidee. Who? T.J. Whosyourmamma. Do you mean T.J. Houshmandzadeh of the Cincinnatii Bengals? Thats it! Put in on the board. Championship.

The British accented Geko drives me nuts.
Causes an instant 'mute' or 'channel' punch.

IMHO,The best commercials are during the NASCAR races.
Esp like the Carl Edwards/ Mark Martin commercial with Mark supposedly back flipping across the room.

"Crazy old man" LOL

Or the "Newman!" commercial.

Speaking of toes and commercials, have you seen the one for the cartoon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? The 'Hot Toe Picker' one? It's horridly stupid and yet everyone in my house goes around saying it.

I thought at first the one with Burt Bacharach was Lurch from the Addams Family. I don't like this set of Geico commercials.

I like the Broan commercial where the guy keeps flipping a switch and he says "honey it's not working". She is looking in on him from another room and comnments "oh, it's working" as his comb over is drawn straight up into the air by the silent fan above.

I enjoy the Fedex commercial where it shows a group of yes men sitting around a table. The board chairman asks for cost cutting ideas, and a person speaks up and says "well, we could logon to Fedex.com and save 15% in shipping costs" The chairman ignores him and afew seconds later comes up with the same exactly worded idea, and all the yes men say great idea chief.
