    Mayhem is so good, he deserves his own movie.

    I hate the Mayhem ads. Just put me ill at ease.

    Maybe because it's the weekend but let's not forget one of the best GEICO ads:

    Mike Mike Mike -- Mike!

    God damn I love that commercial. For some reason, it only showed in my region about three times before it was replaced by another of the nonstop GEICO new commercial pattern commercials.

    Loved the ones where they didn't use "real actors" so they brought in people like Don LaFontaine and Burr Bacharach and Peter Framton.

    I was hit ... in the rear ...

    Weren't there four Boyz II Men? What happened to the dude who talked over the bridge in a deep voice about how his heart hurt and he wished you would take him back?

    Those were low key, but I liked the Peyton Manning ones. "Chicken parm it tastes so good."

    Getting to really hate Flo. She needs to go.

    I like Flo.
    Not everyone is a home run, but there are still one or two every year that are very good.
    The one in which she is lurking around the property defending the vehicle in the driveway from various hazards is really good.
    The one in which Flo and the young man are prowling the neighborhood like kids on Mischief Night but they're actually improving the homes: very good.
    Same with the Flo radio spots. Some misses but some good ones.
