    That woman looks like Marcie from Married With Children.

    Geico commercial with the Fox News Channel set up is hilarious.

    Mayne's deadpan awkwardness is precisely what makes those ads restaurant-quality funny.

    I hadn't seen that one -- I loved it! "Walking upright. Fire. The wheel. Yeah, sorry we couldn't get that to ya sooner."

    It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't on EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK!


    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.

    (Donna gets closer and more comfortable leaning on Jerry. Jerry Pauses thinking about what she said)

    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.

    DONNA : Hey, I know guys like that. To me the dialogue rings true.

    (After Jerry sits back again, Donna continues get more comfortable in Jerry's arms. Jerry pauses.)

    JERRY: Even if the dialogue did ring true. (Donna starts to get annoyed that Jerry won't let the conversation go) Even if somehow somewhere men actually talk like that, what does that have to do with the pants? Doesn’t that bother you?

    DONNA: (annoyed) That’s the idea. That’s what’s clever about it, that they’re not talking about the pants.

    JERRY: But they’re talking about nothing.

    DONNA: That’s the point.

    JERRY: I know the point.

    DONNA: No one is telling you to like it.

    JERRY: I mean, all those quick shots of the pants. Just pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants. What is that supposed to be?

    The Geico voice-over genre is a direct ripoff of Bud Light/Charlton Heston a few years back.

    Aside from that, I have only one thing to say: Jon. Lovitz. Must. Die.

    And here it comes, the dreadful christmas blitz.

    I cannot stand the new Garmin in-car navigation at. Just pisses me off.

    All together now: Give-a give-a give-a Garmin.

    Blech.

    "Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock this morning."

    That always cracks me up.
