If the old GEICO caveman commercials weren't enough ***

    I don't care for the Wallace commercials.

    But didn't Geico do the "this is a real person, so we got..." commercials?

    If that was Geico, the best one was "In a world where both our cars were totally under water..."

    One of the best commercials ever.

    I like the Mrs. Butterworth's one better: "Oh, someone has put a logo right over my face!"

    Loren/Lauren's were pretty good for me, but the cavemen only had one memorable commercial for me: "Jen's here. We're getting back together!" "Jeez, can you give us a minute!"

    The gecko ones were OK until they brought in the dopey scientist.

    I remember a caveman who used to shout 'scoreboard' a lot. Wonder what happened to him.....

    If the cavemen start crowing about scoops, then we'll have proof.

    My favorite Geico commercial was The Tiny House. The first time I saw it, I almost thought that it was going to be a new reality show.

    Then of course, the commerical got beaten into the ground.

    If you saw Tiny House Girl, the commercial wasn't the only thing getting beaten ... :eek:

    Speaking of that, I did a little digging last night and discovered that the woman in the Mercury commercials is also the 'sideline' reporter for Wipeout.

    No matter how much she's on TV, it's not nearly enough.

    The GEICO gecko and caveman commercials are tiresome ... and have nothing to do with the actual product at hand. Progressive's new commercials at least have that going for them.

    However, the GEICO ads aren't nearly as bad as the Allstate commercials with Kasey Kahne and the three wanna-be groupie girls. Those are brutally, shoot-my-TV-with-a-shotgun bad.

    I just saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Progressive.

    And I never saw that bitch Flo anywhere.

    Man, I would so hit Flo.

    Does that make me weird?
