One of the best ads ever, right up with the AFLAC ad with Yogi Berra!

Mr. Ermey should win an Emmy...or whatever that award is that is given to the best commercials....

[JSngry]

It's a CLIO, the ad awards is. Agreed. Best commercial EVER!

at least for now

Geico TV ads are as annoying as the constant flow of Geico junk mail I receive.

[JSngry]

The cavemen jumped the shark long before they actually got eaten by it...the talking gekko keeps threatening to jump the shark, but they keep pulling back just in time, at least for my tastes. But that's some thin ice they're on, to be sure.

The latest batch, though, the drill Sargent, the bird-in-the-hand, the little piggie, and the woodchucking woodchucks have a certain deadpan insanity to them that I find wuite appealing, at least for now.

Y U NO LIKE CAVEMEN? OK, the series was truly awful, but the ads were nearly always good. True story: the actor who played the 'mail' caveman in the commercials (not in the series) is the son of an incredibly nice elderly couple who we go to church with here in Kansas City. I understand from them that the make-up took as long to apply as it took to shoot the commercials.

My favorite was this understated one. Cracked me up every time...

I really dug 'em at first, and for a while, but for my taste the ads ran out of freshness about year before the ads stopped production.

Does anybody else do a campaign like GEICO, with more than one distinct "theme" and character set running simultaneously?

I'm wondering what would happen if some of those worlds collided....

I also like that group Royksopp that was the source for the music.

Don't forget my favorite, the Abe & Mrs. Lincoln.

OH yeah!

Jeez, I hated the caveman adds from the first time I saw one. I have to confess to liking the gecko, though. This one? Absolutely outrageous the first time; I don't know how it would stand up to multiple plays.
