Am I the only one who thinks the Geico caveman ads aren't funny?

You think those are bad? You should have seen the sitcom based on those ads.

The TV show was actually getting funny near the end when the strike canned it.

They aren't funny, but I still look back nostalgically at them when watching the latest batch of shitty Geico commercials with the Croc Hunter type guy.

Lose that and the esurance campaign. I do like how Allstate does their campaigns, I hate how the others can't say anything smart.

The only two I got a chuckle out of were the duck and mango salsa and the airport scene. :thumbsdown: the rest of the commercials and :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: for that stupid show.

Overall I give them a B-. I've seen much better. The worst ad I've seen lately has a logger and and chick who drive off in a motorbike. I simply have no idea what it is trying to portray. I've a sense of what it thinks it is portraying, but if that's it, it sucks terribly at it.

Cavemem = funny for the first two commercials

I like the motorcycle one

First one was cute, now they suck. It was a single joke, you can't keep repeating the same joke for years.

The first caveman ad was very funny. The rest of them were just stupid, including the failed sitcom and the continuing-to-fail vomit of additional commercials.

The gecko is not and has never been entertaining.

"But he's British and says funny stuff because it's different than what I say!"

Ugh, I'm with you, the gecko SUCKS. I hope the next commercial featuring him depicts someone capturing him, putting him in a coffee can and dropping a lit M80 in it. Then he'll be funny.

I don't think at this point they're supposed to be funny....just memorable.

The fact that you can recall it as the geico caveman is kind of proof of its effectiveness.

Yeah, those are good.

Renting the clown was ROFL

 

[AstroManLuca]

I'd rather watch the Geico commercials for ten minutes on loop than be forced to sit through one of those stupid ETRADE commercials with the baby.

I'm hoping the fact that it's in all caps means he's joking.. let us all hope.

But yeah, the Caveman commercials are still funny to me, some of the new ones are pretty good actually.

The caveman commercials are OK. At least they attempt some humor. I hate serious commercials.

The gecko ones were amusing at first, but now they're just annoying.

I think commercials for tampons, condoms, and all medications should be banned from TV, especially the ED ones.

That's what I came in here to say. Anyone know her name?

The Gecko is just stupid. Caveman is ok, but getting tired.
