We liked the ads, Geico. We really did. Even though some of them at this point probably don’t need another repeat airing.

Am I the only one who thinks Geico hasn't put out a clever or funny commercial for a long time, and the caveman commercials were dreadful? They used to have the two-ads in a row thing going. They earned their brand with the "great news--I just saved a bundle on car insurance" or whatever. Vic, I thought you were gonna skip this?

The racial angle was so blatant you could trip over it, and one of the problems WITH the racial thing is that they were so mainstream. It wasn't like they ran around wearing animal skins for clothes. What I mean is that it didn't equate to misunderstood rapper-looking dudes with their pants around their butts, tons of bling and speaking in "ebonics," who although they look and act different are just, um misunderstood. I doubt it will catch on. Vic It was semi-painful to watch, but not the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
