Post Geico caveman love here.

Fed Ex caveman kicks Geico caveman's ass.

Geico has two cavemen! And they can whip FedEx's caveman ass through the power of passive-aggression!

I am repulsed yet inexplicably drawn to that music playing as the Geico caveman moves through the airport.

There needs to be an indefinite ban on commercials parodying prescription drug commercials.

Slow, sad, tinkly piano music... someone talking about how they were sad, their lives were empty, etc.... then we're told they were suffering from some made-up disease, to which Product X is the cure... the person then tells us how great their life is now... maybe for extra hilarity, someone rapidly reading off a list of fake "warnings" and "side effects" at the end...

WE GET IT. YEAH, IT'S JUST LIKE A PRESCRIPTION DRUG COMMERCIAL. WE GET IT ALREADY. REAL FUCKING CLEVER. THANK YOU FOR THE 30 SECONDS OF QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT.

There's a bunch of them on TV, but especially on the radio, it's like every other damn commercial. Everyone had the same hilarious idea all at once, apparently.

The Geico caveman is back. He's pissed. And he's not going to take it anymore. Funny NEW commercial.

"Okay. First of all? I'm not a hundred percent in love with your tone right now."

Hee! I love the Geico caveman.

Especially since Valtrex has taken the unique route of having happy, active people gleefully tell us that THEY have genital herpes. We-eeeell, good for you guys!

My "favorite" part of the commercial, though, is when the announcer dramatically intones that 70% of people with genital herpes got them while their partners showed no signs of outbreak. My question for the announcer guy is, who exactly are the 30% that contracted genital herpes while their partners WERE showing signs of outbreak?

Also, I don't know the name of the product but I love the commercials for an herbal alternative to Viagra. The guy's name is "Bob" and Bob and his wife are always happy, skippy and the announcer tells us it's because Bob is using this great new herbal supplement. The theme music is someone whistling.

If not for YouTube I'd have no idea what y'all are talking about. I can't believe I just spent five minutes of my life searching for and watching auto-insurance commercials online. Five minutes! Damn you, Internets.

Thought it was interesting that the latest ad, while pretty funny, makes no sense unless you've seen at least one of the earlier ones. It's an interesting technique, although I have to wonder how well it really works in advertising. On the other hand, it did the trick for me, so I'm not much one to complain.

Gatorbait, those commercials are for a supplement called Enzyte. They strike me as pretty creepy, although it's mildly clever that they're always panning down to the guy's enormous, um, shoes to illustrate his newfound contentment. But his weirdly fixed grin always makes me think that someone must have mixed in LSD or some meth with their herbs.

Well, that's all true about the Enzyte commercials, but I think they're intentionally creepy. Considering how earnest the original Viagra ads were, it amuses me to have these commercials be so blatant in their double entendres about Enzyte's usage.

Oh, have y'all seen the new HeadOn commercials? Now on about the second "apply directly to the forehead", they have someone step in front of the picture and say something like "(mocking voice) 'Apply directly to the forehead? Apply directly to the forehead??' (normal voice) I hate your commercials... but I love your product!"

Pretty much ruins the whole thing, IMHO.

My favorite commercial these days is for Volvo with the dad picking up the little girl and putting her in the car. She's cute without being too cute (like those creepy Welch Grape Juice kids) and she never shuts up. Also, it looks like she dressed herself which makes me like the commercial even more - it makes me smile everytime I see it.

It's almost cute. Like they're trying so hard to be hip and meta.

I love that commercial. That's his little buddy!

I love this commercial so much, especially the part where they scan the toy while the dog is still holding it.

I generally don't find Geico's commercials to be hilarious, but Tiny House still remains one of my all time favorite commercials.

The Banterist did an interview with the Tiny House creator that I, like a true nerdlinger, found fascinating.

Commercial I don't like:

THIS IS OURRRRRRRRR COUNTRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And it certainly is! But I hate you John Mellencamp, and you'll have to put a gun to my head to make me buy an American car after that.

Oh, yeah, and I think Chevy is the only company that wanted to pay up for baseball playoff advertising so I've seen it about ninety million times.

I don't like either that it invokes the WTC, firefighters, etc. I'm not OMG offended, but I just think it's stupid and probably says a lot about the desperation of the American car industry.

I LOVE the PetSmart commercial, but I'm biased because I've got a little doxie who looks almost exactly the one in the commercial. I even ran out and bought him a "Bobo," but he destroyed it MUCH faster than the dog in the ad!

Better late than never...thanks, henry, for the link to the Bobo commercial. That's one of my two very favorites (the other being the GE elephant "Singing in the Rain" one).

BTW, my favorite Geico commercial is the one with Burt Bacharach.

"I got hit in the rear... lizard licks his eyeball... I hope I never get hit in the rear again..."

I do love this Sony Bravia advert. So pretty, with added random clown.

In the spirit of U.S. programming of Brit shows being months behind, I present from April '06 the new face of Walker's Crisps, Charlotte Church:





What? There was a dearth of classical singers around here. And I must testify, not going to the gym and eating lots of salt&vinegar chips lately has added to my own curviness a bit.

Why does she look like Joan Collins?

Seriously! And how hurt could the little brat have been anyway? Dude was coming out of the drive thru. He couldn't have been going too fast. Plus, have you ever known a baked person to actually go above 15 miles an hour?

The new Dockers commercial worked. Hubby is getting everything in that ad for Christmas...Go boy go.

But he'll have to jog in slow-mo everytime he wears them. New rule.

I like the T-Mobile ad with the guy chastising his roommate for putting first guy's girlfriend on "his 5"

First guy (paraphrased):"J'Accuse!"

Second Guy: "You're being really paranoid."

Cell phone rings, starts playing "Secret lovers, that's what we are...."

First guy looks down at the Caller ID, then looks up accusingly at second guy.

Second guy: "I should probably get that." Gently tugs phone away from first guy.

Anti-drug ads are definitely the best. Remember the one that was just two goofs talking? One says marijuana use supports terrorism, and the other calls him on it?

"Why should I believe that?"
"Because it's a fact."
"Fact?"
"F-A-C-T, fact."
"So you're saying I should believe it because it's true. That's your argument."
"It is true."

Umm, okay. Still trying to figure out what the point of that was.

My favorite anti-drug ad was actually not one. Radio spot with guy talking in stoner voice:

"I don't see what the big deal is." Sound of a long toke, followed by a strangled "Everybody does it." Exhale. "It should be legal"

Announcer: "But it's not legal! So if you need help, call 1-800-BAIL-OUT!"

Please, someone tell me that I'm not the only one who is creeped out by the "It's Amazing! It's the Mirrors" girl.

This commercial gives me the warm fuzzies. The song ain't so bad either.
