This article chronicals the brilliance and sheer "genius" to one of the most popular TV ads, the Geico "Tiny House" ad.

The marriage was built to last, but the house was built too small!

What is this, Bizarro world?!? What's next, an awards show for ads? What is the world coming too!?!??

Personally, while I like the ad, I think that this goes too far, ah, how I remember the good old days when ads were dispised, not glorified, DAMN YOU GEICO!

I think the Geico commercials are really pretty funny commericials. Especially that new one that looks and sounds like an old navy commercial. Priceless.

[Fletcher`]

Geico and Mitsubishi are the few companies with commercials I find rather amusing often :P

[SteelPH]

To this day I still wonder why Geico still produces commercials that have nothing to do with anything. They're obviously failing.

[Dittohead]

hahah I love that one and I've only seen it twice.

"I just want to make an omelette!"

I just got my ass kicked in Skulltag, but I have good news!

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!

EDIT: Why don't spoiler tags work?

[Stealthy Ivan]

Haha, the first time I seen it on TV I though it was real, I bust out laughing for an hour thinking it was another shitty reality tv show! It was not till the next day I reilized it was a car insurance commercial... : P

Um, because we don't have them.

I love the Geico commercials, too, especially the Cavemen ones.

"That is NOT cool!"

[DoOmEr4LiFe]

The Speed Racer one made me laugh pretty hard the first time I watched it.

[SyntherAugustus]

All the geico commercials are hilarious. I've yet to see the navy one.

"You can do it!!!" Heh.

[DaJuice]

Jack in the Box makes some pretty funny commercials too. I liked the "Win Jack's Stuff" one. :P

[Gokuma]

I don't think there's any Jack in the Box in my region and I've never seen a commercial for them. But what we do have in my region is all three monster cereals, Count Chocula, Booberry, and Frankenberry. So ha.

[Xaser]

Heh, I've always liked Geico commercials, even if only for the fact that they're stupid as hell. These new ones definitely take the cake for being the most stupid and funny at the same time (especially the Tiny House and Speed Racer ones).

In fact, the entire point of Geico making commercials like that is so people will remember them more, and therefore, remember the name of the company. So far, it seems to be working. :P

[DooMer87]

they also have a new one with tony little and the gazelle fitness machine. You know, a lot of companies are hiring people that think they're funny to do commercials that intend to be funny. I think the best ads are ALWAYS during the super bowl, since the network airing those ads makes 2.5 million dollars for a 30-second ad.

Geico just spent WAY too much money on actors for a tv commercial plus airtime..
Good news! We just sold car insurance to over a billion more morons world wide!

Every time I have to replace a remote control, it's because the mute button was worn down from overuse.

That's what I think about nearly all commercials.

[Gokuma]

I don't ever plan on paying for cable or satelite. TV just sucks.

Thats exactly what I do too.

I agree! :D


Hahahaha, those commericals make me laugh in too many ways to explain. :D Especially that caveman one.

[Scabbed Angel]

I find nothing wrong with glorifying commercials that are less annoying than usual.
