The pig one and the Waltons one share the same problem: It's pretty much impossible to depict something annoying without actually being annoying.

OTOH, I like the Randy Johnson one and the bird-in-the-hand one.

They have or had a commercial on the radio which I only heard part of and only once. Something about their insurance and the 'Most' abundant thing in the universe.
(That was the part that I missed)

The funny part was the part that I caught, which was the Ending of the commercial.
They were asking: "The second most 'abundant' thing in the universe? .. Commercials"!
That was funny .. and .. Right On!

I don’t like the ones with the gecko and his boss.

It takes the stupid white guy syndrome seen in so many commercials to the extreme.

In all of the commercials with these two characters, the old white boss is depicted as being stupid and a talking cartoon gecko is portrayed as being the intelligent one.

I would not buy insurance from a company whose CEO could not operate an overhead projector.

Can anyone help me with this? When they first introduced the gecko (I am a gecko - not to be confused with GEICO) I don’t remember him having that accent. Did they change it or am I just nuts?

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Kelsey Grammer ("Fraiser") the original voice of the gecko?

Oh, and the new one with the gecko being mistaken for “Stanley” is really funny, in a disturbing sort of way.

With all the money GICO and Progressive spend on commercials, how do they have any left over to pay claims?

Cute. Funny. I called GEICO. They were 20% more than my current insurance with Liberty Mutual.
