The Final Countdown. Funny ad and great title - we really are in the final countdown. We're in the last stages before Jesus takes us outta here. I like the song - these guys are pretty good. But it will be Jesus, not a Steven-Hawking spaceship, that will jettison us to Heaven before it all comes crashing down here on earth.

If you're a Christian, rejoice and look up for your redemption draws near. If you don't know Jesus, TODAY is the day to be saved.

As far as Geico goes, I love their ads even though I don't carry their insurance.

They are funny the first 20 or 30 thousand times. After that they lose something.

That is an awesome song. I remember it from the 1980s when it got quite a bit of airplay here.

Another great 80s song I've been listening to a lot lately in that same vein is "Forever Young" from Alphaville. It got new life by being featured in the recent "Napoleon Dynamite" movie.

That one and the smart-a$$ little boy one I mute immediately.

I’ve seen the commercial and it’s funny.

It’s funny because it is such a cheesy and kitschy horrid song and the band’s appearance matches the kitschiness of the song.

We are laughing at them. Absurdist humor.

God Awful song, sounds like it was written by the lawyers that penned, ‘’in the year 2525’’.

Geico has the best ads on television. So creative and unexpected. So many great lines. Middle schools have actually had to ban the “hump day” imitations.
