Lately, however, Geico has decided to go with has-been stars and cavemen. The commercials with Charo, Little Richard, the Movie Voiceover Dude, and Peter Graves were interesting once, but now they're just dull and overplayed. Still, these are bearable in comparison to the ads featuring cavemen. Those ads are just flat out stupid and a waste of ad dollars and air time.
But you be the judge. Which would you rather?


I vote for the Gecko. Bring Back the Gecko! Bring Back the Gecko! Bring Back the Gecko....

(Okay, seriously, I need to go to bed earlier. And, I should probably think about getting a life. Still... Bring Back the Gecko....)

Sylvia: I missed this one. Where was I in August?!
Burt Bacharach aside, I think MoBob would think the Geico Gecko is tres cool.
I'm voting Gecko! (although I thought he was funnier before the cockney accent)
I'm a big fan of the Gecko
The caveman ads are lame. I did like the Little Richard ad when Jon Stewart pasted George Bush in the next frame.
Why don't we see ads like "Where's the beef?" anymore?
My all time favorite are the funny DQ ones, like the Brownie Batter Blizzard one where the guy is talking like his tongue is three times too big, becuase he got it stuck in the beaters he licked when his wife was making brownies. Remember that one? Classic.
Zanne: I don't remember the Gecko before he went all cockneyed. Still, I love his droll little, "Look mate, there's fish and there's chips. Fish and chips..."
GF: I knew there was an underlying reason why I like you!
ME: Amen, sister! I missed the Jon Stewart spoof. Perhaps I'll have to look on YouTube....
SML: I don't remember those ads. Again: YouTube.
