What's your favorite Geiko Commercial?
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 09:56 AM by Philosoraptor
I truly love the cavemen in the restaurant, there were originally two ads though, and I really like the Charo and Little Richard and Burt Bacharach ones, a new tact.

I don't care for the CGI lizard with the brit accent though, not that I watch t.v. much.

There have been so so many, I can't even count em'.

You gotta hand it to them though, they cover all the bases. They even have a few straight ads, with no humor, just like a regular Ins. company.

1. the Burt Bacharach one makes me laugh my ass off
everytime I see it. And I loved the caveman ones.

"I'll have the duck, and mango salsa..."

2. "I don't have much of an appetite right now thanks"
And that withering cave man sneer.

3. Love the caveman commercials!
Can't stand the CGI lizard, or for that matter any CGI animals in commercials.

4. Of any of them, the caveman ones.
I really don't like the new spots with the celebrities. Especially the one with Little Richard.

16. That one is really great! I love Charo! She looks wonderful as always!
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 11:48 AM by CottonBear
She never changes! I don't think she's had plastic surgery. She's sort of like Sophia Loren: she's always looked great!
