Default Geico commercials

Whenever I see a Geico ad I am usually the only one in the room laughing. Even though they are so overplayed, I am still not tired of them and I laugh every time.

So..what does everyone think about Geico's ad campaigns to date, are they funny?

My favorites in order:
"I've got good news, I just saved..." > "Somebody's Watching Me" > Squirrels > Cavemen > Gecko > Celebrity Storyteller

We were talking about how bad the industry is with the economy being how it is, and my co-worker dale, upon having this crappy convo, was like

"I have bad news...... I just lost a lot of money on my car insurance"

We ALL burst out laughing, haha. I guess in THAT sense, Geico has made me laugh inadvertentley.

I like the one where the gecko spends the guys dollar on a bag of chips. "Care for a crisp?"

My favorite is the one we did on the beach. It was kind of weird to film it with my girl friend but we finished it all in one afternoon.

The first geico commercial with the whole caveman thing was hilarious. The one where he is at the airport and it's playing that upbeat song

Ah yes! The only reason I loved that commercial was because of the song. Royksopp
