Anyone else crack up at this Geico commercial with Burt at the piano with the older lady? It gets me everytime. ":p:D

My mom said that he NEVER could sing, but has always been a great songwriter/composer/pianist

I would love to see the outtakes of that woman sitting next to Little Richard as to how many times she fell off of her chair cracking up. I know every time I see it , I just about fall over. Very,very clever marketing.

I also like the one with Charo busting out the Spanglish all over the place.

Unique, hilarious and memorable, to say the least. That marketing company will be getting some calls for sure.

MASHED POTATOES, GRAVY AND CRANBERRY SAUCE! I'm laughing my ass off just thinking about it.

And the Burt Bachrach one is funny as hell, if you are old enough,that is. ;)


Edit: Some YouTubeness for your enjoyment.

Peace

Absolutely! I love these too. Unlike most commercials, they get funnier the more I see them - I keep noticing things.

Exactly!! I had no idea what Burt was saying for the second line. B/C you know, when you're watching TV, you don't often pay attention to the commercials...you just kinda glare over them while waiting for your program to come back on...

But my mom called me on Friday and said, "Have you seen that Geico commercial with Burt at the piano? I think he says something about the lizard licking his eyeball." Of course, I'm like WTF. So the next time it came on, I paid closer attention and I was laughing my ass off. Now everytime I see it, I can't help but get a big smile on my face :D

I think it's stupid. Geico needs to go back to their line of commercials featuring the Gecko. This new line of commercials they have are annoying.

The original gecko ads were good, but the ones where he talks with the accent are horrible. Love the new ones tho :laugh:

Wow... you actually prefer these news over the talking gecko commercials? I really find this surprising. When I saw these new commercials I was like, "WTF? That's stupid."
