This commercial just further installs a sense of fear into the "strangers" of your neighborhood. I'm sure things happen, and perhaps this website has thwarted off a bad egg from someones life on more than one occasion, but come on. OH NO MR. HEATER REPAIRMAN, I can't let you on, because you are NOT VERIFIED! SUCURETY BREECH!

My favorite bit is their example search was just first name Mike last name Jones then search button. Yea, you know, Mike Jones, find the one I mean, computer.

Oh poo poo Mike Jones murdered some one! I mean, it was in Alaska but how do I know he didn't move!?

You can never be too careful around people named Mike Jones.

The Mike Jones in this commercial could very well be the exact same Mike Jones that once used these lyrics in a rap song:

quote:

I need you bad girl I'm horny as hell
I need yo love so hit me on my cell
Girl give me a call, give me a call
So I can do some damage to you
You know my dick been hard, waitin for you
I need you bad girl I'm horny as hell
I need yo love so hit me on my cell
Give me a call, give me a call
So I can do some damage to you

Looking away from the TV while wife was watching, in the span of about 10 minutes I heard this double-feature commercial:

Yeah, the first time I heard that commercial I was in another room, so I didn't actually see that the punchline was the pig. When I actually saw the commercial I couldn't believe they went with something that had implications like that. And the worst part is that would've been a perfectly good commercial if it was just a totally oblivious dude.

How did Geico go from having legitimately great commercials to such completely terrible ones?

In 2005 on Comedy Central you would easily see commercials for Jamster every commercial break. I don't remember more than one Jamster ad in the same break but I could easily see it happening.

Cartoon Network did the same thing with commercials for the Powerpuff Girls Movie. It wasn't as lovely as the Jamster ads but it did get a bit annoying to see the same ad six times in an hour. Apparently all that advertising didn't work because it didn't make that much money!

I'll always remember a particular plane trip I took as a child. The stewardess flung the dividing curtain aside and stepped into the aisle, paused for a beat, then said "WELL HELLOOOOOOOO YA'LL!". I can vividly remember the entire plane trying to stifle laughter, as along with her odd greeting, her entire..... "look" was something like a mix between Bozo the Clown, Satan, and Paula Deen on acid. Her smile dropped, she slunk back into their little area, and then I think she traded with the first-class stews as we never saw her again for the whole trip.

This one drives me crazy just because the older kid is being such a little bastard and the dad is just "Hehe someone stole your food again huh? No biggie." Not that I expect him to backhand the older one or anything, but you just stand there and laugh instead of telling your kid they shouldn't take someone's food?

(Yes I realize this would actually ruin the commercial)

Or the fact is there is a 100% chance you will have to call a customer service number because that's how every auto insurance company handles claims. Even if you call your personal agent or whatever the commercial is suggesting, they will make you go through the exact same process. Not to mention that they work regular 9-5 days, and are not always on call at the moment you get in to an accident. Also that commercial bugs me because what does a State Farm rep do in that situation other than confirming that yes, you are covered when you are hit by another vehicle.

Now that I think about it, other than the Allstate commercial where that actor with the long hair and beanie + beard gets in to an accident with the clean cut older guy, which auto insurance commercials actually show a person at fault instead of being a victim?


Edit: State Farm RE: LIES - They should just tell you that having the middleman insurance agent is one of the reasons your insurance is more expensive than most other companies who provide the same service.

What bugs me most about one State Farm commercial is the two dues in the car in the middle of a bunch of bison.

1) Why are they in the middle of a herd of bison?

2) Why does one of them say, "I can't believe we've never done this before."
