If It Ain't Broke...

Honestly...I can't understand why the folks at Geico would replace an advertising campaign that has evolved over many years into a smart, funny and witty success, with an inanimate stack of money that incessantly repeats a song that is quickly rising to the top of the all-time most annoying songs list!

I mean, the stack isn't even that big. And it clearly doesn't contain big bills. Why would I want to go through the hassle of switching insurance companies just to save $30!? It's not clever, it's not funny, it doesn't even make sense; a stack of bills, that can't move, is sending text messages?!?

Stop this madness, Geico! Just stop it! I beg you!

  1. Geico's advertising campaigns are ingenious. Even Annoying Big-Eyed Stack of Bills - I bet almost every person in America recognizes Geico's latest mascot. It's just like that annoying Eastern Motors campaign that makes me want to jump off the Bay Bridge. Or remember the Kiss My Bumper guy? And Gebco? "Go Gebco, Go Gebco... Gotta have Gebcooooooooh."

  4. "Fords, Hondas, Chevys, Beamers... and Mini Vans. Over 600 cars, trucks, SUV's, are you listen' mayun?!" See... good advertising ingrains that shit in your brain forever. *Reaching for gun*
