Geico's Celebrity Appearances

One of Geico's newer commercials has recently helped me appreciate a minor pet peeve that consists of celebrity spokespersons. Some companies really just do a bad job incorporating the use of celebrities with their products. I would tell you which companies those are, but as you can tell they didn't stand out to me. So, I forgot who they were.

Anyway, back to Geico. Along with previous commercials that included people like Alan Ruck, Tony Little, Jamie Lee Curtis, Burt BachaRach, Geico continues to improve their use of celebrity appearances in unconventional ways. I love how they make fun of the use of celebrity appearances using Little Richard and Charo.



By the way...is anyone else sick of the gecko commercials yet?

I wish that stupid Lizard would die. If Taco Bell can ditch that anorexic dog, why can't Geico get rid of Baby Godzilla?

Also...while watching TV the other night, why did his accent change all of the sudden? He used to be American but now he's Australian. Either way, he's only one thing to me...FLIPPIN' ANNOYING.
