Default Irritating Commericals, especially Geico's?

Who else is sick of seeing those stupid commericals with the gecko & the cave men. I can't believe they are doing a TV show, that ought to last a week. And who else is sick of hearing commericals with English accents. We have enough talent in the US without using so many foreign accents!

What irritated me about the Geico commercials is when they stopped using Kelsey Grammer voice (Frasier) just because he had a drug and alcohol problem . . . . .you are supposed to stand behind and support your talent. Dropping them only gives them another reason to keep drinking or using . . . "Friends" stood behind Matthew Perry (Chandler) and he got help. Now if your star keep repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over then yes drop them ( e.g. Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears ) but at least give them 1 chance first. Remember the "Dude, you're getting a dell" guy he was dropped by them for drug use w/o the benefit of 1 chance too - Now all their commercials are stupid. They cut their own nose off to spite their face.

I hate the Carls Jr commercials, but I don't mind some of the Geico ones. I will admit though, I'm tired of the caveman ones. Although, I still don't see why he thinks the advertisement that bothers him, is saying he's dumb. I think the intended meaning of "Even a caveman can do it" was, that even a caveman can figure it out.

The part that bugs me is: Why does the fucking gecko have an English accent. I don't think they have fucking geckos in England. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure they don't. Yeah I don't have insurance with Geico anymore just cause i hate their commercials that much. (and they're way too expensive)

A lot of commercials are irritating. But we remember them, don't we. So they have done their job. But yes...I do find them irritating. They very gimmicky. I don't mind the English accents, what's wrong with accents? Everyone has one. Even you, to other people. I personally find the caveman commercials more annoying that the gecko-geico's commercials. I really hated those fake out commercials that Geico used to make. Speaking of Caveman...I'm sure you've heard the new show they've made from that stupid commercial. I admit the commercial was funny the first few times...then it got old. Fast. Why their making a show out of it, is beyond me.
