WHo the blue fuck is Griswolda? The dopey ad where some witch turns some girl into a cat. Been on 451,945,002 times today, you've seen it. I must be hearing or spelling it wrong but Google isn't helping at all

Don't think you'd find anything. It's just a name, don't think it's supposed to be a specific character from anything else. |

Maybe it's some Clark Griswald inside joke.

Not sure it's really meant to be seen that way. I think it's just an 'old world' sounding name that sounds sorta 'witchy.' |

I'll be dipped, there are more
I guess she's going to be a character, like Flo. This was was kind of funny, never seen it. The cat one blows.

You have to hand it to insurance ads. Like them or hate them, at least Geico and Progressive aren't boring.

I don't think I agree with you on the Progressive ads. Trying to have these ongoing characters that I could not possibly care about is indeed very boring. |

They've been playing that commercial for years, they resurrect it every Halloween. It's just a character they created.

Fuck Geico. The absolute worst ads ever. So incredibly unfunny. it's like they were written by 13 year olds who think they're really funny and then when they're 23 look back at the stuff they wrote when they were 13 and go "man, this was lame." I mean the "Old McDonald in a Spelling bee," I literally made that gag when I was in 3rd grade and they pass it off a commercial written by adults. I will also say I had Geico for 20 years, long before the dumb commercials. Then I got in the most minor fender bender. Then Geico practically tripled my rates, despite it being the first time I ever used them for something. Clean record, got a minor fender bender, tripled my rates. I literally would have been cheaper for me to pay the guy out of pocket. It was a tiny tiny dent in the side fender. One of the worst fucknig companies ever.

That might be why they need to make funny commercials for dopes to use their product. I've always felt that the more a company tries to make me laugh as they peddle their wares, the less I probably want their business. |

To be fair go Geico, they are one of the more creative brands for advertising across many mediums. From ESPN Podcasts, to youtube ads starting with "You can't skip this ad because it's already finished. Geico." They are very good at their name out there.

One time, someone at work used a Geico quote to describe Justin Turner "It's so easy, even a Cave Man can do it."

It'd be one thing if the commercials were actually funny, which they're not remotely. They're lame attempts at gags that are like six rewrites away from being funny. It's like they were spur of the moment ideas a 13 year old had, scribbled them down on a napkin and they were filmed right away.
