I support this petition. He's too far down the food chain to talk. He's not cute, and it's not really his voice. Some English person with a deviant sexual preference provides the voice.
I support this petition. They could save everyone a lot more money if they weren't spending profits on irritating ads. Insurance is something we are FORCED to have. Why advertise it. We'll find you. I will never purchase Geico. Save money. Cut rates!
I support this petition ... They are so thick and stupid they are actually advertising on this page. Give us a break GEICO. Oversaturation of ads just makes people hate you and trust you even less.
I REALLY HATE THOSE ADS THEY ARE SO STUPID. THEY SURE DO HAVE A LOT OF CLAIMS. SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME TO HAVE SO MANY CLAIMS.SOMETHING ILLGEAL IS GOING ON THIER. LETS DUMP THE ADS THEY STINK
Geico commercials make no sence! I called to see if my rates would be better last year and I was on hold for more than 40 minutes! whatever happened to the 15 minutes could save you?
I am really, really, really, really sick and tired of all the Geico commercials. They seem to advertise more than all the fast food places and beer companies COMBINED!!!Not to mention, they advertise EVERYWHERE! TV, radio, magazines, even airplanes! Geez! GO AWAY GEICO, GO AWAY!!!
I think that the Geico commercials were annoying from the start. The cavman ones get played over and over and everyone is sick of them. Do they think that with time people will start to like them? They are rediculous!
People...you're overlooking the obvious. It's called the POWER button, and it's on the front of your TV. If you find these commercials that objectionable, then turn the @#$% TV off! You should probably spend more time reading, anyway.
Geico commercials do not relate to what they are about, I think they are trying to hard to make it different, but with no class and the wit is just careless
The gecko commercials are old and not entertaining anymore. Especially when they went to the heavy British accent. The commercials used to be funny but are just annoying now. They should switch over to the caveman commercials from now on.
Cheap, evasive, deceptive, and devious - that's the best thing I can say about Geico and any of the other SOB insurance thugs that OWN our state legislatures. They screw you and expect you th say "thank you!" There's a place in Hell reserved for Geico personnel and the many others like them in the insurance industry.
I truly hate geico commercials. I now make it a point to kill every lizard i come across. I had to use geico for a year back in the 90's,never had an accident or ticket,but had many rate increases.
THEY SUCK LARGE CAVEMAN COCK!!!!!
Thanks to this petition site for letting me vent.
It's one thing to have really stupid annoying commericals but to have stupid annoying commercials on EVERYTIME there is a break is VERY annoying. I mute the commercial everytime one comes on and refuse to ever go with Geico because of this harrassment. The commercials are the stupidist I have ever seen which should reflect on the company. From what I have heard the company rates are really high (they must be to pay for commercial after commercial and to pay someone to come up with a commercial even stupider than the previous one). I have gotten several of my friends to change insurances because of the higher rates (I found them much lower rates, one in particular went from 158.00 a month to 64.00!) I keep wishing the commercial terrorisim would stop and I hope this helps! I am so glad others are taking a stand against this company. Makes you wonder why they have to try so hard getting customers resorting to stupid commercials over and over again. It is a bad company with terrible service from what I have heard. They should put more effort into lowering their rates and having better customer service than to put their resouces into those ridiculous commercials. KILL THE LIZZARD with the fake accent!
hello al there mates.its me mate, the talking geico from geico.I'll tell ya all you mates a harry potter story.This is how it goes...harry potter woke up in the morning in hogwarts.ron was next to him and said"harry i heard lord voldomord when i was sleeping and he said he was gonna murder you!""is that true?"yelled harry."yes,but i have some very good news!"snortd ron"realy, you know da speel to kill him?!?!?!"cried harry"no, i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico,abracadraba!"now mates wasnt that good ol' harry potter story?
A petition?? What a great idea. Because we all know internet petitions always work. Instead why don't you guys go outside Geico's headquaters and commit mass suicide. That will probably get more attention. If any commercials should be taken off the air it should be the self serving, pretencious Truth anti-smoking ads.
i think they should get rid of all commercials in general.. i hate waiting for a good show to come back on.... except for movie trailers, i want to see the new movies.
I support this petition.
In 2001 I was run off the road by a drunk driver, my car had a lot of damage, as did I.
Geico told me "Florida does not have No-Fault Insurance"!!
Get rid of them.
THey cancelled my insurance . for over 2 months I drove with no insurance and didnt even know it!!!! they never even gave me a phone call to tell me.. shut these scumb bags down
i love the geico gecko you fuckers if you have a problem e-mail me at mtymty21@comcast. net
p.s. you can die you fuckers ohhhh you got told off by a 8th grader
I support this petition. I gave that gecko the name "Jar Jar Crumpets" Well yeah, the thing looks like that particularly annoying Gungan and ever though it has a british accent, it still has the same annoying as that Gungan.
Ok, I'm watching tv and there is a mock talk show with a talking lizard. Not only that, it has an english accent. Then it insults you be reminding you how stupid you are for watching a commercial that poses as entertainment. What a fucking moronic ad campaign. I understand branding is important, but is it more important than annoying OTHER potential client base, you know, the ones that arent idiots who buy auto insurance because of talking rats or whatever but because the insurance might actually be worth a shit. Oh ... well that might explain it ...
Geico touts 97% satisfactions rate. I bet that's the rate for overall policy holders. Wonder what the satisfaction rate would be for only those who had to actually file a claim. Bet not 97%.
GIECO is pure shit.
I support this petition. I used to like the Geico ads before they brought that damn gecko in every damn commercial. Now they're doing the same with the cavemen, who were also not very interesting to begin with.
BTW, that "camping" commercial they did was meant as a spoof of the ridiculous, godawful Old Navy ads...how about a petition against them?
I support this petition.wat is up with there gay commercials first it was a geico and then it turned british and then it did the robot is this some stupid tactic to get teenagers to buy there car insurance cuz i don't kno if they kno but no one does the robot anymore! and its america
The point of a commercial is not to get you to buy Geico insurance, eveidently no one that signed this petition went to college. the point of a commercial is get you talking about a product and inquire about said product. Obviously, since all of you are resorting to signing this petition, Geico ads are extremely successful. I mean, serioulsy, how you can you not like their ads, "they're like free pie and chips. its pie, and its chips, and its free"
Go back to work and do something productive
I support this petition.
BTW< I was a GEICO customer for quite a few years. Auto and home. They sent me a letter saying they were cancelling me, the letter was dated over 30 days after this took effect. I (and my wife) was driving 'naked' for over a month! They later dropped my home insurance after I had a claim. ALSO: Geico owns a company that makes RADAR UNITS for you friendly local Police department. Get a radar ticket? GEICO will raise your rates! Neat huh? BTW the "Gecko" has a Cockney accent.. the Aussie accent probably came from that. I don't expect GEICO to stop the stupid ads, as stupid works if people talk about it. But I hope people will not deal with them, if for no other reason as the Cop Radar cited above. RE: some of their other stupid ads :"Estaban" and "Tony Little" are Whores!
I support this petition. I have despised the GEICO commercials since they started using the gecko. First off, the ad agency they used must have run out of ideas or have no imagination to come up with the gecko thing which makes no sense to me at all. When the ad campaign first started people were calling the gecko trying to reach GEICO? Give me a break.. Second, the core of the campaign is to "save you money on your car insurance".. Just for grins I got a quote from them and not only did they NOT save me 15 percent or more they were in fact 100 percent higher for the same insurance I have now. Just my 2 cents.
I DO NOT support this petition. I really like the "Sign up for Geico -- it's so easy a caveman could do it" series, particularly the one that ends in the restaurant; one caveman orders duck with mango salsa and the other looks very resentfully at Stupid Spokesman Guy and says, "I don't have much of an appetite."
It's a funny poke at people who are thoughtless about what they say...

"There is absolutely no point to the commercials. They don't have anything to do with car insurance at all."
the commercials are obviously working. You are talking about them on this forum. Funny or not, which I find them creative, they are getting people to talk about GEICO. BTW - i do not support the petiton. and what if everyone in the world signed the petition, would GEICO pull the commercials? ah... NO. so that makes this "petition" stupid and useless and you people need to find something better to do with your time.
NO!!! That Aussie gecco is amazing! He rocks my socks off! "Hello, you've reached Gecco, not to be confused with Geico, which could save you hundreds on car insurance!" lmao :D cute guy!
Tell that little gecko to shut the hole under his nose. I've compared their rates, and I'll be dammed if I can find the 15% savings. Since the commercial where the station wagon drives off the road trying to keep from hitting a squirrel, and the rodent starts high 5ing his friend, many a squirrel has died under my tires. It's not just the little lizzard, it's all those geico tv ad's. They've gotta go
GEICO KICKS ASS. Just face it! BTW for those of you who don't know......Internet Petitions Mean NOTHING! They are not legally binding considering that you have to be a legal registered voter and have ACTUAL Signatures. GEICO RULES! HA!
So an Ad on TV is supposed to get the name of the company into your mind right. So this one got your attention so well, that it sparked a petition like this. And now Geico is in your mind.
Voila - it served its purpose, and well.
As for Pie and Chips, it's Meat Pie and Hot Chips (or "french" fries as you like to refer to them as)
These ad's are hillarious, the accent is not fake it's rather authentic Cockney British accent.
People need to lighten up, and get a sense of humour.
I love the Gecko, and now know about Geico.
yea...what the hell is "pie and chips.???? Is it apple pie and lays potato chips? Is it cherry pie and doritos? What the hell is it and what does it have to do with car insurance????
What is with the english accent..I thought we lived in the US..I don't think most of America know what "pie and chips" are! Maybe that commercial flys over across the big pond, but it is not suited for us here in the states. I like the Geckco, but can't stand the accent.
Are you retarded? GEICO has the best darn commercials on TV! Heck, the Gecko was voted "Ad Icon of the Year" in the U.S. Plus, to you schmucks who didn't save 15%...they say they COULD save you 15%, not that they WILL save you 15%. Therefore, it's not a lie. If GEICO sucks so bad, why are they the fastest growing major auto insurer in the country???
yall are crazy 1- they are funny 2- how can u not get them they are easy to under stand 3- u live in a place where istead of starvation ppl are sufering from obisety and consant violance do something useful like joining the army duh
I support this petition. I fucking HATE those new ones with the accented lizard talking to other lizard about ???? - no one in the USA could possibly understand anything about chips and pie. What the fuck? Enough already.
