There is no end in sight for this f*cking "It's what you do" concept from Geico.

The ad fails because TARZAN DOESN'T HAVE A CAR.
 
So what does he need GEICO for...?  LOL

Okay, I had to laugh at this comment.  You got a smirk out of me.

I agree with the above poster about Jane, she is kind of the savior of this commercial.  So is the Chimp; his head-shake is subtle, but funny.  However, Tarzan, as usual, is a chauvinistic ass.

For the record, their other commercial about that James Bond-type dude, who gets a call from his mother is also funny. "Oblivious-Mom" is a hoot.

I wanted to smack Jane in her nagging face.  I'm sick to death of these commercials featuring women with horrible voices nagging at their poor men.  I hope Jane ended up getting eaten by a tiger or something.  If I were Tarzan, I'd leave her stranded on that tree.

Ah, the apostrophe... the strap-on of the punctuation world. I suppose wives could have apostrophes, if you're into that sort of thing.

Didn't have you pegged for the sort, though, Ron. Shocked

I know you have problems with separating sentences correctly, but your problem with rapid or sudden speciation sounds like something you really need to check into.

Another random commercial from the "It's What You Do" library. What's the point of Tarzan for car insurance? I don't have a F-----N CLUE!!
At least I'm not seeing "Dora and Boots Annoying South Pole Explorers" anymore. That was horrific.

It was funny the first couple of times, but now I want Tarzan to give Jane a little shove on that branch and say "woopsie!"


Posted By: PaWolf
Date Posted: 04 Mar 2016 at 12:12pm
^LOLindeed...but if Tarzan is really 'King of the Jungle', he would have left Jane with Cheetah . It's a 'Man's World', doncha know.
"...your woman! How much? I want to buy your woman!..." 
Adored: The chimp was known for being compassionate and in tune with humans feelings
Here we see Cheetah trying to remind Tarzan that 'Tarzan know where Tarzan go' and that he ought to get going pretty quick as it is time for a little 'monkey business' with Jane, doncha know...think he's tellin' Tarzan about the movie he wants to make in a lttle less than a year, called 'Planet of the Japes', given he & Jane can get to workin' on the script real quick...

I'm surprised some feminist group hasn't lodged a protest over the way Jane is portrayed. Not so much for being bitchy, but for clinging dependently onto Tarzan as he controls the vine.

I'm surprised they aren't demanding that Jane be in control of her own vine, while providing equal and valued input as she and Tarzan work together in harmony to figure out the directions to the waterfall.

I think we can all see how that would make a much better advertisement.
