I'm sure you've seen the Geico commercial on t.v featuring the rude kid playing Peter Pan (he comes flying through the air and then proceeds to insult the adults at a banquet). I don't know about you but he makes my blood boil! I don't have Geico insurance but after seeing the ad, I wouldn't be inclined to consider them if I was shopping for insurance . Now if they make a part two of this horrible ad where Peter gets eaten by the crocodile or Captain Hook impales him on his hook hand, then I might feel better about Geico! Does anyone else have some thoughts of how you'd like to see this little jerk disposed of?
-
Sick of this one, too. D;
-
I'm tired of seeing it, but I think you are taking the ad a little too seriously. I thought it was great when I first saw it.
-
I agree, I don't like that commercial at all.
-
Have to agree, that commercial is stupid, and I'm sick of seeing it.
-
I'm not a fan of it either. I'll be glad when this one runs it course for sure!
-
Milton, you are a hoot and I agree. That kid is just plain annoying and I don't want to see him again. If Part Two is aired, I am a fan of getting Peter swallowed by the gator!!!!!
-
It certainly is not on the top of my list of favorite commercials. Now if it comes on I just flip the channel for a bit.
-
Hi JaniceSW,
Glad I gave you a laugh! Being swallowed by the gator would serve him right lol! Being worked over by the lost boys or Captain Hook's crew of pirates works for me too. Seeing Peter sporting a nice black and blue shiner in the final commercial installment would rap things up nicely!
-
I'm not that annoyed by it, I just feel like I have seen it way too much lol
-
it's funny
-
I wish that woman he insults would kick him in the bleep.
-
It is a very annoying commercial. I wish they didn't play it so often.
-
I have to agree that commercial needs to be revamped or removed!
-
Yeah. Its not my favorite commercial. But the ones that really put me over the edge are the Subaru commercials. They start out with an endearing story about a family or friends an end up with the phrase "Love--its what makes a Subaru and Subaru." Seriously?
-
yes it is very annoying!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
-
I thought the slam on people's ages was a bit rude.
No one wants to get old, but if we are lucky we are all going to go through it.
I didn't pay too much attention to it, just I thought it was a bit strange... until I was at my Aunt's house, she's 80 & was so offended by it when it came on... Geico alienating their older users. Advertising Epic Fail.

Did you not understand the commercial? Or the story of Peter Pan? Good grief. The commercial wasn't in anyway offensive or disrespectful to old people.

after seeing thagt commercial I would not buy geico not only is that boy annoying his voice is annoying :bad: :bad:

Milton: I'm on board. You ARE a hoot and have some great ideas for the little imp (cleaned up for the forum).

No. I don't know the story of Peter Pan... are you for real. lol
Peter Pan slams the old woman, based on her age & how old she looks. . He slams all of them because they are getting old & he is not. You can perceive the commercial one way, and others can perceive the commercial another way. Perception is subjective on who is viewing the commercial. Your perception on the commercial is not everyone's... just saying.

Yes, this commercial is very annoying!

Well than that explains a lot. Nothing to do with perception. The commercial is satire. You suggested that it alienated it's older users and called it an "Advertising Epic Fail." That's just a gross overreaction to a commercial. Do you really think GEICO is making fun of old people? Now that is comical.
I also wouldn't consider telling someone that is roughly 70, that they don't look a day over 70, to be "slamming" them.
-
This commercial doesn't bother me, at least clearly not as much as some of you. :D I've only seen it once or twice though. I will admit to being kinda tired of The Final Countdown commercial. Europe probably made more money off that song from that one commercial, than when the song actually came out in 1986!

This. ^ So much this.
Mostly because Pep band ruined that song for me. I hate playing that on a trumpet.
-
I don't feel too strongly about the commercial but my 11 year old son thinks it is the greatest thing in the world.
-
I don't like it that Peter Pan is rude at all. He's merely a lost boy, not a lost rude boy! :angry7: That's my reason for not liking the commercial.
But I'm all for "free speech" and if that's how they want to play it, okee dokee.
-
actualy I have missed it and I think m glad.
-
It was kinda amusing at first, but it is a bratty kid being rude and ponpous to a mature adult couple.
Yeh, it is a boy who never grows up....but it is still annoying and rude, but that comes from a 72 yr old great-grandmother here.
I miss the old Geico lizzard, but now they have him with a new voice, and it comes across as phony.
:rose:
-
I have not seen this one... I dont watch much tv, but maybe I need to keep an eye out for interesting commercials.
-
All Geico commercials are annoying. I usually laugh when I see them the FIRST time and only the first time but they air too many of them too often and it's frustrating to think that they put all this money into commercials and they could be giving customers free insurance for a year for what they pay to make and air those commercials.
Progressive, AllState, Liberty Mutual, and Nationwide fall into that group, too, but Progressive is worse than Geico.
The Peter Pan one is the most hateful since I don't need to be reminded that 1965 didn't happen 10 years ago like I pretend. :)
-
Actually I don't mind most of the Geico commercials but the Peter Pan one really turns me off. I would just like to smack him up the side of the head.
-
I think it is funny...very funny! That long, long nose!
-
I have seen better commercials than that geico commercial with Peter Pan.Bring back the geico lizard. :present: :present:
-
They should stick with the usual. Can't stand that commercial!!!
-
He is a jerk. I tune it out as much as possible. If some one were to talk like that too me I might just have to punch him out. So disrespect ful.
-
At first, I thought the commercial was funny and witty. Now, it's getting on my nerves. What really kills me is at the end of the commercial, he's eating a piece of jumbo shrimp. I don't know about you, but when I was his age, I wasn't really into shrimp. I don't think most kids are, and if they are, it's usually breaded and in a popcorn form. Then the kid drags his foot across the guy's face, if that was me, I'd pull that kid's shoe off and throw it at him!
-
Those Geico commercials are hit or miss. There's really no in-between.
-
Right on Vickysue and Froggylover227! Actually, I might take that shoe and stuff it down the little brat's throat!
-
I'm sorry but....
I thought it was kinda funny. Especially when he drugged his foot (unintentionally) across the mans face when he was flying. Yes, Peter Pan is annoying (and rude), but that's the point....The commercial(s) that I HATE the most, are those stupid Skittles commercials.
