What’s your favorite car insurance gimmick? The talking gecko? The gruff cowboy? What makes you feel the most automotive safety?

I like the new one from Mercury (www.mercurytheory.com). If you haven’t seen it they are making the claim that the owners of Mercury are from Mercury and they’ve got all the corroborative evidence including a 10X magnification of burnt toast (check out the slides) that proves everything. Makes me chuckle.

I like the one where the squirrels high-five each other after causing an accident.

Seen it a million times, but it's still an okay commercial.

I like that one and also the Geico one with the cavemen, but I think my favorite is the Mercury one where the "UFO expert" is convinced that he's found evidence in the backwoods of some hick state, and he meets said hick and the guy shows him the "alien" and the ufo expert is like "That's an armadillo".

I still like the spoof on the reality TV show where the house is built TOO SMALL! I love it when the guy tries to get lucky in the super tiny bed and she says "Are you kidding me!"

I also dig the cavemen one. "I don't have much of an appetite, thanks."

I heard a lot of people wrote in suggesting that the studios make a real version of that. Heh, popular idea. Oh by the way the commercial I posted above is on the site I posted in the initial post (that's why I try to always include a link to whatever I'm talking about), once the site is loaded you click on the TV in the upper right corner (it says "video evidence"). They have all the commercials from that series on there, my fave is the 4th one "Captured". Cute gimmick.

I am starting to dig the Geiko commercials where the cleb's help the 'real' person tell the story. Burt Bacharach's is especially delicious.

My favorite ones have to be the Mercury ones. The Geiko Gecko are always good too.
