This one is a good example of a commercial that has nothing to do with the product it's supposedly advertising.
I really don't understand this commercial. Is it supposed to be a drama? Is it playing off of soap operas? I just can't get a grip around what the commercial is all about. If a woman wants Pinesol do attractive business men show up at her door? If a man's wife is pouting on the balcony can he use Pinesol to win her back over? What are they trying to tell me about what Pinesol does? The one thing I do know is that I won't be buying any.

Excuse me, Flo? What's the Soup De Jour?
I'm probably going to catch some flak for saying this, but I find Flo's blatant "Utah" style and personality annoying. The overdone makeup and the "Hollywood Bump-it" hair just don't really appeal to me and her jokes are a bit forced. There is also something about watching a man in a big money suit trying his hardest to dance by just spinning and shaking his feet that I find uneasy and makes me tense up. Tense and uneasy are not feelings that I want to feel while thinking about buying insurance from a particular company.
Geico, this is disappointing.
Normally I like Geico commercials, but this one is uncharacteristically bad.
It's never a good thing when it's obvious that little effort was put into making a commercial. It's even worse to ADMIT that you didn't put much effort into it. It's like a slap in the face to the consumer. It's like they're saying "It doesn't matter what we do, you idiots are going to buy our insurance." I don't like being patronized like that. I've come to expect a lot more from a Geico commercial.

Would you like some cheese to go with that diamond?
This is probably one of the cheesiest commercials I have ever seen.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, that was terrible. I can understand the science behind making a corny commercial. It can sometimes be used as an effective marketing tool. But that really only works if the commercial is TRYING to be corny. It's obvious that Kay was trying to make a serious commercial. The problems with this commercial boil down to horrible acting. When the guy pulls out the ring and has that goofy look on his face, I can't help but bust out laughing. I lost a lot of respect for the legitimacy of Kay by watching this commercial.
