Anybody else think this Geico commercial is a little mean-spirited?

[Brigid]

Seems to me that by the looks of that house, they could come up with other ways to save money than making sushi out of their daughter's pet goldfish! :rofl:

1. I

hate that commercial

[Danmel]

2. It is sick

Not funny @ all. I change the channel when it comes on. Eating your kids pet?? Really?? Ewwww, just ewwwww.

[siligut]

3. I change the channel

It doesn't even make economic sense and they killed a pet, just dumb and as you say, mean-spirited.

[AngryOldDem]

4. I cringe whenever that comes on.

Just bad.

[suninvited]

5. Geico does a lot of commercials about saving money in crazy ways

the point being "you don't have to go to these lengths to save money if you just change your insurance to Geico". I find a lot of the commercials to be chuckle worthy and clever. This one included.

6. I love those commercials

They are funny, though IMO the wood chuck commercial is still tops for insurance.

[Iggo]

7. Me, too.

And those woodchucks are dicks!:rofl:

8. Thank you. I'm glad someone else is offended.

I hate that damn commercial. I change the channel every time I see it start. It's gross!

9. Eating a family member's pets is not funny. Ever.

10. Bad health problems could crop up

Those freshwater fish pretty much all carry bad parasites that could bother you bad. Not so with the salt water fish.
Not a good example and its creepy.

11. lol I guess I'm a bastard

because that one makes me laugh every time.

Just the look on the guy's face when he says "Whatcha gonna do? :shrug:"

[dr.strangelove]

14. I'm with you

its hysterical.

Lets be real, its theater of the absurd, thats why its funny.

[elleng]

12. Yes. They've had some really good ones,

my faves the gecko, of course.

[OriginalGeek]

13. My daughter thinks the commercial is funny too

however she is NOT amused that I have started calling her fish "Sushi".

[RebelOne]

15. I have not seen that one.

I guess it is not being aired in Georgia. But if it did come on, I would certainly change the channel.

[frogmarch]

16. It makes me sick.

Nothing funny about it.

[Akoto]

17. Doesn't bother me. I love the robot daycare one.

18. Usually I like sick humor, but this one ... bleah.

I've had goldfish that seemed pretty darn smart, and the thought of eating them makes my stomach feel queasy. Yeah, it's just a joke, but ... ick.

[a kennedy]

19. hate it, and I too change the channel.....

:puke:

20. Absolutely Fucking Hilarious
