GEICO makes me happier than …

Here at GEICO, we hear stories every day about people who have switched to GEICO; they love to share how much they saved via Facebook and Twitter. That got us thinking: sure, switching to GEICO could make people pretty happy, but how happy?
That’s the question we’re hoping to answer with a new set of commercials that have already started showing up on your TV. We’re calling it “Happier Than …” It’s a way to bring some happiness to your TV screen and let you know just how happy you could be by switching to GEICO.
Our first commercial here stars the famous Gallagher – you know, the one who hits watermelons with a huge mallet. In answering the question, “How happy are people who switch to GEICO,” we hear the first of many responses: happier than Gallagher at a farmers market. What other source of happiness will appear? You’ll see many more soon, but one involves a famous explorer of the new world.
So, what does GEICO make you happier than? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter, or right here in the comments.
I would like to see “Happier than a bull in a china shop”.
Happier than a Holy Roller in a Baptism Pool
Happier than a fox locked overnight in a henhouse
Happier than Kirk Franklin on a step team
Happier than a man at a womens prison holding a stack of pardons.
i came up with a good one while weedeating and mowing my yard … happier than buddhist monks with power tools lol imagine walking into a monastery and everything beautiful, the grass is cut, the bushes are shaped and then it pans over to monks using zero turn mowers and hedge clippers, blowers and what not … i think it would be awesome!
Happier than:
Ray Lewis sacking quarterbacks.
Kim Jong Il with REAL missiles.
O.J Simpson with kiddie gloves.
A Hollywood divorce lawyer
Michael vick at a dog pound
Joan Rivers in a botox factory .
George Michael as a park ranger
Tarzan at a Bass Pro Shop
The banjo guys kill the humor and are insulting to the intelligence of the audience. Just show the bit and then have the logo say ‘Get Happy’. The audience will enjoy figuring it out and the joke will play much better.
Happier than a chameleon in a paint store.
Auto insurance is an Accident Lottery ticket. Pursuit-of-happiness management–a low-cost entry fee ramps up the dream payoff–you survive an accident, and snag a handsome settlement, all the while servicing your debt to the collective malaise. Kudos, Mad-Ave. magicians! The “Electric Horseman” theme gone bananas! How happy are we Ronnie? Not quite as happy as Alex with his residual checks, enh?
