GEICO will launch four TV spots today as part of a new campaign, called “Rhetorical Questions.” The new creative joins their on-air rotation as the fifth current storyline, in addition to the Gecko, Cavemen, “Talking Accidents” and googly-eyed “Kash.”
During the last 15 years, everyone’s heard GEICO’s famous tagline: “15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.”
With that in mind, GEICO’s savings message has a refreshed twist. The idea: people know this tagline so well, we could phrase it as a rhetorical question.
Each spot begins with an investigative reporter-type host, played by Mike McGlone (from The Brothers McMullen,) asking the question: “Could switching to GEICO really save you 15% or more on car insurance?”
Well…
“Is Ed “Too Tall” Jones too tall?”
“Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?”
“Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter R?”
“Did The Waltons take way too long to say goodnight?”
Here's Charlie shredding it up good in his spot below...
Where was the Charlie Daniels' Geico commercial filmed??
ReplyDeletewhats the name of the song he plays
ReplyDeleteWhy the heck does he say "Johnny Daniels" instead of Charlie Daniels???
ReplyDeleteAt the end when he's walking away, what does Charlie pick up from the table and point at those people sitting there?
ReplyDeleteI hear "Johnny Daniels" as well. Oh and i think it was a bread stick that he picked up from a basket on the table.
ReplyDeleteI didn't use to think I was hearing "Johnny Daniels" until I read the comments here - now that is ALL I hear! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am about positive he's playing the beginning to Hoe-down from Rodeo; (Beef its what's for dinner used it)
ReplyDeleteWhat are the exact words Charlie says as he hands the fiddle back to the musician?
ReplyDelete"That's how you do it son."
ReplyDeleteIn some of the commercials he says "Johnny Daniels" while in others, he correctly says "Charlie Daniels". Odd.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard the Charlie Daniels version, only the Johnny Daniels version. I can't believe such a big mistake made it on the air. How it continues to be aired on CNBC is beyond all reason!
ReplyDeleteThey should make one where he asks, "Does Paula Deen like butter?"
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Charlie not Johnny, you douche bags! How could this still be airing?
