Help Me! Mashed Potatoes!

December 23, 2007 by WendyB

As you may have noticed, I really love Geico car insurance commercials.

  • Geico Mention #1
  • Geico Mention #2

But nothing beats the Little Richard ad.

Well, maybe this beats it.

UPDATED TO ADD: The story behind the ads, plus a tribute to real-life customer Denise Bazik where Denise commented back. I think Denise may be my new idol. Coco, look out!

    That Little Richard is quite the political pundit.

    Ha! I liked his music, but now I also love his trenchant insight into the Middle East.

    I don’t even *own* a car and those Geico commercials (including the played out Gecko) are my fave. There must be something in the water at their ad agency.

    And Happy Birthday!

    I think God gave us Little Richard to ensure we remember the child in all of us–the one who yearns to go “whooo!” and “yayayaya!”

    I think we all need to be a bit more free with our emotions.

    Oh, and he also helps us remember that perms are a very, very bad idea, which is equally important.
