Funny Commercials

I have been watching some funny commercial lately. Geico always has funny commercials. I really like the new one with the raccoons. The reason why it is so funny is because it rings true. Why do we want other people to taste something that tastes bad? Growing up, my mom would always say, "Taste this. Does this taste funny to you? Does it taste bad?" Of course we would then taste it and then make a sour face. "Eww! That tastes nasty!" we would say. Why do we continue this tradition? I do the same with my daughter. If something tastes strange, why do I want others to share in its putrid nature? I suppose we want verification of our suspicions. It is a good thing, however, that we don't follow that same prescription with Ebola or other viruses.  "Does this taste like Ebola to you?  Taste it!  Does this taste like Salmonella to you?  Try it and see!" Nope! We don't share Listeria from cookie dough ice cream. I am sure that the workers at Blue Bell didn't have that conversation. "Does this taste like Listeria to you?" Nope. It is a good thing that we do not share the Listeria. I am glad that we don't. But...I think it is time that we abandon the nasty taste test. It would and could be bad for our health. This practice needs to be discontinued. Just sayin'.

Funny Scapegoat Commercial from Geico

My life is simple. Very simple. I just want to laugh. When I want a good laugh while I watching TV, I  look out for the Geico commercials. I love the camel/hump day commercial, the analogies commercials...as a happy as a witch in a broom factory, as happy as a . . . I especially love the new one with the scapegoat. After the manager of the peanut butter plant witnesses a disaster in the making, he asks, "Who is responsible for this?" The workers immediately blame it all on the "scapegoat".  The scapegoat is a real goat with an attitude.  This scapegoat is so hilarious in this commercial.  The producers of this commercial get a close up of the goat talking some smack with the female worker. This comical part leads the audience to infer that Rick, the scapegoat, has said something very offensive to the female worker. The lady gets miffed at the scapegoat's choice of bleats. This worker is then ready to throw down and start a brawl over the goat's words. It made me chuckle.  I cannot wait for the next commercial from Geico! What will those witty minds come up with next?  Cheesy and hilarious! Great combination! Love it!
