Gotta be 'I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa."....classic.

Hard to choose. But I went with the "research" line

ScarletKnight41 Sep 21 2006 01:21 PM

I hate the campaign, but the research line is great because it works so well in other contexts.

KC Sep 21 2006 02:31 PM

Hate? It's freakin' genius. I took the duck line. I do that line at the McDonalds drive through sometimes.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 21 2006 02:57 PM

The ads were ok the first 400-500 times. But sheesh - enough is enough!

KC Sep 21 2006 03:05 PM

You've said stuff 400-500 times and we still love you. Try it next time you eat out somewhere ... it's fun.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 21 2006 03:07 PM

Can't. My mother-in-law was going on and on about mango salsa because it was on the menu when we ate dinner out last winter. Bad association. Again, the first 400-500 times are fine. After that....

I was in Costco this afternoon and they were giving out samples of mango salsa. I cant see the stuff, much less taste it, without laughing at that commercial. One of the only commercials I stop what I am doing and watch every freakin time.

I don't have much of an appetite, thank you!

I voted "mango salsa." I really, really wanted to say that at Friendly's last week, but I chickened out when the waitress got to us.

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 07:59 AM

I make a bitchin' mango salsa, so I love that line. Later

Methead Sep 22 2006 08:10 AM

I hereby cast my vote for EVERY line in the mango salsa commercial.

KC Sep 22 2006 08:21 AM

The best part of the commercial is when cavedude makes that "cxah" sound and looks disgusted.

One of two sudden (and, on reflection, obvious) realizations that hit me in my psychedlic fever last night is that the magic about it is the completely implied but clear reality that the caveguys are gay. Like gays, it's humiliating when the cavemen catch Geico in their smug condescension, leading to ntttawwt backtracking. Their double-income, no-kids lifestyle allows them to stay in shape, wear expensive hip leisure clothes, and take sporting weekend vacations. Their home is sparse, contemporary, and spotless. They have the organzing skills, access to lawyers, and educated outrage to scare the Hell out of the Geico suits. Comfortable ordering from a haute cuisine menu. And they're two dudes who obviously live together.

Thus explaining why they died out as a race.

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 09:11 AM

Are you sure they're not just two metrosexuals who are in a platonic relationship? On second thought, metrosexuals would be better groomed. Later

Willets Point Sep 22 2006 09:12 AM

They would be into waxing and other forms of hair removal too.

metsmarathon Sep 22 2006 09:49 AM

i'm suddenly reminded of The Office from last night...

I'm not 100% in love with your attitude here.
