Poll: Worst Auto-Insurance Ads?
We've discussed TV auto-insurance ads on CAR CHAT before (many of us agree those ads are an insult to one's intelligence), but I don't think we've ever had a formal poll on them. So.....what's your take on the worst of them? (or the best, if you actually like any of them).

Yeah, they finally had to slow down the General's too-fast, gruff-voice in the ad's sign-off so you could actually make out what he was saying.
To me, all of the ads I listed are silly, but I think the worst is probably a tie between GEICO's Cave-Man and Money-Bundle ads. A shame, too, because I think it's a pretty good company overall.....I've been with them for almost 30 years, and have been treated very well.
Progressive's Flo can get on your nerves with her silly acting, but she is perky and cute.

The caveman ones are just awful. I don't even know if they use them anymore.
The General ones are annoying, and really low quality - makes me think that they're a really shady company.
I've never even seen the googly eyed stack of money.
The Gecko used to be slightly cute and funny, but it's gotten old and annoying.
The Allstate commercials... Well, the combination of a smooth talking black guy and mild backgrounds make for tolerable ads.
Progressive ads are tolerable for me.
I really like the Statefarm ads even if I know nothing about their actual policies.
