– – We all know that some parents can be quite cheap, so when his kids asked him for a puppy, one big-spending father depicted finding that puppies can be really expensive got them a possum instead! We see this guy in a Geico commercial working over his barbecue while his son and daughter stand over their “pet” possum, which is lying motionless at their feet; the son appears to prod the possum with his foot. “Dad, I think he’s dead,” advises the daughter. “Probably just playin’ possum,” reassures the father.
Sure enough, moments later the inert possum comes to life, rolls to his feet, and hisses at the two kids. “There he is!,” declares the vindicated father, not even bothering to look up from his grill. There’s an easier way to save money, of course…Geico Insurance!

– – The Enchanted Forest as envisioned by Psyop in a recent commercial is a wondrous place indeed, filled with sprites, smiling trees, and a variety of dancing, costumed anthropomorphic animals. There’s even a fox, a remarkably tall and slender specimen wearing shorts and a top hat! It’s essentially an environmental plug for FedEx clad as a fairy tale, and when those conventions are stripped away
– – It’s like a scene from The Twilight Zone; two incredibly wholesome-looking people come knocking at the door of their new neighbors to welcome them
– – In yet another MiO Energy Drink commercial staged at the legendary Watering Hole bar, we are shown a lemur trying to make time with the giraffe girl previously seen in another commercial of the series. With the world’s worst timing, the lemur’s efforts are ruined by the unwelcome intrusion of the hapless, unlucky-in-love crocodile character, 
– – I, for one, prefer not to see naked mole rats, especially when they’re in an obvious state of intoxication. Strange sights are known to appear with some regularity at the Watering Hole, however, a bar or pub frequented by anthropomorphic animals in a series of MiO Energy Drink commercials. 
– – Bears are sociable, party animals who enjoy indulging in a good Dairy Queen Blizzard…or so we might think from a DQ commercial which opens with a kid’s softball team called 
– – I love considering the tale of Little Red Riding Hood from the wolf’s perspective, and now it would appear that in addition to cagey little girls and woodsmen with axes, the wolf also has to contend with red Volvos as well! This commercial begins with a bright red Volvo S-60 R-Design driving down the road in a dark, scary forest! The red Volvo’s standing in for Little Red Riding Hood, ‘ya see, and it’s moving right along to a version of “Little Red Riding Hood,” originally by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs…wasn’t that a great song?!- –Everybody sing!!! 
— My better half brought home a little statue of an angel the other day; you know the type I’m talking about. They’re white resin imitating marble, widely sold at places like K-Mart, and this one stands about ten or twelve inches tall. The angel in it has unfurled wings clearly visible, curly hair, and bare feet. In its hand the angel holds a bird regarding it, the bird (probably a dove) in turn looking at the angel. I laughed hysterically for several minutes after seeing the statue, which admittedly is not a normal reaction. It did, however, reflect the way that my mind works!
