Commercials on nickelodeon/cartoon network/disney
    #14475480 - 05/18/11 09:01 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

So i have a younger brother and sister so when i visit ill be exposed to the childrens network.

Upon sitting and watching for a bit ive noticed how many car insurance/life insurance commcercials there are.

Its funny how they have gimmicky commercials too; take the geico lizard for example. Its not ok for joe camel but the lizard is okay? I know cigarettes and insurance are very different in nature but i think its time product pushing like this stops.

There are more out of place commcercials too on childrens networks.

The whole ronald mcdonald thing brought this to my mind again

He's simply being conditioned into being a consumer.
Long gone are the days of actually being treated as citizens.

This is dumb. Joe Camel was specifically targeted to impressionable teenagers with the implicit goal of getting them physically addicted to a drug which has an immediate and inescapable negative health impact, while the Geico Gecko is an adorable face to help create a brand identity for an otherwise faceless business (insurance) and nothing more.

In my professional opinion, we should be more worried about the current state of how much more awesome nerf guns and super soakers used to be.

I do agree that the insurance setup here is another part of the federal/state "government racket" wherein everything illegal is another way to recieve more of the federal printed-money pie, and that in our lifetimes there will be extensive changes in quality of life in the United States as the dollar progressively loses it's value due to this system... "Quantitative Easing" will be the end of our great run as the pack leader.

I make a valid point; a talking little gecko for car insurance being ran on a childrens network is a way to get the children to know the company. The kid might mention it and so fourth to the parents.

My point is why show a freaking car insurance commercial on a kids network? Im not losing sleep over this nor trying to be a rebel but it is silly!

And car insurance in mandatory in most states now to my knowledge.

They show car insurance commercials on most channels, I don't think kids networks are special. If you buy car insurance  because of a talking animal you're retarded.

Geico is a ripoff, so they need children to grow up thinking that it is the shit cause of a cute gecko. The one positive image they are going to think of with Geico is that cute little gecko. Let's hope it is enough to overlook their jacked up prices.

Seriously, when I was a kid I wouldn't have given a shit about this stuff, and I don't now. What's the big deal? What kids are going to give a crap? If the people don't look into this stuff by the time they can get insurance and just buy it because of a gecko then those people are fools, not Geico.

Duh!

Commcercials aren't aired randomnly. Companies select time slots and channels based on the demographic of such.

Obviously a grown adult doesnt buy car insurance based off a character smh you prove my point

So... what is the point of this thread?:lol: Geico makes bank so they advertise on as many channels as possible. Adults watch tv with their kids, that's why they advertise on kids channels.
