Geico’s Kash Still Watching

The Martin agency has added two new spots to the Geico Kash campaign. That’s the campaign in which the creepy looking stack of money with eyeballs appears seemingly to indicate the money one could have saved had one been a Geico customer.

The interesting thing about these spots is that they are so random. In one, a roofer tells another roofer he’s being scoped out, one assumes, by a girl. As it turns out, it’s just that creepy stack of Geico money. In another, a man stops to ask a guy working on a fence for directions. After a longish pause in which the guy in the car considers how the hell he’s going to get where he’s going, he notices the Geico stack of money. Fence guy looks and says, “Poor fella. He must have following your for miles. Looks tired.”

Cue mid-eighties dance tune Somebody’s Watching Me.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
