Geico lets Don LaFontaine do his thing The joke’s getting a bit old, but it’s still fun to see Don LaFontaine, “that announcer guy from the movies,” giving an unnecessary, ultra-dramatic voiceover in yet another ad, this time for Geico. Love his pose as he delivers the lines. Check out a 2005 Good Morning America profile on Don here. —Posted by Tim Nudd

This is the best spot of the campaign so far. His lines could have been funnier, though.

Yeah, this campaign is pretty flat for Geico.

The Martin Agency must have a few juniors working on this round.

Not completely original... but the movie trailer for the movie Comedain did it much better! This just kills me:
