Donald Trump’s Next Issue: Getting Geico Ads He Hates Off the Air

by Jack Stuef  11:14 am April 28, 2011


Now that Donald Trump has declared victory on President Obama’s birth certificate he can return to the REAL issue of his campaign, which, according to this video blog from his desk a month ago, is that an actor in television advertisements for Geico should not be in those advertisements. Look, Trump likes the talking lizard guy. He can respect that. But what America does not need is a man who makes old white businessmen seem out of touch (HMM), so Trump is going to fix this, with politics. GET RID OF THAT GEICO AD, CONGRESS.

Trump puts up vlog entries on YouTube all the time, just like any other 13-year-old child. Here’s a vlog he released today:

Is that bronze thing back there John F. Kennedy, or is it supposed to be Trump? (Yeah, we all know the answer to that one.)

We do see what appears to a magazine with Obama on its cover over to the right, so he must be reading up on things. A magazine’s worth of things, just enough to know what asinine buttons to push.

The most interesting thing on this desk is the perfect distillation of Trump: a plastic ash tray with his name on it filled with some gaudy bits of gold. [YouTube]

Can we get rid of the Hair Club ads while we are at it?

Serolf_Divad April 28, 2011 at 11:22 am

Oh, don't you worry. he has private investigators on the ground now, looking into that guy's background. You'll be very suprised at what they reveal.

Chillwaver April 28, 2011 at 11:26 am

Sorry…pee-anxiety made me edit the comment instead of adding a new one! The original was "I'm surprised he's not going after the Allstate ads( the ones with "the black" on them).

memzilla April 28, 2011 at 11:17 am

The Geico lizard has a better haircut, but Trump is scalier.

Gratuitous World April 28, 2011 at 11:17 am

instead of watching those videos, I'm going to try to save some money on my car insurance.

DaRooster April 28, 2011 at 11:23 am

I love it when they say,"You can save UP TO 15%… or MORE"
UP TO means not more than… MORE means… well… more.

widestanceroman April 28, 2011 at 11:25 am

Agreed, it's like semi-boneless ham.

MissTaken April 28, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Or being "only kinda pregnant"

HELisforHEL April 28, 2011 at 12:37 pm

…and that describes Trump to a tee.

Weenus299 April 28, 2011 at 11:18 am

Donald Trump's so easy a caveman can imitate him.

Barb April 28, 2011 at 11:18 am

We should be discussing that Baron Von Moneypants had mob buddies who had ties to his casino. One was from an Asia mob, seriously. (allegedly)

The more he talks the more information about him comes out that he really doesn't want people to know.

horsedreamer_1 April 28, 2011 at 11:23 am

Yakkity Yakuza, don't come back!

weejee April 28, 2011 at 12:12 pm

Oh noes Barb! You have yer *allegedly* on the wrong side of the period of your first sentence. Trumpette's attorneys will be descending in 3, 2, 1…..

King Combover's saving his hair for the new AFLAC duck.

slithytoves April 28, 2011 at 11:19 am

Jack respectfully, I've had Donald Trump coverage up to here. *raises hand above head*

widestanceroman April 28, 2011 at 11:30 am

Get in line, slithy, but really, do you want to go back to dead rats in toilets?

Actually, is there any difference?

bagofmice April 28, 2011 at 11:41 am

The rat still has a better 'do?

widestanceroman April 28, 2011 at 11:45 am

You got me there.

DemmeFatale April 28, 2011 at 12:03 pm

The Donald IS tiresome, but I look at it like this: a Donald post trumps a Sarah post every time.

Troubledog April 28, 2011 at 11:19 am

Fuckin hate those GEICO ads. Stupid fucking lizard. He's not even from here. He's Australian, taking all our jobs.

nounverb911 April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am

He's not British?

horsedreamer_1 April 28, 2011 at 11:24 am

New Zealand! How many times do the Flight of the Conchords have to tell you that!?

Serolf_Divad April 28, 2011 at 11:23 am

I thought hat was supposed to be a cockney accent.

bumfug April 28, 2011 at 11:28 am

It is. He sounds just like Michael Caine. If Michael Caine was a lizard.

Troubledog April 28, 2011 at 12:16 pm

That's what they want you to think. But I had one of my accent guys look it over and it raises more questions than it answers. Wake up, sheeple. Be smart. Get the facts.

FNMA April 28, 2011 at 11:53 am

BUILD THE FENCE!

DemmeFatale April 28, 2011 at 12:05 pm

He's British (Callum Blue, I think).

elviouslyqueer April 28, 2011 at 11:19 am

Mr. Trump? Irrelevancy is on Line Two and would like to speak with you immediately.

DahBoner April 28, 2011 at 11:39 am

Yeah, I have a hard time believing Trump actually owns a "desk".

A mirror, yes, I can believe…

Buzz Feedback April 28, 2011 at 11:20 am

He's got those vulva eyes like Scarborough.

freakishlywrong April 28, 2011 at 11:30 am

And that wife. She's squints because someone told her it's "sexy". She looks consistently constipated.

Jukesgrrl April 28, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Mrs. Strumpette?

freakishlywrong April 28, 2011 at 11:46 am

Oh, and "vulva eyes" is a keeper.

jus_wonderin April 28, 2011 at 12:11 pm

Didn't Kim Carnes have a hit with "Bet He Vulva Eyes"?

JustPixelz April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am

He's so proud of being wrong about the birth certificate, he can move on to being wrong about everything else. And when you're wrong I will be happy to point it out so you can be more prouder.

tessiee April 28, 2011 at 1:54 pm

He's very, very, very, very proud.

GuyClinch April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am

"Everytime I'm by a television it's on over and over and over again…" – Trump.

Funny, I'm just as fed up with this other terrible guy who's always on the fucking teevee, pushing poop out of his sphincter-mouth.

elviouslyqueer April 28, 2011 at 11:26 am

Glenn Beck? Oh.

Hatrabbit April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am

So he wants the Geico guy booted off the teevs but was perfectly happy for The Situation to do the worlds shittiest stand up spot, in his honor, at the roast.

Blendergoathead April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am

Yeah, what happened to the good old days, when it was wall-to-wall Snowgrifter? At least she has tits.

tessiee April 28, 2011 at 1:55 pm

So does Dondi, but his are real.

WhatTheHolyHeck April 28, 2011 at 3:10 pm

The only thing about her I either admire or covet is her shoe collection. Imelda Snowbilly has some amazing pumps.

BaldarTFlagass April 28, 2011 at 11:22 am

The Guy From Boston and the Kid From Brooklyn both have better production values. And make more sense.

Andrew Drinker April 28, 2011 at 1:29 pm

Shit, Basil Marceaux would outwit him in a battle of the minds.

widestanceroman April 28, 2011 at 11:23 am

Why is he sitting in that shitty used car salesman's office?

If Trump really cared about America, he'd buy the Progressive Auto Insurance company and have the spokeswoman, Stephanie Courtney, rubbed out.

BaldarTFlagass April 28, 2011 at 11:27 am

I dunno, I'd kinda like to "do" her. Especially after I saw the bobble head.

metamarcisf April 28, 2011 at 11:33 am

There's a bobble-head now? I take it all back. We're looking at Trump's VP candidate here.

SorosBot April 28, 2011 at 11:34 am

I thought she was cute back when she on Angel, but find the Flo character too annoying.

natoslug April 28, 2011 at 11:43 am

Who did she play on Angel?

HELisforHEL April 28, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Awww, I kinda like her. She reminds me of some the young punk girls who hang around the clubs–Roller Derby, Japanese school uniforms, dig all types of music; they're adorable and usually pretty cool.

Fred_Wertham_Jr April 28, 2011 at 11:24 am

That old guy is supposed to be a comedic version of Warren Buffett (GEICO is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.) I bet Warren loves those ads.

CapeClod April 28, 2011 at 11:25 am

I guess we know which company refused to buy ad space on Celebrity Apprentice.

horsedreamer_1 April 28, 2011 at 11:25 am

Trump heard about the individual mandate & got confused.

Boojum_Reborn April 28, 2011 at 12:10 pm

He thought it would lead to universal gay marriage.

EatsBabyDingos April 28, 2011 at 11:25 am

Huh. I figured he was going after the Caveman for having better hair than The Donut.

Why "The Donut?" Because he is round, starchy, empty in the middle, and ultimately bad for you. In the background, he also has two pairs of scissors, one a lefty and one a righty, to show he is dumbedextrous; ie, incompetent on the right or the left.

DonnyKerabotsos April 28, 2011 at 11:26 am

Can GEICO really save you fifteen percent in fifteen minutes?

Is Donald Trump a self-aggrandizing, simple minded asshole?

Chet Kincaid April 28, 2011 at 2:20 pm

Win.

Hatrabbit April 28, 2011 at 11:26 am

He should just whip it out and start masturbating on camera, it wouldn't even add to the gross factor at this point.

Ruhe April 28, 2011 at 11:45 am

Bad Candidate.

LabRodent April 28, 2011 at 11:27 am

My Friend from Spain called and just Laughed for two minutes then hung up. I think hes be watching the American news channels again.

His head IS an asshole wearing a wig.

chicken_thief April 28, 2011 at 11:54 am

As creepy alive looking as that chunk of fur is, it may be more like "a wig wearing an asshole".

Hatrabbit April 28, 2011 at 11:29 am

I kinda like that actor guy who thinks he's Humphrey Bogart but I really hate that Rich Fuck who thinks he's the next President.

freakishlywrong April 28, 2011 at 11:29 am

Fuck all. Whatever he's paying that "wife" of his is not enough.

Barb April 28, 2011 at 11:30 am

What about the guy who plays the character from the Geico commercial "Would a Drill Sergeant Make a Good Therapist?" R Lee Ermy
His spoke of the Obama administration, "We should all rise up and stop this administration from what they're doing because they're destroying this country. They're driving us into bankruptcy so they can impose socialism."

Did anyone try to get him fired from anything?

BaldarTFlagass April 28, 2011 at 11:33 am

They tried, but he beat them up with a tire iron.

freakishlywrong April 28, 2011 at 11:49 am

Yeah. He did that during a toy drive. In front of active duty Marines. He did apologize, but it was an apology like the one the carnival barker is going to make when he realizes he's no longer acceptable company and people start boycotting his shows.

DustBowlBlues April 28, 2011 at 11:52 am

Not hard enough. Geico refused to let him go, but they don't seem to be running those commercials, at least not on PBS, MSNBC, during 30 Rock or during Glee. I wouldn't know about the other shit.

HELisforHEL April 28, 2011 at 12:19 pm

He's another typical old geezer without a clue. Lots of them in my town, always reliving their glory days in the Pacific and driving into storefronts and bus signs, always standing around the local donut shop flapping their polydent jaws about teh socializms, too much money in the education budget, etc. I'm a near-geezer myself and I can't stand these idiots.
Props to all for serving their country (and to him for being awesome in Full Metal Jacket), but that doesn't make any Vet an authority on anything. Hmmm, why am I suddenly thinking about WALNUTS!1! ?

fartknocker April 28, 2011 at 11:34 am

I personally want to watch a televised cage fight with Turdrump and the Nationwide Insurance guy with an equally bad haircut and the blue telephone. I think Nationwide chap hitting old Donny in the jaw with his tele-e-ophone and breaking it would be great entertainment. What would be even better is if we can pay the Nationwide guy (after breaking Turdrump's Jaw) to tell America, "the next jaw I will be break will be the first tin-foil wearing TeaTard who mutters the phrase birth certificate."

DustBowlBlues April 28, 2011 at 11:57 am

I see a perfect product placement opportunity for Head On in this one.

DaRooster April 28, 2011 at 11:35 am

"We do see what appears to a magazine with Obama on its cover over to the right, so he must be reading up on things."
Or just looking at the pictures… he has investigators to read stuff for him.

And also, too… he can afford to build a friggin' ballroom for the Prez but he can't get an office big enough to have 2 stacks of magazines or a counter so he can spread those pictures out a li'l bit?

Jukesgrrl April 28, 2011 at 5:25 pm

I find it interesting that I've never seen a photo of him with a personal communication device like a Blackberry. Do secretaries place and take all his calls, in addition to reading and printing the Internet for him? Does he even know HOW to text? I guess he's practicing for the presidency when the Secret Service won't permit him to use a cell phone.

…how China is taking our jobs

Is this twit for real?

China does not take our jobs. Our beloved Corporations give the jobs to China to make maximum profits on low cast labor.

Trump old boy, at least try and get some facts into your rantings, please.

DangerHelvetica April 28, 2011 at 11:38 am

Corporations like the one producing Trump's clothing line, natch.

SorosBot April 28, 2011 at 11:36 am

Given his support of birtherism, I would have predicted Trump to instead go after those Allstate ads with America's first black President, David Palmer.

Sue4466 April 28, 2011 at 11:44 am

Where's Palmer's birth certificate? where's his insurance policy?

Barb April 28, 2011 at 11:37 am

Lol, Soros! He went before Congress and tried to dirt bag the Indian casinos, saying that they would be "crawling with the mob" and that he's spent more on security to keep the mob out than the Indians (feathers, not dots) spend on their whole casino. Once you are lying to oppress competition, you rise to a new level of douchebaggery.

baconzgood April 28, 2011 at 11:39 am

It's like the time I did a youtube and spouted off about getting rid of John Tesh…only not as drunk.

OkieDokieDog April 28, 2011 at 11:43 am

Was this to get him off of ET or to make him quit his lounge lizard piano man act?
Either one works for me.

baconzgood April 28, 2011 at 11:48 am

"Get rid of" with extreme prejudice. Get what I mean….

Native_of_SL_UT April 28, 2011 at 11:55 am

My wife and I always do that dead pool thing at the beginning of every new year and every year I pick John Tesh.
Don't know why, just seems like a good idea.

MissTaken April 28, 2011 at 12:34 pm

If Trump promised to "get rid of" John Tesh while Prez he would totally get my vote. That piece of shit is the antichrist.

Callyson April 28, 2011 at 11:40 am

I love how The Donald says it's time to talk about China "taking" our jobs, as if American corporations' decisions to offshore manufacturing in order to get more and more profits for their executives and shareholders had *nothing* to do with it. Those damn Chinese came after us with guns–we had no choice!

SorosBot April 28, 2011 at 11:50 am

Well it's not he's directly responsible for China "taking" some of those jobs, like in clothing manufacturing, or anything.

Not_So_Much April 28, 2011 at 11:42 am

"filled with some gaudy bits of gold."

He keeps his own poo on his desk? Yeah, that fits.

Dudleydidwrong April 28, 2011 at 1:07 pm

That's what is encased in that shiny thing behind his left ear. That chunk of fecal matter is something that made him proud. "Look how BIG it is!"

Sue4466 April 28, 2011 at 11:43 am

Geico needs to bring back the talking pothole.

MissTaken April 28, 2011 at 12:35 pm

I don't think Trump is willing to do Geico commercials.

Monsieur_Grumpe April 28, 2011 at 11:43 am

Palin can learn from this one.

chicken_thief April 28, 2011 at 12:04 pm

Trig, maybe. Sarah couldn't learn if you tattooed it on her goddamn palm.

Badonkadonkette April 28, 2011 at 11:44 am

Well I've got to hand it to him, he certainly doesn't hesitate to tackle the country's most irrelevant issues.

Pithaughn April 28, 2011 at 11:44 am

Curious, they allow him to play with scissors.

Sue4466 April 28, 2011 at 11:44 am

Next up from Trump: I want to see Obama's car insurance policy! not the card, but the long form policy!

Chillwaver April 28, 2011 at 11:45 am

I doubt Donald has any friends or close family members, so like any good psychopath, he keeps pictures (in the background) of his victims (i.e "investors").

HELisforHEL April 28, 2011 at 12:07 pm

Or 'his people' just leave the photos that come in the frames in there.

undeterredbyreality April 28, 2011 at 11:45 am

Apologies if retweeting is inappropriate, but anybody who missed this really needs to see it and make it go viral:

natoslug April 28, 2011 at 11:46 am

What happened between 3/21 and 4/28 to build Trump's interest in scissoring? Did he finally discover that there's porn on the computer machine?

Doktor Zoom April 28, 2011 at 11:46 am

I'm looking forward to the night of his acceptance speech at the 2012 Republican convention. Before the applause and cheers have died away, he will wave to the crowd and remove that ridiculous "Donald Trump" rubber mask, revealing a smiling Andy Kaufman, visibly aged but still easily recognizable. Without any word of explanation, a cheap record player will rise from a trapdoor next to the podium and Andy will perform a shortened version of his "Mighty Mouse Song" routine, and then a few bars of "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love." Finally, he will use magician's flash powder to "disappear" from the stage, and will again vanish from public life for years, leaving us to ponder what wacky stunt he'll pull next.

Ruhe April 28, 2011 at 11:48 am

Do you think Donald will be disappointed when he gets to his first debate and none of the questions are about insurance commercials?

anteater April 28, 2011 at 11:56 am

Geckos are from Hawaii, at least that what all their birth certificates say.

CalamityJames April 28, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Actually, I think we're up to 135. I got some pretty sweet footage of the "dust-ball" as it passed by.

natoslug April 28, 2011 at 12:27 pm

I think I might remember her, but sometimes all of Angel's pouting kind of made the episodes run together. You're undead, you're unnaturally strong and fast and ridiculously lucky — quit looking constipated all the time. Blood isn't THAT binding, is it?

I'll have to check with my resident Angel expert and see if he remembers it. I knew there was a reason I kept an 11 year-old around.

ttommyunger April 28, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Is that THREE pair of scissors behind him next to the "World's Biggest Blowhard" Coffee Mug? Talk about excess! Oh well, I guess he can afford them.

KommunistKitty April 28, 2011 at 12:53 pm

Trump's wig is growing at such an alarming rate that he must keep TWO pairs of scissors within arms reach at all times.

donner_froh April 28, 2011 at 12:59 pm

it's on over and over and over again.</l>

My television set has a button that I can use to change the channel and another one I can use to turn it off. Trump should look into that technology–it might make his life less filled with fear and anger.

JustPixelz April 28, 2011 at 1:18 pm

I agree with everything Trumpette is saying, except change "Geico ad" to "Donald Trump talking".
