This is cute. Honestly, the part that made me decide to post this on my stock investing blog is Warren Buffett directing the rock band..er..Geico Service Team.
The Geico Gecco jamming on the guitar was a nice touch, also.

Worth repeating, may be my call center background, but can't help but smile ear to ear when I see this! You go Warren! Maybe I should switch to Geico....
Just so everyone watching knows, the Axel Rose old guy is usually one of the top three richest men in the world, Warren Buffet (and he is going to give 99% of his wealth to charity soon, or so I hear)
Hey old man! Good show! Excellent motivation for the guys working for you I bet.
Unfortunatelly we don`t have people with that sence of humor in your paygrade in Germany... All they would do is maybe a "sad song" ;-) Hope you live another 50 years!
Being able to not take oneself too seriously and insert a bit of fun: Great Ad, wants me make to buy an insurance or even think to work for that company...
Warren & the Geico Staff, The video is great, but the insurance falls short because you won't underwrite ANNUAL contracts. I've contacted you repeatedly on this issue several years running. Want this safe-driver (and excellent credit risk) non-smoker, no-OUI/DUI/DWI 40-something? Simple: 1) Offer an ANNUAL contract so I can price it against my present one. I will not consider a semi-annual. Too much paper! 2) Advertise that fact. I'll be watching your commercials. Hoping for change y'all
Haha Funny, Nice that a CEO of his level has a good sense of humor. Next one please put Warren, Caveman and the gecko together :) ...... Or better yet have Warren feature in Undercover Boss even if it takes someone from Hollywood to do a make up so others can't recognize him. :)
Actually, Warren is in third place and Bill is in second place: "Warren Buffett placed third on the annual Forbes list of the world's billionaires, behind Mexico's Carlos Slim and then close pal Bill Gates. Slim's estimated $53.5 billion net worth beat out Gates' by a lousy $500 million" according to Examinerdotcom.
@BikeStorck. Over the last five years, Mr. Buffett has donated nine billions to charity (most of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). Had he kept that money he would still be the richest person in the world, but then, who's counting :)
Geepers. This is 2010, are we allowed to smile at this ? I want to smile, it feels right to smile. But, if I smile will I in be perceived as being as being partisan ? Big business and funny ? Is that allowed ?
On behalf of call center employees throught the country... THANK YOU for this amazingly produced music video!!! You've truly captured the essence of what our jobs are all about; Great customer service, and rocking it out!

Wow, whether you liked it or not, you have to give him credit for the energy at his age!!! Rock on Warren! And who was that "lead" guy singer? Another wow!
I think Warren Buffett had a great time making this & that is all that matters! It goes to show that you're never too old, or rich (not that it matters) to ROCK! Warren you're my hero of the day! Rock On!
Too many jokes jammed into too short a space. The theme was all over the place. Is it about the guy in the geko costume, the employees, or Warren Buffett as Axl Rose? Too few people know who Buffett or Rose are today. Good try that belly-flops.
Indeed, it would have been better if someone had CG'd the Geico lizard in there.. I mean buffet has enough money to have a life-sized geko CG'd in that music video right? lol
