To avoid having their message lost in the pre-roll "skip ad" dance we all do, Geico not only put their ads punchline in the first five seconds... They also made the ad "unskippable". As soon as mom has delivered her line, the whole family freezes... and the giant dog takes advantage of the situation.
How the little kids didn't squeal with laughter I'll never know. Someone give these kids ad awards for "best stoneface".
