Geico's Free Range Chicken commercial is one of the best ads I've seen in quite a while. It tickles me to see the hen ride off into the sunset on top of a freight train. The music sets the mood and the chicken does the rest. Doesn't have a thing to do with selling insurance but it's so clever that I want to see it again and again.

I don't have regular tv so I don't see that many commercials, but this one does come up on my hulu and I thought it was pretty funny too! :)

I love that commercial. It tickles me, too!

Funny thing is while us farmgirls know it's a hen, the man in the commercial refers to it as a "he" when he says "He keeps sending us pictures".

Our family has silly debates about whether they should've just used a rooster and why did they use a hen but call her a he, etc... Not really world changing discussions but it makes for fun conversation.

Googled it to see it! Yeap, I would agree, nice commercial. Oh course, I'm partial to chickens! Since I do not watch TV, it's nice to be able to google the good commercials. Thanks for suggesting it!

Sara, I love this ad too!! The music, the theme,the message is just so creative. I think GEICO has one of the best creative advertising teams in the industry.

While I'm visiting my daughter Robin we have enjoyed it several times. Cracks me up with the gentleman's comments about the pictures being sent! Clever ad!

P.S. My son-in-law was asking Robin and I where Miss Hen kept her cell phone and we told him she tucked it up safely under her wing.

"Oh where Oh where did my free range hens go, oh where oh where could they be?" I guess no one can blame the wildlife anymore, unless the hens are at the local bar and grill, LMAO...

I like the commercial too. The farmer is so serious. I do miss Wilson the pig though. And no one does a tear jerker better than Bud.

That chicken commercial is my favorite. Makes me think of all us free range farmgirls.
