I am not sure what is funnier the reaction of his “co-workers” or the unbridled excitement of the camel in GEICO’s Hump Day commercial. Either way viewers apparently love the ad – in fact according to UPI’s story, CBS News reported the ad as the most shared during the summer. 

Now comes news that teachers in Connecticut find the students constantly quoting the commercial as so annoying they are banning it. Now, I would think there are a few things more important than banning quotes from this TV ad, but maybe the bigger news is the fact it must be a slow news day if this story made the top 10 trending topics on Yahoo on a Sunday morning.
