R. Lee Ermey shines in Geico's 'Sarge' spot

This Geico spot has been out for a while, but it bears mentioning, as it stars R. Lee Ermey as a drill sergeant turned therapist (whose incompetence in his new job answers the Geico spokesman's rhetorical question about Geico at the beginning). Ermey is doubly perfect for the role: First, he actually was a U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor during the Vietnam War. And later, of course, he turned in a memorably frightening performance as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.
