You know when you're watching YouTube and you get the opportunity to "Skip This Ad" after 5 seconds?  

Has anyone ever consciously decided to watch an entire advertisement?

Probably not.

So GEICO came up with a genius idea - they created an ad that you can't skip on YouTube, but technically, the ad is only 5 seconds long anyway.

But it's not over.

Once you take in the first 5 seconds, you're rewarded with the best part.

Take a look.

The ad centers on a family gathering around the dinner table to eat and also, talk about GEICO.

"Don't thank me, thank the savings," the mom over-enthusiastically bleats.

And then the "advertisement" is "over." But the video is one minute and 4 seconds long. 

Here's what happens in the 59 seconds before you get to whatever you're trying to watch.

Awesome.
