We see a man on a front lawn of a house, chopping wood with his hands and feet. His wife is nearby, positioning each piece of wood on a block for her spouse. A passerby wonders what’s going on. They explain that karate relieves the stress of home buying.

The passerby offers some solace in that at least they don’t have to worry about home insurance thanks to GEICO.

Harold Einstein of production house Dummy directed “Karate” for The Martin Agency, Richmond, Va.
