...having Doofy turn towards the camera and saying "But the good news is I just saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Geico"

Unfortunately, Doofy used his renowned wiring skills to install a new car stereo, setting the dashboard on fire, and making his Geico claims adjuster....

..deny the claim, based on the "No Doofy wiring allowed" clause, which was hidden in the fine print of the policy under Section ND-1, Part 6, Paragraph 4, Subpart 3, Sentence 2, Words 7-200, inclusive.
