Today's Character
The Aussie-accented gecko spokesman for GEICO typically has a very pleasant, wholesome demeanor that hides the fact that he's actually kind of a wise-ass. He actually has an official name. It's Martin. But I'd be stunned if you knew that. I had to look it up myself. We're just calling him the Gecko here.

Yeah, sure. I enjoy most of his commercials.

Yes

Yes

I'll admit he's lost some of his charm over the years but I still find him to be one of the more likable advertising characters and perhaps the least-annoying out of insurance advertising characters specifically.

Yes!

I used to until I started seeing certain ads everywhere

no

Used to like him a lot more

Thoroughly run into the ground

Didn't go Taco Bell Dog levels of bad though so an unenthusiastic...

Yes

No

No

He's kind of an overplayed asshole, but he's effective as that kind of marketing, so yes.

Yes

Yes

Yes mostly because of this commercial.

Yes

He helped me save 50% (not just 15!) on my car insurance. Oh, and his ads are great, because GEICO.

Yes, but I greatly preferred his voice from the late 90s and early 2000s. Not as big of a fan with how they changed him.

No

Kind of neutral towards him, which is a no.

Yeah

Yes, although I'd rather see less of him.

Yes

Yes

Yes

That's a good choice, he might find a way to kill you otherwise. Errr... that's a different Dean Winters character.

Mayhem is my favorite commercial character since Terry Tate Office Linebacker.

Yes

Yeah sure

Mayhem is a good call-out. Another one of the few likable insurance sales characters. I could have sworn we'd done him but the wiki and Log Fah Kwas both say otherwise.

Yes

Yes, whenever he pops up you know you're in for a quality ad.

No

no
