Remember when the Geico Gecko first appeared in commercials? He was pretty much anti-Geico.
He kept getting wrong numbers, people kept expecting him to be able to save them money on car insurance, he was getting audited by the IRS... his life seemed pretty hectic, and all due to the fact that his name was similar to the insurance company's.
And then, somewhere along the line, things changed.
He now works for Geico. He was voted Employee of the Month and was given a company car. He is now synonymous with the company he once so-readily despised.
And in the latest batch of commercials, he's training other lizards to also become corporate shills!! Where does it end? When all the cold-blooded animals on earth work in the insurance field?
Sad.
What happened to you, Gecko? You used to be cool.

Even geckos can sell out!
He also used to have a completely different accent.
It's pretty obvious that the real Gecko was taken out, and replaced with a corporate lackey gecko.
It's that sinister.
Pniktu.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?
Was that the point of him? Right! I saw a commercial with him in it just last week. It freaked me up.
