Geico/Gecko jokes?

[Leonardo]

How often do you guys get a Geico Insurance reference or joke just because you own a gecko?
I've gotten so many jokes in the short 4 weeks I've owned my leo.

I don't even bother anymore, I'm sick of it. I just tell them yes, exactly like the commercials...ANNND they talk too! Then I walk away and pretend it never happened :main_no:

I'm going to throw out this classic comment: If I had a quarter for every time I've heard this, I'd be a rich man.

 

[Leonardo]

Lol. Ive told them mine is too young.

I pretty much stick with Ryans story..Yeah man jsut like the commercials. They sing talk with an accent, dance and one even has a custom grill.

haha.. my dad when i first wanted to get one he's always was like are they as good as the one on the commercial. I get tons of jokes about the geico commercial. and right when you say gecko, they think there is only one gecko, not a bunch of different kinds, then i always get questions about them changing colors.

My dad flipped a lid when I brought my little girl home. It was a spur of the moment decision and, since I moved back home, my dad expects me to clear everything with him before I do anything. As soon as he saw the little brown box I was carrying her in his eyes turned blood red. Then he realized there wasn't much he could do about it so he just became indifferent for a few weeks. Now he's warmed up to her.

The most popular comment I get is "is he going to sell me car insurance?"

I got my best friend hooked but she wants to have a higher budget before she gets one so I told her when she can afford it we can take a trip to pick her out one.

i get sometimes to " is he going to save you 15 percent on car insurance"

I hate those jokes!!! I went into the little local pharmacy to get foot powder for mold a few weeks ago. The pharmacist came up when I was looking and told me that the spray was much better and got rid of foot fungus faster and made it betwen the toes better. Stupid me had to say that it wasn't for my feet it was for my eggs . Well then I had to explain that it was for my gecko eggs. OMG, I said that and I spent 10 minutes hearing " does your sing and dance" " remember if it hatches that I want a discount on my insurance" so on and so on. Both clerks and the pharmacist had to get all the stupid jokes out of their system. Next time I will just smile and say my fungus prefers powder :main_lipsrsealed: !!!!!!

My number one response when I say I have geckos is, "Is it named Gieco?"

 

[MagPie]

No stupid jokes, but when I told a new friend I had geckos he asked me if they looked like the Geico Gecko. Just showed him pictures of one. Then we when saw the commerical of the Geckos dancing to Thriller, he asked me if I was going to have my geckos do that.

Ugghh, my mother actually called me right after the commercial aired and asked me the same thing.

HA what a great thread....I've been getting the same BS for years. I went to the hospital once just to get a tetnis shot because I was bit by a WC gecko from Malaysia. I just wanted to update my shot....And of course, all the nurses made the geico jokes. It was unbearable. Yeah, I love it when I get to tell people that my geckos have eyelids....LOL.

 

[GeeEssFore]

Thats why I named one of mine Geiko

People are just stupid. I work at the palace as a concession manager and I have groups that volunteer and when they ask I just explain its the little yellow one in the sand that licks his eye. No they don't talk and they don't walk on two legs!
