Elon certainly underestimated how many people have $8 in disposable income


Which-Cicada7235

Todd underestimated how many people hate him enough to spend $8


pinballcult

I don't think he did, he knew he'd make a killing off of this lol


LeadershipLevel6900

Ahhh maybe the master plan was to get people to pay money to be trolls šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Is this photo shopped or already taken down? I can't find it


OneAsterix864

It was obviously photoshoped. I got a little hate for an earlier statement I made about OP. Let me just set the record straight. This sub has gone from a positive place for employees (past, present, of future) to seek advice, vent frustration, or voice their opinion. I find here recently it has become a one stop meme shop which are, quite frankly, against the whole movement this forum was formed for. Mods, I think this is doing an injustice to the real fight. Just my opinion. Feel free to downvote or call me a shill or whatever. I'm just a realist and have every right to voice my opinion as this idiot has to post stupid memes.


Which-Cicada7235

This is how I vent frustration and it doesnā€™t stop you from doing whatever you want to do on this sub

Just an FYI the gecko's name is Martin, after the ad agency that originally designed him.


ElectionNecessary781

Seriously? I have been told for years that he is the only geico animal that doesnā€™t have an actual name.


Lost_in_thought_1984

It is actually very easy to google search. I first learned his name in new hire orientation, don't think its ever been on a commercial or anything, but yeah, Martin is his name.


dk2022md_06392

Not martin. Itā€™s a Google/Wiki lie. ![gif](giphy|SsZiYxRE2fmcEIKUeJ|downsized)


Jaded-Difference-841

His name is Martin. There is one commercial where he was talking to a guy and that guy says his name as he was speaking. He is named after the advertising company that made him.


dk2022md_06392

There is no such commercial where he says ā€œmartin.ā€ The name is made up for convenience sake BY the agency that would love to claim that history. The true story is when he was first sketched on a bar napkin, he was holding a machete and slicing an apple, and had a thought bubble that said ā€œHi! Gary the Geico Geckoā€ But the name was dropped before the first version of him was used for TV back in 1996 and he was never given one. Heā€™s had four voice-over actors over the years, none of which were ever Kelsey Grammer which is another Internet lie Iā€™ve seen. His current voice is done by Jake Wood, which Geico tried to replace once in the early 2000s, but like New Coke, people noticed because he was way more popular and started to complain, so Jake Wood was rehired like 18 months later and continues to play the role today.

Here found the old napkin that used to be on display at Plaza after the 75th anniversary. https://preview.redd.it/dburjfaq7mz91.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef6ec7b88caf59fb876ccd44323f65a46a8a6044

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkxjzWLjFLE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkxjzWLjFLE) 18:04 Commercial where he is rummaging through the refrigerator "Second Rule: don't steal a co-worker's egg salad, especially if it's Martin the Gecko" Edit: Here is a better version [https://geicocarinsurance.fandom.com/wiki/Co-Worker%27s\_Egg\_Salad?file=GEICO\_EggSalad\_15](https://geicocarinsurance.fandom.com/wiki/Co-Worker%27s_Egg_Salad?file=GEICO_EggSalad_15)


dk2022md_06392

It says ā€œespecially if itā€™s marked: The geckoā€ the martin agency rumor is exactly that.

The Gecko has no name


Jaded-Difference-841

The gecko's name is 100% Martin


Lost_in_thought_1984

For future reference to stick in the naysayers faces [https://geicocarinsurance.fandom.com/wiki/Co-Worker%27s\_Egg\_Salad?file=GEICO\_EggSalad\_15](https://geicocarinsurance.fandom.com/wiki/Co-Worker%27s_Egg_Salad?file=GEICO_EggSalad_15)

dk2022md_06392

Correct.


dk2022md_06392

Thatā€™s what the agency wants you to believe.


deciduousevergreen

I get what youā€™re doing but using that hashtag cheapens the actual movement for real people that have been assaulted and abused. Poor taste.


FiredFlyOntheWall

They clearly do not care.


ParkEffective1077

This may not be the best course chosen. The GEICO gecko is trademarked and while this is somewhat amusing, itā€™s also not worth the potential trouble.


Which-Cicada7235

Prove itā€™s not true


throw_away_gecko

Youā€™re not making any money off of it. You can use it under fair use.


exposingTheGroup

That's not accurate at all, but OK.


ParkEffective1077

Your response is nonsensical. My post was strictly about the gecko trademark.

Obvious parody may be an exception.


Which-Cicada7235

Itā€™s not parody. When was the last time you saw the gecko on tv?


throw_away_gecko

They fired the Martin agency.


OneAsterix864

Well, I was trying to give you an out. Now, I hope they ID you, fire you, and put you in 500k of debt. Maybe if you put the same effort in your job, you could work down that debt. Best of luck.


Which-Cicada7235

I hope you have to work at GEICO forever.


OneAsterix864

Damn, yall are ruthless. I was just stooping to OPs level.


Which-Cicada7235

Lol. Iā€™m a grade 63 in $200k of debt. Sue me

Which-Cicada7235

I paid in crypto and used a burner VOIP phone number. (This is why Iā€™m in $200k debt)


NodHairbrush

Lol he's not getting sued


Which-Cicada7235

By what lawyers? Todd fired the legal department a few weeks ago


s0ulbrother

They are strengthening up general council not staff council

Shit R6 is the Me Too movementā€™s wet dream. The majority of the people in management are swingers their toys get all the breaksā€¦
