Insurance company Geico introduces Will Arnett as a new adversary for their famous Gecko mascot in advertising campaigns
Geico's Gecko Meets His Match in Will Arnett
For years, Geico's Gecko has ruled the roost as the charming spokes-reptile for insurance savings. But now, The Martin Agency has shaken things up, pairing him with none other than Will Arnett in a hilarious new ad campaign.
In the rib-tickling "Frenemy" ad, Arnett steps into the ring, going toe-to-green-toe with the Gecko. At a swanky dinner party, the Gecko rubs elbows with an old friend—Arnett. As it turns out, they used to dream of saving folks money on homeowners insurance back in the day. The reason for their falling out remains a mystery, but Arnett's sardonic humor leaves no doubt that they are now sworn enemies, albeit polite ones.
Getting to Know Will Arnett
While Arnett's collaboration with the Gecko might be news to us, Arnett is no stranger to the spotlight.
