Maxwell The Geico Pig


Have you seen the commercial of the Geico pig riding down a zipline?  He is sliding  down the zipline saying, "Weeeee, weeeee, weeeeeeee" and his feet are moving back and forth in enjoyment.  When he sees a human he says, "Pure.  Adrenalin" and keeps sliding.

This is my very favorite commercial!!  I will stop whatever I am doing to watch it.  Took me awhile to figure out it was for Geico.  lol

So, being the silly person I am, I just had to paint Maxwell in my sketchbook.  This is a pre-painted page also that kind of didn't work this time.


Maxwell cracks me up!!!!


Click here to see the commercial.


Happy Animal Wednesday!

I LOVE that commercial too. I also have to stop and watch it. Geico has the most interesting commercials..sometimes strange but this one is cute. Well done even if it was on a prepainted background.. I think it works.

Oh my - you did him perfectly! I love that commercial also - but it too me a few times to figure out what he was saying. The Gecko is still my favorite creature.

HAW to you - too much going on in my life right now to even remember what day it is!

Oh yes, I find this entertaining too. My daughter is going on vacation soon to a place that has a zipline. She wants some pinwheels so she can have them and yell wheeeeeeee on the ride. Funny. Love your sketch. HAW.

Teri,
This is definitely very cute, and I sure think that you did an awesome job.
I don't actually know what Geiko is- is it possibly an energy drink, like Gatorade?
(I'm just thinking because of the energy/adrenaline.It must be something we don't have in Canada.

Thanks for enjoying my silliness.

No Brenda, Geico is an insurance company. Look at the YouTube I linked and it will make more sense.

Love your new banner Teri.

I like your painting, he's cute. I'm not sure the link will work here, but I'll try in a mo.

Oh, now I see.
How did I miss the link! :)
Well, now I am also a fan of this funny little guy.
I watched several of the commercials on the link - I think the one driving him home is awful cute too!
Your representation of him is so good, as well.
Thanks for the link and this fun post, it brightened up my morning.

I too love this commercial! I like saying WEEEEEEEE all the way home! My husband of course always has to point out that there are no brakes on a zipline so how does the little pig slow down to mock the human? I just enjoy it and don't care!
