AFLAC Duck Meets GEICO Gecko

By far the best ads on TV are the AFLAC duck commercials. Most ads repeat over and over and over and over again and usually they repeat some form of the message "buy our product". Not so the AFLAC commercials. They show people talking in ordinary life, including insurance needs, and they can't remember a certain name. The AFLAC duck's quack (AFLAC!!) tries to remind them, but they don't hear him. The duck does some humorous things, such as kick tidbits at a park bench back to the feeding person. The GEICO gecko is also good, but not quite. But what I would like to see is for these two mascots to come together in one commercial, such as:

AFLAC Duck meets GEICO Gecko

Scene - in the park

Three children walking.

Art: Oh, Look. A Lizard.

Gecko: GEICO!

Charlie: Ooh! He looks real! (picks the gecko up)

Betty: Euucht!

Art: Betty, isn't he cute?

[The AFLAC duck walks in the background.]

Betty: But what if he bites?

Charlie: Your daddy's supplemental insurance covers it.

Betty: My daddy's what?

[GEICO gecko scrambles around in Art's hands, looking scared.]

Gecko: GEICO!

AFLAC Duck: AFLAC!!

Art: What did the lizard say?

Betty: I think he said gecko.

AFLAC Duck: AFLAC!!! wufufufufufu….

[AFLAC duck runs up to the children and flaps his wings. The GEICO gecko jumps out of Betty's arms]

Betty: Eeeek!

[AFLAC duck fluffs up his wings and starts going after the GEICO gecko. The gecko starts running as fast has he can and looks like Scare City. The AFLAC duck chases the GEICO gecko into the pond, and both disappear.]

Charlie: I didn't know that ducks liked lizards.

Announcers voice: Don't go chasing after geckos. Ask for it by name.

[Scene shows a street vendor with a customer, taking a picture of him holding the GEICO gecko. The AFLAC duck is nearby.]

AFLAC Duck: AFLAC!

[All three of them, the vendor, the customer, and the GEICO gecko, get puzzled looks on their faces.]
