Whatever kind of gecko it is, I absolutely LOVE those commercials!!!

About time companies use herps to promote themselves :bounce:

My favorite one is with the girl on the bike and in the park blowing on a pussywillow at the end. First time I saw that one I almost peed my pants laughing!!!

While we're on the topic, there's another commercial with lizards on TV that I'd love to know the species. It's for a cellular phone company "Telus" and it has a bunch of goofy looking lizard running accross the screen to the music "Charriots of fire". Another hilarious commercial IMO.

My favorite ads were the Bud-wise-er ones with the frogs! I laughed every time I saw them, especially when the two remaining frogs were interviewing other reptiles and stuff for the part of -er-! Too funny.
