The GEICO Gecko Model Commercial – Gecko Goes Commando and More

I never thought I’d see full nudity on broadcast TV but we are where we are, I guess. OK OK, I’m half kidding! But, technically speaking, the GEICO Gecko doesn’t have clothes on in this new commercial. Check it out then scroll down for more…

The commercial has me going down a rabbit hole. First, I tried finding out what this type of art is called. It’s either “figure drawing” or “the nude” according to the internet. But then I started to wonder… would I ever pose nude? Gosh, can you imaging the vulnerability of putting yourself out there like that? Everyone in the room seeing all of you– the good, the bad, the ugly. Let’s just say they wouldn’t be struggling with my proportions if you know what I mean! OK, I have no idea what I mean either. It just felt like the perfect time for a comment where I’m overcompensating for something.

I like the ad, even if I can’t recall after watching it many times what they’re advertising. *Watches again* Oh OK. The artist finishes her portrait fast, and she says the GEICO claims process is fast, too. Clever. Great acting too, with the spray paint embellishments and the paint splatter process.

Any of you out there tried a nude model art class? Tell about it in the comments below and if you need to, keep it anonymous ;).
