After a group enjoys a meal at a restaurant, one guy says he’s picking up the check–except he’s an alligator with short reptilian arms that can’t quite reach the check, leaving it to another at the table to pay the bill.

Stiffing someone else is what the guy with alligator arms does–just like what GEICO does is save people money on insurance.

Wayne McClammy of Hungry Man directed this spot, titled “Check,” for The Martin Agency.
