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.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles.
