In this silly ad from Geico, our stalwart pig hero Maxwell
gets pulled over by the “pigs” (oh, the irony!), and the policeman asks for his
info, and he shows his insurance ID card on his smartphone. (It’s funny,
because I thought they usually asked for license and registration, but I guess
that doesn’t work so well for an insurance ad, so we get this fantasy scenario
where the cops ask for the insurance ID card first. Oh, and where there’s a pig
driving a car too, I guess. I mean, a literal one.) But what if his
smartphone’s battery died just then? Why, then he couldn’t show his proof of
insurance, and he’d get arrested and sent to jail, where other hardened
criminals would ask him to “squeal like a pig” (!!). So just in case, maybe he
ought to carry around the paper insurance ID card.
Here’s the piggy that goes: “My Geico insurance ID card is
digital”:
BTW: It is a little known fact that it’s this harassment by
the police that causes Maxwell to go insane and start killing people with
silver hammers, like in the Beatles’ song about him.
For those of you who don’t know what I’m referring to here,
it’s this:
