Geico’s Tasmanian Devil “Energy Drink”Commercial…
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Tazmanian Devil character in the Warner Bros. cartoon family. Like a whirlwind on speed, he rips through the environment as a blur of motion, an animated tornado. Only the formidable Bugs Bunny can outwit and subsequently control this hyperkinetic force of nature. Giving such a creature an energy drink would be like putting out a fire with gasoline, but we can only imagine the devastation that such an act would create.
Thanks to another Geico commercial, we no longer have to imagine such mayhem. A couple are shown reposing in bed, with one musing about how Geico insurance can save a customer 15% on their insurance. As the partner is aware of this, the follow-up stumper question posed is whether the partner knows that some cartoon characters should never be given an energy drink…
…cut to a production studio, where against a white screen the Tazmanian Devil is chugging an energy drink! – – Uh oh, his eyes drift out of proportion to one another, and soon Taz’s body dissolves into the whirling blur of motion we know so well, crashing through the walls of an adjoining production studio where fine china collector’s plates of the fifty state birds are being touted! Predictably, Taz decimates the plates and their display stands, leaving the studio a shambled ruins.
I do so love seeing a master of mayhem like Taz at work, and fine china and crystal make such delightful sounds when decimated, don’t they? Long may the Tazmanian Devil rage, and reign!

I always loved the cartoons where Daffy Duck would eat a bowl of chili con carne (or some other spicy Mexican dish). Whereupon, he instantly began breathing fire like a dragon, while the pupils of his eyes became erupting volcanoesl 😆

Daffy always was a bit…flamboyant, with theatrics suiting him well!

Daffy was always cool, and I was glad when he became kind of a breakout character in the “Duck Dodgers” series a few years back.
