Corporate mascots. That's what we're here to talk about. Famous, hardworking corporate mascots who are there to make commercials bearable and that sometimes even cause me to NOT skip commercials on my DVR. Imagine that.

I am a big fan of everyone from the Geico Gecko to the AFLAC duck. From the Capital One pillagers ("To the neighbors!") to the Dell Dude. Yes, I know it's lame, but you gotta love them.

Admit it! You love 'em too. That's why you're here.

BUT only the best of the best will be inducted into the Corporate Mascot Hall of Fame...

Anyway, this lense is brand new and is just starting to grow and evolve. Check back in a few days for more and more content. I promise, it will be fun...

The Corporate Mascot Hall of Fame 

Here are the first inductees into the corporate mascot hall of fame.

New mascots will be inducted when they receive a sufficient number of votes on the polls which I will run on this lense on a regular basis.

Participate. Vote for your favorite mascot and see it achieve eternal glory!


  • Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Pets.com Sock Puppet - true, he had a short career,
    but that was not his fault. Alas, a stuffed mascot
    cannot choose his master.

    At his peak, this unstoppable mascot was interviewed on Good Morning America and even had a balloon
    made in his honor at the 1999 Macy's Thanks Giving
    Day Parade. Talk about fame.


    Better yet, after Pet.com went the way of the Dodo, the dynamic sock puppet found a second career as the mascot of Bar None.

    For all this and much more, the Pets.com is a deserving member of the Corporate Mascot Hall of Fame.

    If you cannot get enough of this hall of famer mascot, take a look at this page.

  • Photobucket - Video and Image HostingThe Geico Gecko - this deserving member of the Corporate Mascot Hall of Fame was introduced to
    the public in 1999 and quickly amassed a devoted following.

    He speaks with a proper British accent, and over
    the years has evolved from pleading with the
    public to stop confusing him with Geico and into a
    devoted spokes creature.

    Did you know that one of the people that does Gecko's voice is actor Kelsey Grammer (Frasier)?

Pets.com - The Ultimate Sock Puppet 

One of my favorite corporate mascots of all time. It was almost sad to see Pets.com under. Instead of pet supplies, they should have sold sock puppets. I would have bought some... "I love stuffed things..."

You Can Always Trust a Gecko 

I love the Geico Gecko commercials. Especially the one where the Gecko licks his eye (found it on Google Video - it's not on You Tube).

The Taco Bell Dog 

Taco Bell had a great thing going. Great mascot, so-so food. The great mascot is now gone... so all we're left with is...

The little doggie had everything. Fame, fortune, all the ladies he could handle... now, he's got nothing. I think I saw him pushing a shoppnig cart and drinking out of a paper bag a few weeks ago. Evil corporate masters.

Anyways, this is one of my favorite Taco Bell commercials of all time. I think I need a bigger box... doggie is hunting for Godzilla...

Another favorite is "Sir, Drop the Chalupa, put it down and back away".

This is a great lens. I remeber some of the commercials and the mascots from them always stuck out in my head a little bit. But that is the mark of a great mascot. Even if all you see is a shadow, you know who it is and what they stand for. Brilliant!
