What is the Pig saying in Geico Commercial?

Okay, I've watched enough of the pig on the zip line in the Geico commercial...and still can't understand what it is saying. Pig latin?

This Little Piggy poem

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...

Nosila, thanks...other than "weeeeeeweeweeeee", just could not understand the phrase. Obviously the ad agency who created the commercial felt the pig spoke clearly! Guess my ear is more atuned to the lizard.

Pure adrenalin was what I thought.

I got a kick out of the first commercial when the pig was saying "weeeee" all the way home. This new one makes zero sense. Is he taking the zip line home? I highly doubt it. A better commercial would be the pig at work, talking normally. Then the clock strikes 5pm, and they show him exiting the building screaming ."

I know, I am REALLY over thinking this :)

If you play the pig commercial backwards you hear "flo is dead, flo is dead."

Pig rules. And he's not saying weeeeee, he is saying "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the tuna?"

It took me a few viewings to understand what the pig was saying as well. Funny as Nosila said, it seems clear as a bell now. Love the pinwheels.


There is a third word after pure adrenalin................................is everyone missing that?
Got any idea what it is?


He looks at the guy across from him and says "Pure.. Adrenalin" Weeeeee.. wee weee lol

Here is the clip. I am not sure what that third word is. It doesn't sound like a word to me.


It's not a word. He snorts. Pure...adrenalin....snort.

pommy
Jan '12

It sounds like "OK" to me.


It's funny all of you go to all the trouble of rewinding,.etc....next time just turn on the CC in your TV, that's what I do especially when I watch old british shows that are so difficult to understand sometimes..... :)


I hear that commercial every night during Jeopardy. I listened closely and it's "Pure Adrenalin", then a snort, and then back to "weeee".

I agree it's not all that good in what it's selling. After the pig is done, the announcer talks about how Geico is now "mobile" with their new phone app. I guess the zip line is supposed to say "you're mobile".


ET - spent years with Brits, understand exactly what they're saying without the captioning, including even what their words mean. But still don't think we'll "understand". ;-)


Just to finish off EXACTLY what the pig is saying, it's "Pure Adrenalin," then "*snort*" and then kind of under his breath, "OK." I'm surprised this ad was approved with that being so hard to understand. (I found the answer here after googling it because it was frustrating not to know. But I have to agree that once you know what he's saying, it's easy to understand).

All I know is when that commercial comes on I immediately mute it, he has got to go................HOME! So annoying, to me and hubs especially at 4:30 in the morning! UGH!

Hmmm...I didn't realize it was hard to understand. Maybe it was written for people like me, ya know the ones that spend their days with three and six year olds! LOL.

The part the confuses me is the app, is it about insurance or is it just the piggy going weeeeeee! Our dentist has a spongebob app and all spongebob does is bubble and giggle, I could probably tolerate the pig better than spongebob!


Funny..my mother asked the same thing on Sunday!

Vanessa Vanessa
Jan '12

After reading these, I finally got it. Those of you who said the 3rd word is a *snort* are correct but following the snort there is a subtle laugh, kinda like "heh, heh". So it goes like this, "Pure adrenaline.....*snort*, heh heh!"

Ahhh but we are all talking about it and know it is an ad for Geico so I guess that means a huge success. Now matter how annoying a commercial the aim is to have the viewer remember it, comment on it, laugh, hate, or anything but be indifferent.

I thought it was adrenalin at first and tend to agree...But, the word "beer" came to mind also. "Beer and adrenalin" would be the only way you'd get me on a zip line on a ski slope. I checked out the one on Heavenly Mountain(Lake Tahoe) in September and decided you'd have to be drunk and stupid to trust that thing!

Third word sounds like PERFECT. I first felt the first word was scared? And I have good hearing--it's on every 15 min. or so--but I still won't go GEICO--

It's barely understandable and thus it is apparently a commercial success for Geico.

I want to know what they say at the end of the Play Station commercial. It sounds like they are saying "rexextensial" but that makes no sense.


I don't know what the pig is saying but I love it. Having just gone zip lining at the age of 72, I can feel for that man who appears to feel about like I did. Not like the pig who is having a great time.

Gerjon Gerjon

Gee.. I struggled with this one for a long time too, re-playing the pig's comments to his zip-line buddy many times. At first I thought it said "You're Amica then" but since that's a competing company, it didn't seem likely. I then went online, and found the audio in the YouTube video is much better than the one being broadcast over the networks. I think Geico needs to get the gecko to teach the pig how to talk clearly... it reflects poorly on a company when even their commercials can't be understood.

I agree with the last post. I think they edited the ad making the audio much much clearer,


I just saw a new version of this commercial where they retaped the pig saying "pure adrenaline." It's from a different angle, so it's definitely a new shot. They must be reading these message boards!

I finally looked this up on on Google and came to this page after viewing this commercial over a hundred times. I was able to barely make out what seemed like "Adrenaline" but could not for the life of me figure out the word he said before it. I'm glad to find out that I wasn't the only one! LOL

Geico finally revised the commercial. In the first batch of commercials (from December), the pig says "pure, adrenaline" but the pig says the word "adrenaline" too fast and too nasal for anyone to understand it. In the second batch of commercials (from after January 22d), they told the pig to say the word "adrenaline" SLOWER so the audience could understand it. It's the pig's fault for not speaking more clearly the first time.

Say what....

Why all this interest in the piggy? Are we dumping the gecko?

I'm pretty sure that they cleaned up the way he says Pure Adrenaline. I can understand it every time now. I did get a new TV though but I think they realized their error and fixed it. Unlike that new fake commercial with the pug after the Doritos.

I thought he said "Dude, it's a turn on". I think someone else thought that too. I can definately hear a difference in the commercials leading me to believe they did revise them.

I do love his sweet little feet waving in the air. I stop what I'm doing everytime it comes on and watch.

The pig looks like he is having a good time. I would like to hear a happier noise. His "wheeeeeeeee" to me is a very sad noise. I love all animals and I want to see them all happy. Maybe a silly Cockney expression would be good. I like the pig better in the car commercial, but I want to see a happier expression from the driver. I am very strong on all animals because I feel when all the love in the world has failed, through our animals this all the love we have left.

As the Advertiser intended, I listened to the damn fool thing about 15 times trying to figure out what the porker was saying. After I decided, it turns out I was mistaken. By the time a friend got me properly advised, I'd forgotten what they were selling, and furthermore didn't give a rat's rear end. GEICO WHO?

They have changed it slightly, and now you can hear him say "Pure, adrenalin". Before, it was hard to understand (not for me as I am blind and rely on my hearing to identify the actor and speeches). They have altered it twice... now you can really hear what he says.

The movie stripes was 32 yrs ago , they don't look that old.


They might look like a Mentos commercial, but not Stripes.

As for what she says, I think it's:

"I bet he just Googles and posts without looking. Next thing you know he'll want a free home makeover and see a ring around the moon..."

;-)


The female MPs in Stripes were Sean Young of Blade Runner and Ace Ventura fame and the other one's name escapes me, but she was in the original Halloween and Carrie in addition to Stripes.

Thank goodness someone asked about the second stewardess (waitperson??) I get confused ... on the flying pig commercial. I have listened to the ending so many times I am sick of seeing it. I did love the first little piggy commercial with the little guy sticking his head out the window and going : "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...!" He is a little cutie. I use the "This little piggy" thing when I am putting my parrot to bed at night.. I use her toes just like my Dad did to me eons ago... except the one little piggy is eating a Hostess Cupcake in the newer version.

When I first saw this commercial I thought GEICO was poking fun at Alec Baldwin
