Gio Compario

**Gio Compario** is a fictional Welsh tenor who has been the mascot of Go.Compare (formerly GoCompare & gocompare.com) since 2009.

He is played by Welsh singer Wynne Evans.

In most adverts he has been in, Gio sings a song about the website to the tune of *Over There*.

His first appearance was in late 2009. The adverts would usually start with two or three people discussing their problems with insurance. Gio would then appear (usually out of nowhere) and begin to sing. Something, presumably Gio's powers, would make the surrounding bystanders sing along as he hits the high note, holding the 'a' in the company name ("Go Compaaaaaare!") Gio can seemingly time-warp, as he has been sighted in places like an ancient Egyptian tomb, a Georgian street dressed up in the attire of the time and the surface of an alien world.

In 2010 as part of Channel 4's Comedy Gala, Gio appeared in a special one-off advert where at the end, comedian Jimmy Carr appears and grabs Gio by the testicles, making him sing in a higher note.

Gio appeared in two follow up adverts also made for Channel 4's Comedy Gala; the 2011 Gala in which he was left suspended in mid-air on a harness by Jimmy and Alan Carr and the second for the 2012 Gala showed Gio being given a one-way ticket to a performance at the Sydney Opera House by the two comedians. These two adverts involve Gio talking for the first time rather than only singing.

In 2012, new adverts were launched featuring Gio being targeted or tortured by various celebrities (e.g., Sue Barker, Ray Mears, Stephen Hawking and Louie Spence) who wanted to "save the nation" from his annoying singing.

In the 2013 adverts, Gio is shown pitching ideas to Go Compare on alternative ways to tell people how much money they can save on car insurance rather than him singing. That same year, Gio appeared in another one-off advert for Channel 4's Comedy Gala which showed him pitching an idea involving a dog, only to be led out of the meeting room on a leash by Alan Carr.

In the 2014 adverts, Gio made cameos as a bus driver whilst the focus was on the residents of a fictional Welsh town called Landofsavingmoneyandgettingtherightdealgogogocompare, which is Gio's hometown in the advert's lore. But in July 2015, Gio returned as the main focus of the adverts.

In 2017, A new character named, Monster Bill, appears in 3 adverts. He was in a red car, the bathroom & the kitchen. In the red car advert, He was deflating like a balloon.

In the 2019 adverts, Gio re-enacted various real-life accidents by people. These adverts also included Evans portraying himself and narrating the events.

Since 2020, adverts feature Evans portraying both himself and Gio, who remains silent except for singing "Go Compare".

Chewie the Chewitsaurus

**Years active:** | 1976-

**Chewie the Chewitsaurus** is the mascot of British confectionery Chewits.

He first appeared in a commercial parodying 50s b-movies, as a Godzilla-like creature attacking New York. The hero, Chuck, drives a Chewits truck towards the monster, who picks up the sweets and decides to eat them, preferring them to the various buildings he has been eating, chewier than a 15-storey block of flats as the voiceover puts it. In the 'sequel', the Muncher travels the world, eating various landmarks including the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Empire State Building, but is disgusted by the tastes. Eventually, he settled for giant packs of chewits, which as the voiceover explains, are chewier than Barrow-in-Furness bus depot!

In "The Muncher Menace", the creature (with a new design) attacks a World War II London setting as a radio voiceover advises people to not confront him and carry giant sized packs of Chewits to quell the monster. "Chewits: Chew for Victory" is the ending slogan. The advert was made by Aardman.

These early commercials involved Claymation special effects, akin to Ray Harryhausen films and were a homage to Hollywood monster movie pastiche such as King Kong or Godzilla crossed with stiff upper lip British wartime propaganda (later on).

1995 saw an animated advert in the style of OTT post-war with 1950s orchestration. A salesy narrator gives a guide to viewers to prepare them for the sweets by having the Muncher Menace eat a Wellington boot, a rubber boat and a rubber plant (tyres) in order to be ready for Chewits - the Chewiest of chews.

1996 involved ads with news casting dinosaur puppets. The catchphrase advice at the close of each 'broadcast' was to "do it before you chew it".

Come 1998, the adverts became colourful 2d cartoons with the 'Muncher Menace' being reintroduced as 'Chewie'. These new adverts features a rendition of the 1994 hit song *I Like to Move It* by Reel 2 Real but with the lyrics changed to 'I like to Chewit Chewit'. In the first, he roller skates on two buses through a busy city then in the second, introduced 2001, he is water-skiing at a seaside resort.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Episode
Hippo and Duck

**Hippo** and **Duck** are the mascots of British bed manufacturer Silentnight. They first appeared in 1986.

Hippo is depicted as a male hippopotamus wearing blue and white striped pyjamas whilst Duck is depicted as female and has yellow duckling feathers, despite being an adult. They both speak in Lancashire accents, but sometimes they were mute.

Before Hippo and Duck mascots were created for the Silentnight brand, there was none although there was already a mascot back in 1982 that features 2 sheep puppets that were named ''Basil'' and his friend ''Barry,'' but these mascots didn't last long.

During their first appearances in 1986 and 1989, Hippo and Duck originally appeared in a realistic, live-action form to promote the ''Ultimate Sleep System,'' although their animated counterparts only appeared in merchandise and the logo itself.

Throughout the years Hippo and Duck became completely animated in one of the adverts that first aired in 2001, Hippo and Duck are seen preparing to go to bed and describe what the beds Silentnight have and what is in the mattresses. An advert in 2003 for "My First Bed", featured Hippo having two sons named Hugo and Henry, whilst Duck has a daughter named Dee-Dee. At the end of the adverts, Hippo will say "Sleep tight", and Duck says "Have a silent night".

In these adverts, Hippo was voiced by Clive Rowe and Duck was voiced by Jane Horrocks.

Hippo and Duck originally appeared in a realistic live-action design, but later appeared in 2D animated characters, sometimes appearing in CGI. The animaton was traditional, but was switched to computer-drawn in 2010, the computer-drawn mascots also appeared in a promotional video of selected Miracoils and PocketZing.

They have also appeared in Silentnight's sponsorship adverts for ITV drama series *Where the Heart Is* and most UK broadcasts of *American Idol* that was aired on ITV2.

Buttermen

The Buttermen were the mascots of Country Life butter from 1977-1989. There were four of them, who all looked identical and were presumably made of butter. They all had West Country accents and would sing songs about how there's no better butter to put on your knife than Country Life. They also had a fondness for women and beer. The house they lived in was quite literally, a block of Country Life butter. In some adverts, they appear to work for Country Life. They were animated by Tony Cattaneo.

Country Life Buttermen Song Lyrics

*Ooooooh, we are the lads from Country Life

And you'll never can't put a better bit o’ butter on yer knife

If you haven’t any in ‘ave a word with yer wife

And spread it on yer toast in the mornin’*

*It’s Country Life, it’s English too,

From the cow to the dairy, from the dairy down to you,

‘Cos it’s pure, smooth, tasty and fresh and creamy through and through,

So spread it on yer toast in the mornin’ Hahahahahahahahahahahahodoh!*

Country Life Buttermen Housewises Song Lyrics

Oh Every Morning his lady wife,

Just eggs toast and Country Life,

You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife,

It's creamy smooth and tasty too!

It's English and it's good all through for you!

*Spread it all the breakfast time*

*he's not the butter like this mime*

*She never she like this wife as mine,*

*And it gets it all the time! hahahahahahahaha*
Douglas

**Douglas** served as the mascot in UK adverts for Danish butter brand Lurpak from 1985 to 2003 and again from 2014-2015.

He was a small man made from butter.

In earlier adverts, Douglas would emerge from a block of Lurpak and would sing about it before either going back into the block or into food.

In 1992, to mark that year's Olympic Games, an advert featured Douglas diving into a bowl of soup.

In later adverts, Douglas is depicted as a trombonist who in the adverts, played "Flight of the Bumblebee" on his trombone and would sometimes be stopped by the advert's narrator (played by Penelope Keith). Douglas is shown to be nice and jolly to Penelope anyway.

In 1994, a Christmas advert was made in which Douglas was allowed by Keith to play his trombone, to which he plays "Deck The Halls".

Douglas made his final appearance in Lurpak adverts in 2003.

His favourite colour is red while Penelope Keith's favourite is blue.

He returned in October 2014 and axed in November 2015.

## Trivia

* Douglas was created by Aardman Animations, who are best known for also creating Wallace and Gromit. They also created The T-Birds for adverts for PG Tips and the Serta Counting Sheep for American mattress brand Serta.
* During production of the first few Lurpak adverts that features Douglas, he was known originally as "Larry Lurpack," but never mentioned the name in any adverts.
* According to Peter Lord, Douglas is a descendent to Morph, another character also created by Aardman.

The latest appearance of the eggs was in 2012, for a spoof of the Olympic Games.

Betty, Earl and Joyce

**Betty, Earl and Joyce** were the mascots in adverts for British payday loan company Wonga.com from 2011 to 2014.

They were three elderly people who worked at the company. Whilst Betty and Joyce spoke, Earl was mute, but would be seen dancing to drum and bass music.

They were at first portrayed as puppets, but in later adverts, they were CGI.

They were often shown on breaks on children's shows. Joyce was more soft, and told you about Wonga's loans. Betty was slightly cold and gruff, and rebuffed Earl's affection towards her. Earl was mute, and tried online dating, but he later realised that Betty was the one for him.

## Trivia

Where The Heart Is Intro

Start Of Episode
Hugglers

The  **Hugglers** are a family of yeti-like creatures that appeared in UK adverts for dairy company Anchor from 2015 to 2017.

There were four Huggler adverts, each one featuring a different branch of the family.

The first advert which promoted Anchor Cheddar was released in June 2015 and featured a husband and wife Huggler trying to have a peaceful picnic only to be interrupted by their young son with his ball.

A second advert launched in October 2015 to promote Anchor Spreadable. Set on Christmas Day, a young male Huggler is given a squeaky toy elephant by his grandmother (referred to as Grandma). He then constantly squeaks it all day, much to his mother's dismay. When it comes to nighttime, the mother relaxes and tucks into her buttered crumpet, only for her son to appear again and squeak the elephant.

A third advert was launched in July 2016 and like the previous advert, was advertising Anchor Spreadable. The advert features a adult male Huggler at a indoor childrens play centre called Squishy World with his two young daughters and talking on the phone to his wife. When hearing an announcement that the play centre is closing, the father tries to get his eldest daughter Isabella (Bella for short) to get out of the ball pool with sandwiches, but fails. Putting down his infant daughter, phone and his bags, the Huggler resorts to going into the ball pool, but ends up stuck and happily sees Bella leave the ball pool and eating the sandwiches. But joy turns to panic when he sees the infant daughter chewing on his phone and accidentally drops it, before the lights in the play centre go out.

A fourth and final advert was launched in July 2017 for Anchor Spreadable. It, like the Christmas advert, featured Grandma. She is seen looking in her fridge for butter. She comes across a tub of Anchor Spreadable and reads it out aloud, causing a smart speaker in her kitchen to tell her what is in the butter. Believing that it was the tub that spoke, she thanks it. Grandma's grandson and granddaughter watch the incident and believe that she is losing the plot and think that it's time they searched for a nursing home. However, the smart speaker hears what's said and reveals the nearest nursing home. The advert ends with an annoyed Grandma telling her grandchildren that she will outlive both of them.

## Trivia

The Hugglers are created by ad agency Creature.

Coca-Cola polar bears

The **Coca-Cola polar bears** have sporadically appeared in many adverts for Coca-Cola since 1993, usually around Christmas. Coca-Cola first featured a polar bear in a French print advert in 1922, shown squirting cola from a bottle into the mouth of a thirsty sun. Since then, polar bears have occasionally appeared in advertisements for Coca-Cola, but were only used as mascots after 1993. The first polar bear TV adverts were designed by Rhythm & Hues.

The polar bears have crossed over into three other Coca-Cola advertising campaigns - the then-current "Always Coca-Cola" campaign, the annual Santa Claus campaign and the "Open Happiness" campaign.

## Use in advertising

Creator Ken Stewart got the idea for the polar bears from his Labrador Retriever, which reminded him of a polar bear as a puppy. Stewart got Los Angeles-based visual studio Rhythm & Hues to animate the first advert using computer animation. The ad was storyboarded by illustrator Eugene Yelchin.

The first advert featuring the polar bears was "Northern Lights" in 1993. The ad shows several polar bears sitting down to watch the aurora borealis. Another bear walks in and joins the rest. The lights then appear in the sky and the bears open bottles of Coca-Cola to drink. The ad ends with a face shot of a bear holding a bottle. This advert was animated by Rhythm & Hues, who animated most of the adverts.

The bears were brought back for a new campaign running as part of the "Open Happiness" campaign in 2013 to mark their 20th anniversary. Two new adverts, "Snowbear" and "Puffin", were produced by Animal Logic. In "Snowbear", a bear family build a bear from snow, which they feel is incomplete until a cub suggests to add a bottle cap nose and a Coca-Cola bottle. In "Puffin", a puffin struggles to open a bottle of Coca-Cola. The bears help out by opening the bottle and giving it a straw to drink the cola. Film director Ridley Scott produced a computer-animated seven-minute short film with Animal Logic featuring the polar bears for Coca-Cola. The film shows a family of polar bears on their journey across the Arctic tundra.

The polar bear was adapted into a costume character for public appearances by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

First Coca-Cola ad featuring a polar bear, 1922.
