Tastes Like Chicken
 You're Only Human: A Guide to Life / int_1825867d
comment
Tastes Like Chicken: The Gecko comments on how people say rattlesnake meat tastes like chicken, but perhaps chicken tastes like rattlesnake meat. He doesn't know whether it's true or not, but resolves to start saying "tastes like rattlesnake" instead because it sounds tougher.

Artistic License – Biology
 You're Only Human: A Guide to Life / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: The Gecko states that he sweats often, which he questions, as he's not sure if geckos even have sweat glands since he's cold-blooded. He's justified in doing so — geckos do not have sweat glands and their skin is meant to be cool and dry. He is also a Diurnal Nocturnal Animal, being active during the day and at night, although he makes mention that he's nocturnal.

Mythology Gag
 You're Only Human: A Guide to Life / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: One segment on determination has the Gecko talking about how he always had dreams of being the spokesperson for a major company, and how he managed to achieve that dream with "single-minded belief and burning laser-like focus". However, he also states he achieved his dream by having a name that is easily confused with that of a major company, which harkens back to early GEICO Gecko ads and how the schtick was that people kept calling him thinking he was GEICO and getting confused.

Fun with Homophones
 You're Only Human: A Guide to Life / int_396d046e
comment
Fun with Homophones: At a golf course, the Gecko ends up hearing the word "fore" from a golfer. However, he misinterprets it as the golfer saying the word "for", and yells back at him, "For what?". He then gets bopped in the head by a golf ball, causing him to become dizzy and fall into a hole, where a man picks him up and promptly screams.

comment
Civilized Animal: The Gecko, as a character, tends to fall under this trope instead of being a Funny Animal like in the commercials. He has predators like hawks after him, he understands how small he is and questions his own species' biology, and it's implied that he wasn't born with the ability to talk and had to learn it.

Take a Third Option: When asked about the "catsup or ketchup" pronunciation, the Gecko says to just call it "tomato gravy". On the topic of "is the glass half-empty or half-full", the Gecko says, "Ask the fly, he's closer." Depicted on the next page is a fly in a glass of water that is half-filled who can either say "I'll be rescued from this half-full glass" or "I'm gonna die in this half-empty glass".

Continuity Nod: The segment on "Work" expands on the GEICO commercial "Mailroom", where the Gecko flashes back to when he first started working at GEICO in the mailroom and ended up getting sucked through a mail chute. According to the book, the chute took him up to the 27th floor and made him land smack-dab in the middle of the marketing department, who was about to name a new advertising spokesperson. Since their first choice, Beauregard the Badger, mauled several focus group members, they decided to go with the Gecko.

comment
Separated by a Common Language: Words that mean certain things in Australia mean different things in America ("chips" being known as "fries" in America, for example), which causes the Gecko to get confused, as he is Australian. One such incident regarded a friend who had called him and said he had gotten a flat under a highway overpass, only for the Gecko to bring him a pie as a housewarming gift, then tell him to look in his boot when he tells him he needs a jack, then for the reptile to suggest that his friend search his bonnet. According to him, this was what ended their friendship.

Shout-Out: One of the celebrities the Gecko compares his height to is Shrek. One page has the Gecko listing a bunch of titles he had considered for the book, including Fifty Shades of Green, The Girl with the Gecko Tattoo, and Chicken Soup for Dummies, among others. A segment on determination features the Gecko talking to none other than the Energizer Bunny about becoming an advertising icon like him. He responds by saying there's no way he'll be an advertising icon in the small suit he's wearing.

Literal-Minded: The Gecko tends to take words at face value, such as mistaking a golf course greens fee for having to pay a fee because he's green, or wondering why bald eagles are called just that when they don't like being told they're bald. One page has him describing an interaction with a man who asks him if he tweets — or in other words, if he has a Twitter account. He responds by saying that he's a gecko and the sound he makes is more of a chirping sound than a tweet is. The man then tells him he's confused and that he wanted to follow him, which the reptile views as creepy.

Stock Animal Diet: One page talks about a squirrel who ate acorns often and made foods with acorns (acorn sorbet, acorn marmalade, etcetera).

Height Angst: Quite a few pages of the book go into detail about how life for the mascot isn't so great since he's a small gecko and has to adapt to how big the world is.

Weight Woe

Weight Woe: When the Gecko attended university, he relished in the freedom to eat whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. This caused him to go on a pie and chips binge and gain his own "freshman 15" — which, due to his small size, was really .15 ounces that all went straight to his tail. He then learned about eating in moderation and lost the weight, causing his tail to return to its normal size and for him to invent a "tail wheel" to help his tail stay slim.

Ridiculous Procrastinator: The Gecko put off writing thirty more pages of his book, which is due to the publisher by the afternoon's end.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: The publishers approach the Gecko and ask him to write a book. What they get, however, is a Romance Novel featuring a gecko in love with another gecko named Josephine. He writes 873 pages of the book and gives it to the publishers...but he's corrected: they want a book written from the perspective of a gecko.

Shrunken Organ: Subverted. The Gecko's brain is the size of a raisin, but he's a Civilized Animal who has smarts and knowledge that far exceed what one would expect from a creature whose brain is that small.
