Geico brought back the pig commercial for March Madness and fans are furious
After 15 years, Maxwell the Pig is back.
The plucky pig first debuted in the Geico ad back in 2010, when they heavily featured the 15 percent savings mantra and played on common phrases in a funny way.
"Could switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance?" says the nameless man with impeccable Unsolved Mysteries vibes. "Did the little piggie cry 'wee, wee, wee' all the way home?" It cuts to a pig with a pinwheel and his head out the window as he screamed "WEEEEEEEE" until his friend's mom informed him he was home.
Now for this year's March Madness in 2025, he's back. It's unclear what made the insurance agency dust Maxwell off the shelf, but it's a fun flashback.
Fans are complaining:
The Geico pig commercial is already driving me insane and it's only day one of the tourney

Coco Gauff's French Open trophy isn't what she expected
French Open winner Coco Gauff recently revealed some surprising information about the tournament's trophy. Over the weekend, Gauff won her second career Grand Slam title after defeating world No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. The 21-year-old phenom battled back after dropping the first set 7-6 to the Belarusian. She went on to win the next two sets, 6-2 and 6-4, respectively, in an impressive display of mental fortitude for such a young player. A win like that deserves some serious fanfare, and that's what Gauff got as she proudly showed off her trophy to the crowd post-match. Advertisement However, the Atlanta native recently revealed that the trophy used during the celebration ceremony (and for pictures and press) isn't the one she keeps. "Actually, we don't get to take this home. This stays with the tournament," Gauff said in a new TikTok video before revealing a miniature version. "It's really small," she says, chuckling, moments before putting it next to a Perrier bottle as a size reference. "It is very pretty and a miniature version of the real trophy. So, this is the one that I get to take home," Gauff continued as she reflected on her win while holding up her version of the trophy. Just in case anyone doubted her story, she also did a side-by-side photo comparison holding up her French Open hardware versus the one seen on the court. Advertisement It seems the trophy wasn't what she expected, but she's taking it in stride. We would argue it isn't all bad. It's travel size, and now, she can bring it out upon request or just to casually flex. That's a win-win.

Why Lil Wayne's atrocious "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" is Lin-Manuel Miranda's fault
Let's get this out of the way first: Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers of his generation, responsible for some of the seminal songs and albums in the genre, period. His golden status in rap history is secure, and nothing he does for the rest of his career takes away from that. Every great artist produces a stinker from time to time. Friday's release of Tha Carter VI featured that kind of egregious misstep that typically follows rappers who have entered the back nine of their creative output. This misstep is called "Peanuts 2 N Elephant." While recent Tha Carter installments have had their ups and downs, Lil Wayne teamed up with Lin-Manuel Miranda of all people for this circus-infused disaster track that features horn-blowing elephants and what sounded like discarded soundtrack music for one of the old Frogger games. Lil Wayne's cringey bars on this song already clang about without any wit or passion, and there is already nothing you can do to salvage those lyrics with that Greatest Showman Super Nintendo game beat playing in the background. We heavily blame Miranda for this, as his contributions to the genre in this decade also include that ghastly "Scuttlebutt" rap between the bird and the crab in the 2023 Little Mermaid live-action remake. Miranda's Hamilton and In the Heights remain great, of course, but what the heck is this garbage? Is this a parody? Only two great artists could put their heads together and create something this bad unintentionally. Some NSFW language and deliriously painful production value below. The song is basically this visual meme in real practice. Peanuts 2 N Elephant — Josh Tadlock (@JMethodz92) June 6, 2025 Look, we fully expect both Lil Wayne and Miranda to rebound from what basically amounts to a terrible decision made between two very talented people who know better. One of them gave us Tha Carter III, and the other gave us the amazing songs from Moana and Encanto. We feel like they'll learn from this and move on. However, it's best that this circus leave town as soon as possible, as "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" joins the ranks of all-time "immediate album skip" songs. That jarring beat is going to haunt our nightmares for weeks to come. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Why Lil Wayne's atrocious "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" is Lin-Manuel Miranda's fault
