I love the golf baby.  Shankapotomus!  I laugh out loud everytime I see it.  Next stock buy, I will check you guys out.

Great ad!  I remember what you were advertising the first view.  As you know, that is amazing!  

Job Well Done

E-Trade baby was the comic relief needed for a very serious subject. Couldnt have been a better brain storming session on having e-trade baby on board

I hate ads - but love the singing babies.  All the E-Trade babies are great, great ads.

I laugh outloud and are the only ones I would actually play back!  Keep the baby ads coming!

Best ads ever!

Etrade baby commercial is the best in several years, perhaps since "Where's the beef?"  that aired several decades ago, which younger viewers may not remember.  Time flies!

Where is the "original" E-trade baby?  The new baby is cute,

but he just doesn't have the same "attitude" in his

delivery as that original baby!  Please, E-trade powers-that-be,

bring back the "Shankapotomus" baby!!  1/17/2010

The creepy clown is still my all time favorite.

Forget 'where's the beef'...where's the etrade baby???

Yes, I agree with Regina, the new baby just doesn't do it for me, I laughed every time they showed him and his friends. What happened?

Please bring back the other baby. I rather watch the other kid grow up then watch new baby.

The new baby is ugly and doesn't work!  I loved the old baby and his attitude!

The original E-trade baby ROCKS! Bring back shankapotamus! I love that kid!

Bring back our E-Trade baby with the attitude.  We love him!  All babies are cute, but he is perfect for this ad.  My favorite is the Shankapotomus one!

Bring the other baby back...he is better and way more fun to watch!  His big brown eyes are so cute....

Yes, Bring back the 1st baby---much more attitude & expressioon

The new baby just doesn't work period- bring the original e-trade baby back - I don't care if he's 3 or 4 years old!  I think an advertising campaign with the original child will be far more effective than one using a new baby... Clearly someone underestimated the public's attachment to the e-trade baby!

new baby not cutting it!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...need better reaction baby ..like the prior one..ie no flexing pipes...the best..

I agree that the new baby isn't working, please bring back the original e-trade baby:)

Miss the old e-trade baby, I laughed out loud every time the ad came on.

New e-trade baby does not compare to the last little guy, bring back the baby we love.

I have to agree with the other comments, the original baby, Nigal has the best attitude, expressions, and delivery in getting the message across. All babies are cute, but Nigal really hits the mark! Thanks ETrade for the commericals, they are the best of all to watch.

I LOVE the original E-Trade baby and laughed every time I saw the commercials. Everyone is right the new baby doesn't cut it...Even if the original E-trade baby is 3 or 4 years old, commercials of him as he grows up still trading on E-Trade will have a greater impact for your commercial.  Please reconsider....

Bring back the original E-Trade baby.  He is awesome!  Cannot get enough of those commercials.  Big mistake with new baby.

I miss the original baby...he had such expressiveness...the new baby just doesn't do it for me.   BRING BACK SHANKOPOTAMUS!

How do I say this...the new baby is too cold.  He just doesn't project the personality the brown eyed baby did.  

I prefer the original baby, as well.  I realize that he's too old to do it, but I think they could have found another baby with the same personality.  Personality is in the face, and the new baby just doesn't have it.  

Please........bring back the original baby!!!!!!!!! The new one just isn't the same al all!!! When will he be back?

Just watched the etrade superbowl commercial.  Not even funny.  Nigel and Benny were a one-in-a-million tag-team.  Can't believe you didn't expect fallout from the American viewing public when the poor decision was made to replace them.  I would suggest you secure contracts with the original families before a competitor capitalizes on your mistake.

the new baby isn't quite the same. Bring back the original baby!

PLEASE PLEASE bring back the original etrade baby!!!!!  You know, Mr.Shankopotamus

Not even close,original baby was much better....the golf one,and golden pipes with the other baby were my favorites

These commercials with the new baby just aren't funny.  Way to go Etrade!  

I also prefer the original baby. If he's too old then at least keep the same voice as the original baby it would be so much better.

BRING BACK SHANKOPOTAMUS! Please bring the other baby back. Love those commercials.

Please bring the old baby back I was disappointed when I didn't see him on the superbowl commercial. Everybody I talked to feels the same way. Please reconsider to bring him back even if he is older. We all luv him it seem. Bad move on your part. I hope the next commercial he's back

Bring back Shank and friends please, we don't care if he's a little older!

Just wanted everyone to know that I am sharing the comments with eTrade and Nick.  Sure post Super Bowl ads, they'll take a look at what's next, but assume we'll see the current commercials for a bit.  Personally like the "Girlfriend" ad, but Shankopotomus is still the best!

Please bring back the "original" e-trade baby.  He was just sooooo cute.  The first is the best.  I just adored him always made me laugh.   :)

How do I get my baby to be an etrade baby??? He would be awesome!!

bring back shankopotomus baby!!  this "new" baby doesn't have it at all.  BAD decision on somebody's part. :(

I agree - I'd much rather watch the original baby grow up. I'm just not entertained by the new one.

The original baby should come back.  The new baby just doesn't have that "it" factor.  I would rather see the original baby all grown up than this new baby.  He's cute but not funny.  BRING BACK THE SHANKOPOTOMUS!!!!!

TAKE THIS BROKEN WINGS!!!!!  

Hey, Mark, I'm sure that Nick & Etrade get gazillions of people wanting their babies to be the next Etrade baby. I'm one of them! We have the most comical-cute twin baby boys, 13 mos old. If Etrade uses a casting agency, would they be willing to share the name so I can submit a photo to that agency? Or another contact would be great, if they are willing to share it... Thanks!  Regina (a different Regina from the one that posted earlier, small world)

Admittedly, my Husband and I crack up at every ETrade baby commercial.  However, he and I have a nightly disagreement on who is the better ETrade Baby.  He loves the "shocked look" and I will be a Shankopotamus lover forever.  Please bring back the original baby (unless he is holding out for too much money!!)

I love the original baby also!  Where did he go?

Everyone, thanks for keeping the conversation going. We're looking into this, and if we find out more about becoming an eTrade baby, we'll post here.

First and foremost .. babies are not ugly . I think that is a poor use of judgement . What's one baby from another??  Anyway as long as there are a babies in the role I think the commericals will still continue to get RAVE reviews. I love the fact that all babies have a chance at the commerical . The world is mixed with all races , creed and gender. With that being said keep the commericals coming and allow more babies the opportunity at the fun & cute experience. I love all the Etrade commercials .. It was a topic at the water cooler if you know what I mean . LOL !! I can't wait to see what else is in store. BTW I would like to know how to get my baby on the commercial he is 9 mths and act as if he is a toddler..LOL-SMH-Thank you!!

Bring back the old baby. He is so cute. Love those big eyes and attitude. New baby doesn't cut it.  I don't care the little lover is 4 years old, bring him back.  

No doubt!  The original baby's attitude and delivery were what made the commercials!

So, maybe what we're really saying here is, get the original guy who did the voiceovers back.  Yes, the new baby is cute... fine.   But it was the voiceover guy that made it all work.   He wants a raise?   Pay up!    He's worth it.   (And no, I'm not him).

I agree with Rhonda - if you have to have the new baby, at least keep the same voice as the old one. The new one just isn't funny!

I agree with Dean.  Whoever did the voiceover for the original baby was great.  His voice was perfect for the commercial.  I don't think the problem now is so much with the new baby, as it is with the voice...just not the same feel.

Hi, Mark Young, just checking back to see if by chance you have been able to learn how one can enter their baby to become the next eTrade baby?  I keep checking back here just in case.  Thanks so much!

A few folks have asked me how to get their baby as the next baby.  At this point Grey Advertising (agency for the commercials) would be your best start...

Thanks so much, Mark, for the excellent follow up!

I liked the 1st etrade baby with those big brown doe eyes. The new one has no looks or personality--sorry. Did the 1st 1 grow up too fast or something? Well, they all do. But, he made it for etrade.

Just as with the Womens Ugg Boots that this footwear company have introduced the Bailey Button offers the same level of comfort. Certainly for women who are looking for a pair of Womens Ugg Boots to team with jeans or a long skirt these are ideal.

But as you will soon discover these Womens Ugg Boots are made more unique by the inclusion of a large wooden button with the Womens Ugg Boots logo on it and an elastic band closure.  So it allows you to wear them with this detailing on shown or you can undo the button and then turn the top over to create a cuff.

With all the boots included in Womens Ugg Boots Australia’s Classic Collection range the Bailey Button is lined with twin faced Grade A sheepskin. Also there is the traditional suede heel guard to ensure that not only is this area protected but offers this part of the Womens Ugg Boots support. Plus within the boots you find each pair has sock liners that are made from sheepskin PU foam so increasing the level of comfort a person feels when wearing them.
