Jeeves
Ask Jeeves
1996-2016
Before chatbots were emitting CO2 to give you answers, Jeeves - named after P. G. Wodehouse's fictional valet - attracted users to the all-purpose, reliable answer engine Ask Jeeves, later known as Ask. He enjoyed a second life in the UK from 2009, redesigning him in 3D.

Erin was the first mascot I covered here! Search ‘from:retiredmascots.bsky.social’ if ever you feel like I’m missing anyone.
But I’ll get to the others!

Erin Esurance
Esurance
2005-2010
This Mo Mellady-voiced, quick-witted secret agent would take on spy missions or other heroic activities with her partner, Eric. Her spy persona was withdrawn in later ads, and her being less favoured by audiences than by porn artists resulted in her discontinuation.
