E-Trade's finance-talking infant was originally created by WPP's Grey New York as a one-time demonstration that the online brokerage is so easy, even a baby can do it. But viewers couldn’t resist the stock-buying baby after "Talking Baby Part 1" in the third quarter of Super Bowl XLII and this fourth-quarter reprise of the theme, yielding an enduring brand mascot set for five more Super Bowl appearances. Its final Super Bowl appearance would come in 2013 with "Save It."
