How about the seemingly British chap (not a cartoon character) with his hoity toity Parliamentary British accent to lure people into calling a company that will represent someone against the IRS?

The bee is supposed to sound like Antonio Banderas, I'm not sure if it's his voice or an impersonator. I suspect they are targetting women who think he's hot or something.
The Lizard is, I think supposed to be a Brit. I find a British accent much more appealing to listen to than if they had used a New Jersey accent or a southern accent.
What's more ridiculous than a talking lizard? A British talking lizard.
"Dirty Mouth? Clean it up with Orbit gum!" She's cute, but I suspect too skinny.
