Soothing chicken sounds
Jellyvision's flagship product, ALEX Benefits Counselor, explains medical insurance in a refreshingly intuitive, conversational way. (It's funny, it's clear, it's great. You should use it. Maybe you already do!)
BE SOOTHED BY CHICKENS.
The soothing chicken sounds were a poorly-hidden Easter egg during a lull in narration while we put some important-yet-dull numbers up on screen.
The first time, the narrator asks if the user would like to listen to some soothing beach sounds while they looked at this plan's copays for out-of-network services (or something equally dry). If the user said yes, they heard waves softly crashing, seagulls, etc., for as long as they looked at those numbers.
A few minutes later we present a second set of important-yet-dull numbers. This time the narrator asks, with a more deadpan tone, "While you look this over... would you like to hear some soothing chicken sounds?"

Fun fact: I also voiced that chicken. Some people caught it. Some didn't. ... did you know that I used to be a pro?
