I can just imagine this. The worlds gonna end and we are all gonna die, but there is some good news...What is it...I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico
Haha...when I first saw this, I thought, "Yay, Speed Racer is back on!" Then Trixie said that line about Geico...and I made the same face that Speed did at 0:23.
According to the late Peter Fernandez two years ago at Otakon, he sadly did *not* provide the voice of Speed here. In fact neither he nor Corrine were even approached to reprise their roles.
This commercial is also the LAST TIME (outside of the cameo in the Live Action "Speed Racer" film) that we will hear the great Peter Fernandez. He passed away on Friday, July 16, 2010 at 83. This commercial is now a treasure.
No, that really IS Corrine Orr--she just forgot the vocal inflections over the years, but it's really "TRIXIE". And, yes, that is ALSO Peter Fernandez. In this case, he pitched his voice a bit higher (he was 78!!!), but that IS him. So, yea, GEICO got the Bona-Fides for this ad. ('sides, Veronica Hart, a.k.a. "ASH" is kinda country-western, vocally--see "THE SLAYERS"). No, this is REALLY "Speed" and "Trixie"--one more time, 37 years down the line.
The best part about this video is the fact that Speed keeps going towards the bridge after Trixie tells him it's out. They should make more anime Geico commercials. lol
Nope. Trans-Lux originally produced it (a.k.a., American International TV's second wing). DiC did not exist in 1969. (this "old kid" should know!! I used to watch "Speed Racer" religiously after school back-in-the-day)
But, only 20 years after the fact. Let me show you MY age: When Speed Racer originally came on, the TRANS-LUX logo was plastered directly over the image of Speed running to the Mach 5. On the later DiC--and video--versions, that logo is gone!! On the spinning wheel, the title spun-out into a white graphic(standard on anime imports at the time--see ASTRO BOY or KIMBA) saying "Speed Racer copyright 1967 Trans-Lux". The new DiC version has the current red logo.
The "Bedroom Window" logo from '95. It was about that time that DiC acquired "Speed Racer" and began showing it on MTV (which is where most current fans saw it first). MTV ran it at night, along with AEON FLUX, mainly because of the violence in Speed Racer (outside of the DiC logo after the show ended, all the episodes were the same as I saw them back in the '70s--same American versions, with "everything" intact (as edited by Titra Prods. back then).
@moonymonster so true around this saem time (2005ish) they had the fake commercials there was a hair loss one, the Tiny house one and this that all stand out
@prede89 I agree, it sounds like Veronica to me too! =D I'll have to send Veronica an email and ask if she voiced Trixie in this commercial. Hopefully, we can confirm this. ^^
does anyone remember the REALLY old one where it was like a constellation in the night sky of a car and then a comet goes thru it and cracks the windshield? i'm just mentioning it because i think its the oldest one i can remember.
I remember that one. I first saw that about 10 years ago. The weirdest geico commercial that I remember during that time though featured a guy and a waitress at a diner where the guy get a sandwhich and says to the waitress "Oh uh I didnt want mayo," then she takes the top half and wipes off the mayo by using the table. It was disgusting but hilarious. =)
i luv this! i remember seeing it one time............this is a real episode, i think in the real ep, trixie is trying 2 tell speed 2 lose and let this one other person win the race so he could get the money...............i think. im not positive. but its so easy 2 parody becuz their lips never match their speech! they could be singing jingle bells, and nobody would notice the differance!
holy crap, watch chim-chim (the monkey for those of you that probably dont know) when she's telling Speed the part about saving the money, he freaking nods like "yeah that's right, ride your arse on off that bridge".......that just makes this bit even funnier IMHO
His right foot must have been stunned too to keep those same RPM's the whole time!!!!
