Probably one of the funniest Geico commercials. "...so stop calling me!" *licks eyeball*
-
I could swear there was a commercial that was before this one, where people were calling his house.
-
OK, got this from a 'stright dope' site, "He was originally to be voiced by Kelsey Grammer, but the SAG went on strike when the ads were to be dubbed. The CGI however was finished and could be used regardless of the actors strike, and an English voice over actor named John Wood (a resident of London and thus not a member of SAG) did a voice over dubbed onto the commercial."
-
I had heard it was an imitator and Grammer's people threatened to sue. I have not verified this though.
-
Is this like his father or something? Lol XDD
-
@smkpisces I remember when they changed and I was mad!

looks like a live gecko
-
i can't be the only one that thinks that Kelsey Grammer didn't do that voice
-
I KNEW IT!!!!!!! I tell my friends all the time that the original gecko did not have a British accent... so they scoff and just say I'm crazy. Thank you for posting this thus helping me dish out some long over due face rubbing! Lmao!

I wish there was a clash of the geckos.... the current Geico gecko bumps into Kelsey Grammer's gecko and...*abruptly cuts to the slogan*... "Geico... 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance."
