So who doesn't think of Badger whenever they see the Geico Gecko?

Course it also brings to mind Handy Andy from changing rooms.

What happened? He see your face?


Everytime.... and just last night...

There was thread a while back on this and it was detemrined it wasn't him... First, it was Kelsey Grammer, then another guy, and another...

Then I believe Mark Shephard came on and said it wasn't him on a "24" thread...

Well I could name probably 10 or 12 people I know from London that it could be. It just cracks me up.

It also reminds me of the carpenter that was on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

My son and I love that commercial cause it reminds us of England.

Just found this:

"English actor Jake Wood, 33, supplies the Cockney accent in eight new commercials airing for the auto insurance company. He's known primarily for his TV work in Great Britain and for his role in 2004's "Vera Drake."

Just want to point out that I love the gecko, old and new voice. I know nothing of the company itself, but the gecko commercials are great.

Never really thought he sounded like Badger though.

I used to love Geico - till they wanted $1200 more for car insurance than USAA.

But it is a cool campaign!

"How does it feel to be Better Than....?" Kind of has a Badgerish ring to it!
