http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iomlEcaeZgQTalia Shire is playing the psychologist. She's Adrienne from the Rocky movies and she's also Francis Ford Coppola's brother, Nicolas Cage's aunt and probably a 3rd or 4th cousin of mine. :rofl:

I guess with Talia Shire, there really is more than meets the eye.

5. Geiko sucks - screw their commercials |
|
EVERYONE I've ever spoken to who had to file a claim with Geiko was flaming mad at the company and switched to a real insurance company immediately after the event.

to caveman and gecko. It's not even funny. I must admit to loving the brazen little British accented gecko with his puffed up ego caught in office space ... But the caveman's good too. Obviously the caveman's a fave here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acCfnwTpdxU&feature=related

20. As a Gecko-fan, have you noticed that his voice changed ever so slightly? |
|
I'm thinking a new actor is voicing the gecko

38. There have been a few people voicing it. |
|
The gecko actually had a down-undah accent before the cockney, and before that, Kelsey Grammer.

I have lived in Australia and thought he might have Aussie inflections but then not exactly....more like an Aussie who lives in England working to curb the accent a bit.:)

11. Didn't they used to run the celebrity narrator commercials? |
|
Little Richard, Joan Rivers, the guy from the Actor's Studio, all of them "helping" ordinary people tell their insurance stories.... I loved them best of all, I think the Gecko is cute, and I appreciate the funny intelligence of the Caveman commercials.... I "get' them, but they creep me out. I guess I ,too, am prejudiced against cavemen. The eyeball commercials are useless. What, did they fire their agency? They're terrible.

but they beat that joke into the ground. I find the Gecko less annoying after many different variations.

If you're planning a long running campaign, it's good to make it one that you can change just enough to keep it interesting.

35. None - I hate Geico, and mute or turn off all their commercials. |
|
I called them once for a rate quote, found them to be hundreds of dollars higher than the insurance I had. The salesman said,"Well, it will be higher at first, but over time it will go down." I said, no thanks.
Later, I found Geico had reported that they had DENIED me coverage, and I had a harder time finding new insurance because of my "bad" record.
Geico sucks.
