Is that a lizard in your pants or ... oh my God that IS a lizard!

Erin from Esurance is a slut. She's so easy a caveman could do her.

I liked the original voice actor better. Not the dweeb from Angel.

He's probably just trying to help the lizards find the helping friendly book, which in doing so makes them a crook none the less.

Headline would make more sense if the story was about GECKOS.

From Wikipedia:

The company's ads sometimes focus on its reptilian mascot, Martin the Gecko, an anthropomorphic Day Gecko created by The Martin Agency and most recently a CGI creature generated by Framestore CFC. The gecko first appeared in 1999 during the Screen Actors Guild strike that prevented the use of live actors. In the original commercial, where the gecko pleads for people to stop calling him in error, mistaking gecko for GEICO, he was thought to have been voiced by Kelsey Grammer. In the subsequent commercials, the gecko speaks with an English (Cockney) accent, because it would be unexpected, according to Martin Agency's Steve Bassett. Jake Wood, a British actor and comedian, is the current voice of the GEICO gecko. In current commercials the gecko's accent is more working-class, perhaps in an effort to further "humanize" him.

Do any of the English Farkers think he sounds like Stuart Pearce (new window) or is it just me?
