Gecko Voice: Brit or Aussie?
4 Comments
Got the e-mail below from Matt Halsey on Sunday night. He references the GEICO Gecko, one of several characters I mentioned on Sunday in the course of explaining the way the book of Proverbs personifies wisdom and folly. I said I wasn’t sure if the gecko’s accent was British or Australian. Now I know! I won’t mention that a certain member named Theresa (last name withheld for her privacy) was the person who was so adamant that the Gecko was Australian. It’s okay, Miss Wheeler (first name withheld). I forgive you.
Josh,
I’m sure you’ve had several e-mails already, but GEICO’s Gecko is spoken by Jake Wood, an English actor who stars in the British soap opera, “Eastenders.” As Brits ourselves we can tell a Cockney accent when we hear one, guv’nor. :-)
Regards,
Matt and Amanda Halsey
Hahaha!!! Hilarious.
By Bernadette John on 07/29/2009As usual I was only “the voice” to those around me making “their” corrections and comments. Thank you for keeping this just between us:)
By Miss Theresa Wheeler(my life is an open book/mouth on 07/31/2009Theresa, you’re an innocent victim. Thanks for being a good sport.
By Joshua Harris on 08/01/2009I think it’s funny that a gecko talks about eating fish and chips. I can’t get a visual, but that at least should have been a dead giveaway that he is supposedly from Great Britain.
