This is more for the Americans since we have this new SUPERSTAR RISIN' know as the "Gieko Gecko" who speaks with a British accent, has a slightly sassy attitude, and sells car insurance in TV commercials. Since the European tour was all screwed up with the fans being treated like crap and now finding out Mick pays a ball crushing 1.5% taxes on his mega fortune I'm going with the GECKO (lizard). The GECKO is totally cool..... AGREE or NOT? or Nominate the most cool dude besides these 2.....

Gecko by a small margin. I think his accent might be Australian though, making him even cooler. Right Rockman?

Damn straight Lukester, the Gecko is taking over Mick's place in Coolsville (Rockman won't know cause I'm sure it only plays in the states since it's only an American company. Might be Aussie, will have to wait 15 minutes for the next commercial - lol)

bullcrap! mick is way cooler.

Mick for sure. I heard the voice of the gecko is kelsey grammer (frasier).

Personally, I think Esteban is a better insurance salesmen than that @#$%& gecko. As a matter of fact, I haven't seen him for a while. Hopefully he got fired.

..."haven't seen him for awhile?" are you talking about the Gecko? Turn on th eTV, I guarantee you will see him real soon, doing something slightly cooler than Mick

who is that ?

I stand corrected, MB, it is a British accent. I hope I didn't offend anyone with that mistake. The voice is Marc Warren, a British actor.


But, I think the GEICO cavemen are the coolest. ...You know they get offended by the GEICO TV pitch man who says, "it's so simple, even a caveman could do it."

ive noticed that the gecko used to have a more sophisticated british accent like Higgins from magnum p.i.. now he has a more cockney drawl. I wish i was at the Gieko board meeting where they discussed the geckos accent.

This reminds me of a Dutch tv commercial for anti foot fungus stuff:


He's called Schimpie, and he explains in fine detail what is so disgusting about foot fungus.

We've got the foot fungus guy too......but he's not nearly as disgusting as the phlegm (spelling?) guy. He moves into your lungs and doesn't want to leave, has a suitcase, and he is green.

I can just image how awful the suitcase must be.

that's funny

That nail fungus commercial makes me want to puke big time (and it's animated) !!! Wonder when they're gonna start showing colon exams? Then, yeast infections-can't wait...gonna need to have a bucket next to me....(and they said Janet Jackson's boob was obcene...)

PS. The GECKO goes into different British Dialects just like Mick - he learned from the master....

Yeah but the GECKO pays his fair share of taxes...

Yeah, there's a lot of disgusting commercials. The tampon-commercials are pretty nasty too.

I like the ones with Bob, the guy who takes Enzyte for natural male enhancement. He's always smiling. Lots of erectile subliminal imagery, too, like even the way Bob waves.

How about the dude watching football when his cute little partner is ready for some "Hot Monkey Love" (nice little curves on her I must say, no anorexia going on). So he sticks in a video tape for the game and runs into the room where she's at.....only one problem - the dude forgot to TURN DOWN THE SOUND -lol. So he's gonna be humping her and listening to the game at the same time....this IS were the Viagra comes in..... BTW, were's CindyC, I wonder if she's ever been with a guy that had a 4 hour "Viagra Erection" - lol

LOL ... that was my exact thought when I saw the topic. Definitely the coolest Gekko of all. And you even got in a Cohl joke, my hat is off to you, sir.

There was a health fair once in my city that had an educational tool designed for children. It was a replicated colon, big enough for a small child to climb through, kind of like a playground tunnel. I have to wonder what those kids felt like when they came out the other end.

The Colossal Colon. Too funny.

im going with mick..the geiko geckos cool, like..he's a powerful figure of the commercial empire...and one of the better commercials on tv...but..you know...it's SIR mick...not SIR giecko gecko....oh..and micks in the rolling stones...another plus point

the Gecko outweighs Mick and can probably kick his ass.

...You know, I think you might be right JJ Flash....good point now that I think about it...
