He's Cockney, fer-cryin'-out-loud! He sounds like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Australian would make sense, but he must have moved to London as a wee newt. I think the lizard who licks his eye ("forget the theatrics") is funny. I also think the commercials with the human dude were about as Christopher Guest-ish as a commercial could get. Unjustifiably serious.
