I think that Caveman in the Gieco commercial needs to lighten up.

[texas1928]

I mean come on they are apologizing and taking them out to dinner. I mean for real...

:popcorn:

[RevCheesehead]

1. What about the one who says "I seem to have lost my appetite."

Idiot - it's a free dinner!

And Roast Duck with the mango salsa?? Get a steak, buddy.

[texas1928]

3. I am talking about the one who says he lost his appetite

He needs to lighten up...

I mean really...

How were they supposed to know they were still around... Oh... wait...

George Bush...

Well The caveman is right.

[texas1928]

4. Yeah Mango salsa...

YUCK!!!!!!

I bet it is made in New York city...

[Reciprocity]

2. He is sooo pouty.

[texas1928]

6. And what is it with the other one and the Miami Vice look?

That went out with the 90's

[WCGreen]

14. Well they are Cavemen.....

You were expecting Armani....

[no name no slogan]

44. They look like metrosexuals, IMHO

what self-respecting caveman would EVER leave the cave without a club and some dead animal skins?

[Warchild]

22. NOT COOL!!

[Bridget Burke]

26. I think some of them ARE wearing Armani...

But they are a bit hirsute...

[nutsnberries]

51. thanks for the pics - i love the cavemen commercials!

i ignore most commercials, but those guys crack me up. :thumbsup:

[reyd reid reed]

5. Personally, I think that they oughta just go find a nice glacier

Mango salsa, my ass.

[texas1928]

8. Why didn't they order mammoth burgers.

Haven't we all seen the Flintstones?

[blue neen]

7. The cavemen's expressions are priceless.

Mango salsa does not sound like a good choice to me, though.

[texas1928]

9. Yeah that sounds nasty.

I prefer Pace myself.

[Reciprocity]

10. I think whoever the actors are should win an Oscar.

The emotion they convey with all that makeup is amazing. They seem so cultured urban and sophisticate. I believe them.

[baldguy]

11. I've always wondered just what kind of cavemen they are.

They have the pronounced brow ridges and low foreheads of Homo erectus, but appear to exhibit the mental sophistication & language skills of Neanderthalensis.

[reyd reid reed]

13. Metrosexual cavemen, of course.

gack!

[texas1928]

32. The missing link

GEICO FOUND IT!!!!!

[Dem2theMax]

12. I must be the dumbest person in the universe.

Oh wait. That's *.

OK, second dumbest person.

I do NOT get that commercial. I don't know how many times I've seen it and I sit there going "HUH?"

I look at it this way. I may be dumb. But at least I'm not a repuke. :evilgrin:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. I agree.. what's happening in that commercial? Who's taking them

out for dinner, and why, what's the apology for?

I'm never listening when that commercial comes on, so I'm intrigued, but I don't know what's going on there.

[rockymountaindem]

18. Here's the premise:

Geico put out a hypothetical ad wherein they claim their website is so easy to use, even a caveman could figure it out. The cavemen you see in the real ad got offended, and Geico is taking them out to dinner to apologize for insulting their intelligence.

That's what I understand it to be. Beats the hell out of more overplayed gecko ads.

[Dem2theMax]

21. OK, now that I have an idea of what is going on, I'll pay attention

so it makes sense to me! LOL.

Thank you! :)

[Orsino]

43. Yeah. It helps to have seen the prequels.

It started with a caveman techie on the commercial set getting upset at the line, and in a later commercial, cavemen sitting at home (in an upscale pad) were annoyed to have seen it on their television. These are the ones who are shown being taken out for dinner and an apology in the current iteration.

I find the deadpan delivery hilarious.

[BigMcLargehuge]

25. actually, the cavemen were the technicians working on the commercial

shoot.

I've liked that ad since it first started to air. Very creative and beats that stupid gecko.

[Dem2theMax]

19. LOL. I have company!

I'm so happy to hear that I'm not alone in this. :)

I never pay attention to commercials. I have the ability to tune them out even when the volume is at full blast. But I keep catching the last bit of this caveman thing and it's driving me nuts that I don't know what the heck is going on. LOL.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Yeah I always "tune in" in time to catch the duck with mango salsa bit.

The explanation above is good though. Now I can die in peace.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. The Geico guy who tries to apologize reminds me of David Dreier

Anyone else find that, too?

And is there such a thing as roast duck with mango salsa?

[scottcsmith]

16. Cavemen are jerks

There, I said it. And why would the caveman agree to go to a fancy restaurant and then say he's lost his appetite? Jerk.

[Scout]

23. well, I think he is totally justified!

after all, they COULD have done some research.

Hmmmph.


I love those commercials with the cavemen, they are my favorites along with Quiznos Bob.

[texas1928]

35. The Quiznos baby is great.

But there is a car rental commercial that is hilarious.

The doctor walks in and the patient is leaning over for his "examine"

The doctor is pulling a glove onto this hand that has HUGE fingers.

And the patient makes a break for the door.

I Laugh out loud everytime.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. I HATE That Commercial

Yeah, i agree with you that they have a bad attitude, but there's another thing that bugs me.

In the first commerical, the guy is watching a plasma TV and the other one is playing a white grand piano, in a living room large enough in which to land a plane!

THEY'RE NOT CAVEMEN! THEY DON'T LIVE IN A CAVE! The guy on the commercial doesn't insult Cro-Magnons or Neanderthals! He says C-A-V-E-M-A-N! If they don't live in a cave (and they don't) he's not talking about them! That bugs the crap out of me!

The Professor

[Bridget Burke]

27. Yes, but the Cavemen know that "Caveman" is just code...

For Neandertal or Cromag. Perhaps they should call themselves Caveman-Americans?

The commercial with the chic loft does feature cave art on a large canvas. They are true to their roots, even though they are up-to-date in many respects.

I consider myself Irish-American, although I neither live in a shanty nor own any lace curtains. Of course, I've got very long toes & a brow ridge that prevents my wearing most ladies' hats--it's only noticeable when I'm trying on millinery. Perhaps I'm taking this too personally.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Irish Is An Ancestry and Nationality

Neaderthal and Cro-Magnon are species, not nationalities. Caveman means someone who lives in a cave. These are two uptight yuppies with more attitude than sense. It sucks the humor out of the commercial for me.
The Professor

[Bridget Burke]

29. Cro-Magnons are Homo sapiens!

Guess I'm still taking it too seriously. Current theories hold that the most common Irish bloodlines began long before the Celts arrived--we go 'way back!

(And--this serious discussion was inspired by a TV Commercial!)

[ProfessorGAC]

30. That's Ok

Hey, we're havin' fun! I'm southern italian, and they have found fossil evidence of humans there that are only about 30,000 years newer than australopithicus. So, we go back a ways too! But, i ain't no caveman.
The Professor

[Bucky]

47. By your definition, Osama bin Laden is a caveman. Maybe a captain caveman.

hee hee

[In_The_Wind]

31. He hasn't discovered humor ~ yet.

[texas1928]

33. But in another commercial one of them has a really nice laptop

and the other is playing a piano.

I mean if you have all that you have to have seen something funny by then.

great smilie by the way.

[Blue_In_AK]

46. Speaking of humor...

that reminds me of the FedEx commercial where the caveman office flunkie tries to have the packaged delivered by pterodactyl. When that fails, his boss asked him if he used FedEx. Flunkie says, no, FedEx hasn't been invented yet. Boss - "not my problem. You're fired." The flunkie storms out of the cave, kicks the little raptor and promptly gets stepped on. That one just cracks me up. (Having been an office flunkie myself for years, this makes perfect sense to me.)

[NJ Democrats]

48. That is a great one!!!

I agree will the points made about the other caveman. What a looser.

[In_The_Wind]

49. It's tough being the flunkie.

[Blue_In_AK]

50. I love that smiley....

I can't tell you how many bosses I would have liked to use it on. (Being self-employed ROCKS!)

[harleydad]

34. I absolutely love that commercial. What a riot.

One just wouldn't think cavemen have feelings, but, why not?

:rofl:

[LaurenG]

36. I just saw that and thought of this thread

he's a mad cave man. Only water for him.

[Blue_Tires]

37. lol

the caveman and his ilk need to go back where they came from! I HATE those people for jumping the border and stealing OUR jobs!!!:silly: :spank: :nuke:

[Left Is Write]

38. You mean the one who doesn't have much of an appetite?

He's just oozing attitude, isn't he?

I like the other one. The one who orders the roast duck with the mango salsa.

[texas1928]

39. The one who orders the duck...

just has that 80's Don Johnson as Crockett vibe going.

[Left Is Write]

41. Yes, he does. The pink jacket, the sunglasses...

he's a Sonny Wannabe.

[deutsey]

40. No wonder they went extinct...

[SOteric]

42. Civilisationist!

He has every right to his Australopithicanthropal rage!!

[texas1928]

45. Nuh UH

Just like the indians they have to change.

:popcorn:
