Geico Caveman comercials

[tek]

I think it's very funny that the cavemen are depicted as gay. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Not cool man.

NOT COOL!

I didn't think they were going for "gay" so much as sophisticated. i like this commercial though, very funny.

they're def going for the sophistication, and for some reason i found it annoying. i honestly dont know why, it just pisses me off to see those neanderthals act sophisticated and then they're just obnoxious to the guy who says "even a caveman can do it"

Well, metro at the least. Did you see the one before the restaurant where they are in their apartment? Neat as a pin. Nice clothes. One caveman is playing the piano in another room.

Their species secretly survive for 20,000 years, yet they are not "sophisticated" enough to shave or get laser hair removal [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Geico does dumb down their commercials (most companies do), yet this commercial series is funny on a few levels.

I also didn't get the joke about "to those in Michigan I didn't know it was meatloaf" or something like that.

Basically he's going door to door, and while he was at some family's house, he must have insulted their cooking by not recognizing it as meatloaf or something. Not that diffiuclt. Even you couldn't understand this 'dumbed down' commercial?

And what's all this complaining about 'dumbing down' their commercials. It's a commercial, not some sort of sophisticated high art for chrissakes. What do you expect, "The importance of being Earnest" in 30 seconds?

I didn't see that he was going to people's houses. I saw the meatloaf one and the one where he does the robot.

As far as high art, no--but cleverness is expected. Did you know there is an annual award show for the best commercials?

I began watching the Clio awards 25 years ago when they came out in film and video.

Wow.

You're not a very bright guy, are you.

The joke is like hitting you in the fact, and you're not getting it.

These commercials rule and I will now be using them as a metric to determine people's worth as a person. If you said you don't like them, you should probably set yourself on fire.
