‘It’s so easy to use geico-dot-com, a caveman could do it!’
‘What? Not. Cool!’
‘I’m sorry… I didn’t know you were there. We could change it…’
Later, in an elegant flat, three cavemen are relaxing when the commercial comes on.
‘That is so condescending.’
I like this commercial. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because the caveman is so well done. Maybe it’s because it shows a film crew (I’ve been a grip). Whatever it is, it strikes me funny.
I feel that these commercials trivialize the very real problems and discrimination cavemen face in society.
I love them too and the closest I’ve ever come to being on a film crew is being on local broadcast television.
Geico commercials are cool.
It just cracks me up how the announcer says “I didn’t know you were THERE!!!”
They rub me the wrong way - I feel, that these commercials trivialize the very real problems and discrimination that some marginalized groups do face in socieity. (“It’s just like those damn _____, always bitching all the time about nothing.”)
But then, most GEICO commercials rub me the wrong way. I don’t think I’m their target demographic.
I hate these. If only Phil Hartman were alive, they could have used his Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer character.
At least we’re seeing fewer of the gecko ads.
I miss the gecko driving into his “Employee of the Month” parking space in his tiny red sports car, rockin’ out. That cracked me up every damn time.
I prefer the “Tiny House” ads.
“I JUST WANNA MAKE AN OMELET!!”
The one where the guy drops the lizard with a splat is pretty cool.
