[...] Mark my words, they’re going to write this into the show as a running gag and, just like that, an already bad idea will become simply insufferable. Ancient carvings depicting the female form 15,000 years ago reveal that prehistoric women were revered for their curvaceous bodies and prominent buttocks… [...]

These commercials absolutely freakin’ kill me. Still, I started looking at my watch towards the end.

Does the fact that there were no such thing as “cave men” matter at all?

I love the commercials BTW.

The commercials are among the best on TV lately. But a series? Crash and burn faster than Commander in Chief.

We’ll end up sick of the cavemen eventually, so Geico will lose that after a while but its a smart move on someones part for a new sitcom when America really needs a good laugh about now. Will they hit a homerun like Seinfeld and break into something unique? I say no. Wil it be funny for a while? I say yes

I’m thinking a TV movie, maybe. In between the seasons, when most other shows are in their breaks.

I love the scream when you flush the toilet while he’s in the shower. Just like home.

It may be too much of a good thing. They’ll take the cavemen through the usual sitcom scenarios and it will run its course like 3′s Company, ALF, The Hendersons, etc. and even maybe have a surge like a totally unrelated show like “Who wants to be Millionaire”. We’ll end up sick of the cavemen eventually, so Geico will lose that after a while but its a smart move on someones part for a new sitcom when America really needs a good laugh about now. Will they hit a homerun like Seinfeld and break into something unique? I say no. Wil it be funny for a while? I say yes. I can forsee some clever funny scenarios they can get in. One word of caution is that I hope they don’t try and make men in general look like a bunch of apes. I wouldnt like that at all and may actually look away from the network its running on and maybe even Geico for causing it all!

Link Away Saturday…

Since yesterday’s was mildly successful, I figured I’d put up a trackback post for the weekend. Heck, I’ll even provide some content from my (way too early) morning surfing. Patterico provides an example of how not to try and pass……

Forged, yep, that’s the guy, thanks. He was hilarious on TalkSoup, very sarcastic. He left the show sayin’ he was gettin’ some kinda talk show but I guess it didn’t happen. The guy who replaced him sucked, so we stop watchin’ it until he was replaced by … um … damn that short term memory loss … I can see her face … she’s beautiful … played Ross’s girlfriend … is now on Ghost Talker … or something like that. Anyway, she was very funny on Talk Soup too, but Skunk Boy was the best.

Are you thinking of this guy? 91Veteran on March 3, 2007 at 12:40 AM

I think it was this guy. I think it has potential. Henson was funny on Talk Soup, so if it's him he should be able to pull it off.

This looks like a winner in my book. To be fair, I think “Rules of Engagement” is the funniest thing since the jokes made about sliced bread. So take this opinion with a grain of salt. Kevin M on March 2, 2007 at 8:47 PM

If this is the Rules of Engagement you're talking about, then you are without a doubt the smartest man alive.

I hear CBS is developing a weekly hour long drama about the Verizon Wireless guy and UPS Whiteboard guy as the crimefighting co-owners of a full-service business center in a suburban Chicago strip mall. It was pitched as Murder She Wrote but with guaranteed overnight shipping and the fewest dropped calls.

The wifey and I also think that the main caveman in the ads is played by the guy who used to host “Talk Soup” … the guy with a white stripe in his hair, “Skunk Boy” … anybody remember him and his name? Tony737 on March 2, 2007 at 9:14 PM

I was soooo expecting a wild yeowl and a crazy swing, but alas I was let down.

P.S. Yeah, sometimes simple and predicatble is better then what the heck was that about?
