Geico Cavemen Are Getting Their Own TV Show!

I was reading my magazine and I saw this, I think we all have seen the Geico cavemen commercials. I have and there hilarious...but a tv show?

"The grizzly cavemen who star in the Geico insurance ads appear to have struck a primal chord in viewers. They're so wildly popular, they're getting their own show! ABC announced on March 2 that it has ordered a pilot inspired by the ads. The sitcom, according to Variety, 'will revolve around three prehistoric men who must battle prejudice as they attempt to live as normal thirtysomethings in modern Atlanta."

I cannot stand those cave men characters! I hate the way they look, and I hate their snarly attitudes. Nothing about them makes me want to buy GEICO insurance. The fact is I have GEICO insurance now, and strange as this sounds, I dislike those characters so much I'm tempted to shop for another insurer. I don't like the cave men and I don't like their stupid gecko, either.

Obviously I'm in the minority.

hahahah wow your angry about this.

They just gross me out! Something about them really turns my stomach. I know it's strange. I don't normally even think about stuff I see on ads, which I always mute. I think I have that distaste because I wrote advertising and marketing copy (in addition to speeches) for many years at the job I left last fall to return to school. I have strong feelings about advertising making a pleasant association with viewers/readers/buyers. Obviously some people make a pleasant association with those cave guys or they wouldn't keep using them and making new ads. I'm just not one of them. I think I see them as insulting and degrading to both humans and to the great apes, both of which are species I love in their pure forms.

Birdgirl, agreed. Haha. I just hate them. Something about them makes me want to break my tv.

Every where I go....lalalalala... I thought we where alike???

I like the cavmen but,,,I admit they are playing it up to much and I am getting less and less enthused...

I respect your opinion completely birdgirl haha I can understand where your coming from.

i know that stupid song is stuck in my head...LOL. Thanks Skink, you just refreshed my memory..LOL

i think the commercials are funny but i dont know if a show would be funny. i wonder if geico will advertise during the show?

The first commercial was slightly humorous... but after they came out with a full series.. :wtf:

the caveman arent bad... but they try to hard sometimes.


now the gekko... hes where its at

interveiwer- But you need to go online to save money

gekko - which is like what? asking you to stand up? if i said, hey if you stand up you could save hundreds of dollars, i doubt youd be like "no thanks im so rich i think ill keep my seat".

omg lol hes my favorite commercial mascot.

omg I know! The little geko is sooo cute! I wanna hug him!

i didn't think that the cavemen were funny
having a show is sad, honestly
but, then again, i dont fancy commercials

ya i never got what all the rage was about with the caveman, i thought they were stupid from the first time I saw the commercial

will there be cavewomen? i never see them.....

The only reason I have geico insurance is because they were under 150.00 for 6 months coverage.My local agent was charging me nearly double that amount for insurance from farmers.I LOATHE those damn cavemen commercials.As far as I'm concerned, it insults the intelligence of the people they are attempting to gain as customers.It's like saying, we know you're a complete moron,but our site is written in moron so don't worry.

I like one caveman. He is 'current'. You can tell with his racket, he is a competitor; and a very civilized one. He wears his $50 polo shirt. He is on tv arguing his point. He throws parties in his apartment with a balcony and is evidently popular.

The guy who has to visit a shrink.....fawk him.

Yea,those commericals are kinda stupid....But ya'll have to agree about one thing,that the point of any commerical is to put product name reconition in peoples minds and wether one likes the Cavemen or not,Geico (and its ad agency) has more than suceeded at this!

In fact their ad campain has worked so well even stoners on a cannabis message board are talking about them!!

wow...

we got sum cavemen-hating people on here

if u dont lyk the commercial just...i dunno..turn the channel?

my dad fucking LOVES those commercials. this should be good news for him.

i like the new commercial where hes talking to a pshyciatrist and hes talking to the caveman doll lol

im glad to bring the news of this to everyone haha
