Comments on: Geico Cavemen http://www.awfulcommercials.com/archives/2005/12/04/geico-cavemen/ Complaints about awful aspects of commercials Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:09:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Darryl http://www.awfulcommercials.com/archives/2005/12/04/geico-cavemen/#comment-96537 Darryl Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:48:04 +0000 http://www.awfulcommercials.com/?p=89#comment-96537 It's been a while since anyone posted anything here, including myself. I stumbled across a "new" commercial today and wanted to share. http://1861project.com/geico-caveman Apparently this was aired on the history channel recently. I'm glad to see a new Caveman commercial. With all the crap Geico is producing lately I thought they might have forgotten about our favorite Cavers.

I don't really care about the game itself, but I'm hoping we get a few new caveman commercials out of the deal. And Geico any more vlogs? I've been waiting for a new one since NYE.

In the time before shoes
Beyond the wall of mountains
There is a winter colder than any winter before
And on the coldest, darkest, longest night
The cavemen were barely clinging to life
They were hungry
And between them they had but one cow to eat
And as the night wore on
More and more people appeared at the cave
Friends
Family
Strangers
And even worst enemies
All cold
All staving
All desperate for succor
The cavemen could have sent them away
But they didn’t
They opened their hearts
And this is what saved their lives
Because the warmth of all those bodies
Pressing together in the cave
Kept them alive
And from that day
Until the end of days
So shall it be
Long Live Long Night

To the Cow!

Finally some new content. Love the Vlog, but they don't update it enough for me. I went back to the Crib today, and low and behold new stuff. NO don't get your hopes up, the Crib isn't back. I haven't check out the whole site yet, but apparently you can film or photograph yourself and have the caveman added to those photos. When I check it out more in-depth I'll update here. Also if you haven't checked out Nick Krolls series the League, might be worth a shot. I'm not overjoyed with it, but I don't hate it either. In fact, I kind of wish the Caveman series would have followed alone the League lines, it might have done a bit better then. Anyway, Happy T-Day everyone! Here is to hoping I'm not the last remaining Caver out there! YAY!!!! Finally some new content. Love the Vlog, but they don’t update it enough for me.

The Deadliest Catch caveman is ok, but I prefer Jeff's Maurice and Max characters. And the sports ones I don't usually see, because I assume they play these during sport events which I don't watch. Hopefully they'll get back to making standard Cave Commercials. I agree Drill Sargent and Abe are pretty funny. Jeff really needs to get a series of his own, or maybe the Old Spice guy and him should team up. :D If you still need copies of the remaining caveman episodes contact me - ponterb@aol.com - and we'll try to arrange a way I can get them to you.

I've been over at youtube searching out any cavemen videos and I found lots; I found "did cavemen invent fire" with I think Jeff reprising his role and the Deadliest Catch one that I'd only just caught a second of twice; there are two episodes from the actual series--I downloaded those, and there is an After Dark one from the end of the crib party scenes--three of the cavemen get together and sing a sad song and it is really quite good. I'm going to have to check out the NHL and baseball ones--it's just so good having fresh cavemen stuff but damn Geico bring back the Crib! I do like the Abe Lincoln and the former drill sargeant therapist commercials--and at least the cavemen are still around----I'll check back here again!! And I've yet to read that Sawyer trilogy....

Looks like a Tennis one and I think another new Baseball one, along with a few Deadliest Catches. I don't think Jeff Daniel Phillips is any of these cavers though the tennis guy looks a bit like him. I think they have him doing honest Abe now. :( Hope this is temporary. If anyone is still out here, give me a shout.

Looks like Geico also has 2 Caveman baseball ones!!! One the Caver is sliding to third and the second one has him riding a Bike in the Gym. Oops, spoke quickly.
