Geico Cavemen FAQ and Definitive Video Post

All Geico Cavemen Commercials
and FAQ

I first reviewed the restaurant Geico Cavemen ad here, and from the huge comment response I learned a lot of other people liked the ad as well.

Since then I’ve posted on other cavemen spots. With the amount of cavemen commercials out there I felt the need to start this definitive caveman article, which will feature all the current ads, and be updated with the reviews on the new ones when and if they show up.

Additionally, if one more person asks if a caveman is really Val Kilmer, or what the song playing in the airport is, I will go insane. So at the bottom of this article I will also maintain a “Geico Caveman FAQ”. So read the frequently-asked-questions before you ask a frequently asked question. For the love of god, read it first.

New Simpsons Movie Trailer

There’s a new Simpsons Movie trailer out now, and it’s looking pretty good, especially if you see it at a nice resolution and in great sound quality.

Earlier I called a previous televised trailer for the movie one of the worst commercials of 2006. This new trailer sways me from the first impressions of that somewhat disappointing preview. It answers one big question, the one asking why even bother with a Simpsons movie. Seeing it as it will probably appear on the big screen, it’s showing off some great looking animation, and certainly has cinematic qualities that will makes sure the movie isn’t just a bigger, longer, and uncut Simpsons television episode.

Also: parts of this trailer are actually funny.

Top 6 Worst Commercials of 2006

#6: Chrysler / SunCom co-op

I’m not big on top 10 “whatever” lists, and didn’t plan on doing one for the worst commercials of 2006. Until I ran into a few lists that other publications had done. Namely, this list by Slate.com made me cock my head to the side like a confused dog and whimper out a confused grunt. Really Slate, do you really think these are the first ten worst commercials of the year? Or are they just the first ten commercials you found? In fact one of them (the Fudgems one) after viewing I decided must be one of the BEST of 2006. (I did agree with the article on at least one contender.)
