I love those commercials, because they reflect our "victim" society and everyone taking offense at the slightest thing, plus metrosexual cavemen are a hoot!!

Phil Hartman did it best:

"Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you."

Those whiny, liberal cavemen may be a good parody of modern liberals, but I can’r stand them.

Gotta use the existing actors. GEICO is annoying, but the cavemen, what with social hangups et al, works. Not sure the idiom can survive a TV season, but what the heck? Couldn’t be worse than most of the pap swill out now.

I just called my mother on this..Exploiting Cavemen isn’t right. What if people started saying that the Internet is so easy to use that IslandJeff could do it? How does that make you feel? Excuse me while I “IslandJeff” the internet....

Haven’t watched a half hour sitcom in so long, I can’t remember the last one I watched. So honestly, it don’t matter to me what they do - I won’t watch it anyway.

That being said, stupid idea. Looks cute on paper, but can you imagine trying to come up with season 3’s plot lines? It’s so limited in concept, the worst case scenario would be if it was incredibly successful. It could be a runaway hit, blowing everyone out of the time slot, and die such a horrible death.

Pull the plug now, toss the club into the closet and leave it to Geico commercials.

It was funny at first, but now it’s just stupid. It’s like the energizer bunny, the commercials were unexpected and funny at first and now, I refuse to buy energizer batteries because I’m so sick of that damn bunny.

Folks, this ain't gonna be A Caveman in Judge Judy's Court and Other Modern Places. Rather, it is directed at the latter day cavemen known as, well, us:
Although the project is at a nascent stage -- there's no script and no cast -- plans call for the comedy to be titled "Cavemen" and focus on a trio of prehistoric characters who battle prejudice in modern-day Atlanta.
A weekly re-enactment of the piranha attack on Imus? No thanks.

I want to see what Tina looks like before I make a decision on any potential TV series.

The Cavemen are about to jump the shark.

This has been done already:

"It's About Time" was a really horrible sitcom that ran 1966-1967. Two astronauts travel back in time. Meet cavemen. Cavemen travel back with astronauts to 20th century. Hilarious hijinks ensue.

I like the Geico commercials - the gecko is priceless, and the cave men are, too.

Everytime I see those commercials, I think, what would the reaction be, if rather than “so simple a caveman could do it,” the line was “so simple a (any ethnic group) could do it.” That’d be the last you’d ever see that commercial.

I guess they’ll call it:

A half hour GEICO commercial with commercial breaks for what? More GEICO commercials?

Yuck.
