Geez, I know I’ve been sporadic lately! Blame it on house hunting and all the stresses associated with that. I’m really trying to get back to normal. We’ll see.

In the meantime, what about those Geico cavemen huh? They’re getting their own sitcom on ABC.

I hate the Geico gecko with his smarmy Cockney accent, but man, those cavemen just tickle my funny bone. I love them. Apparently I’m not the only one. Author Ron Rosenbaum performs a bit of literary criticism on the commercials here. I love his analysis of the mango salsa remark, and agree about the therapist commercial (though did you know that the actress is Talia Shire of Rocky fame? I didn’t).

Which commerical is your favorite? I love the mango salsa commercial, but I think the airport is the best. I love the yuppie caveman, the racket instead of a club, the song, and the way the commercial works without a word being spoken.

*grunt*

Yep, that’s gotta be my favorite, too. My second favorite is one of the new ones, where one of the cavemen actually buys Geico insurance for his car, and finds there are implications for his social life.

I like the airport one as well. And I’m reminded of the one commercial that I hated….the singing rodents for Quizno’s Sub. I haven’t had the heart to eat there since. Whose idea was it to have rodents pitching for a food establishment…makes my stomach turn.

LOL! I suppose they’re mildly entertaining. My DH laughs his ass off every time he sees them. Me – not so much.
