GEICO Caveman Commercials
I’m not fortunate enough to own a TiVO so I can fast forward past the commercials. Needless to say, I’m forced to watch a lot of crap. Hopefully my days of watching commercials will soon come to an end because I’ve been enlightened by Fred’s MythTV article.
Back to the topic- a lot of commercials suck and they suck badly. However, the one set of commercials I can’t seem to get enough of are the GEICO caveman commercials. You know, the commercials where GEICO ends the tv spot with their slogan, “It’s so easy, a caveman could do it.” The premise of the commercial is that getting a quote from GEICO.com is so easy that even a caveman can do it and all the while insulting several cavemen who not only still exist in modern society, but also live as intelligent beings.
Here’s a look at some of the funnier GEICO commercials I’ve seen.
Geico Commercial #1 & #2
The first in the caveman commercial series is this one where a GEICO.com commercial is being filmed and as the slogan is introduced, the boom operator turns out to be a caveman who stops the filming and yells “not cool!”
Two cavemen watch the same ad from their apartment and take offense to the commercial.
Geico Commercial #3
A GEICO spokesman meets with two cavemen at a restaurant to apologize for the promotion, explaining that he had no idea “you guys were still around” to be met with the response, “yeah, next time, maybe do a little more research.”
Geico Commercial #4
A caveman on a moving sidewalk at an airport sees a GEICO billboard featuring a caveman in all its stereotypical glory. The song featured in the commercial is Remind Me
Geico Commercial #5
A caveman is having a session with a therapist.
Geico Commercial #6
A caveman debates a talk-show host about the offensiveness of the GEICO commercials.
Geico Commercial #7
The cavemen watch a tv ad of the Caveman (TV Series).
Geico Commercial #8
A caveman is dancing and says, “GEICO probably thinks this is easy, too!”
Geico Commercial #9
A caveman is playing a tennis match against Billie Jean King.
Geico Commercial #10
A caveman and his girlfriend head to the beach to relax- only to be disturbed by a GEICO banner.
Geico Commercial #11
Two cavemen ride up to an outdoor bar on their motorcycles but see a GEICO billboard with a caveman on a motorcycle advertising GEICO’s motorcycle insurance. The song in the background is Hurt You
Geico Commercial #12
A caveman is at a basketball game where he is shown as the Ultimate Fan on a GEICO jumbotron.
Geico Commercial #13
Lastly, a caveman and his girlfriend are at the beach and using a metal detector to look for some left-behind goodies. Guess what they find?
If you think I left any good commercials out, let me know!
I wonder who at Gieco thinks ANY of the commercials are funny. The last thing they do is make me think of insurance …. The Cavemen are horrible …. what is the point to do this over and over? …. and the lady looking at the money with eyes? This is almost wordless to describe ….
I agree, the new Geico commercial with the eyes on the money is stupid. Everytime it comes on I switch the station. They really know how to irk you! I may have purcahsed insurance from Geico before, but not now. If they think that commercial is going to bring them customers, they better think again.
Here’s a clue for you: the commercials are incredibly successful, that’s why there are so many of them (duh). No insurance company commercial is designed to try to find you by listing boring facts, they try to get their name out there, and yes, it could save you 15% or more on car insurance. See? The commercials work.
