Just when you thought the Geico Cavemen had run their course and should be put down they come back with a commercial that is reminiscent of the ads they starred in when they first made their appearance on the national scene years ago. The ads then were witty and down right humorous. Lately the Geico cavemen ads have been about as bad as the ill fated Cavemen TV series that the networks tried to stuff down our throats a couple of years ago. Which at this time whose episodes Mr. Mind, Dick Jauron ex coach of the Buffalo Bills, is being forced to watch while in captivity for coaching below and under the call of duty. It may be cruel and unusual punishment but the man most certainly deserves it.
The ad that brought the cavemen back to respectability is the one that stars the co-captains of the crab fishing vessel Time Bandit, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand of 'Deadliest Catch' fame. It features them waiting for a newly hired crewman when a caveman shows up, asks for a steward to come fetch his luggage and then heads off for a cappuccino. The looks on the faces of the Hillstrands is priceless as they ponder their new crewman. This ad is far and above anything Geico has put out recently. I even think it is time that the gecko be put to sleep because he has become totally moronic. But if the cavemen can start coming back with more ads like that one maybe, just maybe, they can become relevant again. While waiting to see I will be having the roast duck with the mango salsa for dinner in their honor.
And yes, your King is definitely stretching for material at this time. Its a lame Sunday night with absolutely nothing on the boob tube. It is so bad I am forced to watch soccer on the Spanish network. When I hear the commentator raise his voice I turn and watch. It is 0-0 nearing halftime and the commentator has only raised his voice once so you know that this game must be 'really' exciting. I could write about yesterdays golf but I bore my loyal readers enough with that BS. Have a nice evening.
