I like them. I find them amusing. I especially like the airport one. The expression on his face is hilarious!

i believe the first one (at least that i saw) was when they were 'filming' a commercial and the boom operator got insulted, threw it down, rolled his eyes and walked off the set LOL

Especially the interview, when he leans back in the chair.

...IIRC, the airport & restaurant are the oldest??? ....

+1 on the facial expressions.

The filming scene where "it's so easy a caveman could do it" originated from and where the crew (caveman) guys gets upset about it is the first one.

I think the SNL skit Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer is pretty funny too - "your complex world frightens and confuses me..." and then launches into some lawyer-speak.

Good times ...

The best one of all is the one with the squirrels - that's a commercial Hitchcock could have made.

Payback, this time it's for real.

i think the commercials are fantastic. cantdrv55, one word: irony.

caveman is supposed to be an idiot, but he has a cell phone...come on! you can cut the irony with a knife. (but all you have are 10,000 spoons)

my favorite is the news show, where the caveman is says" .....created fire....invented the wheel....sorry we didnt get that to you sooner...." effen great.

He sees a caveman poster in the airport and stares at it and shakes his head. All the while, there is music in the background: "Any place I go/ There's always something to remind me/ Of another place in time..."
That's my favorite too, but I like them all.

I can't believe nobody noticed the they are ghey....Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Oh snap..... I misspelled gay, spank me with a wooden spoon.

The airport's my favorite, too - filmed at LAX it looks. The interview is my next favorite.

Hey, anyone know what song the lyrics are from during the airport commercial?

"Any place I go/ There's always something to remind me/ Of another place in time..."

The caveman is in psychoanalysis. The mother bit is a reference to the theory that many of one's problems go back to the mother (Freud).

I laugh every damn time I see one of those commercials. Yes it's stupid, but that's why it's so funny. The cave man is so California. It's a funny contradiction. Plus the actors delivery is spot on. I think if someone else did it, it wouldn't come off so well.

"Sorry we couldn't get that to you sooner."

:D

The caveman has a chippy attitude because he looks different from everybody else, and thinks they think he's inferior. Except, of course, he's very smart. Like that little Geiko character with the cockney accent.

They beat the beer commercials. Anything beats the beer commercials.

trekkor 02-07-2007 06:58 PM

If they had a movie with these cavemen characters, Id watch.

I think they are pretty funny.

I also find myself humming that airport music now and then...

"Remind me"

You think you're detached, I had no idea these cavemen even existed.
