Who hates the new Caveman Geico ads? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Penny Lane · 10-17-2008, 03:26 PM

The ads used to be funny until they got that new guy. Not funny at all!

TripperFan · 10-17-2008, 04:19 PM

I agree. When they first came out I thought they were funny, but it was stretching it trying to put them in a sitcom. Now it's just "dead". Drop 'em and find something else.

(I'd rather see them used for a bikini wax product or something like that now instead).

i never cared for them but am sick and tired of the whole drawn out campaign. The tv show was just overkill.

dawsongirl · 10-17-2008, 05:32 PM

They were never funny to begin with.

The gecko is a lot better.

JulieSomoski · 10-17-2008, 06:48 PM

These have got to be the worst ads I've ever seen from Geico. All they have is a caveman dancing around the screen for a minute - nothing else. Is that stupidity or what? I don't even know how they manage to sell insurance. I don't even think half the country knows what Geico sells

I hate those cavemen ads... all of them. The only commercial I really like is the one where the Gecko is talking to the sea otter. I love that one, actually since I am a huge sea otter lover!

I've never liked any of the Geico ads. IMO they are so tired!

PunkyP0WER · 10-18-2008, 10:33 AM

i like the allstate ads especially that very dramatic one where they show a bride and groom at the altar with a priest standing in between them and then it flashes to the same priest standing in a front of a casket. And then they show a mailman putting mail into an apartment buildings p.o. boxes and then it flashes to a guy in a ski mask hitting the boxes with a crowbar. Its very gloomy but it gets its point across.

I hate the caveman ads, the swifter ads are the best.

BTO · 10-18-2008, 12:16 PM

I like the old caveman ads, but i don't care for the new ones.

JulieSomoski · 10-18-2008, 07:07 PM

The gecko ads were okay - and they actually mentioned that they were selling something in them

They should bring those back immediately - those new cavemen ads are just down right embarassing!

TJL · 10-18-2008, 09:04 PM

They should have put the cavemen out to pasture after their sitcom bombed.

You've got that right! Obviously even if people liked the cavemen crap, they didn't like them enough to watch a whole half hour of it!

I really thought they would have - I did see some of the gecko ads return for awhile, but now it seems they've gone back to the cavemen

I always hated them
