The music is perfect, the timing is brilliant, and that caveman actor gets more emotion through nine pounds of makeup on his face than most television dramas can manage in a season.
The thing that makes the whole campaign work for me is the fact that the caveman are all liberals. They're bitchy and pissed off and hypersensitive and surly and self-important and dumb. They're perfect.
"I'll have the duck with the peach mango salsa."
"Nothing for me, thanks. I'm not hungry."
His whole personality just screams "Gore really won!"
I like the one where the caveman is with the therapist and his cell phone rings. He says "it's my mother, I'll put it on speaker".
I thought they were gay.
I can't stand the guy but the egocentric, metrosexual does work.
So, in that vein, how about the one where he wants to put his mother on speaker phone?
It's the best commercial in years. A sitcom has potential if the writers don't go over the top.
What I want to know is "Are the cavemen going on the Extreme Makeover show next" I think that would be the
neatest makeover and I am dying to meet Mommie
But it's odd, everybody seems to read different emotions in that last facial expression right after he backs up & scrutinizes the ad on the people mover.
Most folks I've watched it with think he's disgusted that cavemen are being exploited, or he's just disappointed his friend had sold out, whatever.
I happen to detect a little flicker of bemusement, maybe the glint of a prideful ego, i.e., perhaps he's actually starting to get off on the fame & attention.
It's odd, but his expression In that final millisecond of the spotseems to serve as a kind of rorschach test for people.
Psychiatrist: Who's that on the phone?
Caveman: It's my mother. I'll put in on speaker.
So THAT'S why I hate those commercials!!! I want to throw something at the TV and change the channel at the same time whenever those hairy creeps come on.
The geko is a little irritating, but Hairy and Dragin Knuckles...Grrrrrrrrrr!
Just when we thought we had the gate locked tight, these jerks learn how to climb.
By God, you're right. Brilliant observation.
"The thing that makes the whole campaign work for me is the fact that the caveman are all liberals. They're bitchy and pissed off and hypersensitive and surly and self-important and dumb."
And surely they're people who appreciate global warming.

I am so totally with you. LOL!
