- Go to Gay Cavemen & Screaming Salesmen?? What The F&*$???
Ya know, Taps,
When I still lived in Chicago, I actually cancelled my long distance phone company (AT&T) cause they had the LONGEST commercials. They were like mini-infomercials, I swear! And DUMB, too! When they called me to find out why I was cancelling, I told them the truth, of course.

Spitfire, I agree with all your comments on TV commercials, LOL. I always mute when it is commercial time and close my eyes and count to 180. Aren't commercials supposed to be over by then? Some of them seem to last much longer.

Smartdawggie,
Don't go wasting your time researching that one! You're the kind of person who would just to know. You're too smart in general. Leave
something a mystery in that big brain of yours!

Good to hear from ya, Alf!
I don't know why they're all Australian. I like Australians but them? No thanks. I just wish they'd stop yelling at me. Oh, but wait, I don't think that one guy Billy Whateverthehellhisnameis guy is Aussie. I think he's American. Not sure. They all just need to go away. Leave the products, though, cuz they are actually pretty good! Am I asking too much?

mikea18, I must agree with you on that one!
Man, that commercial is SO annoying. I actually read or saw (bad memory) something about that and how and why the advertisement was created that way. It's supposedly the marketing strategy along the same lines as singing the phone number in a jingle so people would remember it. I think they did the opposite. I just want to forget Head On. I'd like to apply something to the heads of the ad creators, though.

I'm not familiar with the gay caveman. As for the question of whether or not their actually were gay cavemen, I'm not exactly sure where I would begin to validate that one.
Be well,

Hey Spitfire...
I feel you on this, really. I hate stupid commercials I really, really do. But of all the stupid commercials on the air now I don't mind Geico that much. I guess to me, gay cavemen are funny. I am SO with you on the Oxi-clean though...and why are all those guys Australian??

It's the Head On commercial that I hate
Apply directly to the head. That is all they say over and over.
They don't tell you why you want to apply it directly to your head either. I will take the gecko anyday.

Jems,
You don't think they're gay? Just look at how that one acts when out to dinner with the commercial actor. One orders the roast duck and the other states he's not hungry. He's really pissy.

Saul, good concepts there!
They're all dirty and icky looking, too. Most gays are clean cut and cute. Oh, but that little gecko...I want to squash him. But actually, it's an Australian accent he tries to pull off.

Mason, well, originally
they were working on the set of the Geico commercial when the actor insulted them about it being so easy (to get insurance) even a caveman can do it. It was all downhill from there!

As for mark2556's photo, I have something to say about the gayness in
commercials. Try
this post from June of last year.

I was going to comment what SuccessWarrior commented, but I don't wish
to be redundant, so I'll just add that I bet the caves were decorated with strategically placed light-colored hides and rocks to reduce the shadows so as to give the impression that there was more light. And then they discovered the ability to make fire...
Anyway, I hate that gecko. He was cooler when he didn't talk. Not only is he creepy, but his English accent is a bit hard to follow at times. Why an accent anyway?
And those obnoxious morons screaming? Makes me want to mute them or turn the channel, not buy the product.

I hate those, Young Miss!
Death to all stoopid commercials.
Actually, I don't know how many gay cavemen were around back then, but if you've ever seen that documentary, "Deliverance," then you know the species has survived to this day -- not that there's anything wrong with that!

I don't watch television. I'm out of the loop. Although I am aware of the
hollering Oxi-clean guy and the geiko-gecko, I am not plagued by their insanity. [AND I'd just like to take this time to say that Oxi-clean takes out anything, and I love it so much that if I saw that loud guy I'd give him a hug.
Well, maybe I'd shake his hand.] That's a benefit of not viewing tv. I couldn't take all the noise. I can't stand the plastic people either. That's all that damn box shows....many forms of fakeness.

That is too funny. I was wondering last night why that Billy guy was always forcefully yelling. I guess he gets a lot of business from the elderly.

And to think I was over here worrying about you...
Like, maybe you were stressed out or something. Hmmm...
I love that little gecko, sorry, but if I ever see that oxy-clean guy in person I'm going to sock him and tell him to see if that stuff gets out blood. Man, my cats leave the room during that commercial! Geico's advertising must be working, they just had you do free advertising about them. :) Thinking about you and Ma... xoxo... oh, my Mom wanted to send prayers, too. I keep forgetting to tell you that so I better put it here while I remember... you know how it is. And she was honored you thought of her... about the stuff... she said whatever you want to give her she'll take, and you can always have it back. But remind me to tell you about my painting, some things never change. Anyway, maybe you should invest in TIVO and you could skip commercials? It would be beneficial to your emotional well being (although not as good for your blog). Smoochies.
