I'm glad Rak is getting some endorsements, but that commercial is crap

Caveman in cheer outfit....ya don't like...??? It's funny to me.

Haha well I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't know, I just think the whole HEY YOU'RE BRIAN ORAKPO BLAH BLAH like nobody knows who he is (I'm sure a lot of people don't know who he is) is kind of annoying. The caveman in a cheerleader outfit is odd. To each his own

I wonder if the reason they didn't show any gold is because of Snyder.

It makes some sense, in that GEICO is a DC based corporation... why wouldn't they see him as a national sports figure... though, frankly, I think it's not their best effort. It seems like they stumbled onto an endorsement deal with Orakpo, then said... "hey... anybody know what we can do with this guy?" I didn't much care for it.

I actually feel the same way, it looks like they did one cut and bam, commercial.

And low production value. I'm guessing GEICO made it only for the DC market, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a bunch of others in other markets. ("HEY YOU'RE VERNON DAVIS!")

I've seen it a few times on National feeds... I'm like... whatever...

I see the commercial in Texas too btw...

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:05 am**

The spot was produced by DCP Productions in Baltimore for The Martin Agency in Richmond (who does all of GEICO's ad work). GEICO is headquartered in Stafford, Va. They usually have two or three campaigns going at once (caveman + gecko, gecko + googly-eyed money, etc.). This spot is part of a campaign that takes the form of "You know what else is _____?" that's generally pretty low-fi looking. There's one with a fisherman and a mermaid that's even more lame than this one.

You can see DCP's work here: http://www.dcpproductions.net/work/. There's a lot of GEICO stuff. If you look on Martin's website, you'll recognize most if not all of the work: http://www.martinagency.com/ (I have to say, the Discover Card Peggy spots are some of my favorites).

Wow. I'm surprised QA let something like that get through.

Me too. But that doesn't mean the commercial is any less lame.

No? I kinda dig her. . . HUMOR. I kind of dig her humor. I chuckle at her commercials. Moreso than the caveman campaign, at this point.

Really, because I've always hated her. Not as much as Jared from subway though. He was the worst.

You and I are in agreement on Jared from Subway. Always thought the Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy was like his first cousin. Also rounding out my top 5 or so all time hate list: the FreeCreditReport.Com band, the ShamWow guy, the Real Men of Genius, Stephen L. Miles and the E-Trade Baby.

The FreeCreditReport.com (now FreeCreditScore.com) ads are by the same ad agency as the Caveman ones...

Yeah but with the Sports Package on Directv....we get to see all of Comcast broadcasts. We see it here on the left coast.
