The GEICO Caveman is Back – The Commercial and More!

No one:

Everyone: We want the caveman back.

GEICO: We got you.

The commercial I didn’t know I needed to wrap 2023 up comes from GEICO and it’s 2 minutes you must watch. Remember Caveman from back in the day? He’s come out of hiding and GEICO hints there’s more to come…

Credits. Jeff Daniel Phillips as Caveman. Annie Sertich as Tina. Andrew Anthony as VoiceOver. Original Score by We Are Walker. A note from Jeff’s website: Jeff originated the Geico Caveman character and was spokesman for eight years. During the popular, award-winning campaign he appeared in commercials, print, their website and in the ABC sitcom titled Cavemen.

I needed to refresh my memory so if you also want to watch a few, check out a handful of hilarious commercials from the mid-2000s.

The next water bottle brand trend?

There was Yeti. Also Hydro Flask. Somehow Stanley caught on. I just heard from one of my nieces there was a Gatorade squirt bottle in there somewhere between Hydro Flask and Stanley. As a 44-year-old man, I will never claim to know what’s popular with the yutes…

Another niece of mine had another brand of water bottle on her Christmas list. And this was a powerpoint presentation so she clearly spent time on the gifts that she really wanted. On this list was a brand I’ve seen around but never thought twice about it. Have you heard of Owala? I checked out their bottles at Walmart and the liquid delivery system, if I can call it that, is pretty unique. It’s almost like a multistep process to reveal the little spout thing. I guess that’s the wrinkle they’ve introduced to stand out from the Yetis, Stanleys, and Hydro Flasks.

But what I really want to know is which brand is next. It’s already too late to buy Owala stock. So it could be Ozark Trail, Nalgene, Camelback.

Yeti in the OREO Commercial

It’s nearly Christmas and the holiday commercials are still coming on strong! Some feature holiday themes very obviously (family togetherness, etc) like this Publix commercial and then some include different elements of winter. Recently I saw this OREO commercial on TV featuring Santa, a Yeti, and OREO cookies. Take a look…

I don’t think the commercial makes much sense which would be fine if it was cute or funny. The Yeti rushes over with OREO cookies for Santa, which is the final piece of Santa’s preparation for Christmas. The Yeti reminded me of another commercial featuring the furry monster. It’s from Amazon last year. Remember this one?

Which commercial do you like better? Either way, it’s cold outside and Christmas is right around the corner!

That time I body slammed a former First Lady

In my defense, she had already tried to body slam me three times. I guess I should blame dreams like this on my childhood. Isn’t that what we do as adults? I watched WWF before it was WCW or WWE and the most ultimate power move was the body slam. Second most was the suplex. Or maybe it was the long top rope jump from Superfly Snuka? Or Jake the Snake gently laying the python across his defeated opponent?

I have no idea why I dreamed this bizarre dream about body slamming a former First Lady. But boy was I in trouble afterwards! She laid on the ground, a group of concerned people gathering around her to help her recover. I knew there would be grave consequences for me, but eventually I was able to kneel with her and genuinely apologize. I remember her forgiving me for delivering such an epic wrestling move (if I may say so myself) and then the dream ended.

Weird, huh? I thought I would’ve skipped the body slam and went straight to the clothesline.
