So Easy To Believe, Even A Caveman Knows

Actor Nick Kroll (described as character name Nick Hedge in the video) came on The View to promote ABC's new sitcom "Caveman" and couldn't resist a couple of digs at the anti-science statements of co-host Sherri Shepherd.

LOL... that was great! :lol:
If you hadn't reminded me of Shepard's comments, his jokes might have sliped past my radar. :)

LOL!
I hope reich-wingers throw a hissy fit over ABC for promoting a "pro-evolution" sitcom.
ABC shills its stupid show based on one of the dumbest commercials ever. Insulting the pinheads from The View is too easy to bother with posting special clips.
"Ha ha ha ha ... Yeah, I don't 'believe in' evolution and that's FUNNY not disturbing. And that flat Earth thing - nah, that doesn't make me an ignorant fool."
I only watched this so I could see people laughing at the stupid and there is a whole lot of it in that clip.
>one of the dumbest commercials ever
Some of them aren't great, but the first one where they're ordering dinner was. I hope the show is more of that kind of humor than the predictable fish-out-of-water humor that I fear it will be.
>Insulting the pinheads from The View is too easy
Easy but necessary. Just like Colbert at the correspondents dinner. The content was obvious, but it still took guts to do it right to their faces.
I prefer the limey gecko.
And why doesn't Little Richards get his own show? Oooooooo!
Would this explains shrubya's votes, and even his face?
Dumbest commercials?
No way. Those are the cleverest and probably most successful and funny ads to come along in a long time...and I know my commercials.
Playfully ribbing Sherri Shepherd may been the wiser move, but I'd have been much less tolerant of and polite to her.
She's so stupid, even a caveman looks intelligent.
just showing the dummys the lighterside of ignorence!!!
Pretty funny! I LOVE those GEICO
...commercials, and I'm planning to watch the show tonight.
I admire his style...not TOO in-your-face, sort of gentlemanly and funny, yet he points out pretty effectively how ridiculous these women are.
That was funny......but I'll give the show three, maybe four episodes before it's yanked.
Nice!
OriginalCynic @ 15:
You're generous. I'm guessing it will be pulled after the first show.
You may be right, Doctor.
Maybe they can get Heather Graham to guest star.
Dump the gecko, love the cavemen. Those commercials are brilliant.
But yeah, I don't know if they can successfully make it into a sitcom.
Advertisement becomes TV show. TV advertisement "show" is featured on tv show in what is really an advertisement for that network's tv show advertisement. People seeing this advertisement for an advertisement for an advertisement discuss which advertisements are "good," and express hopes that the "show" is as good content-wise as the advertisement. All of this following the mandate to use the public airwaves "in the public interest."
Thank you for reminding me why I don't own a TV.
I can't believe you didn't like those commercials. I personally thought that in a world of over-dramatized tylenol and e.d. pill commercials, the GEICO spots were a breath of fresh, artistic air. Aside from that, this cat was pretty funny with his snarky commentary
Craig @ 20:
Caveman: Yeah, I have a response.........uh, WHAT??
Craig @ 20:
I was going to say the same thing. A TV show based on an insurance commercial. Oy. And to think I couldn't even get my show on access cable. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Let us thank Bob they don't have a TV show based on those butt ugly idiots in the Sonic commercials that blather on about the food.
Funny thing is you never actually see them eat any.
I always wanted to see a sitcom about a family of crash test dummies.
Let's give this little guy his own TV show.
I always see him as an out of work actor living in LA with a sexy blond girlfriend named Debbie.

Sheri Shepard for president. Black, a woman and dumb as W.
I used to work for a neanderthal in my college days. He was a lovely guy with a master's in chemistry (back in the 60's when the degree meant much more). The spitting image of the diorama caveman. The cavemen are indeed out there, and walk among us.
VJB @ 27:
Yeah, our ancestors the Homo Sapien ate them.
But no Homo Erectus exist anymore thanks to the Moral Majority.
How about giving this little guy his own TV show?

All criticism aside, I really had no idea Neil Diamond was a caveman..... the things you learn on daytime TV!
Bill the thinker... @ 29:
Obviously you never saw him live in concert.
The first time I've ever seen a TV commercial jump the shark.
ysbaddaden @ 25:
Didn't they do one in the late 80's? I seem to remember those crash test dummies from the seat belt commercials having their own show. Maybe I'm getting them confused with Max Headroom though... I too haven't owned a TV since the 90's. This caveman thing is a perfect reminder as to why. It's a viral plague of capitalist brainwashing and apathetic apeasement. Now I'm going to continue mindlessly surfing the net for quick soundbites to fill my vacant head with.

The first time? Are you sure?
Wassaaap!
I always wanted to see a TV show with this little guy here.
I see him as an out of work actor in LA living with his sexy, hot, blond girlfriend named Debbie.

Dick Cheney @ 31:
Yeah. I give that show 6 airings ... mainly because I doubt the writing will be half as good as the ribbing he gave there. To the dingbat's credit she took it well and seemed to genuinely laugh.
As an African-American, I'd like to know where does the MSM keep finding "house negroes" like Sherri Shepard, Steven A. Smith, Juan and Armstrong Williams and Jason Whitlock.
Just when Clarence starts kicking up his "woe is me, a House Negro" theme song, along come these Mammies, Aunt Jemimas and Stepin Fetchits.
Martin Luther King didn't catch that bullet so we could continue to "coon", because "cooning" is not the content of our character, and I wish these SOBs would realize that Character does not have a price, but selling it away to be a paid sellout is.
Another Scott @ 33:
Excellent example. Same goes for the Bud frogs...or pretty much any other Bud ad in the Super Bowl era.
Dammit I think I need to change my username name now. For the record my username is borrowed from the old hilarious SNL skit done by Phil Hartman.
I love you, man!
Since there is no such anthropological classification as caveman I suppose the only qualification for being one is that you are male and you live in a cave. I imagine there are still many cavemen around somewhere today. In the case of a woman who lives in a cave, I'm not sure if cavewoman or caveperson is appropriate.
Granted, the show "evolved" from a commercial (which is a statement on western culture as it is), but why is a Caveman show 'stupid' whereas The Munsters, The Adams Family and Gilligan's Island are classics? The fact that it's even gotten past the pilot is an achievement these days. I hope the show takes.
I remember watching a rerun of the old Munster's pilot. They even had a conversation where a neighbor women was saying to a postman, "We don't want their sort in our neighborhood."
Rollo Tomassi @ 42:
It's been done. I guess I'm the only one old enough here to remember "It's about Time" 1966 starring Imogene Coca.
classic segment against the rapture bunny
Good on you, Nick. Everyone, everywhere has to keep pointing out the sheer stupidity of the faith-based, creationist, flat-earth religious wackos.
With people like sherri around, no wonder "our childs isn't learning"!
I'm sure Sherri is a very nice person, but Whoopi already proved she has the intelligence of a gnat.
Carmikl @ 44:
As brought to you by our sponsors Coca Cola.
Um ... do they have Neil Diamond's permission to call him a "caveman" on a real television program?
Hey, at least Sherri has a sense of humor and can laugh at herself...
...Elisabeth, on the other hand....
Slaw @ 40:
In that case, Spuds McKenzie should be brought out of retirement and given a spot next to the fake Abe Lincoln and the talking groundhog in those sleep aid commercials.
Hilarious!
it's so easy a caveman should watch it.
Why even bother posting this? Is this groundbreaking news? Do you have to be a spokesman for Geico. Go car insurance. I get enough of this shit walking down the street.
yes, tv shows made from auto insurance commercials.
they should start by making fun of themselves for shilling this shit.
This fits right in with the purchase of clothing with business logos imprinted. Why would you feel good about giving free advertising space to some corporation? When I was young, companies gave away the teeshirts and baseball caps with their insignias. Pay for them? Not on your life.
