People love the Geico Cavemen. The commercials were fun and quirky and always featured good music.
Their popularity parlayed itself into the creation of a great marketing site ( http://cavemanscrib.com ) where you can tour the Caveman’s home (as well as flip through his photo album, watch the videos on his cell phone and many other easter eggs). It’s a great place to waste some time if you’re bored!
But like all good things, it appeared that people were getting a little sick of the Cavemen and gravitating to the cute lil gecko instead (did you see the picture of the gecko pinned on the dart board in the Party Out of Bounds section?).
Despite the failed attempt at their own tv show “Caveman’s Cribs” (which aired on ABC last fall to dismal reviews and viewers), the Geico Cavemen have recently made a fierce comeback in a new commercial for Geico’s motorcycle insurance.

I saw this for the first time the other night. Pretty good.

I love the idea, but I think the commercial could be better. Maybe there will be a series where they can do more biker commercials.

What I think is a little weird about the commercial is that they’re decked out in leather gear that someone riding a sport bike would wear, yet they’re riding HDs…
