Buzz on that Geico cavemen show not too good

by Bob Sassone, posted May 4th 2007 7:31PM

Geico cavemanA lot of people said "huh?" when it was announced that ABC had ordered a pilot for a new series based on the Geico commercials featuring cavemen, and now it looks like those people may have been on to something.

Early word on the show is that it's "astoundingly awful," "without a laugh in sight," "jaw-droppingly horrendous," and makes American Dad look sophisticated. But I wonder how these people who saw the pilot really feel. The reviews come from someone at Ain't It Cool News.

The part that upsets me the most? The actors from the commercials aren't even in the show! So...what the hell?

Ten best ads with people dressed as food - VIDEOS

by Joel Keller, posted Feb 28th 2007 12:22PM
Holiday Inn Express Cinnamon BunNow I know why I stopped writing for our defunct sister blog, AdJab: I just didn't have the capacity to come up with pages like this one, from AdFreak. On this page, Tim Nudd comes up with his top ten ads that contain people dressed as food.

Thaat's right, kids. Someone took the time to a) think of coming up with a list of ads dressed as food, and b) take the time to find videos of the ads on YouTube (and in one, case, iFilm). Anyway, the usual suspects are on the list: the Whopper and Whopper Jr., Snapple Fruit, and that gross-looking Domino's Fudgem. My favorite two videos, though, are the two-minute long music video with the venerable Fruit of the Loom guys (it looks no different than a Coldplay video), and the cutsey "Hot Dog meets Pepsi" ad from a few years back. I like that one because the girl in the hot dog suit is pretty damned adorable. Those videos are after the jump.
