The Prof and Ricci are at it again, commenting on popular culture. This time.. it's the Geico Cavemen tv show. Prof. says it's a hit. Ricci says it's a bust.. time will tell.
RICCI:
GOTTA MAKE MY SHOW.. this is STUPID.
Those cavemen are ONLY famous and funny because they are upset about being considered STUPID by GEICO.
WHat are they gonna do revolve a whole series on the cavemen being considered the butt of stupid jokes.
What makes me feverish is somewhere there is a group of 30somethings who have made over a million bucks together.. and they all really dont have to ever work again over something as idiotic as saying "SO EASY EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT"..
HOW ABOUT "SO EASY EVEN STEVIE WONDER CAN DO IT" -nikon camera comercial -Sat.Nite.Live.
THE PROF:
but the premise is FUNNY. Stevie wonder's nikon skit was FUNNY. it takes "talent" to be FUNNY.
RICCI:
funny for a minute...
But funny for a season takes SERIOUS talent and these cavemen aint gonna be funny for one whole show. Honestly, I only find the AIRPORT and RESTAURANT cavemen ads funny, the rest are sort of dull.
of course the very first one was GREAT.
I just cant imagine someone greenlighting this for a television show.. meaning someone already cashed their 'tv show' check, and now they, The Network, has to hire people to really make a good show.
I smell flop.
[the premise of the commercial is only funny because of that one caveman who is really good at facial expressions (airport dude, restaurant dude, shrinks office dude), otherwise, they could have used cartoons]
These commercials fall flat on their face without the first 30 seconds of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5JV0Fs_GE8 -which were the first ones and were done with such fun and 'shock' that they were funny, because who would be expecting for dude to look over and see a caveman, and then, no less, saying 'I forgot you were there' - its almost racist.
THE PROF:
Mannnn..... "looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock.." dude's reaction IS HILARIOUS!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL i never saw that one!!! I'm sorry dawg..those commercials are really funny.
I actually smell a HIT.
You wanna make a gentleman's bet on this?
RICCI:
On the TV show..
You are out of your mind. What are they gonna do, give me 30 minutes of caveman angry about geico for 6 shows?
Like I said, the first 1-3 were funny, then it became tired. There aren't many 'funny' things I can watch over and over.. perhaps one of the greatest from the last two years was Clayton Bixby [Dave Chappell]. I can watch that over and over and still find it hilarious..same with the Prince sketch [Dave Chappell] and one of the hook-up histories [Dave Chappell].
THE PROF:
Ok, we have a BET.
The caveman show will last 3 seasons AT LEAST. if it is a flop it, wont last 2 seasons.
3 seasons, and I win.
RICCI:
I'll be SHOCKED if it makes it through a pilot.
SHOCKED...
I'm failing to see even a remote premise in what they plan on doing... and they have to be VERY VERY careful regarding their issues because 'rights groups' will be watching them closely for RACIST issues as well as issues that could be from religious, homosexual, or women's rights issues.
The essential 'core' of their concept is being somewhat more capable/smarter than what people think. Thats not exactly a 'joke' set-up that lasts very long.
But I'm down,
ITS ON!
the serving is OVER.
The caveman thing hasnt made me laugh since before the Airport ad, and that only made me go out and find the song [Royksops "Remind Me"].
Sure we can gentleman's bet on this... Cuz when I lose, I'll also tell you to pull the trigger because I'd prefer not to live around people who could support a show with men dressed up as cavemen being upset about people not considering cavemen to be 'smart'.
Which is funny because I'm the one who screams WE are all still IN THE CAVE because I find people, in general to be stupid... vis a vi, cavemen are stupid, because we are still in the cave in the first place.
"Connielingus Rice, sounds like a mexican dish. Why dont we just put her on a plate and send her down to Mexico.
uhwhite power" -Clayton Bixby [Dave Chappell]
THE PROF:
did I just get served..??!! cause if I did...IT'S AAWWN! serving aint over...cause it's AAWWNN.
RICCI:
ITS AWWWNN
EETTSS AWWWNNN!
"a sitcom pilot centering on the awkward lives of the out-of-time characters, who will live in Atlanta and date beautiful women."
Yeah, thats gonna play out great. I actually hope it does make it to TV beacuse I just want to see how/what they plan on giving these dudes to do.. I can already feel my neck tightening as the laugh track plays after another really bad exchange. This is in ABC's hands... yikes.
