Wow Tommy that was an UNUSUALLY boring post, much more boring than
even your usual drone, more boring than even my own incredibly boring
****, in fact it was SO boring that my eyes so totally glazed over
just from looking at it that I fell into a deep hypnotic state and
dreamed I was being arrested at Winchells Donuts for lewd bakery ...
but then Tommy you pulled an amazing hat-trick and magically saved it
all when you innocently used the word "facial" in the 1st sentence of
the 2nd paragraph giving me the benefit of a huge instant
unintentional boner, thanks dude.


I know my post was boring, as is generally the case when I'm
actually trying to make a point. I'm not a huge fan of commercials.
I don't sit around watching and comparing them. I also never thought
the geicko caveman commercials were funny, although I was mildly
intrigued by the hook, and did in fact spend some time analyzing it
even before it appeared in this thread. My post was not written in a
very enjoyable or interesting way, but I still say the King from the
Burger King commercials and the cavemen from the geicko commercials
are operating on the same premise, being out of their element. The BK
commercials with the King are creepy, no doubt, but I could see a
series of very short films - (1 to 2 minutes per film) - using the
King as the star in all sorts of situations. I like that he doesn't
talk. They've got those cavemen talking too much. It reminds me of
those horrible outerspace tv shows where the makeup is so heavy and
unmanageable that the character's lips can't even move. And people go
for that ****. It's incredible. I just read from someone else in
this thread some crap about making a pilot using the cavemen from the
geicko commercials. I think that would get old really fast. But what
do I know? I remember the first time I saw Starsky and Hutch I said,
"This piece of **** won't last a two months", but it enjoyed immense
popularity. I'm the last guy to ask what's going to make it or not in
the world of entertainment. Then again, I'm not really interested in
what makes it or doesn't make it.
