Weird Fact: The Geico Caveman commercial 'characters' ended up in their own TV series called Cavemen. It only lasted one season.

It was super racist and Nick Kroll was in it

Wasn't that, like, the whole premise? That in a world where "cavemen" (apparently neanderthals?) exist alongside humans as we know them into the present day, "It's so easy, a caveman could do it" becomes racist abuse?

I guess the best you could do with that premise are a series of Very Special Episodes, but I bet that's not what happened. I didn't watch the show, like most people I was like "This isn't going to make a show worth seeing.

This isn't going to make a show worth seeing.

You weren't wrong

The show earned an extremely negative reception, becoming regarded as one of the worst television shows of all time.

How's it compare to heil honey I'm home?

The show you describe sounds pretty cool, but they just made the cavemen good at dancing, have big dicks, and I think they couldn't swim. It wasn't tasteful in the slightest

Yeah I thought that's how it would go.
