Who is your favorite insurance commercial character? I've always liked the Caveman commercials, but the Mercury commercials are kind of funny, too. I don't know if I'm missing anyone, though...

Apparently the cavemen are so popular that they're going to have a sitcom on ABC this fall.

It's not because they're popular.  The guy who created the characters wanted to originally make a sitcom, but was writing commercials for a living.  So he decided to try out his characters in the ads and the rest is history.
This is a secret coded message.

The Geico Gecko used to be cool, but then he got a new voice and new model. I don't like him anymore.

I haven't seen any of these insurance mascots, so other.

Yeah the new Gecko isn't nearly as cool as the old one.
The cavemen are great, however.
That was a joke.

Though I despise commercials and how people quote them more often than the shows for which TV was supposedly invented, I'm just gonna go with the cavemen because the gecko isn't cool anymore and I have never heard of the other two. Don't fill me in, please.

Those Esurance commercials would make an awesome animated series, provided they lose the whole car insurance aspect.

I just realized, Geico is spelled wrong in the poll. Twice.

The Cavemen rock.  But I got annoyed when I found out that in the cavemen in the sitcom won't the be the same as the ones in the commercials.

I think the Caveman commercials are getting old. It was funny at first when it was this sort of non-sequiter meta-joke (where it's a normal Geico commerical at first, then they make the caveman comment, to which a nearby caveman cameraman reacts negatively), but then it got completely self-indulgent. A caveman sitcom would hopefully end up like every other prehistory-themed sitcom: cancelled. Then, in five or ten years, there would be a sort of "retro" chic thing, which would result in a Caveman Show DVD box set, along with wired controllers and cars with wheels.
