Beckham's voice is almost in Mike Tyson territory.

I smell Geico Cavemen spin-off: Are you smarter than a caveman?

@jobbotch: The caveman guy from the commercials is not contracted for the pilot.

On a seperate note, that geico actually inspired me to make duck-breast with a mango-raspberry salsa. True story.

To be fair, the main caveman guy is a pretty captivating actor (cf. the metal in his voice as he says "I'll have the duck with mango salsa" in one of the ads).

I'll just throw this out there: cast this thing with Baldwin brothers and save a fortune on makeup.

"I hope I never get hit in the rear again" is one of the most sublime moments ever. Philo T. Farnsworth, I bless your name for bringing me this joy via your invention.

I want them to do a sitcom about the only good Geico ad ever, Burt Bacharach singing "I got hit in the rear."

It can be him singing "I got hit in the rear" for a half an hour, and it will still be better than anything those cavemen ever did. Unless they bring in a retarded, rapping caveman. Nothing beats that.

I want to see the "Cavemen" show. I'm not proud of this. But I still say it's less sad than "Deal or No Deal."

This campaign jumped the shark a year ago. The fact that it's being turned into a sit-com, a genre that jumped the shark 10 years ago, is case in point. Also, that fucking cockney gecko makes me want to smash my television. Why does he have to sound like David Beckham, Mike Hughes? Whyyyyyyyyy?
