Everyone wrote that show off as a cash grab for an okay commercial campaign.

Yeah, it's one of those crazy cases where a show based on a commercial actually works out great. Unlike that GEICO caveman show.

It was an ad campaign for the premier league on NBC a few years prior. You can probably still find the sketches on YouTube.

The geico caveman show was around 2007 and from the episode I watched, it relied on racist stereotypes but applied them to cavemen. jit sucked butthole
