Sitting at a local bar watching part of the Olympics, a commercial aired that featured the Geico Caveman playing golf and promoting ESPN.

A sample from the campaign can be found here as I cannot find the actual spot online.

The best part about this was listening to some of the bar patrons discussing that the actor who played the Caveman is now out on his own due to being shafted or otherwise let go from Geico.  According to them he had truly secured an agent and was booking new gigs.

I don’t really know what to think of that of it. Is it funny, sad or truly scary?
