I watched a few episodes when it originally aired, and it was the same joke drawn out for 20-something minutes.

I kinda want to watch it to be honest. Honestly, how bad can it be? >_>

The entire reason why I made this topic is because the song in this commercial played on my Spotify, lmfao.

It mystifies me that they ever actually filmed episodes for it.

Yes I watched it and I actually liked it. I think most people who mocked it never actually watched it. If it hadn't come from a commercial, people might have given it a chance. It was an interesting story concept

I believe the execs said it couldn't be like the commercials or something too, after the writers signed on.

I remember. I'm pretty sure it was cancelled within its first episode but abc was obligated to air the completed episodes.

I know one of the cavemen was the blonde drummer from Detroit Rock City.

This. It was destined to fail.

They refused to hire the actors from the commercials, and then changed things up enough to where it basically had nothing to do with the commercials, despite being advertised as being inspired by said commercials.

They made so many blunders with it.

That's literally the only joke I recall from that show. And I was shocked to see Kroll was in that, since he wasn't known prior to the League for me. But my friends and I used to use that 'whoa whoa bobby knight' line a lot when someone started flying off the handle.

The writers actually went on to write some of the best episodes of It's Always Sunny too, after this got canned. Go figure. There was talent involved, but a dumb ass premise and a studio not willing to back the stupid ass premise really killed it.

XD I think A LOT of people were hooked on that song like that Dirty Vegas song in one of those famous Nissan or Kia commercials around the same era.

That was fucking bizarre but not bad. Feels like a semi-ripoff of the caveman lawyer sketch but they didn't know what kind of comedic direction to take so they chose to play it off like a racial joke, which is okay for like 3 minutes.

Point is, modern cavemen CAN work if done illogically yet rationally

One of the best lessons one can learn about crossing genres.

What works in a 30 second to one minute TV commercial doesn't necessarily work in a half-hour sitcom format.
