Geico Caveman Commercial: Airport
Sometimes I come across a great commercial on television, and this is one of my recent favorites. The caveman is a great, expressive character who is always upset with the world's view of his intelligence. And the music in this commercial really makes it. Checking Yahoo Answers I find that the song is "Remind Me" by Royksopp. Get the album Melody A.M.

[...] Jason has completely made my day by identifying that song from the Geico commercial (you know, the one where a caveman is riding a moving walkway in an airport) as “Remind Me” from Royksopp’s Melody A.M. album. I get that commercial stuck in my head every time I see the commercial, but after watching the eery music video, the tune lingers for hours. Check it out: [...]

Great commercial … and better site that tells me the tune !!

I am “in love” with the Geico caveman…. WHO is he??!! (The one who walks past the airport poster, and who sees the psyciatrist, and who talks to the newscaster about his “tone”)??? These ads are the funniest I’ve seen since the Capitol One ads with David Spade. If i did not already have Geico Insurance, I would get it just because of the caveman!!
And where can the public buy caveman posters?!
Wrote on January 26, 2007 @ 11:48 pm
i absolutely love the caveman commercials….i would love to collect the cds if available…he is super great and every commercial makes me laugh outloud…he is fabulous!!
can i please know all about this great actor?

Some sites have said that the caveman in the airport commercial is Ben Weber but I have seen nothing reliable that says how they know he did that commercial. There are a few actors who play the different cavemen.
Wrote on January 27, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
The main caveman is John Lehr. I had to find out how they did they makeup and came across this:

Tyson, he may not be the caveman from the airport commercial. I found the same info you did.

My wife and I love the Geico caveman commercials. However, I had a different perspective on the airport commercial. I think the caveman is not “disgusted” with seeing his image in the advertisement, but rather is subtlety becoming more at ease with his “fame” as being the company representative. In fact, when he crosses his arms and tilts back his head, it seems to me he’s preening. I also think the music adds to the ambience, and supports that conclusion.
Wrote on February 1, 2007 @ 11:28 pm
I totally agree with Lou and actually got on line to try to find support for my position. THANK YOU!!!

I love these commercials!! Thanks for the song info – now, another Geico one – with Verne Troyer, singing “Got my car fixed, it’s my birthday…” Title, anyone?
Wrote on February 2, 2007 @ 8:52 pm
I too love this guy. The Airport commercial I thought was giving off the sence of pride with a bit of digust.If he is upset than I love him more for his demeaner. I would love to do lunch sometime.

I agree with Lou Fritz & Cheryl Michelle on the mood of the caveman in the airport when he sees the billboard. I felt he acted somewhat proud, not disgusted as in the other commercials. I have a small on-going wager with my son on this one. He says the caveman is still ticked off. I would appreciate reading other interpretations of the this caveman’s attitude. Maybe my son and I can finally get an unbiased consensus and settle our little bet. I’m willing to pay up & shut up if I’m wrong. Thanks in advance for your comments.
Wrote on February 15, 2007 @ 1:43 pm
LaVerne, I also agree that he seemed a bit proud of the ad. This is a disagreement between my husband and daughter and I. They still think he is frustrated and angry at the ad. So…it seems a bit ambiguous. Wonder what they were aiming for.
Wrote on February 16, 2007 @ 10:40 am
I LOVE THE SONG I LOVE THE MEMORIES THAT I SEEM TO THINK OF WHEN I HEAR THAT SONG.I WANT MORE! MY OPINION IS: HE SEES HIS PICTURE IN THE AIRPORT AND SAYS YEAH THAT IS ME!WERE IT NOT FOR US YOU WOULD NOT BE WHERE YOU ARE I LOOK GOOD WOW THANK YOU FOR IDING THE SONG I WANT TO PURCHASE THE SONG DBECKCOM
Wrote on February 17, 2007 @ 1:13 pm
The fact is he is still ‘ticked off’ with the billboard when he sees it in the airport. there is a little known follow-up to this ad, which may have aired only once or twice–he’s in the airport, in front of the billboard, and is on his cell-phone complaining to someone (geico?) about it.
A great ad–one of the best ever.
Wrote on February 17, 2007 @ 1:27 pm
Love the commercial at the airport, love love the song “Every where I go” Now who sings that and what is the name? I turn it up every time it comes on. I think that caveman is cool! I think you are smart caveman.
Wrote on February 17, 2007 @ 7:59 pm
john lehr is NOT the main caveman. he’s only in the one with the psychotherapist. weber is also referenced. no where on his references is the geico commercial. so who’s the proginal actor on conveyor belt in airport?
Wrote on February 18, 2007 @ 12:56 pm
I believe that in the airport commercial, caveman is still ticked off. He is going on vacation (by the way, i luv the wood tennis raquet). Caveman is tired of all the prejudice against them, and to top it all off, he leaves on vacation and finds another “so easy to use a caveman could do it” ad…and that’s the cue for: “No matter where I go…there’s always something to remind me…another place and time…” (cool song from Royksopp Melody)
“There’s always something to remind me” Of what? It reminds caveman of all the insults

Love, love, love the song…..awesome…on Itunes.

This ad campaign is probably the most brilliant and intelligent work I’ve ever seen. I actually look forward to seeing new ones and I will be sad when they retire it. My favorite was “Not Cool” until the most recent party in the penthouse episode. Please make more caveman commercials!!!!!! It’s definitely better than watching any of the TV shows on these days.
Wrote on February 19, 2007 @ 8:21 pm
There is a follow up commercial for the airport one. I think he is still ticked off…he is on a cell phone talking to someone….gives dimensions of the picture and says “Well apparently not cause Im looking right at it”
Wrote on February 19, 2007 @ 9:55 pm
[...] This is a followup to the Geico caveman airport commercial. In it the caveman is on the phone with someone about the offending ad. It appears that it was supposed to be taken down but is still there. [...]

There is something about this song that I just can’t get over. I’d hear it from the next room and always forget to ask what commercial it was. It’s been drving me crazy for weeks! I am so relieved to find out what it is. I love these geico commercials! My favortie is still the one where they are in the restaraunt and he ‘loses his appetite’. Too good.
Wrote on February 28, 2007 @ 5:16 pm
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about the mood of the caveman in the 1st airport scene. Alright, already, I guess it’s time for me admit an error in judgement and pay up on the wager with my son. Thanks again!

I like the one where he is being interviewed by Fox News and he says about yes we made the wheel, walked upright..
the disgusted look when asked if he woke up under the wrong rock is AWESOME
Whoever came up with these ads must be a genious and probably very weathy by now…They earned it…

I am still wondering who that cutie caveman is in the airport commercial!! Anyone know for sure?? Or how to find out??? oh well, maybe looking at the “real” guy will spoil it….afterall, it’s this caveman I’m in love with….just as he is!!!!
Wrote on March 7, 2007 @ 4:09 pm
this is my favorite commercial of all time. the caveman said so much without saying a word. his body language and posture…every move he makes…can bring tears to my eyes. not to mention the music, the volume goes up, its so beautiful. i gotta tell myself, its only a commercial. i hate when its over. the other commercials dont come close to this one and sadly never will. but you guys keep trying,okay?

i was wondering if you can get the posters in the commercial anywhere. it would be awesome to have one.
Wrote on March 25, 2007 @ 9:08 pm
just as an fyi: john lehr isn’t the airport caveman. he’s in the very first one: NOT COOL! (the boom operator) the therapy one IT’S MY MOM, I’LL PUT HER ON SPEAKER and he’s in the latest one with all three. all guys seem to be perfect to me. i’ll be interested to see if they get the other two for the new abc caveman pilot. john lehr is unavailable because he has his own show on TBS “10 items or less.”

Wrote on July 24, 2007 @ 9:57 am
Sorry Lou Fritz but Respectfully your take is way off base lets look at the following facts:
1) None of the cavemen are company spokesmen, please note that the photo on the airport wall is a substandard photo/makeup what ever you want to call it. An no other commerical by GEICO ever presents the cavemen as spokesmen.
2) Follow up to number 1 remember the commerical with the caveman in the therapist office and the dialogue they have, the caveman is having troubles BECAUSE of the fact that GEICO has thrown them out there without any input from the cavemen.
3) Remember this fact that cavemen (Neanderthal man) lived some 300,000 years before Homosapien (Cro-magon),(i.e. modern man) appeared and they did live at the same time and in some cases together in the same areas, and there is some evidence that they actually may have lived together from time to time. DNA evidence suggests that they were close enought to maybe reproduce. Then finally somewhere around 35,000 yrs B.C. they died out because of the ratio between birth and death rates and because of the Competition for resources with man.
4) This references #3 above, the song “Remind Me” is actually a image generator to let you know what is going through the caveman’s mind “I remember a different place and time”. What he is remembering is the time before Homosapien showed up on the scene. Before the arrival of man the cavemen had the whole world to themselves and did not have to deal with us a aggresive, and Violent species.
5) If any of the cavemen were company spokesmen then the entire theme of the commerical would be wrong, remember the other commercial where they are at a party and outside on the balcony and the main character is kind of chewing out the one leaning over the railing I may not get the exact words correct but to this effect he says “what did you expect you went with GEICO, why just to save some money”.
You are trying to be a college professor here and over Analyze the thing, Remember the KISS princple it is correct about 99.9% of the time.

Mike:
The reference to “it’s my mother, I will put her on speaker phone” is a reference to Freudian Psychotherapy and in particular the element of Repression where adult problems can be traced back to your childhood. Many times these problems are the result of how your Mother or Father screwed up your mind while you were young. So instead of explaining his relationship to his mother to the Doctor he just thought she could listen in on their converstion and save time.

Wrote on August 13, 2007 @ 1:23 am
Oh Cookie, now who’s over-analyzing the therapist commercial. The commercial simply uses the therapist setting to explain the effect of the ads on the cavemen, basically saying that it bothers them so much that they need therapy for it. Although I believe the whole Freudian Philosophy of all adult problems being able to be traced back to childhood abuse, neglect or mistakes a big bunch of bull**** (I know plenty of abused/neglected kids that grew up just fine and a few VERY bad adults who were raised in very loving, caring homes with both parents present), I agree that’s probably what they were referencing.
