F/V Time Bandit and the Caveman

Sorry, even if the Hillstrand brothers of the Time Bandit, a fishing vessel featured on Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, try to convince me to switch to Geiko, I don't plan to do it. Not even if they team up with the Caveman (playing the part of a newly-arrived greenhorn). I just saw their new commercial on Discovery Health channel, and it doesn't seem it has found its way to YouTube yet. So, no easy embed to this blog just yet.

I have to appreciate, though, that the Hillstrands manage to not take life too seriously, even in the midst of a very serious profession. That said, seeing them in a commercial with the Caveman has me scratching my head, and saying, "Huh?"

If only Progressive had gotten to them first. I'd truly think about switching if they got the boys in a commercial with the all-too-funny Progressive lady.

WAIT, don't stop reading yet: Just as I was ready to hit publish to this post, ANOTHER commercial aired, this time with Jonathon sitting in the captain's chair of the boat, giving his signature giggle to the little wad of money with the big eyes. I actually didn't catch the beginning of the commercial, so there may have been more to it. I don't know. Even the bit I saw was better than the Caveman ad.

I still won't switch, though.
