Couple things about Cavemen:

- The guys in the commercials are not in the show. Two of them tested for it but didn't get it and the third is John Lehr, who has his own show on TBS (10 Items or Less) so he wasn't able to do it. The creative from the Martin Agency who was primarily responsible for conceiving the Geico campaign took a leave to work on the show, and the directors of the commercials (Speck/Gordon) directed the pilot. Not sure if they're doing all the episodes, but probably.

- The cavemen look worse because of how long the makeup and prosthetics take to apply and how cumbersome it all becomes after only a few hours. When you only need thirty seconds of material it's easier to spend more time applying everything and to shoot quickly enough that discomfort isn't as big of an issue. I'm assuming they're undergoing a different process on the show than on the commercials to deal with this.
