Answer 1

i think you need to get a girl friend or somthing.........

Answer 2

I haven't seen that particular commercial, but the Geico ones are really funny. I don't think there's anything Freudian about the caveman answering his mother's call, and you're probably closer to the idea than your girlfriend. Think about it for a minute. A caveman with a cell phone? Is there not an anachronism there? I think what the ad is trying to show is the contrast between the days of the Neanderthal and the age of technology, and the absurdity of the situation. It's simply designed to get people's attention so they'll watch the commercial, and who knows -- maybe switch to Geico???

Answer 3

it's probably meant to be a joke, because therapist tend to blame the parents, especially the mother, so maybe it is Fruedian...

Answer 4

I think you need to take your girlfriend out more. One can be too Freudian.
