Step up to the tub
It ain't no disgrace
Just pull up your sleeves
And get up in place
Then scoop up the water
And rub it on your face
An' go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle
Ud-dle-um-dum ....what?

Bring in the suds-spect. Get it? Suds-spect? It's a pun. I meant to say "suspect" but I'm washing dishes so I said "suds-spect." Because when you wash dishes, you make suds. Isn't that a riot? No? Right, then, fuck you too. Oh, and I declare you guilty of something. Go lock yourself up. Asshole.

Thing is, everyone's been against it since before Day 1, just because the characters and the basic premise originated in that Geico commercial. If people would only judge it on its merits as a sitcom, I think they'd agree that it's funny and smart. No one complains when a contestant on a reality show gets their own spinoff. But oh, unforgivable crime, the cavemen started out in a commercial.
