It is an “ode to Dallas!”

I did not eat at the Fried What booth this year. I split a fried Snickers with 3 people the year before, and that’s still enough fried Snickers for me.

The thing about the dogs is that they have started asking people not to bring them, but no one enforces it. I brought Mac last year not knowing this, and some sociopath (who was not near any dogs at the time, so couldn’t have been too bothered by any) yelled “What’s with all the dogs? The website said NO DOGS.” while staring me down. Andrew’s whereabouts at the time were unknown. Must have been a relative.

Far From Extinct: Cavemen Takes a Look at Race Relations and Gender – (excerpts)

“…In one of many comments on the show in his LameRerun.com blog, KiyoshiMartinez says, “Yes, believe it or not, a show basing its humor on the specter of racism, prejudice and race relations in society manages to entertain for 30 minutes.” In another post, KiyoshiMartinez applauds episode two, titled “Nick Get Job,” (in which Nick, a caveman and main character in the show, files a discrimination lawsuit against Norskbild when the manager fires him) thusly: “[sic] In many ways this was the subtle social commentary for the episode. While some might blame ‘-isms’ for their problems, there’s instances where people actually judge them fairly, too. The joy of the social commentary in Cavemen is that they don’t try to beat you over the head with it. It’s there if you want to find it.” KiyoshiMartinez’s comment reinforces the idea that Cavemen successfully critiques attitudes toward different races, not only the dominant ethnic community (whites/Homo sapiens), but also in minority communities (African Americans/cavemen/et cetera), in a way that is sensitive and fairly subtle, but still funny, entertaining, and familiar to the viewer. No one race is flattered or favored, either; both Homo sapiens (or “saps” as viewer majormadmax, and presumably a Cavemen character, calls them) and cavemen contribute to tensions, but can also alleviate these tensions by being aware of what goes on and trying to counter sterotypes and generalizations (Nick realizes at the end that he was actually fired for listening to music during work, delegating his job to others without the authority to do so, and being a horrible employee in general). Several other individuals share similar opinions of the show. One viewer, vze2363v, who does not like the show, posted a comment on imdb.com in which he admitted that “the show has an interesting take in almost a ‘Daily Show-esque’ manner regarding the judgments we make about those who are unlike ourselves.” Episodes one and three, “Her Embarrassed of Caveman”
and “Cavewoman,” respectively, back up what vze2363v believes. In episode one, Joel worries that his new girlfriend, Kate, is embarrassed of their relationship because he is a caveman. Kate is not embarrassed and is in fact playfully teased by her girlfriends who believe that she “has a fetish for cavemen” (Cavemen). In episode three, Heather, a cavewoman who develops a crush on Joel and becomes jealous when she discovers that he already has a girlfriend, maliciously refers to Kate as a “smoothie” and also bullies Nick, who she becomes involved with over the course of the episode, for being weak. These episodes both support vze2363v’s assertion that Cavemen regularly deals with issues of race relations in a funny way that most viewers can also relate to. Viewer comments pertaining to Cavemen’s representation of modern day race relations seem to suggest that audiences are largely performing preferred readings of the shows, which seems to push for a society in which many different kinds of people could live together peaceably and accept differences. It also suggests that audiences recognize the tensions between races, and perhaps are open to working on improving race relations.
Gender is also explored in Cavemen. Again, episodes one and three provide examples of this. In episode one, we are introduced to Joel’s brother, Andy, who spends much of the first episode crying and generally upset over his recent breakup with his girlfriend, Susan. Viewers did not seem to be as open to portrayals of gender in the show as they were to portrayals of race relations in the show. Andy and his sensitive nature seem to upset viewers like RCharbs29 who claims that “there is no humor in this show” and that “the crying caveman is annoying.” Heather, the strong-willed bully and (cave)woman in episode three also makes viewers uncomfortable. In another comment posted on imdb.com, windtar says that “[sic] the episode of the woman cave-woman with a attitude was actually a big, yea right, for us. she’s crude in a theater and acts tough to strangers, and truth be told, she needed a slap…”
