“You’re darn right, I’m tired. Tired of SAP.” “I meant fired. Stupid autocorrect.” If you remember the prehistoric days when nobody got fired for buying IBM, NetSuite is suggesting people should be fired for buying SAP.

Given that Stone Age label that NetSuite Zach Nelson uses to trash competitors such as Sage and Dynamics, I can envision the company resurrecting the Neanderthals from earlier Geico ads (Who are a lot more interesting than the Gecko anyway.) Whatever the target competitor is, the NetSuite ad would say, “So ancient, even a caveman won’t use it” and show the evolution of mankind from Neanderthal through Sage and Great Plains to NetSuite users.
