| Contemporary Caveman | comment |
A caveman in a modern-day setting. He's usally either an unfrozen Human Popsicle or someone who got here through Time Travel. If he's capable of speech, expect Hulk Speak; if not, grunting is the way to go. Occasionally, this is subverted by having the caveman speak in interesting prose, usually with an upper-class English accent. If they are able to fit in, then it is Like a Duck Takes to Water (which was previously known as "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer", thanks to the SNL example below). Note that the redirect title, "Freezetta Man", is a play on Frazetta Man, which is a certain type of caveman. Examples |

At the end Chapulin does manage to turn Chimpandolfo into a perfectly civilized gentleman... at the price of him getting crazy and acting like a caveman instead. | |

Mampato: Ogú, a caveman (or "Golagola", which is how he and his people identify) who often accompanies the present-day boy Mampato in the latter's adventures through time and space. A variation, in that he still lives in his original time period, with Mampato coming to pick him up, and that he's happy to go with his best friend (especially since the adventures often involve fighting). | |

It can be seen as a Human Popsicle beneath the surface of the frozen lake, and is freed when a modern-looking Mortar Tower fires on the spot where it is trapped, at which point it joins the war against the Bloons. | |

Bone Tomahawk: The troglodytes are heavily implied to be a species of early hominids that somehow managed to survive into the 19th century. Everything about them is Nightmare Fuel: They are huge hulking men horribly mutated and inbred beyond comprehension who exhibit no fear or emotion while tanking through gunshots to the body, and their exceedingly primitive and evil "culture" is obsessed with dismemberment, cannibalism and Groin Attacks. They are based on Paiute legends about giant, cannibalistic cave-dwelling ogres who lived in the American Southwest and warred with the Paiute several times. | |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: One episode features "Oog", a caveman who ended up in modern times thanks to Frylock's time-travelling supercomputer. In spite of getting longevity and a massive boost in intelligence in the bargain ("Now me stopping to go behind bush to relieve myself, instead of just going while I walk!"), he was still a character on Aqua Teen, and it showed; when he was feeling the slightest bit unstimulated, he'd scream "OOG BORED!" and try to rip his own head off. | |

Ghosts (UK): Played with with Robin, a prehistoric man living in the modern day who, developmental communication issues aside, has adjusted pretty well to modern life and who has surprising reserves of sophistication, wisdom and modern intelligence.

Power Rangers Dino Charge: Koda, the Blue Ranger, is a caveman from 100,000 years ago. Bonus points for accuracy in that anatomically he correctly looks identical to a modern human rather than looking like a stereotypical prehistoric man. After bonding with the blue energem, it granted him immortality to survive being flash frozen over the millennia until he's revived in the modern era. Still having some problems with modern technology and speech though. | |

Dawn of Time: Dawn initially seems to be a cavegirl in a primitive world, but it later turns out that most of her contemporaries live in more civilized surroundings, even though it's still millions of years in our past.

Anthro was frozen in a block of ice in Tales of the Unexpected, and thawed gradually. As it turns out, he speaks only French. (This is contradicted by Final Crisis, in which he becomes an old man and dies in his original time period. The Dr. Thirteen story in TotE is so meta, it's hard to imagine it as proper Canon.) | |

"Clubland Heroes" revolves around a group of pulp-adventure heroes that includes Lord Piltdown, a protohominid who was found frozen in a glacier as a child and raised as an English gentleman. His manners and dress are impeccable, and he's highly regarded as a cricketer. He never speaks, communicating by mime, although apparently he's written some good poetry. | |

The DCU: Anthro was frozen in a block of ice in Tales of the Unexpected, and thawed gradually. As it turns out, he speaks only French. (This is contradicted by Final Crisis, in which he becomes an old man and dies in his original time period. The Dr. Thirteen story in TotE is so meta, it's hard to imagine it as proper Canon.) Another unfrozen caveman, Java, is the main Mook for Corrupt Corporate Executive Simon Stagg, a regular thorn in the side of Metamorpho. The immortal Vandal Savage, much more sophisticated and urbane than anyone else on this page (he's become quite the gentleman and genius in his thousands of years), but still rather hairy and still might kill you with his bare hands... and then eat you. Gnaark, introduced in a time travel story in Teen Titans #38, and later a member of Titans West. In 1959, Bill Finger wrote "The Caveman from Krypton" in Worlds Finest (Vol. 1, #102) about a Kyptonian caveman who was frozen in molten lava(!) and was blasted to Earth when Krypton exploded. Initially brutal, he began to warm up to Superman and Batman but died in the end of the story. One issue of The Sandman (1989) opens with an infodump of how few people living today have been alive since prehistory, then goes to a 15,000-year-old caveman living as a lawyer in New York. As he's reminiscing about a dream that he had of his childhood hunting mammoths, he is unceremoniously killed by a falling pallet of bricks. |

Encino Man: A caveman is discovered frozen in a block of ice in Californian teenager Dave's backyard while he and a friend, Stoney, are digging a swimming pool. The heater thaws the ice while they're at school. Stoney and Dave find out that he's made a mess of the house, so they dress and clean him up. They bring him to school as a foreign exchange student (Linkavitch Chomofsky, aka Link), where he becomes popular. At the end of the movie, a cavewoman, Link's mate, is found taking a bath at Dave's house. | |

Zoo Tycoon: In the second game's expansion pack Extinct Animals, you can place glaciers in exhibits to make certain animals (namely Ice Age mammals such as mastodons and saber-toothed cats) feel more comfortable in the modern period. Occasionally, this glacier will contain a frozen caveman who will gradually thaw out and then wander around the zoo as if he were any other human guest. All the cavemen have Flintstones-style names. | |

The Man from Earth: Discussed and subverted. The main character is an immortal caveman who, having changed with the times, talks and acts like everyone else. He's actually only about 14,000 years old and from a nomad culture, so "caveman" is a bit of a stretch. | |
