    They aren't aggressively annoying like the Allstate dickhead. And that frigging word. Mayham.

    And I liked him on 30 Rock.

    And Law and Order - btw, an actor in a hated TV ad being murdered and Logan and Briscoe wondering if it was a crazed fan who did it would have been a great Law and Order episode.

    Briscoe: "Should have bought the wife some jewelry..." (and go to title open).

    IIRC, they did something with a stalker fan who attacked a soap opera star; a Bartman riff with a hated fan getting killed in a bar; and a star baseball player whose father was killed over a gambling debt, but "crazed fan" was one of the initial theories.

    Not a TV spot, but a radio spot with Pat Mahomes pitching a jewelry store with all the sports cliches you normally hear in spots like these - you'll be a winner, make her feel like your MVP etc. What caught me was the tag line saying you can get a free Xbox if you spend more than $1100. I'm sure it's a real classy joint targeting the sophisticated buyer.

    If you're an Antenna TV rerun nerd like I am, you've seen the Life Alert commercials that are straight up fear mongering.

    I am impressed by your Law & Order knowledge. I miss repeats being on TV at every hour.

    Another from the radio division is the national spot for "Big Lou" insurance that starts with the announcer saying, "Do you have three ex-wives and your current trophy wife wants a life insurance policy twice as big as your previous mistakes?"
    Who are they marketing this to?
