Phil Morrison of Epoch Films directed this latest campaign in the continuation of the Mr. Mayhem commercials in which a male spokesperson portrays the source of potential liability leading to accidents.
In this spot, Mr. Mayhem is hanging off a fast moving vehicle as a team flag. He explains to us that this lucky team flag is hanging on by a thread.
Sure enough, he loses grasp on his home ride and lands on the windshield of another car in traffic, causing it to crash.
This flag faux pas is especially bad news if you have cut-rate insurance. Better get Allstate.

“Mufasa: The Lion King” and “Sonic 3” Rule Box Office For 1st Weekend Of 2025
The Walt Disney Co.'s "Mufasa: The Lion King" claimed the No. 1 spot on the North American box office charts over the first weekend of 2025.
The photorealistic "Lion King" prequel earned $23.8 million in its third weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount's "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," which has dominated the past two weekends, wasn't far behind.

The film, directed by Robert Eggers, already surpassed its reported production budget of $50 million, though that figure does not account for marketing and promotion expenses).
No new wide releases opened this weekend, leaving the box office top 10 once again to holdovers from previous weeks. Several have been in theaters since Thanksgiving. One of those, "Moana 2," claimed the No. 4 spot for Disney in its sixth weekend in theaters. The animated sequel earned another $12.4 million, bumping its global total to $960.5 million.
The Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown," dipped only slightly in its second weekend, bringing in $8.1 million. With $41.7 million total, it's Searchlight's highest grossing film since Disney acquired the company in... Read More
