All State has debuted a new commercial featuring Mike Morgan's bionic storm chaser "Dr." Reed Timmer the Scientist. The spot advertises the insurer's new mobile weather alerts, because that's apparently now a thing.
Here's the spot:
I know the ad is a national spot, but if you're depending on your insurance agency to alert you to severe weather, you probably live in a place that doesn't have severe weather. Then again, the All State alert system probably won't advise you to head south on I-44 either. Take that for what it's worth.
My favorite part of the commercial is when Reed fires up the XR150 tornado grounding spike-bolts (I just made that up) from underneath the Dominator. Seriously, that's all it does? I thought it turned into a robot or was the arm of a Voltron or something. Of course, the XR150 tornado grounding spike-bolts could also just be part of the world's worst hydraulic bumping system. The Dominator may be the lowrider G-Unit of storm chasing circles, but I don't think it's going to win any awards in front of Bobo's on Saturday night.
