Go fly your rocket some place else

I super enjoy the Mayhem Allstate commercials. Sadly for me, I called the ad agency that does those and was told they didn’t accept outside ideas. 😢

Here is one of the ideas I have for a Mayhem Allstate commercial.

A group of youth have gathered in a field. They are excitedly setting up a rocket. Mayhem is the rocket.

Mayhem says, “I’m a 9th grade science project.”

Each youth says something different: “Fly to Mars.” Youth pats the rocket (Mayhems shoulder).

A different youth pouts, “Venus is prettier.”

Another youth says, “forget Mars – it’s going to Saturn.”

One other youth says, “I hope it flys to Pluto.”

Elon Musk is standing in the background. The group is totally unaware of him. He says sourly, “they are aware Pluto’s not a planet any more?”

The youth try to light the rocket as Mayhem spins a little. He says laughing, “keep trying.”

“Hold it steady.” One youth voices.

They all hold the rocket as one youth lights the fuse. As it lifts off, as they watch in awe at their creation. Mayhem winks and grins.

Neil deGreasse Tyson is now standing beside Musk. “I hope it doesn’t blow up.” Tyson & Musk just look at each other, expressionless. The camera returns to the rocket.

The rocket goes wild, Mayhem yells “abort, abort” before crashing through the roof of a barn.

The group of youth look at each other, gasp, yell in unison, “ol man Winters.” The youth run in every direction. Tyson and Musk look at each other and run away.

There is a small explosion, chickens and goats run out of the barn; highly agitated.

Mayhem walks out of the barn dusting hay off his clothes (it’s in his hair), smoke is rolling off of him, as the barn catches fire. He launches into his, ‘insurance’ speech.

As he walks off camera, he says, “boom.”
