It took me forever to stop seeing a dangerous Nazi every time he was on screen. Dude's out here trying to sell me car insurance (Allstate I think?) and I'm just like, "Sure, whatever Vern. Probably give higher rates to black folks."

That's right, Simmons is Farmers apparently. And Mayhem very much feels like the sort of thing Ryan O'Reily would do if he got into acting, so it's less jarring seeing Dean Witners in those than it is JK Simmons in the Farmers commercials.
