What have YOU seen and heard?

To describe a commercial where the speaker is using a regional or ethnic dialect, we can start by thinking of a cultural context or specific region to focus on. For instance, let's consider a commercial that features a speaker using a Southern American dialect.

One example of a commercial that fits this description is the "Mayhem" campaign by Allstate Insurance. In one of the commercials, Dean Winters portrays a character named "Mayhem" who speaks in a Southern accent. Mayhem is depicted as a mischievous character who causes various accidents and mishaps. The commercial aims to emphasize the importance of having insurance coverage to protect against unexpected events, making it an advertisement for Allstate Insurance.
