There's a humorous commercial airing on television in which a new spokesperson representing the iconic Maytag repairman impersonates several large appliances around a house. For example, he runs in place while juggling armloads of food to symbolize how a fridge is "always on." "The blender spends most days snoozing," says the repairman, played by Syfy actor Colin Ferguson, as a hungry family snatches food out of his arms, "but there's no such thing as downtime for a fridge." He ends the spot by disparaging the work ethic of another small appliance: "Lazy toaster."
