Baker Mayfield was recently traded to the Carolina Panthers, but during his tenure with the Cleveland Browns, he spent most of his time as a resident living at the FirstEnergy Stadium.
Not really! Although he did play the role of a full-time 'Dawg Pound' bleacher creature during his days as an actor for Progressive, his time in front of the camera is done, for now.
So, as the quarterback moves to a new team and a new city, let's take a look at the top five viral commercials featuring former Browns star Baker Mayfield.
#5 Progressive: 'If I have to hear about subway tile one more time...'
Baker Mayfield is a dual-threat NFL quarterback who not only takes hits from mammoth defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs, but also puts his head down and initiates contact himself. That's what makes his gossiping about an unnamed woman with several moms such a hilarious visual.
In the ad, Mayfield chastises the woman, who later drives by in a new car, for constantly talking about subway tiles in her kitchen like it's a bold and novel concept.
He retorts to one of his mom friends, saying "Hello 1904?" This is quality acting and a nice showcase for Mayfield's personality, which Colin Cowherd has described in the past:
"Baker Mayfield's personality has never been right to be a quarterback. Baker talks too much. He’s often too rambling, very impulsive. The last four years have been filled with snark, disappointment, combativeness. Baker was in a hole, grabbed a shovel and just kept digging. Once again, he talks too much. It wasn’t calculated, it wasn’t prepared.”
The commercial's happy ending, where Mayfield convinces his friends that the woman is a 'good egg', makes it a wholesome 30-second interval.
#4 Progressive: "The furniture is going to get soaked"
Living in an outdoor stadium proved to be a pretty difficult proposition for Mayfield when the rain started falling in this ad for Progressive. It created a difficult predicament for the stadium employee, who didn't realize that part of his job description was now making sure Mayfield's furniture didn't get soaked.
Mayfield, in an ode to his play-calling under center, gave the employee a gameplan on how to make sure the furniture was kept safe from precipiation.
Bobby the groundskeeper's response of "You mean like the stands?" was a fine co-starring role for the fictional FirstEnergy Stadium employee.
#3 BodyArmor: "Nah nah this is our turf you dingus"
The prospect of an NFL quarterback setting up a professionally made BodyArmor tent right across from a group of kids setting up an amateur lemonade stand makes the premise of this spot a hit right off the bat.
That the kids give Mayfield such an attitude, even with the quarterback acting in a civil manner towards the group, makes this a wildly hilarious TV spot.

Mayfield's humility is on full display after the lead kid challenges and proceeds to destroy him in an array of athletic endeavors, including a footrace, a push-up contest, hoola-hooping, and even throwing a football. He then gets kicked out of the space by the group.
Mayfield gets the last laugh, though, as he hands out BodyArmor drinks to the envious kids. "I win," he proudly proclaims to the group of grade-schoolers.
#2 Progressive: "Yea I'm pretty sure they're not mine"
Mayfield living at FirstEnergy Stadium is humorous enough. But add Alice Cooper as his neighbor, living over at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is in the shadow of the Browns' home field, and you have yourself a tremendous crossover.
In this one, Mayfield heads over to the RnR HoF in hopes of returning Cooper's boots, which were incorrectly mailed 'next door' to the stadium the QB occupied during his Browns days.
When trying to give them back, Mayfield is asked if he is sure they weren't actually his. His response of "Yea, I'm pretty sure they're not mine" was among his finest performances of comedic timing yet.
#1 Hulu: "Take it from me, Baker Mayfield's face on not Baker Mayfield's body"
The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed the world in mostly negative ways. However, one of the lone bright spots in this post-March 2020 world we occupy was the Hulu deep-faked ads back during the coronavirus' darkest days.
Seeing Mayfield and Saquon Barkley's faces digitally edited onto random people's bodies was an image few will ever forget. The commercial gets even better when it is revealed that seven-foot NBA center Joel Embiid is edited onto a small child's body.
Commercials like these will be missed if Mayfield never returns to his best form and advertisers look elsewhere for their next football funnyman.
