William Shatner warns of the dangers of deep-frying a turkey in an explosive new PSA

Thanksgiving is almost here and with the holiday will come a slew of hospitalized yokels who sustain injuries when not following directions while deep-frying their turkey and those in turn will result in a slew of local news bits dedicated to said yokels. The makers of this tongue-in-cheek PSA for State Farm warning against these dangers were smart enough to enlist the most legendary over-actor of all time, William Shatner. Safety information disguised with humor so you don’t know you’re learning? Check. Awful CGI fire? Check. Shatner whispering “dingle-dangle” multiple times? Check. Indeed, a successful PSA.
