In the mid-2000s, the insurance company Esurance aired commercials featuring a special agent character named Erin Esurance. These ads showed her going through various ''Series/MissionImpossible''-esque situations such as fighting various bad guys like criminals and evil robots... all while explaining the benefits of Esurance's auto-insurance.

!!Tropes in the Erin Esurance ads:
* ActionGirl: Erin.
* BaseballEpisode: One of the ads took place at a baseball game. A song about saving money with Esurance to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" even played in it!
* GreenAesop: One ad mentioned that Esurance can save you some "green" - for both the environment and your wallet.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of the ads showed burglars trying to break into Erin's house. Erin's pet cat dumps some stuff onto the burglars, catching them off guard and causing their dynamite to blow up on them.
* {{Mascot}}: Erin was, of course, the mascot of Esurance, and she was a short-lived one at that.
* ShoutOut: Erin was inspired by Sydney Bristow from ''Series/{{Alias}}''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Erin has pink hair.
