Verizon's "can you hear me now" campaign became one of the most iconic ad catchphrases and launched Marcarelli into a unique kind of stardom. 

Also, apropos of nothing, Marcarelli's Twitter account is almost entirely pictures of his pugs.

Verizon, when reached for comment by Time, threw back some pretty decent shade. 

"They're using our 2002 pitchman because they're finally catching up to where we were in 2002. Of course since then, we've spent billions of dollars -- $11 billion last year alone -- improving and expanding America's best wireless network," Verizon spokesperson Jeffrey Nelson said.
