In 1975, comedian Jack Eagle began starring in commercials in the role of Brother Dominic, a medieval monk who uses the "miraculous" power of Xerox machines to quickly produce many copies of handwritten documents. Eagle, who described himself as "the only Jewish father masquerading as a Catholic brother," gained national fame from his continued appearances as Brother Dominic.

This image shows Eagle in character as Brother Dominic giving a blessing to Seattle Sounders forward Derek Smethurst. Despite warning that his blessings sometimes backfire, the Sounders went on to defeat the Edmonton Drillers 2-0 shortly after receiving Brother Dominic's blessing.
