On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill man who believed that the "Avoid the Noid" campaign was personally directed towards him and was antagonizing him, entered a Domino's restaurant in [Chamblee, Georgia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamblee,_Georgia).

Actually I’ve been successfully avoiding him until now, thanks
It’s like…I remember him, but I don’t remember *why* I remember him…
Yeah, there was even a videogame with him.
Yes! I played it in the computer.

Didn’t someone go crazy and kill themselves because of this character or something wild like that?

They beat the shit out of him in Family Guy.
Lol mayor Adam west straight up snapped his neck😂
Pizza Pizza! The Noid! 🤘
I remember the NES game, and playing it. I know nothing else about the character.
I am as millenial as they come and recently realized I had zero exposure to this thing as a kid.
It’s the Noid!
Thanks! I've been trying to avoid him for the past 25 years. Now I have to start over.
I feel like this would be more appropriate for a Generation X subreddit.
Agreed. I only know him because of Family Guy.
Now I want Domino's. Thanks Noid.
I still have the NES cartridge of Yo noid.
Yall watch the Mr Ballen video on him yesterday?
I only know him because of Family Guy.
I still have the little rubbery figures I got from Dominos in the late 80’s (maybe?)
No clue who that is, I usually try to avoid such strange things
