Local Lawyer Commercials
 
What are the lawyer commercials like where you live?

There this one where we see people talking about an accident, and they ask who the lawyer is, they say his name, and this shocking sound effect comes on, and they guy looks like he shit his pants.

Then there's this other who does stupid shit and smiles all the time. Plus, I think he looks like a toad. >:

The saddest thing around here is that I live near Detroit so occasionally we get Geoffrey Fieger but most of the time we get some lameass who hired Robert Vaughn to do his commercials. I think his name is Sam Bernstein or some shit, some kind of ambulance chaser.

Some actor from the A Team is in the commercials for the lawyers around here :(. I forget his name. But I always remember the number of the law office :(. 1800-WIN-WIN-1

theres this guy with these awful animated commercials. my favorite one is this voice-over guy saying "ever think your doctor is just a mouthpiece blah blah blah. well maybe he is??" and then it shows a dummy doctor on the lap of this guy witha cigar in his mouth saying in this high pitched voice "BACK TO WORK! BACK TO WORK! NO BENEFITS! NO BENEFITS!" then it cuts to the guy on a construction site saying "im Chadwick Lee and all i do i help injured workers" or something

another one is one theyve shown since i moved here in 1990. its a close up of a phone and this womans jaw talking. shes talking about her son getting in troubel and she doesnt know what to do then she goes "OH YOU DO KNOW BETTY BLACKWELL??"

Yeah, that bullshit. I've never heard of him doing anything really major, I'm betting he just settles out of court and takes $5 for his trouble. Is Robert Vaughn really that bad off?? :lol

:lol - Hmm, tough to say really. He's a working actor, but for one reason(s) or the other he's been pimping these ambulance chasers for sometime now. I remember the first time I saw him in an ad, his "You mean business!" was so over-the-top and coupled with the poor dubbing to insert the law firm's name and phone number, it was, well something else.

Nah, the only really embarrassing person I've seen do shit like that is that chump who owns DOC. First he did the respectable 'I'm the CEO, you buy some glasses' to donning a darker suit and shades and dancing like the whitest stereotype out there. Now, I guess he just makes Michelob bottles vanish up his ass in public while holding a 'buy my glasses' sign at local malls.

Miss Modular Aug 29th, 2004 10:43 AM

Nah, just relating. You're telling me you were spared those gay DOC commercials? Lucky bastard.

AChimp Aug 29th, 2004 07:41 PM

Canadian lawyers don't advertise, so we have to switch to FOX to see Shapiro. :(

ArrowX Aug 29th, 2004 08:05 PM

I get the Hammer Shapiro commercials.

Also I get one that has Those masks made of china where ones smiling and ones frowning and the hit the ground in slow mo while the promoters talking. It's freaky.

In Redding California there was Max G. Arnold, who had some kind of accent, austrailian or new zealand or something. His commercials usually were like bad comedy skits using his kids. One had his son and daughter as a romantic couple, and the boyfriend showed his date his (non-metaphorical) snake. He leaves the room after telling her its "very friendly." when he comes back, the snake is like, on her. And shes like "HELP HELP!" and hes like "DARLING! ARE YOU OKAY?" and shes like "I sure am, MAX G. ARNOLD IS MY LAWYER." So I guess Max G. Arnold beleives in suing your incestous romantic interest over being touched by a snake instead of sitting down and talking things over.

Edgar Snyder is a legend in my neck of the woods. This guy comes off as grandfatherly figure, the kindly old man who gives you advice when you're down on your luck. I wish he were my father.
