DailyDirt: Better Call Saul...

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

The Super Bowl -- uh, "the big game" -- commercials last weekend had a few ads that demonstrate (again) that people will actually want to watch commercials if they're done properly. But sometimes it's the train-wreck commercials that you just can't stop watching. Here are just a few really (really) bad lawyer commercials that might be so bad that they're actually entertaining.

• Jamie Casino's 2-minute Super Bowl ad in Georgia is epic. It's based on a true story, but how much of this ad is really believable? It doesn't matter because it's probably the best lawyer ad that's ever been on TV. [url]
• Intellectual property lawyers don't usually have memorable ads, but Eric Mirabel's music video about his practice is... somewhat unique (and may not be safe for work, depending on where you work). If you want to file for a patent/trademark/etc... and you like Mirabel's style, it looks like you can't go wrong. [url]
• If you've got some free time, here's a compilation of a bunch of horrible lawyer commercials (with a few other bad local TV ads thrown in). The personal injury lawyer ads are amusing, but some of the divorce lawyer ads... aren't. [url]
