Silly Lawyers

Alright, if you've ever turned on a TV before, then I'm sure you've seen one of the lawyers' commercials that are like "If you got Hepatitis B, give us a call. We'll sue that prostitute for everything she's worth" [or something like that...]

Well anyways, I was watching a show the other day, and an ad came on with some [I'm pretty sure they were] mesothelioma lawyers, and they said something like "If you have been exposed to asbestos and it has led to injury or death, give us a call..." ...wow. These guys are lawyers, right? I can't believe they said that.

So what are some of the worst [or best] commercials you guys have seen?

Oh, and I messed around with the layout a little bit... What do you guys think?

  1. Well the most stupid commercials on our televisions are usually the ones taken from German tv's. When translated to our language they are so stupid. One that strikes me every time is a washing powder.

    So this woman is in front of a shelf/lane in a supermarket. Another woman comes and says, you surely must be seeking for softly, then she looks at the shelf and yet again every single item on the lane is softly.

    It just frustrates me!

  3. the family is allowed to sue on behalf of the deceased i suppose. or whoever the power of attorney is.

    they could have worded it better for their commercial, but i think that's what they were getting at.

  5. We never really get ads like that in Australia...but the system is packed with slip and fall cases...so maybe they should advertise over here :\

    Also,my fav commercials have to be superbowl ones...not just because of the high production values but because some are actually funny.

    If all else fails,its six flags guy :D

  9. My best commercial was: In the late night there are some of those 'call me now I'm horny' advertisings and so there were some nude girls dancing around and when they came to say:'call me...' The ad was interrupted and a guy in a suit said: Stop you should rather call your girlfriend with fonic! So it actually was a phone commercial! Awesome!

  11. I think if you have a family member who died from exposure you are supposed to call.

  12. yeah i get that [a family member calling if dead] but i still find it humorous how they phrased it lol, especially with the irony that they're lawyers and everything...

  13. I like how all of the ambulance chaser commercials are like, "Have you gotten in an accident? Call me! I'll make them pay out the nose!"

    Accidents are called accidents for a reason. Yeah, if some girl's texting and trashes my car, I'd be pissed. But if someone just made a slip up and hit you, does that mean you're entitled to have a lawyer ruin them financially for life? Sickening.

  14. Funniest commercial. Geico with the drill sergent therapist. That is all people really need.

  15. Yeah, that ad could've been worded better :P I don't think you really hear law firms advertising much on the telly. Might hear em on the radio though.

    Btw, the background is a little dark especially against the black text. It could stand to be just a tiiiiny bit lighter :)
