Personal Injury Attorney & Other Ads
Phillip Dampier:
Hurt in a car accident?
Employer make you work with unsafe equipment?
Slip and fall?
Mesothelioma?
It seems just about every day, the personal injury lawyers are buying up every second of daytime television advertising with wild ads showing your payday is on the way.
It has literally gotten so bad we have ads showing MILLION DOLLAR LUNGS!!! Hurt in a car? Call William Mattar!!! And of course lots of beeping sounds, pictures of explosions followed by showers of dollar bills and happy litigants saying "I got my check" or literally, "I need to get paid today!"
The biggest problem with these attorneys is that they are big on the quick first-offer settlements and rarely, if ever, see the inside of a courtroom. So while a ton of questionable litigants file in to "get paid," the poor folks actually injured end up with attorneys that won't really get them what they need because they are looking for a quick settlement and on to the next case.
And television execs wonder why I record everything and fast forward over all commercial ads.
Phillip Dampier:
The most infamous ad of all time for me aired in the 1970s and I'll never forget it (which probably makes the creators very happy). It was for a deodorant called Tickle and featured scantily-clad girls playing volleyball or running errands doing nothing but giggling. That was it. It drove me crazy.
Ray:
We had an ad here for toothpaste and it featured a woman with bright red lipstick who, during the entire length of the commercial, ran the tip of her tongue around her teeth in a way that was totally plagerised from deep throat. It made me gag, and I always twitch when I see that brand on the shelves.
