Happy New Year From A Slimy Divorce Lawyer

thumbnail icon: Happy New Year From A Slimy Divorce Lawyer

Some lawyer in Seattle made a special local commercial just for holiday/New Year divorces. I think the first rule of commercial-making should be "Don't advertise that you will help ruin someone's New Year." Also, the people who are supposed to be in need of Gallagher, Esq.'s services are, like, mean slobs? Hey Mike, they're supposed to represent your clients:

HOWEVER, it is amazing that this is how the screenwriter of this "dramatization" (ha) thinks couples have a fight:

Woman: "Whatever."
Man: "Whatever."

...and scene! It's like The War Of The Roses Part 2. (Via The Soup blog.)

The slow motion phone grab really emphasizes how much the couple needs to divorce.

WHATever.

A commercial within a commercial? Whoever made this is obviously the Michael Gondry of crappy local commercial directors.

any commercial containing the phrase, "call the law offices of..." is guaranteed to be top notch unintentional comedy.

This advert is so cheesy and fake, I can’t believe they still make them like this, sad thing is it must work. People shouldn’t be encouraging divorce; they should grow some morality and instead offer marital help.
