Jim "The Hammer" Shapiro video # 2

The second of 5 Shapiro vids found here: http://shark.armchair.mb.ca/scissors/rochester.html

This is an early ad, featuring a Shapiro that is starting to get slightly more aggressive.

He was a lawyer from Rochester, NY. His ads were widely seen throughout the eastern United States and Canada in the early to mid 90's. There is a good write-up on him at Wikipedia that explains a lot (found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shapiro).

He said "for the survivors of those they kill." So once a drunk kills someone, their victim then goes on a killing spree? I love how he calls himself a "smart lawyer," and then says something that makes no sense at all. XD

[Ripplin]

Well, what he meant (and should have said!) would be like it's written in an obituary, when it says '[so-and-so] is survived by his son, Daniel, wife Helen, etc...' :p

What it means is that the surviving relatives would go on the killing spree, and I guess he's willing to help them? Haha.

If anyone can find this Xmas season ad, it was perhaps the best this guy did. My favorite part of this one is the animated kid getting him by the car...

[Ripplin]

Can't remember an Xmas ad, but I'm sure I saw it.

Remember when Jim stopped doing the ads and they got a surly old man instead? He was certainly more intimidating, but not nearly as entertaining. :P

I sue lawyers who don't work where they're suppsed to.

[CelesteK]

It's too bad he wasn't smart enough to actually practice in Rochester. LOL!!!

[NateTelevision]

Huh. I guess this was the "pre-Hammer" era.

[LightningChimp]

He secretly cries at long distance commercials.

[JerryRickshaw]

Jim Shapiro....I do drugs.

[Femalejuggalo316]

"IM A NASTY SOB!!!" lmao

[SageOftheSubway]

The tough, smart lawyer - as opposed to the candy-assed shit-for-brains lawyer.
