The Super Bowl is like the… Super Bowl of Advertising. While the national audience is treated to online gambling spots and whatever the stupid QR code thing was, local affiliates have their own ad space and that’s where lawyers can produce heartbreaking works of staggering genius.
The Texas Law Hawk cut an ad for Taco Bell one year. Isaacs and Isaacs made a remarkable Game of Thrones homage in 2018. And Jamie Casino ran a two-minute heavy metal action revenge movie narrative back in 2014 that is, deservedly, still the top hit when you search “lawyer super bowl commercial.”

Oh, and in case you were wondering, St. Louis is still not over losing the Rams:
That’s Brown & Crouppen, who’ve made a habit of trolling the Rams during Super Bowl appearances.
