The television equivalent of vi@gra spam

When I go home from lunch I’m amazed how the commercials are always lowest common denominator stuff.

Personal injury lawyers - Target audience: Anyone looking to launch a frivolous lawsuit. Sleazy goateed lawyer, “I may not look like a lawyer, but it helps me sneak up on them.”
Various “institutes” like ITT Tech - Target audience: The future medical transcriptionist, paralegal, or electronic repairman who makes education decisions based on television commercials.
Patent your invention! - Target audience: Suckers and dreamers with big get rich quick ideas. These patent businesses are usually scams. This inventor I heard on NPR said it’s a lot more important to get your product to market.

Injured? Turn that wreck into a check! I'll fight for your rights! Hehehe I had to specifically promise my father I wouldn't become a PI attorney. I think he is going to hold me to that promise also.

Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer.
Bart: A thousand dollars. But your ad says "no money down".
Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up. [Writes on the ad to change "Works On Contingency. No Money Down" to "Works On Contingency? No! Money Down!"]
Bart: So you don't work on a contingency basis?
Hutz: No! Money down! Oops, I shouldn't have the Bar Association logo here either. [Hutz then literally eats the ad]
