When we were released from captivity and returned to live in Alabama, one of the first things I noticed was a local personal-injury attorney's commercials that ended with the exact same goofy smile and "One call, that's all." His name is Ken Nugent.
Do any of you have the same ads in your area, but with a different attorney? I'm intrigued by the notion of a spiderweb of attorneys all using the same tagline.

I haven't seen any commercials in Denver using that tagline but reading your reply reminded me of a local attorney, Frank Azar who runs awful commercials running the tagline "Call in the strong arm!"
and while searching Youtube for that clip I found another attorney, Brian Loncar in Dallas using the same tagline.
And also your post about people using their kids in commercials reminds me of The Mattress King ads around here. For years they have been using the young son in the ad, usually having him dressed up or acting like a complete dork. He is probably about 15 now still doing those ads and I can't help but feel sorry for him, I have to imagine he gets his ass kicked at school on a daily basis.
