The Texas Law Hawk has returned with another excellent commercial in which he leaps off a ramp in a jet ski, throws an anchor at police in a pedalo and explodes some dynamite.
The US lawyer, also known as Bryan Wilson, has previously failed to break the branch of a tree on a low concrete wall, jumped gingerly from a slowly-moving vehicle and ridden a small motorbike. Now he's applied his considerable stuntman chops to a reimagining of Waterworld, featuring a dwarf.
The ad begins with a dreaming Law Hawk plagued by lawyers who are furious at his light-hearted take on the law, bellowing "Is he even a real lawyer?", "I didn't go to clown school, I joined a profession!" and "He is ruining the practice of law!"
Wilson wakes and a reverse explosion immediately reassures viewers that his detractors have not succeeded in muzzling the Law Hawk.
Smash-cut to a screaming hawk and Wilson yelling "Bryan WIlson, Texas Law Hawk" on a roof.
Then things get strange, with a policeman chewing what at first appears to be poo, but which is surely chewing tobacco, and pitching a baseball to Wilson. He nails it.
In classic Law Hawk-style, three uncomfortable-looking women in bikinis and a fat man suddenly appear, dancing awkwardly on a speedboat in a pond.
They are interrupted by two police officers on a fan-assisted pedalo, who yell abuse at the chubby raver and order him to take an intoxication text. Which seems reasonable in the circumstances, but instead he calls Law Hawk for advice.
Wilson pulls out all the stops to get to his client and nearly kills himself shooting off a ramp in a jet ski and crashing into the lake.
Happily he survives, and throws a paper mâché anchor at the poor man's Tyrion and Simon Pegg.
Before lobbing a stick of dynamite over his shoulder.
Genius adman Wilson has already clocked up over 125,000 views for his knowingly low-rent ad, and will presumably be well-rewarded by obese Texans calling him whenever they're badgered by figments of their drug-addled imaginations.
Speaking to RollOnFriday, The Law Hawk said, "A lot of my insane ideas usually end up really expensive, so I'm thinking about crowdfunding a few after I get approval from the state ethics committee", and mused that if it works out, "Maybe I'll crash a Lamborghini into a wall".
Asked if he was ever injured, Wilson said "Luckily, I have no broken bones. But I definitely get hurt every time we film. The jet ski stunt was very dangerous, probably the most dangerous stunt I've ever done". Thankfully it appears to be worth it: "In fact, while answering these questions in jail (waiting to see a client), I had a guy recognise me and ask for a card. He loved the commercials".
