Using 3L Free Time Productively: Making Funny Videos

George Washington students have created a series of YouTube videos riffing on the Bud Light Real Men commercials. Best in the law-student-mocking series is “Guy who asks about summer jobs”:

Our favorite line: “Public interest is for gays and hippies.”

To see more of the Real Men of Law School videos, check out the TaxProf Blog.

Using 3L time productively at GW would be applying to other grad schools.

"Public interest is for gays and hippies."

A joke, but based on an observable truth.

10:52 - GW is notorious for having a bigger class than its prestige will support. GW is made up of haves and have-nots. Instead of having a 500 person class where 200 work in big law, 50 find other careers that they want to work, and the remaining 250 are bitter pissed off temps, they should only admit 250-300. GW is a good school, but it's essentially a JD factory.

All of these videos come from our annual Law Revue show (yes, we're quite aware of the irony in the homophone). In addition to the videos, we also put on a stage show, with a cast of about 50 students. Go to You Tube and search "GW Law Revue" if you'd like to see more. I particularly recommend the Sally Struthers video!

Wow, 12:19...well done on that homophone usage. Very witty! Oh, and thanks for explaining that you are aware of the irony.

The good news for you is that everyone else is aware of it to...here is why (drumroll please)...EVERY LAW SCHOOL HAS A LAW REVUE...and get this...THEY ALL CALL IT LAW REVUE...and...wait for it...THEY ALL DO IT BECAUSE OF THE IRONY IN THE HOMOPHONE.

You're presence at GW and the fact that you haven't failed out underscores the fact that your law school admits blithering morons. This is not to say that all students at GW are blithering morons. However, clearly, there is at least one there right now.

Remember 2Ls - when you write an email to other associates, partners or clients, always re-read the email and spell check (though spellcheck is not a substitute).

Spelling errors below:

The good news for you is that everyone else is aware of it to...

should be:

The good news for you is that everyone else is aware of it too...


You're presence at GW

should be:

Hey y'all I recognize this "GW really is a TTT" fellow. We cut him from the show this year. Listen man I'm really sorry but hang in there. We have a spot for you next year as "Guy who is so insecure that he posts embarassingly sad comments on above the law...oh yeah...and he's still not getting any."

I think its fair to say that if you use the term "TTT" or correct someone's spelling on this blog you probably have, at the most, one friend.

1) The term TTT is thrown around on this blog the way Eliot Spitzer throws money at prostitutes (rather frequently and more often than advisable).

2) The same goes for spelling/grammer corrections.

3) Well done 2:26.

4) Most people who post on this blog have one friend, maybe...and that friend is TTT.

Only TTT law firms who hire TTT students from TTT schools give out TTT fleeces. HTH, TTT.

It's kind of funny to see what's going down on this thread:

It's a bunch of people who have obviously never been to ATL and are shocked (SHOCKED!) to see such negativity directed at a school even a Hoya would admit is not a TTT

vs.

The bunch of ATL regulars who are motivated by a strange mix of bitterness/love of trolling/whiskey.

It's these kind of interactions that bring me here every day.

I'd replace whiskey with scotch (single malt). Other than that, your post is spot on.

45 Posted by whisketeer | Permalink Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:22 PM

Single malt scotch is whiskey.

46 Posted by You must be new here... | Permalink Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:35 PM

"Single malt scotch is whiskey."

Yes, but so it double-malt, bourbon, a $5-a-half-gallon-jug-quasi-gasoline, or any other type of whiskey. I was adding specificity to the type of drink.

Actually, single malt scotch is whisky, not whiskey.

To all GW Law haters:
First of all, half of the GW Law students didn't even apply to Georgetown because they heard about the massive student population of pretentious jerks. Secondly, not only do GW Law students have intelligence, but they also have a thing called social skills. So while those who think they are too good for GW Law are stuck sitting in a back room somewhere because no attorney would EVER let them come into contact with a client, we will be handling all of the litigation. That's right, YOU will be doing OUR research. Have fun with the box-filled rooms of paperwork!

P.S. Sadly, you may not even be good at research...GW Law is a First Tier school, not a "TTT" :)
