I'm sorry, was that supposed to be amusing in some way?

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

You're toeing the line with those periods in your last sentence Elie. I'm watching...

Haha that's pretty good

Boring.

Maybe they would have a better chance of getting a job if they used their time to study and not make unfunny videos. Just a thought.

Also, you would think with all those in-person interviews, Northwestern would have found some people with decent personalities.

I'm thinking all the folks who jumped at the new 2 year program are wishing they had another year to wait out the market.

A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else's?

9,

you are soooo right LOL!!!!

That lasted about ten seconds too long. Less dialogue, and should not have done the wave. The kick was good enough; channeled the parrot sketch.

Watch this "No Job Blues" music video made by the Assault & Flattery Student Organization at University of Texas Law School.

I know the singer. He's a great guy -and he actually needs a job.

Wow, you know yourself?

I am not the singer.

Sixteenth!

The collapse of the legal profession will thankfully free talent like this from the allure of legal lucre. Sing and dance young men! The world needs your art.

"Use your acting" - proverb

The one on the right looks just like my son (recently deceased)!!!!

that tall guy's so biglaw!
hth.

8, the NU interviews are pretty pointless. The adcom asked me a bunch of stock questions, the answers to which were in my admissions packet. Then she gave me a pamphlet and encouraged me to take a "self-guided tour." I'm really not sure why they bother. It was good practice for OCI, though.

Congratulations ATL for posting the most unentertaining short film I have ever seen. Short films are by their nature kitschy and irrelevant, but this one takes the cake.

Part of me thinks you want the economy to fail, you need the economy to fail, so you'll post anything that supports your "sinking ship" message. Anything.

3L at Northwestern? I thought they were just a two-year program.

you people need to get a life. The video was funny in a not so funny way. Spoof off the Mac vs PC.

The mariachi was ok but godDAMN are we a lame profession. Fucking dentists are hipper and funnier than us.

That......was.......fun...neee.

Nom Nom Nom

More GRAPES!!

Please, all you haters, that was funny. Though I wonder if a group of stressed-out biglaw and biglaw roadies in the middle of a recession would think anything was funny.

21 -- that's right... ATL is behind the collapse of global financial markets - anything that is posted on this blog is part of ATL's struggle for world domination

What kind of fool are you? The economy IS in the crapper -- wake up and smell the unemployment

The Market will provide.

26 wins.

That dealbreaker ad is so stupid. Bess probably let one of her d-bag undergrad friends do it. Typical.

Stupid stupid stupid - - slow news day?

NorthwesTTTern

This would never happen at Harvard. Good thing my firm doesn't even recruit from Northwestern. I mean, its a fine vocational school, but honestly, get real.

even my posts are funny compared to this video.

*pats self on back for not being the most unfunny 1L*

-nervous T-10 1L
soon to be nervous 1L sa

I <3 Miss Dealbreaker

Havard Magna V5 Stud is the new Nervous T10 1L

I always wonder what a "chump" was. Question answered.

That 1L could pass for a 55 year old senior partner.

12 nailed it. Too long. Didn't need arm-waving part. Otherwise, not bad.

Lame, most law revue videos are better, post those.

28 - How could you read 21's post and come to that conclusion? Online media loves the recession and wants the panic to continue.

Good effort Northwestern, but how about something a bit more timely? Maybe a Monica Lewinsky joke, or a "Where's the Beef" spoof?

Thanks, 26...needed that...

I'm Ron Burgundy. Go fuck yourself, Northwestern.

I'm going to solve the housing crisis by doing away with the mortgage interest deduction!

YES WE CAN!!!

Bearded Guy should eat a dick. And Tall Guy, you stink. I hope you don't show up at my shop, you worthless fucktard.

Exhibit 412 why Northwestern kids are useless mopes.

OCEANS RISE

CITIES FALL

NORTHWESTERN REMAINS FULL OF ASPBERGERS

Mildly amusing.

But then again, I find fart jokes amusing.

Hell, who am I kidding, I find farting amusing!

Ooooh, a video from someone else's lawschool... Hey everyone, look at this bunch of unfunny douchebags! (I hope snarky remarks hurt them in the rankings.)

Northwestern has a law school? Who'dathunkit? Anyway I hope they have a truck driving / commercial operator school so those poor mouthbreathers can have a chance at a decent job.

It's "aspergers," Ass Burger.

You are a funny motherfucker.

You want to come over to my apt. and hang out?

oh my GOD that was not funny.
i'm embarrassed to have that video represent my school.

This is pretty good - contemporary Law Revue shows at CLS are god awful.

Patently unfunny. Poorly acted, too long, not especially clever and horrid production value. Isn't Chicago supposed to the home of American comedy? (Not UChicago where fun goes to die, mind you, the city of.)

Not. Funny.

No wonder all you dimwits are getting laid off and not getting offers. That was about as entertaining as my left foot.

hahahaha

I didn't watch it. I just wanted to read the comments.

Hilarious! ;-)

Hilarious! ;-)

34,

I turned your firm down for a gov't job. You are median and nothing more.

ATL: Beyond Thunderdome, a script

scene begins. [Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" plays as we find ourselves inside a mercedes].

we see the driver's hand, skinny, pale, calloused from gripping a leather-wrapped steering wheel since the age of 16. In the passenger seat lies a tattered bag on which the words "law school" can faintly be seen. The driver reaches one hand in and pulls out a worn, decaying offer letter from a many-decades-now-defunct law firm. The driver sighs, crumples the letter and throws it in the back seat, where it lands on a US News and World Report Guide to the Best Graduate Schools, open to the law Best Law Schools page. The driver opens up the sun roof and we pan out to see that he is not alone; there are dozens of mercedes and lexuses driving down this lonesome stretch of highway. As the camera pans out further, we see the shell of an old building, and the remnants of what used to be New York, or is it Chicago? or is it LA? The driver pulls out his iPhone and sends a one-word mass text to everyone in his address book: "ATL." Jump cut to five different drivers: all white, a bit pale, but well-dressed and all possessing an extreme air of self-importance; some of them are wearing seersucker and pink polo shirts. They all nod knowingly.

The music fades and a narrator's voice begins:
"It all began with the economy. First the firms collapsed in on themselves, then it was the law schools. Lawyers wandered the streets, clutching their diplomas, begging passersby to tell them they were important....but no one did. They tried to find mates, but could find none. "Law School hot" meant nothing to these commoners; society had reverted to its pre-lawyer equilibrium and the attorneys were now returned to the societal position of their adolescence..

The lawyers were ignored: it was just like high school, and college. The dark times. Knowing there was nothing left for them in these cities, the lawyers set out to find a place where they could re-settle and create a new, more boring, arrogant and ugly society. Rumor had spread amongst the lawyers of a place, deep in the desert of self-absorption; a place where people still cared about their law school rankings, their former salaries and the other mundane aspects of their shallow lives; a place where the words "second-tier" still stung. They had to go, it was their only hope.

There was only one thing....if they went there, each of them would have to battle each other in a place called the Thunderdome, with only their laptops and limited wit. To win a battle in thunderdome would ensure their place in society, allowing them to lord over everyone else. To lose would be death, or at least a return to their parents subdivision and perhaps a downgrade to an entry-level BMW. It was a gamble, but one they were willing to take if the culture of superiority was to survive lawpocalypse.

too long. didn't read it.

your pal,

These guys oughta go out and get some poon tang.

Agreed, If these guys could go out and get laid, we could get the low-down in a video; i.e., hey, I got laid off; well so did I, but I got laid too.

Everyone making vicious comments deserves to be laid off. These kids are just trying to have a good time. Lighten the Fuck up!

66 -

well, you missed out. That was well written and entertaining. 9/10.

Oh, little ones, this is merely a preview. NU's Wigmore Follies is consistently one of the most hilarious and well-run law revues out there. Unfortunately, you can only find one season on youtube. My personal favorite: Back to the Follies.

Rock on, NU. Rock on.

that is funny shit, who cares what you people say. Yeah i said it, you people.

This is a shame, because Wigmore Follies has been consistently impressive for many years at NULS. I went for the free beer my first year and was blown away. Never missed a show. It's always the first weekend in April, so this video must be some kind of prelude. I'm sure the actual show will be much, much better than this. They should post some of the song and dance numbers from last year's show.

--65--

Pretty funny

65 and others,

I constantly get the vibe on these comments that lawyers & law students were all social pariahs before law school. The odd thing is that they believe that law school suddenly makes them cool because they have a graduate degree. Meanwhile, the well-adjusted lawyers liked by our peers during our youth & able to get laid without implying we intended on being rich some day are clumped in with all of you losers. Is it that rare to find people who are able to balance fun & goals?
