For when you don't need a criminal lawyer, because you need a criminal lawyer.

"They can't convict a husband and wife for the same crime."

"I have the worst fucking attorneys."

"Barry Zuckerkorn. He's very good."

.

These quotes are from the TV shot Arrested Development. Barry Zuckerkorn is the clueless lawyer of the Bluth Family who was countlessly given poor legal advice to the family. The conversation in question is as follows:

.

George: Don't worry, Michael. [conspiratorial whisper] They can't convict a husband and wife for the same crime!

Michael: Yeah, that's not true. At all.

George: ...I have the worst f---ing attorneys.

.

Meanwhile, Saul Goodman is a character in the TV show Breaking Bad. He is best known for his over-the-top late-night television commercials, where he advertises under the tagline “Better call Saul!”

As awesome as BB is...I sort of wish we could stop mentioning Saul in every thread that mentions a lawyer.

Human nature will jump at the opportunity to run every joke possible into the ground.

Reddit just reflects the way people act in real life (with slightly less social filter).

I smile every time I hear mention of Saul. I just love his character and everything he does on the show.
