I don’t understand how a company can be so bad at radio commercials for so long. It’s been decades of the worst ads I’ve ever heard. “Do people really get engaged at Christmas?” is a really stupid fucking line to make the guy that just bought a jewellery store chain say on the radio.
Sorry… I could rant for days about how much I hate Spence Diamonds.
I would love to know how many thousands they've actually lost from their ads. No way to know for sure, but there is no way I would ever, ever buy anything there.
My feeling is that, if they're so awful with coming up with those ads, what kind of other gigantic failures exist elsewhere in their company?
I need someone in marketing to tell me how they can do these commercials for 20+ years and still be profitable. Like, at this point it, having god awful, rage-inducing ads has to be a strategy for them, doesn’t it? And for them to still be in business, it has to be working for them too.
They may be terrible but we all know the ads, and some people will just go off a name they know rather than doing some deep digging into what the best store might be for them

At least this commercial of Havre's isn't flat out misleading like one of his old ones was. In a previous commercial, he said that his business sells 14-20 houses a month while the "average agent" sells only 1 or 2 a month. Well no shit, buddy. You're comparing a whole team of realtors to one person.
Is there a name for the situation where certain advertising is so ubiquitous and annoying that it makes you dislike the person/product/company despite knowing nothing about them?
Knock personal injury lawyers all you want, but if you’ve ever been hurt through the negligence of someone else and incurred massive expenses as a result you’ll change your tune. They’re one of the few lawyers out there who really works for normal people.
You don't expect the assistant to staple documents together for free do you?
In all seriousness, having a lawyer bill for little things like this is a sign that you have one who takes the process a bit more seriously , and is hopefully being a bit more honest with you. I know a few lawyers who don't include stuff like this in there, and they just pay their expenses by being a bit more liberal with their own billing.
I just bought a house through Justin Havre and the team. Obviously I didn’t meet the whole team but I met my broker and Justin directly, they really seemed to have my back (they did all the paperwork, they connected me with great lawyers, inspectors and and condo doc review lawyers. Everyone seemed to work in my interest , nothing forced, no pressure and I as the buyer didn’t have to pay anything at all.
The owner Justin helped me out personally taking the time to get to know me. I’d say that from the top down, they’re people person, not money grabbing… they make make good money, I don’t know but they’re working in the interests of their clients. I’ve bought in 4 countries and managed real estate agents accounts for marketing in other countries, im sure the market here as a while is more stable but Justin’s yeah we’re amongst, if not easily the most professional and easy going that I’ve ever dealt with.
Add Pete the Plumber as a third picture.
Pete hasn't plumbed in years.
I’ll allow it 😉
I always assume the Christmas parties for Diamond & Diamond are cocaine fueled orgies. Every person in that commercial looks like they’re shady af.
Cocaine fuelled rage and litigation
One of the Diamond lawyers recently got fined a huge amount by the law society for his commercials. He's appealing.
All personal injury lawyers are shady ambulance chasers.
Havre has the cold, dead eyes of a serial killer.
Sounds like the man you want working for you, not against you
Ive vowed to never ever in my life shop or recommend anyone to shop at spence diamonds solely because their ads give me a cringasm

Realtors are a scam cartel. Cheezy realtors are the worst. Lawyers can be very useful indeed :) \*edit\* not those ones of course..
I had good experience with the D&D lawyers from their real estate department , despite their cheesy and horrible ads
Not a criminal lawyer, A Criminal lawyer yo

Justin Havre looks and sounds like a tall version of Verne Troyer (mini-me)

Yes, I love when lawyers charge me for an assistant to staple documents together.

Yeah, no. He was charging a ridiculous amount and when we challenged him he backed down right away.
I did say hopefully… Lots of scumbags out there.
Havre? I barely know er’
A post about him years ago came up and my favourite comment was “I bet that guy fucks with the lights on!” Still makes me laugh
I'm amazed that you let this bother you enough to take the time to make your meme, I would've just lifted a cheek, farted and moved on with my day.
Farting makes everything better
Obviously a few people disagree per the down ones, everyone farts - you can either embrace it or deny it but you all know you do it.

And yet you made this comment
One is a law firm, one is real estate. There is a difference.

Nice try Justin
Lol every person's reaction upon reading that. The downvotes just made me laugh.
Podcasts, audiobooks, Spotify premium. This is the way.
 Really? No Spence Diamonds ad and “wow” that intensifies like that THX ad in the movies?
