The best commercial Shatner ever made…

This has to be the best commercial William Shatner ever made and the funniest – I laughed so hard that it brought tears to my eyes and made my side hurt, I have it bookmarked so I can go back and watch it anytime that I feel down…

I looked in to this–it’s actually a segment from the TV show Boston Legal.

Bam Bam,

I did not know where it came from – but it is still funny, no matter it originated. Don’t you think…

Hank March 14, 2013 at 11:33 am: The source is correct. In the show, Shatner played a wealthy senior partner lawyer who was extremely conservative, opinionated and had an affinity for carrying concealed hand cannons. He commented on these types of criminals as being “scum” and certain prosecutors and judges as “douchebags.” I guess the character hit home too much as they sanitized him significantly in later seasons.

But I agree, this is one of my favorite clips, ever.

My sister originally sent it to me. She went to one of Shatner’s comedy acts and said he is hysterical.

Like Bam-Bam said, “Captain Kirk is a bad ass!”

Yep, it’s a real commercial and a classic that I have to confess, also brings me a smile. I think it ranks right up there with Mickey Dundee’s, “Now that’s a knife” from the original Crocodile Dundee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01NHcTM5IA4)

Shatner is sure a great guy and I love his stuff.
I wonder what would happen if Shatner and the Mayhem guy got together?????

Thank you! I almosted choked on my lunch at work. Laughed out loud. I used to hate old star trek. I have a new respect for the guy & the show.
