One of the most underrated films of 2010 was the legal thriller called “The Lincoln Lawyer” starring actor Matthew McConaughey. The actor was at the top of his game as a lawyer who works out of the back seat of his Lincoln town car as his chauffer drives him between clients.
McConaughey has a blend of swagger, confidence, and pragmatism that was impressive to say the least. It is then no mystery why he’s appeared in Lincoln commercials as of late to promote their latest models featuring a wi-fi navigation assistant. That said, people who have not seen “The Lincoln Lawyer” may not get all of the innuendo displayed in the commercials.
One of them may be comedienne Ellen DeGeneres. She asked her audience if any of them had seen the commercial. Most of the audience affirmed they had. She then added that the commercial has left her with questions, but the salient one was why she was edited out. After airing the original commercial, she played the unedited version of the commercial which also featured her.
As McConaughey sits in the driver’s seat of his idle car with a bull blocking the road, DeGeneres is in the backseat eating brownies. She can’t seem to get enough of them. Eventually, she tells McConaughey that she needs to get home by 5:00PM for dinner.
He responds back, “I can respect that.” She finally tires of the background music and switches it to a hip hop song as the car turns around and heads the long way home.
