*:* Having said that, the Blue Haired Lawyer is one of the few examples on this list to be ''truly'' amoral. He's even argued on the Simpson family's behalf a few times, mostly after Lionel Hutz (see below) could no longer appear on the show.
*:* On the other hand, the [[Author Existence Failure|sadly now retired]] character Lionel Hutz is an ''incompetent'' example of this trope, often put up against the Blue-Haired Lawyer and rarely winning unless he's lucky.
*:* "When will you humans learn that ''feelings'', as you call them, can get in the way of big cash pay offs? Bwahahahaha!"

* Another less-than-competent example is Kyle Broslovski's lawyer father, Gerald, who nonetheless proceeds to help Eric Cartman and a number of other ''[[South Park]]'' children bankrupt the local school system through a series of [[Frivolous Lawsuit|frivolous sexual harassment lawsuits]], the money from which he uses to build a huge mansion for his family. Despite this, Gerald is often portrayed as a competent lawyer, even in this episode.
** As South Park tends to do, though, the treatment of lawyers is surprisingly fair. They're in it for the money, not [[For the Evulz]], and when the good guys can scrape together the cash, [[South Park]]!Johnny Cochrane uses his [[Chewbacca Defense]] for them instead.
