Kids Vs Adults: Prison Around The World
Comparison format + curiosity gap. Zero legal advice, pure watchability.

Rule from Tim's playbook: steal the container and the copy shape, never the source brand's gimmick. No "Get Gordon" cosplay; the formats transfer, the catchphrases do not.

|---|---|---|---|
| Gordon McKernan @getgordon | 41,572 (+42.2k TikTok) | "The eras of G" family surprise: 1.17M views, 128.6k likes | Owns local personality content. His firm-content posts do 2-4k; the FAMILY post did 1.17M. The lesson is the person, not the firm |
| Dudley DeBosier | 15,343 | Office dance floor: 1,463 views | Culture content, community events, Saints partnership. Consistent but modest |
| Spencer Calahan @spencercalahan2323 | 947 (+685 TikTok) | "Pranking our team!": 3,084 views, 349 likes | Their best post is team humor that outran their follower count 3x. Raw material is there; there is just no engine. 1,194 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, nearly invisible online |
| Morris Bart (New Orleans) | 695 | Morris Bart hot sauce: 5,334 views | Legacy TV brand, IG basically dormant |
Gordon McKernan is the only Louisiana injury lawyer doing personality content at scale, and his one family post beat everything every firm in the state posted this year combined. Below him there is nothing: Dudley does culture posts to 15k, Morris Bart is dormant, Spencer Calahan has 947 followers sitting on 1,194 five-star reviews.
1. Attorney-verdict reactions on viral Louisiana clips (the Ugo Lord production line). 2. Team and office humor, which their own data already proves works. 3. Spencer as a person, not a logo (the Gordon lesson). 4. Fear-and-curiosity explainers: what insurers do after a Louisiana wreck. 5. Guess-the-outcome dashcam posts to farm comments. All five are phone-and-edit formats that fit a 14-day sprint.
