* MaliciousSlander: Jimmy's commercials are purposely slandering Mesa Verde, with increasingly ridiculous and heinous charges like giving customers black mold, Wachtell Sr. being a sexual predator, and Mesa Verde deliberately funding terrorism.

* ConvictedByPublicOpinion: Invoked by Saul. His slanderous commercials against Mesa Verde are filled with ridiculous claims against the company by obvious actors with zero evidence to back them up and would be easily disproven in court, but Mesa Verde's reputation would be greatly damaged if they aired, even if the claims in the ads are clearly faked.

* BatmanGambit: The commercials that Jimmy puts together for his meeting with Mesa Verde would definitely damage the bank's reputation if they aired, but the goal of showing them to Kevin seems to be more about annoying and frustrating him into making an actual mistake. When Jimmy pulls out the real secret weapon, a photograph from a local photographer that looks almost identical to the Mesa Verde logo, Kevin is incensed enough to ignore Kim's advice to keep quiet and insist that his father bought a copy of the picture years ago, making it clear that it was the inspiration for the Mesa Verde logo. Of course, the Wachtell's owning a copy of the photograph does not mean they own the rights to it, meaning their use of it in their logo qualifies as copyright infringement. So Jimmy manages to get Kevin to walk right into an admission of grounds for a legitimate lawsuit that should carry far more weight in court than the false and baseless accusations in his commercials, and at the very least will force Kevin to cover up or take down all instances of the logo for the years it will take for the case to play out.

** The gambit also banked on Kim feeling and displaying real raw anger at the realization that he's plowing ahead with his game plan, despite her telling him beforehand to cancel it. That in turn is mean to shield the both of them of any suspicions of conflict of interest from either Rich or Paige.

* EtTuBrute: Kim is NOT pleased when she realizes that Jimmy is going to plow ahead with the blackmail stunt on Kevin Wachtell, despite her telling him not to the night before. And that anger persists into the night after Jimmy and Kevin shake hands.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Clifford Main, during the first two seasons, had been presented as arguably the most straight arrow and moral character to appear in the series thus far. But even he can't help but get a good dig or two in on the judge retiring with his 22 year old clerk along with Howard.

** The words "Mesa Verde" are never spoken in Jimmy's smear commercials, but because their ad and logos are shown, the implication is clear that Mesa Verde is the bank the customers are talking about. Since no direct claims are made, establishing a libel suit is much more difficult.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Kim recounts to Jimmy how her meeting with Kevin went after he agrees to Jimmy's settlement terms, he wants her to put on the imitation again but because she is still angry at how he went off-script on the meeting, she just continues in her regular voice. Jimmy is too ecstatic at the outcome to notice the omission.
