boomersmommy, right there with you. Man. He goes slap. OFF on a male who isn't taking care of business. And nobody can even think of getting a word in edgewise.

That was them. The thing was, they kept mouthing off to each other. If it were Judge Judy's court they wouldn't have had all those exchanges. Sometimes I think Joe's too lax.

Bump.

I love Judge Joe. It would be so nice if he could go home with each and every one of my students and go off on either them, or their parents, and straighten up a few things.

I have healthy respect for Miss Holly. Judging from her well-defined arm muscles, she could snap a snotty defendant/plaintiff like a twig.

IIRC, Joe Brown is the only television judge who also actively serves in real life. He holds down a bench here in Memphis.

This was years ago, but an episode has turned into a massive running joke. A Latino defendent kept challenging his accuser in a thick accent. "Don't call me a liar, man. Don't call my wife a liar." And so on. Part of me worries it might be a tad racist, but there's nothing more fun than shouting to my friends in a thick accent: "Don't call me a liar, man!"

Judge Joe is the man.
The mother/daughter litigants broke my heart. The girl was soooo obviously crying out for her mother's love and all mama cared about was the dollar. Judge Joe hit the nail on the head when he said the mama resented the daughter because she was a reminder of the things she missed out on. And unlike a certain bat faced judge named Judy, he offered counseling to help fix the relationship.

Plus for an older dude, Judge Joe is a cutie pie.

Although I am waiting for him to find the first litigant of the new season that he can declare "pitiful!"

I just went back to work after being on medical leave for over a month. What did I do in that month? Get hooked on Judge Joe Brown.

I thought the case with the soldier and the thief sister was just sad. First the poor man comes home from serving his country to find his bank account emptied out and then he has to be told on national television that his sister screwed him over.

I felt terrible for the soldier (was he a Marine?) too. He was so good at hiding his emotions I was afraid he didn't get it, but when he said post-show that he needed to have a talk with his sister, I felt better. But just a bit, 'cause she's a grade-A bitch to do that to him. I hope Judge Joe arranged for some counseling for him. I can't imagine being betrayed like that by a family member.

OMG! Did anyone else catch today's episode. I was laughing the entire time. I swear these had to be the funniest, wackiest people ever on this show. When the plaintiff dumped the cup of water on his witness, it was hilarious and the defendant was just a nut! I'm sure Judge Joe had to change clothes afterwards because he probably pissed his pants laughing so hard.

I was coming in here to post about that, squirrleyQ! That was fucking awesome! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard during a court show.

I was laughing so much that I missed bits and pieces. What was the plaintiff demonstrating when he dumped the glass of water? It looked to me (as I was wiping tears from my eyes) as if he'd intended to do it, but the witness sure seemed surprised so I'm probably wrong.

He was demonstrating the defendant's actions on a particular day. He intended to make the guesture and pretend to spill water. Poor boy got a little excited.

Oh lordy... I'm getting the giggles again just thinking about it.

Thanks SnowDog! I especially loved how he immediately started wiping down her boobs with his bare hands, and the look of shock on her face was priceless.

I hate to double post but editing wasn't bumping this to the first page, so here goes:

Late-breaking news my ass, I hate FOX so much. I missed the verdict in the case with the vicious woman-hating macaw and the poor dead parakeets. Can anyone tell me what happened?

The plaintiff and his mother were visbly broken up when they heard the news about the parakeets. Judge Joe Brown then awarded the defendant $500 for her time and trouble (which ticked her off, she wanted a lot more) and returned the mean bird back to his original owner.

It was a hoot when the defendant tried to bargain for a few extra bucks and/or the bird cage and perch. When JJB sensibly asked her where the macaw was supposed to live, she retorted that it was the plaintiff's problem. Lost her quite a bit of sympathy points, and JJB looked like he was either going to burst out laughing or have Miss Holly toss the whole lot of them out of there.

Thanks Sloth on Speed! Wow, any sympathy I had for the defendant went right out the window. She refused to finish paying for the birds, killed the parakeets (I know, she didn't technically kill them, but still), actually GOT money, and then wanted to keep the empty cage?!? Unbelievable. Maybe that macaw was just a good judge of character.

I loved how the macaw starting laughing and JJB was joking about charging it with contempt of court.

the witness and the water episode rocked, that was funny as hell! i like judge joe, he is the epitomy of what a real man should be.. id vote for him to be president...hes far more sensible than most.

Yeesh. The women in the trailer rent case were a little on the fug side. The plaintiff's shirt looked like it belonged on a 6' 5" man (hell, one of the lapels was as big as her head) and the defendant had a scary-ass mole. I'd get that removed if I were her!

Favorite quotes from a JJB case:

JJB: Have you heard of the First Amendment?
Dumb-ass Litigant: Yes, of course.
JJB: And what does it say?
DaL: Um, I don't really know, I've just heard of it.

Hee. I enjoyed that too. I dig JJB because he's constantly giving people a smack in the face for being morons and giving way more than the limit allows by splitting them up into seperate incidents. I love that! He cracks me up sometimes.

I love it when he busts out the rhymes.

Judge Judy is my favorite, but I do adore my Judge Joe Brown.

HEY!!

I thought my JJB love was my private, dirty little secret......glad to know there are others with me.....

A few weeks ago, there was an episode about JJB righting a judicial wrong.....some custody/child support case from Memphis that he was re-trying.

Anyone know how it turned out??

It had something to do with a vehicle being handed over by a court clerk to the woman who was seeking child support. Great idea in theory, but the vehicle didn't belong to the dead-beat dad, it belonged to his girlfriend.

I think JJB awarded the woman whose vehicle was taken a large sum of money from his own pocket.

Okay! See, the case with the woman suing the 32-year-old fool who didn't have a driver's license and who busted up her car? I really wanted someone--anyone--to beat him shitless. In a real court, his tired, tiiiiiiired ass would have been back in the pokey where he belongs. "Racial profiling?" Fool! Yo' ass don't have a job, you don't have a driver's license, and then you have the temerity to tell JJB that it's your ex's duty to provide you with transportation? JJB calling him a thug wasn't racial profiling--unless (and this is likely true in the Moron's case) he believes that all black folk are thuggish fools who can't get driver's licenses. And THEN he cursed out the judge? Please. He really needed his ass beat.

And I would be happy to provide that service, gratis. Or free, whichever.

How sad is it that I save up all my JJB shows during the week so I can have a DVR fest on Saturday morning?

I cannot believe that man-boy called JJB a fool, a bitch, and an asshole. He had to be mentally unstable in addition to being ignorant and stupid.

You know?? I was like, "See, that bailiff ain't gonna do nothing--I hope she knows some judo or something, cause he needs to be put down!" I did love how JJB told him about real power.

Dude! I'm glad someone else commented on this guy because my mouth was dropping open at this guy cursing out Judge Joe. He had to be on drugs or something cause you just don't do that!

I'd love to see Miss Holly in action. She looks like she works out. She would've snapped that idiot in two if it weren't illegal.

I really would have liked to see Miss Holly kick that fool's ass. I would have made my day. Do we really need his DNA in the gene pool? I think not.

Will some kind soul who saw yesterday's episode elaborate on the case with the triple amputee being sued for assault? I happened to land on the show about 3/4 of the way before it finished. Normally, I don't watch the show -- but couldn't turn it off when I saw the woman was suing a triple amputee for what appeared to be blunt force trauma to the face. How did that happen?!

Sorry, missed that one. Set your DVR for today, though, because there's gonna be some BigEarredLug appearing, and I'm pretty sure things won't go well for this guy. Looks like it hasn't so far.....

"The dog might have been paralyzed, but it could still run around" - That's my new favorite quote.

Ha!! That was one scarily clueless dog owner. "He could have fixed that dog!!" On top of everything else, that poor CatDog has to worry about forced sterilization?

Loved the other case....let me know if anyone would mind if I moved into your place for 8 months with my man, only one kid, 3 dogs and a cat? I'll bring the shrimps, but I won't pay no rent. Call me!!

I think you mean "skrimps"

My brother always says 'skrimps' and we tease him to end about get some skrimps at the Sizzzzzzler.

And yet ANOTHER case about animal abuse!! I mean really, a fucking SLAG HAMMER?!? Yikes, add to the mix two more dead cats ( "they was feral!" ) and you've earned yourself a spot on Dr. Shill as a future serial killer. Man was seriously KREE-PEE!

I question the viabability of a donut shop with the defendant's wife as manager....methinks the samplin' far outweighs the sellin'......

Then she gets all huffy " Are we done here?" Miss Holly got all up in her grill with " You're done when he tells you you're done!"

"uh, I was just askin'"

HA!! never seen Miss Holly issue a smackdown before!! Well worth my time!!

Yesterday's "Ladies' Night out" case had the all time classic court show exchange:

Brawling Plaintiff: Your Honor, I was drugged!

Judge Joe (in disbelief): The police drugged you?

BP: Yes they did! I was in the car and they drugged me out!

Oh yes, "Ladies Night Out" was a classic......watch Joe as he flirts shamelessly with Methusula's mother!! Watch Joe as he tries to make sense out of drunken night of debauchery!

Still, it doesn't get any better when the classic " she beat me about the head and neck area with a light fixture!!". WTF!! That was a serious piece of equipment.

I could have done without the visual of the plaintiff getting dragged on the ground by the cops causing 1) her panties to roll up her ass. 2) her panties to morph into thongs or 3) her panties to distract her sister into staring unashamedly at her ass for a prolonged period of time. You pick.

I bet those ladies throw a serious family reunion.

I so love when Joe takes wannabe "playas" out. Today, he takes out this moron who--say it with me--ran up his girlfriend's cell phone. And why--WHY??--is the "playa" ALWAYS a black guy and the done-wrong-woman a white woman? I mean, damn. As Joe put it, why can't this fool get a damn job and get his OWN goddamn cell phone? Both those motherfuckers need to be beaten. UGH.

Today's case with the defendant who busted out the plantiff's car window was just classic Joe Brown. Jackhole wanders into court with a rap sheet a mile long, admits on television to driving illegally on a suspended license, gets himself into a fight with some other people and leaves his pregnant girlfriend to get beat so badly she loses her twins, and then busts out the windows of her mother's car. Joe ripped him a new one but good, and tacked on an extra two grand because the defendant had been making threats towards the ex and her mom about what would happen to him if they sued him (beatdown by "friends").

Oh yeah, and the unemployed jackhole having four kids he doesn't provide for, providing "what he thinks they need" by means he won't speak of *and* collecting Welfare? Ugh. Hate! The sad part was that the stupid punk couldn't even comprehend what Joe was saying about stepping up and being a man, or why he had to pay at all.

Pampers™: The Brand of Choice for Dead-Beat Dads Everywhere.

I am SO glad I was at work today and did not see that episode. I would have destroyed something. UGH! People like that do not deserve to live and propagate.

Woohoo! I loved this case, it was great. That is JJB at his very best. I really don't understand people like that at all, nor do I understand why they're allowed to be roaming free with the rest of us. Eep!

Oh and HEE, SnowDog! What, Huggies aren't good enough for ya?

I don't know why, but every damned deadbeat on any court show who claims he doesn't send child support but he still provides for his baby always says he buys Pampers. Not "diapers," but "Pampers."

Puh leeeeeeeze tell me someone else saw the most awesome JJB EVAH a few weeks ago. Step-dad wrecks Step-daughter's leased car and tries to duck out on the damage then puts a threat in writing on a card to Step-daughter's mom about Step-daughter pursuing him for the damage. Verdict? $9000 (3k was the jurisdictional limit - JJB created 3 causes of action from the one case)!! And a referral to local police for the threat.

Awesome.

I saw it! I love it when JJB does that and ends up with these extremely large amounts at the end just to teach the dumbass a lesson. Preachin' it to the back row indeed!
