As far as pet peeves go for Judge Judy, irresponsible parents are right up there with "um" as an answer. Yesterday's episode featured a man was being sued by his ex-girlfriend for the money she spent on his DUI fines and looking after his children, whom child protective services had taken away from their mom. (The children now live with the defendant's paternal grandparents.) The guy doesn't have a job, likes to party, and appeared to be high as a kite during his hearing. None of that escaped JJ, who challenged him to a drug test. Clip above.

Oh, wow, what a dingleberry.
kfed and britney, minus the millions
Can we give him a vasectomy while were at?
I love it when people try to talk over her and get shouted down.
I saw this yesterday, and knew 2 seconds in that this guy was stoned off his gourd. I can't help but wonder what kind of idiot would go on this type of show and not prep himself as to what he's gonna be facing. It's Judge Judy. She's like a walking drug test. Mix that with years (decades!) of experience in NYC family courts and you done. Toast.
I love her.
The woman at his right shoulder looks amusingly horrified thoughout.
Wow, Deadbeat Dad, you are pretty much just handing the case to your ex-girlfriend. Genius!
its dudes like this that make stoners everywhere look bad.
I wish she'd demand he take a drug test and it would be a dramatic showdown and then they'd cut to a Safe Auto commercial for added suspense
"Dude, where's my kids?"
This makes me sad. I once had a sex ed teacher who, in addition to making up stories about former students with crack babies and AIDS to scare us shitless, also was of the opinion that there should be a pit in the ground where bad parents are thrown and never allowed to come out. This guy belongs in the pit.
Wow! Did he end this with that most-intelligent of come-backs!?
"That's your opinion"
He kinda whispers it at the end. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, you're a winner, guy.
now if only Deadbeat Dad could grow dreads and take up guitar he just might make it to #4 on American Idol.
@roodles: don't insult my adorable Castro. Related note: Judge Judy was TOTES in the AI audience on the results show Wednesday night.
I'm really bad at telling when people are really drunk or stoned. I always just think they are really friendly or sleepy.
"What's in my bloodstream is irrelevant to this case."
Um, actually, it's COMPLETELY
@SusieDerkins: COMPLETELY relevant, you idiot.
omg, they have two children together and the court case is about money? i'd like to install an IUD in both of them. one in her uterus til she sorts herself out, and another in his peen.
I love crackhead litigation.
"I'm not worried about what's in my system"
and a minute later
"I never said it would come out clean."
In a way, it's very consistent testimony.
@roodles: and forget the words to 'mr. tambourine man'!!
i'm not a castro hater, but it was funny to watch.
Why'd they take the kids away from the mom?
@Charlotte Corday: No, they don't. He has 2 kids with another woman, this is just his ex girlfriend who foot the bill for the kids and his DUI's. Nice, huh?
@roodles: Simon would see through his shit and boot him off with all the other freaks from the first week!
Castro is a COOL pot smoking hippie, Deadbeat Dad is a Waste of Space pot smoking piece of trash.
She gives me the heebie jeebies - "heebie" is not any way referring to her religion- but in, like, a good way. I wish she would have been around to bitch out my last roomate
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo bites her thumb in your general dir...: +1
@katrei626: That was funny.
@bananaballs: oooh... thanks for correcting that. yikes.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo bites her thumb in your general dir...: ugh by week 6 I was praying for JC to return to the smoked out college jam party from which he came. he played the same song every week. It grated.
Somehow, I feel like JJ and Martha would make the ultimate evil-fighting team. JJ vanquishes the idiots of evil and Martha conquers the ugly/tasteless/classless?
Personally, I love how she breaks it on down. You have to know if you go on her show she is going to verbally give you the what for.
And if that guy wasn't high, then I'm a virgin. (Which I assure you I am NOT!)
@roodles: but his is the only cd i would buy. maybe david cook's if he doesn't go the way of daughtry. i LIKE stoner, beach, let's hang out and do nothing in the sunshine music. see also: jack johnson, donovan frankenreiter. i dig his chill. in the AI world though, yeah, he needed to go. he wanted to go.
@katrei626: I auditioned for one of those today. To actually do it would be slightly embarassing and a little awesome ($$$$!!) at the same time...
@KatelyAlderwood: Are you going to be IN a safe auto commercial? Haha! That's awesome...do you get to be one of the employees who's all "Girrrrl I undahSTAND what it's like to be broke!"
Maybe it's naive but up til this moment I always assumed those WERE real employees
wow, he needs to sterilized...
@KatelyAlderwood: i had a very dedicated, serious actor friend who was in a marlo's commercial for furniture. we had NO idea until we were at the bar after a show one night and, low and behold, there was her face looking back at us. we got the bartender to turn up the sound. "we definitely got a great deal on our new living room at marlo!" priceless.
Since the Barbara interview, I keep picturing Judge Judy on a cruise with Barbara Walters. How awesome to vacation with Judge Judy. I bet she would not take any crap from stewardesses or bellhops, and we would get lots of free things. And when we go to the beach, and there are annoying kids kicking sand in our faces, Judy will say, "Where are your parents? Stop acting like heathens!" And the kids will be scared and we will be left alone to sunbathe in peace.
Sorry, I got a little caught up in my daydream. She kicks all kinds of ass.
I really feel bad for his ex. She seemed to really love these kids and wanted to help him and now the kids and her are separated because of this loser. As JJ always points out, the ones hurt the most are the kids. It was genius for her to offer to apologize and then he finally realized she was taking him to task and he got all scared.
"dude...wait. What?"
My friend was in a commercial for the adult bookstore back home. They offered $100 in cash OR $100 in "toys and such" from the store.
She took the cash.
i'm sure mr. fisher was hearing afroman's words over and over throughout the whole thing...
i wanna get high,
sooo high
i would've smoked a fattie before judge judy too. that bitch is scary!
My fave Judge Judy expressions: "I'm speaking!" "Um is not an answer" & if she throws down a "Madam" on you, it's all over.
@SusieDerkins: I think it is irrelevant. Whether he does drugs or not, does not make him owe the Plaintiff the money any more or less. It is relevant to his (lack of) parenting skills, but thats not at issue.
@katrei626: Quite possibly. This one has a college girl who talks about how she loves her parents but is really excited to have her own place, except she "didn't think about all the extra expenses...like AUTO INSURANCE!". It has a hilarious zinger at the end about living in your parent's basement. I won't ruin it for you by giving any more away.
Ha! I totally saw this yesterday! He was said how he didn't do anything besides drink, then when Judge Judy said that she was going to give him a hair follicle test, his story totally flipped and he was saying that whether he did drugs or not was irrelevant to his parenting skills. Bish plz! Sorry if that's all in the clip. I'm at my mom's and she doesn't have broadband, or anything faster than ethernet. Seriously.
def. visiting stonehenge. reminds me: can't wait for pot psychology today. yay!
I've never seen this show, but I love the clips that Jezebel posts. There's just something about the doily around JJ's neck that contrasts with her judge robe perfectly. You know you'd better not fuck with someone who dresses like that.
@ScarlettOdahling: If there's every a zombie apocalypse, I totes want Judge Judy in my band of ragtag survivors. She's so awesome.
I love the widening eyes at 1:36 left in the vid.
"Yeeess...." 8|
Holy cow, what an annoying woman.
Sigh. That guy could be my neighbor, the one that offered to pay his share of the internet bill in weed, and totes around his adorable, silent, sad-eyed little girl twice a month while he drinks with friends.
