😂 He left out the bartenders 1st answer. Its always naming the drinks they had (no matter how long ago) & saying he's not so good with names but he never forgets their drink. 😁
It’s always wild to me how they remember the exact person, and then are never questioned again nor thought to be a suspect. I get it’s a narrative flow thing but augh
My favorite is the judge that gets weirdly offended when the lawyer does their job: “Your honor, the circuit court said...” “I know what the law says, counselor!” It’s like, sorry, judge. Next time I won’t mention the law on the off chance that you already know the ruling I’m about to cite.
My favorite is how lawyers will say all kinds of objectionable, inadmissible, prejudicial things during trial and then just go "withdrawn" when the other side objects.
He forgot the “every time someone is getting questioned at work someone else always comes and calls their name and they say I gotta go and just leaves” person in every episode. It’s always so convenient how someone always comes and calls them away Lmao.
Sounds like a great bit for a Police Squad! episode. I could see Det. Drebin questioning a competitive runner, who doesn't stop practicing while Drebin runs alongside them asking questions.😂 Or getting in a pool with his clothes on to question a swimmer.
The part that KILLS me the most is when the suspect is on trial facing life in prison and his/her anger is so uncontrollable that blurt out a confession in front of the whole court
Briscoe always had the best one liners.. they find the dead guy w shaving cream on his face in the bathroom..” looks like he missed a spot”…, or they find the woman dead the dept store dressing room… “ look.. she shopped till she dropped.”
YEP. Back when Comedy Central used to air hours of stand up on Friday, and sometimes, Saturday Nights. As a young person, it was awesome. I got so much perspective on life from watching.
Box guy gives zero shits. Once detectives of law & order actually told van-unloading box guy to stop unloading boxes to talk. Even lead characters got so sick of box guy never stopping, they had to make him stop haha
My favorite character is the "tired and sarcastic black postal woman". She is not having any of it and lets the detectives know by giving said sarcastic answers to their questions
We also have: Detective who believes in guilty until proven innocent Detective who for no reason doesn't sleep until the case is closed And Detective who is right about all their hunches.
My fave character is the doorman who is opening the door for residents entering AND exiting the fancy building, summoning a cab for the lady resident who is always wearing a fur coat, walking a poodle, while telling the detectives what he saw 3 weeks ago at 12:39 pm. 🤣
As a L&O fan, these are so good and spot on. Especially the unloading guy. I picked up on that ages ago. “Hey, Lenny is asking you some questions. Set the damn fruit crates down for two minutes and pay attention!” Anything I know/think about NYC comes from L&O and “NYPD Blue” which means I may have a skewed, slightly negative perception of the place. Perps, skels, junkies, lowlifes, mobsters, psychos and general assholes, etc. all committing horrific crimes 24/7 and it’s up to Jerry Orbach and Jimmy Smits to stop them! 😁
YES. it seems like so many crime shows have the same characters. I cant tell you how many times the cops have figured out the murderer, and the first thing they say is "I didn't mean to"
"It was an accident!" "I only meant to scare him/her. The gun just went off." "I didn't know what to do so I washed the bloody clothes." "I didn't call the police because I didn't want to get in trouble."
It’s become too easy to spot the killer in the first five minutes of the episode. It’s always a random person who says random lines and their randomness is waaaay too random…
My personal favorite is the judge looking for any reason to throw out critical evidence proving that the suspect committed the horrific murders. "I'm sorry, but the HD videotape showing the guy murdering a bunch of girlscouts with a chainsaw is inadmissible because the police failed to put the proper punctuation in the search warrant." Like, really!? you think we have one of the largest prison populations in the world because judges are being too radical in their scrutiny of police conduct?
The mechanic who slides out from under a vehicle hes working on to scowl and say come back at lunch then slides back under the car while 2 homicide detectives stare at him
It’s so true.. same types of characters who don’t even get phased talking to the police. Plus guy who always runs when detectives show up., they can’t just walk up to guy working.. the foreman or boss always calls the guys name from a distance so he can run. Or then guy who starts asking the police too many ?s and tries to interfere in case.
Or the suspect doesn't demand a lawyer until they've given the cops too much information short of an actual confession. Keep in mind that the suspect was being Mirandized shortly before the commercial break.
The Guy can run but the detective who had the worse weekend ever is running After him, and unfortunately a car hit the man who is running and who happens to be guilty. They catch one man and they walk into the squadroom with 4 or 5 men ... + Svu : always running short of money.
How about the social worker who can pull out the exact file with one sheet of paper in it from a filing cabinet without looking as she talks about how understaffed they are.
Or when the cops show up to the guy's job to question the person, the foreman calls their name, the person sees that they're cops and start running and there's a foot chase.
YES! 🤣 And another park-bench interviewee: “former nanny who had to get a different job when the dad made a pass at her and is now scared she’ll get fired from the new job for talking to the police instead of watching her charge on the playground”. HAHA!! 🤣🧑⚖️
Bartenders almost always stay sober and have constant situational awareness, so this one checks out. Plus there are always regulars, so anyone who doesn't usually go there is super noticeable.
@@MsJMHSmaybe in a small town, but an always crowded New York city bar? I agree with John on this one, especially how the bartender somehow knows the mind state of all they're customers.
The whole bartender thing....I lived (past tense) in New Orleans. I returned and went to a bar that I went to occasionally. I tried to tip really well and the bartender said, "No, no, no. I just haven't seen you for so long." The good bartenders have GREAT memories.
You can really tell this older material from some of his later specials how bad his drug problem got - he seems like he's talking in slow motion compared to some of the last pre-rehab material. Glad he's doing better now.
in my decades as a Broadway wardrobe person, one of my main goals was to get as many hand props into my control as possible because I love props. So I absolutely love the Law and Order franchise which is, precisely as John Mulaney states, all about actors being very busy with props to convey seen it all NYCers who are always blasé to the point of boredom while questioned by detectives. I once ran into Captain Craven at a bar on the UWS and I said something about how much I loved how busy everyone was with their props and unimpressed with being visited by detectives and despite the clear affection for the show in my tone, he got very huffy and offended and said that the show was 300% accurate and that is exactly how witnesses behave. Cap'n Cragen has zero sense of humor.
*Listens to this 100 times over* *goes on UA-cam* *pulls up Comedy Central* *scrolls down list searching frantically for the name Mulaney* *finds this* My brain: liberation of France at the salt and pepper diner ensues
I never realized it before, but there are a lot of characters in L & O shows who just absolutely have to continue doing idle work while being questioned by homicide detectives. 😂
Or when the prosecution is about to lose the case and outta nowhere a surprise witness who seen the crime pops up or some new unseen footage appears 😂😂
My favourite is when the suspect goes: Suspect: "I would never do such a thing!" Cops: "aha, but we've got your fingerprints on a letterbox nearby and the neighbour lady said you looked kind of familiar so ha!" Suspect: "alright, I did do it" Just immediately confesses and it's hilarious. sometimes they try a little bit harder to make it natural but so often there's no reason
There's a show called good omens and at one point they're questioning a bar tender if he had seen John Hamm who is essentially the default skin for middle aged white man. And the bar tender said "yeah I remember him, he came in once or twice with someone" Bullshit! That's John Hamm! He's the human equivalent of Emmet from the Lego movie!
