▶ Why Indochino Suits? (50% off Premium Suits + free shipping) [legaleagle.lin...]: Off-the-rack suits NEVER fit right. Indochino makes fully custom suits that fit perfectly using any material I want, with all of the options I want. And they cost 1/3rd of what normal suits costs. I’ve purchased them with my own money for years, so I’m thrilled they are now a sponsor.
▶ Why Ties from TheTieBar? (Free shipping on orders over $50) [fave.co/2ImLY9I]: Normal ties are too fat. Skinny ties are too skinny. So these days I only wear ties that are exactly 2.5” wide. They are fashionable without being hipster. You see them in all of my videos. TieBar ties are perfect, come in every color I want, and never cost more than $19.
▶ Why these Tie Clips? [amzn.to/2WIQ6EE]: It’s really hard to find affordable tie clips that are the right size (1.5”), look good, and are great quality. These tie bars are all three. Plus the 3-pack gives a variety of styles. They pair perfectly with 2.5” ties from TheTieBar (above).
▶ Why these Pocket Squares? [amzn.to/2UfsKtL]: I like my pocket squares perfectly, well, square. Like straight-out-of-Mad-Men square. The only way to do that is with a stiffer material that keeps its shape. I’ve exhaustively tried dozens of pocket squares, and these are by far the best. It’s how I get the perfectly flat pocket square you see in my videos.

I’m sorry, sir, but I am the best bird lawyer in the world.
I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous. Today I'm taking a break from teaching law students how to crush law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.

Objection: doesn't the name Legal Eagle mislead the jury into believing that you are, in fact, familiar with bird law and the ins and outs thereof
It implies that instead of experiencing the lifestyle of an eagle, he in fact is an eagle
Intervention!
He has a background in Bird Law! Harvey Birdman!
Your honor, in light of this recently discovery I would ask for a mistrial. If not then I would implore you to fire yourself because you are unable to be unbiased.
thats a very niche part of bird law, I think you'd need to demonstrate a more in depth knowledge of bird law to be able to claim familiarity with it.
Where are these fake hands I keep seeing mentioned in this episode? I only see Uncle Jack's big, masculine hands. Hands that tell a story of greatness. Hands perfect for wrestling with nephews.
Ucann QuoteMe That last line made me spit o.j. on my phone screen. Well done!
@@seamusmchooligan9212 No it didn't. You did that on purpose, for clout.
This post pleases Kek. His blessings be upon you.
I'm going to stop you there, are you just going to sit there and talk about your hands for a while?
i guess you didn't look
Objection: The fact that the writers got EVERYTHING wrong suggests they had to know enough to know what was correct.
Kinda right. Our teacher once gave us an MCQ test in which you had to answer every, every question wrong and the winner would get an iPAD. This was one of those days in which these devices were newly introduced and were all the rage. Dumb as I was, I sadly still didn't pass the test. :P
Yeah its pretty clear the whole point of this episode was to lampoon how ridiculous courtroom dramas are and they did it perfectly.
Absolutely, I remember a saying that it's nearly impossible for a student to get all wrong answers on a true/false test, and if someone achieves it, it's more likely that they knew all the answers and marked the wrong ones by choice than pure chance.
Like one old strip of Beetle Bailey where sarge is at first proud of him finally devoting himself to study the military regiment, Bailey answers he needs to know the rules to better know how to skirt\break them
@@0Onyx13 is that a real saying or have you mixed it up with a plot point from into the spiderverse :P

It's only a matter of time before bird law is on the Bar Exam
If Legal Eagle hasn't done it before, he should do the World Series Defense episode from Always Sunny.

I know! I was waiting for that 😂
Hey I thought Uncle Jack requested a motion to strike the fake hands comment from the record!
Never heard of bird law? Yeah this dude definitely aint a real lawyer. Bird law is the first thing you learn in law school, everyone knows that
Objection, the topic is not Bird Law, but Bird Lore.
In most countries, bird law is taught at bird law school, which is separate from normal law school.
Don't you dare besmirch his honor, lest you find yourself in a duel. That's just my legal advice for you.
Don't you dare besmirch his honor, lest you find yourself in a duel. That's just my legal advice for you.
And here I thought it was Tree law...
Of course the REAL issue is that you can't examine 2 witnesses at the same time, not that Charlie asked an ornithologist to speak bird parseltongue
To be fair not the dumbest/fake professional witness testimony that has been accepted in an American court.

"This is getting weird"
Marcus Middleton why explain them?! Don’t you know? His hands...tell a story....
I would 100% allow this entire case to go through to the end. It's too important for the advancements of bird law

Clearly this man is also versed in bird law, or why else would he be called legal eagle. I rest my case.
@@heeres_johnnyy_2179 I've never cringed so hard before until I read your comment, holy shit.
A big part of Always Sunny's comedic formula involves an ever growing discography of recurring in-jokes with with audience. The bird law gag goes back to an earlier season and was fairly well established by this point. The hands gag is based on the character having small hands and being hyper sensitive about it. I love this absurd show to death.
Like Arrested Development in many ways. My brother would get blitzed to watch AD, and be unamused when he couldn't remember even the most basic of references.
Not everything is better enjoyed high lmao
@Kyle Harrison, Good call. AD broke the mold. The 1st 3 seasons are pure gold. Before bird law there was "bob loblaw's law blog".
The recurring joke/gag theme really gets me to love shows like Sunny. Same thing happened when I watched Trailer Park Boys!
@@dynamichunter843 BOTTLE KIDS!
@@dynamichunter843 TPB was, just like Always Sunny, a beautiful constant impending trainwreck.
Why does he keep saying Charlie's uncle is wearing fake hands? Clearly he just has large manly hands
IKR?! I wish he would put his hands over mine so it would look bigger
Slander!
Can i....see those hands again? Just for a quick....
Very masculine indeed.
Henry Asselin "my hands tell a story"
I just absolutely love the fact Guillermo Del Toro plays Papi McPoyle
Holy shit, he actually does!
OBJECTION!!! Bird law did not originate in this episode, it had been talked about by Charlie for many years prior to this episode. The episode in question, "McPoyle vs. Ponderosa: The Trial of the Century ", was the culmination of a long running joke with roots going all the way back to October 18, 2007 when Charlie Kelly first began his law practice in the episode "Mac is a Serial Killer" and as early as September 17, 2009 in the episode "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis" Charlie Kelly Esq. revealed that he had found his niche in the legal community and had begun to specialize in the area of Bird Law.
Jack Bonar Sustained! Charlie Kelly has mentioned his knowledge of Bird Law repeatedly previous to this episode. FIGHT MILK CAWW
Great research!
Well done
This episode was great, but it's built on so many references and callbacks that you can't only watch this one in a bubble
This is why sunny is so great. They take a small joke or personality trait and build on it in a hilarious way. Like maureen being a cat more, Charley's uncles insecurity with his hands etc, all mentioned before but much more subtly.
"It's all ridiculous, it doesn't seem relevant at all and it's a 100% improper" That pretty much sums up "It's always sunny" quite perfectly
Do we have more crack ?
Blaggard999-_- want some of this insulin bro?
Delightfully Improper.
I can’t trust a lawyer with such small hands.
OVERRULED. Men with small hands can be magical.
@@AsadtheTutor False. Men with small hands are evil and cannot be trusted. Much like men who wear tunics.
😂😂😂
Objection.
Men with small hands are fine. It's men with small feet that are Satan's footsoldiers leading the innocent to Hell.
He's got a really strong jawline so I trust him
I think the most realistic part of the episode is the judge acknowledging how ridiculous and how much of a waste of time that all was
Actually, the most realistic part to me was them bringing drugs into court. Where I live at least, you almost never get searched. Even if you set off the metal detector, they just make you take your belt off. As long as you don't set it off a second time, they assume you've got nothing bad on you. So I call BS on him saying you're "very likely to get searched."
OBJECTION: You should have saved this for an April Fool's Day video and talked about how right Charlie is on bird law. A wasted opportunity if you ask me.
I think he wanted people to stop with the bird law stuff
Havery Birdman for april fools
@Peteto Chibs He can revisit it on April Fool's and withdraw his present statements. Talk about the way Charlie revolutionized argument and threw the judge for a loop, and that having his case thrown out was a clear act of discrimination against the divine practitioners of bird law
@@MikeAsbestos If so, that backfired
Watching someone experience Always Sunny for the first time by jumping right to an episode in season 11 and trying to make sense of it is a riot. Rule #1 is to never, ever, try to make sense of any of it.
Hal Wakka I’m not even sure he realized that this was a comedy
You can make sense of the tiny hands if you’ve seen it before.
@@zayaplaya1 LOL he definitely didnt
Lol you are so right.
Start from season one my friend. You will not be disappointed.
Season 12 episode 6. "Hero or hate crime" awesome episode about lottery ticket ownership with an arbitrator. Take a look
That's my absolute favorite episode
DO IT!!!!
Agreed. Fantastic episode.
Definitely a great episode..My personal favorite may be The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore. Dee getting her hair ripped out and Dennis puking on the ride...then smoking angel dust. The boardwalk is definitely not a magical place haha
@@marcsorensen1184 not to mention the ever important rum ham
Jack's self conscious about having small hands as a running joke and since the beginning of the series Charlie has wanted to be a lawyer and says he is versed in birdlaw 😂
Lol when they took the picture together and Jack put his hands beneath the other lawyers hands pretending they were his.😂 comedic golds.
I don't trust this lawyer, how big are his hands?
They look considerable, but I don't buy it. I think he had someone lay their hands on top of his for this video.
They seem the same size as mine.
And more important, do his hands tell a story?
LMFAO! The best part is when Uncle Jack throws his hand across the room and runs away screaming "NOBODY LOOK, NOBODY LOOK!!" Like nobody saw it
On the contrary. His hands are big, I think we should settle.
I'm glad that your biggest problem with trying to get evidence from a bird is that there's already one witness on the stand and you can't examine two witnesses at the same time. That was my biggest problem with it, too.
The next scene is wonderful too. Where the penn professor says he can't speak with birds and Charlie feels his is misled.
My same thought!
He's referring to the ornithologist, not the bird. Charlie is questioning the ornithologist while he is neither on the stand nor under oath, which is improper. In order for the ornithologist to provide testimony, he would have to be called as a witness.
The ornithologist was functioning as a translator, not a witness. I think he would have to,be considered a witness while stating his background though.
Well, also birds can't testify in court (or out of court either, because well, they're birds).
Objection: Bird law originated in a much earlier episode. I believe "The Gang Exploits the mortgage crisis". Edit: Do My Cousin Vinny
Yup

You absolutely right, never bring drugs into court. If you have to have drugs in court you should take all the drugs before entering. This way while your waiting on your trial it should give them all time to kick in and should be going strong by the time your case comes up.
🤣🤣 I was gonna say "no shit Sherlock", but you had me in the first half
Charlie Kelly doesn't have a law degree mainly because he can't read. But he is however the best god damn bird lawyer in the world.
He'll adapt.
@@sandwedge The warthog will take him under his wing and teach him to swim with the sharks.
Bird Law was a running joke that blew up into a full blow episode. It didn't originate in this episode. What makes it really funny is watching the evolution of the joke.
The whole episode calls back to the two part wedding episode and Jacks’ long running hand insecurities.
Eric Staples that’s what makes this show so great is that there’s so many running jokes, if you haven’t watched it from the start it won’t be as enjoyable. He said he was confused at multiple points whereas I found it hilarious
This man, this charlatan pretends to be an expert yet knows nothing, NOTHING about Bird Law. How dare he comment on what is the greatest example of Bird Lawyering ever recorded. Thumbs down!
@The Coward Liberius Hearsay! Overuled!
Yeah this legal, "eagle", displays many characteristics of a buttlicker.
I want legal eagle to watch more of the show, so he can understand everything the gang has put this lawyer through. Only then will his demeanor and attitude make sense. Over the course of the show they have pushed this poor guy so far that he starts taking cases for free as long as those cases are against the gang.
I don't want to watch this humorless Captain Obvious trudge his way through any more Sunny episodes while telling us that **news flash** the trial scenes aren't realistic and don't comply with legal proceedings. Thanks guy, we had no idea! 😮
Comedy is clearly wasted on this jabroni.
@@JakeKoenig you willingly clicked on this video, we would be more better without you.
How are so many people in the comments mad at the commentator? Lol. This is not a TV show reaction channel. It is obvious that the only reason any Sunny episodes are being reacted to is because it relates to his field. No, he's not going to get the inside jokes lol. My god.

Request for motion to sustain the objection of the filibuster in question by way of people versus parakeet.
You literally look like "fancy lawyer man" in It's Always Sunny
He's got five years until the gang finds him

He does!!!
Extra bonus points because he's wearing a woman's suit jacket like Michael Scott.
@@Juggalotus253 that's funny cause I feel like he has a bit a jim and the lawyer from the show mixed in his looks. And you bring michael Scott's women suit into this lol
I personally love the scene at the end where after the judge kicks them out he reads his next case and they turn around and take their seats again.
I believe that case was about the scheme they pulled in the charlie work episode
I don't see any fake hands in this video. Just a bunch of people with real, very normal-sized hands.

@@KathyAAllen what are you even trying to say right now
I'm not sure if they're calling the video dumb, or the people commenting? Either way, I disagree.
This particular ep of Always Sunny is just SO full of long-running gags (for example Bird Law does NOT originate from this ep) that I couldn't imagine watching it without any context.
Fancy seeing you here...
@@TheSrawsome , +1 to this, basically every single joke in this episode from the bird law, to the cat lady, to Charlie thinking hes a lawyer, and even the guys big fake hands, are all long running jokes, so im guessing this episode pretty much makes no sense outside of the context lol.
That’s what I was gonna say I was just like ...wow he must be soooo confused
Objection: this mans hands are far too small he couldn't know anything about the law
You know what they say about men with tiny hands. Horrible Lawyers.
Objection: I believe this episode was purposefully breaking all of these legal boundaries as a method of absurdist humour.
This basically seems like an actual judge was called to the show, not informed of anything, and that those were his actual reactions.
Reginald VelJohnson is very much an actor
Muppet Overlord that was Reginald VelJohnson? I didn’t even recognize him
Goah Way I know who he is, I just didn’t recognize him as the judge
Except that’s Daddy Winslow so...
That's Sgt. Al Powell.
Objection: If you were better read on the nuances of bird law, this would of received a much higher grade.
Bird law originated in “The Gang Exploits The Mortgage Crisis” episode.
I love that the Legal Eagle waves his hands around when he talks. I also love that he gave the trail an "F" even though he reached the same conclusion as the judge.
OBJECTION- you're just jealous of the big hands
I second this
Very obviously you don't understand just how good at law Charlie Kelly is. I'll do you a favor and pull some of his better quotes on legal subjects.
"Listen buddy, I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings. I'm well educated, well versed, I know that situations like this, real estate wise, they're very complex."
"I'll take that advice into cooperation alright? Now what's say you and I go toe-to-toe in bird law and see who comes out the victor."
"Okay well uh... Filibuster."
"Heretofore document had... dry ink! For... at least many forknights"
"Look, we all have hot plates we want to get back to."
Are you sure some of those aren't Trump quotes? They're almost indistinguishable from Charlie Kelly quotes.
4 THE MARE
"Hummingbirds are legal tender."
They would love that they got an F. The joke that ties the episode together is people who only know law from TV serials decide they can be lawyers. Like most episodes of the show, they are subverting and satirizing various television tropes. That it gets everything wrong was truly their goal.
Wah wah look at me mr smarty pants analysing shit no one asked for wah wah i am so smart im gonna explain the joke to everyone so that its no longer funny waaaah
Came here to say the same thing! Exactly!!
@@blegh33 calm down
@Fats Waller Makes him more smarter*
In order to get everything wrong, you have to know what is right then avoid it.
LegalEagle: For portrayal of civil law I give this a F
Me: For portrayal of bird 🐦 law I give this an A+
You totally besmirched him and he demands satisfaction.
@Kyle Blank 🙊
at least it wasn’t in front of a jury of his own peers
Objection: Final grade should be a "C-" as the judge DID throw the case out, although not as soon as he should have done.
Then I want my C- for writing "A is clearly crazy and gets nothing" on my last law exam after reading the facts of the case :)
I was right, yet I got an F...
If the grade is based on "legal realism", then that F is absolutely warranted, and that's the whole point of this episode. It shows what happens when a gang of narcissists is unleashed in a court proceeding. The result = madness.
We Finally see what it takes to be in a courtroom and perForm a Full on F rating of being a good lawyer.
Only thing that would maybe it get a D- is the Judge but that would outweigh what both lawyers got so wrong
What would really happen is they'd all get thrown out in about 5 seconds.
I'm curious what the other legal episodes get. Especially since I think IASIP is at its actual best when they go out in non-fringe elements of society and the lawyer is my favorite side character I think.
except a court would never go along with it, they would all be thrown out very quickly.
Well yes and no. He was also saying they never would have even gotten to court and that everything else was ridiculous too.
Ok, so about bird law. I once had an issue where birds made a nest in my chimney. Birds were flying into my house, wrecking havoc.
The first company I called to take care of the situation basically said " Nothing we can do, it's bird law, we can't remove them."
So basically they told me that the birds now owned my house.
I called another guy and got it taken care of pronto, but I'll never forget the first person telling me that basically bird law meant the nest in my chimney was illegal to disrupt, and that the birds now owned my property. Lol.
Am I the only one who had a huge cartoonish grin on their face when they saw he was covering one of the funniest episodes of "Its always sunny"? lol

This lawyer is getting overwhelmed with the complete and utter insanity that is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"...😂😂😂😂
Makes you wonder what he would say about Perry mason
Imagine if they let LegalEagle guest star as himself to challenge Charlie on Bird Law
Objection! Are you licensed to practice Bird Law? I think NOT sir.
I'll allow it because he's got a nice tie. Continue, Counselor.
Overruled; His name is LegalEagle
Is he allowed to practice African or European swallow law?!
Objection! Legal Eagle did not go through Discovery (previous episodes, episodes after this one) before proceeding to watch this video, therefore he has no relevant information to dispute any of the claims and results of this episode. Sandbagged himself.
Oooooh! Bombshell!
KABOOM!!! 💥
Objection! Bird law has its origins several seasons prior in a barroom argument concerning whether Dennis own a hummingbird as a pet. As you know he cannot because bird law is not governed by reason.
Don't know which is more impressive: that this guy didn't continue riding the wave of one of his most highly viewed episodes, or, that It's Always Sunny scared this guy from ever touching it again with a 10ft pole.
Which sucks, world series defense would have been AMAZING to watch.
Not necessarily, he did two other episodes
wrong, he did Dennis Reynolds: The Cereal Defense and recently, Hero or hate crime?
@AlastorCorvus you notice how my comment is from 2 years ago?
Hope you enjoyed your momentary "well actually" internet boner.
The fake hands are explained in earlier episodes, specifically Season 6, Episode 2 "Dennis Gets Divorced". Basically, Jack is very insecure about his small hands. So in the episode you're watching, he's wearing fake, big hands.
Agree but I thought it was because they foreshadow that he molested Charlie Kelly when he was a kid. Am I wrong?
@@ianhinkle2863 his very large fake hands have nothing to do with that. Uncle Jack's hand insecurity has been played out in a couple episodes. Like the one op said and when they talk about gun laws on tv with Frank. Its debatable if charlie was molested or not but it's got nothing to do with his hands
No totally agree but I also feel like it's just another thing in the show that's like hidden thing, and how he "touched Charlie " Wasn't saying you were wrong sir. Just wanted to share that, and kinda confirm. Been since I've watched the series
@@ianhinkle2863 yea but i just feel like they weren't too subtle about charlie being touched by uncle jack. Like the episode where he wants to move back into his mom's and he tells jack that family members dont wrestle and that he stayed awake all night . The hands likely have nothing to do w charlie being abused but that is something to think about haha :-)
Jack has probably touched charlie and other kids and think that its his hands that is the problem and not the act itself. Thats what i think the reason is. He says in one epi that his hands are ugly or something of that kind. But yeah i have "wrestled" with charlie when they shared room when he was a kid.
I *LOVED* this very serious looking man trying to make sense of the crazy that is It's Always Sunny. 😂
is total nonsense
“Everybody keeps asking if I know anything about bird law”
“I don’t have any idea what that is”
Priceless!!!
"I don't think Charlie Kelly has passed the bar" Joke's on you he can't even read! I love this by the way.
My favourite part is how flabbergasted you are, like you're watching a real court proceeding play out and you're just like "oh no"
Im really offended this pseudo lawyer calls himself legal eagle, yet I couldn't find anybird law in his videos, except this classic example to wich he seemed to be completely unaware
Kathy I’m about 95% sure the first OP was being sarcastic.... On the topic of having time to watch movies, he probably has the weekends off, so he records raw footage of him viewing a couple movies/shows and has an editor do the editing. It’s ridiculous for you to think that he does everything on this channel, especially since you think his job is stressful.
OBJECTION!
....um.......i was under the impression you knew about bird law. Legal....EAGLE
please change your name to LegalLandAnimal because from one law expert to another, you dont want to commit 15 U.S. Code § 54 - False advertisement
Yeah.....didnt think so
Total buttlicker move from this guy.
Objection, you failed to start your post with "objection."
@JZPotter SUSTAINED
@@213213yoyo SUSTAINMENT OVERRULED
regular lawyers are always clueless in regard to bird law. it requires an extra two years of study and most are too lazy or stupid to finish it. charlie is a class act
This episode deserves an A, cause while none of what they were doing was realistic or allowed, at the end of the episode the judge throws the case out because of what they were doing and how unrealistic that it was
I'll just regress because I feel like I've made myself perfectly redundant.
Leo Nards Bro ill take that advice into cooperation
"Yes ya have"
Looked for comment, found comment.
I question your credentials sir. I'm also doubting you have the adequate hand size to be a lawyer.
i'm sure this guy has no idea about bird law...
OBJECTION: As someone who seems to have nicely-sized hands, you would never appreciate the hardships endured by Jack Kelly and his tiny hands.
Tetrodome tiny hands? He has huge man hands- and I didn’t look when he said not to. I’m a good nephew
in bird court, the prosecution has the BIRDen of evidence
Bahahaha
You mean the persecution...
BIRDen of AVIANce
And both parties get...Bill-ed?
Bird law my kniccas
I have no objection, but I do have a pretty interesting question for you:
How would you write a law scene or drama that is so consistantly and specifically inaccurate that any lawyer could immediately tell that the author has an intimate understanding of court procedures?
Study.
the simpsons, Lionel Hutz
This scene itself lol
Objection: it’s a logical fallacy to suggest that an unrealistic script implies the writers understand what is realistic in the first place. It could be simple ignorance. But I’ll admit if you assume they are intelligent writers they have some limited knowledge of court procedure. By no means can you assume they are experts or had expert help without evidence.
Court is adjourned
The judge doesn’t use a gavel, he uses a rubber ducky?
I legit laughed at the “what they got right” portion. Wood panels on the walls, lol
Objection!! The judge, eventually, had the correct reaction to a completely invalid case and argument. Since the case was thrown out, it was, it seems to me, the only legal action that actually happened in this case. Ergo, all legal actions taken in this episode were done correctly, there were no errors in legal procedure and this episode should have gotten an A.
LegalEagle: "This is not normal at all."
Always Sunny in summary.
Objection, bird law originated way before this episode, it started when they discuss if it's legal to own a hummingbird as a pet, and is brought up in many episodes, truly not a real fan
Hummingbirds are illegal tender.
@@williamblackfyre4866 I'm not saying I agree with it, but bird law in this country isn't governed by reason
Well Duh. He doesn't watch the show
Kitten mittens and D*ick towel was the first reference, I believe.
@@gypsylee333 its like theyve winged it!
Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense would've been a much better episode to review
It fares a lot better. Oh no, did I let the cat out of the bag?
@@LegalEagle Yaaaay! can't wait until you see it!! And cant wait to see your vid on it
omg yes! do that one next please :)
@@LegalEagle well I don't know why you would put Maureen in a bag?
I was thinking the whos gotta do the dishes episode. Not a court room exactly, but it is funny as hell.
As a law enforcement official who is in court frequently and with Sunny being my favorite show of all time, I am saddened that I just discovered this channel. Good work council! And bird law is real 😊
I wouldn't trust someone who doesn't know shit about bird law, this guy isn't very well versed I'd have to say. Doesn't even understand why he has fake hands... Get a load of this guy!
How dare you question Uncle Jack's big masculine hands?
His hands tell a story of greatness. If you take a look at his right hand...
NOBODY LOOK! NOBODY LOOK!
I don't know where you see fake hands. All I see are big, masculine hands. Hands that tell a story of greatness. Hands that are perfect for wrestling with nephews.
ThirdWorldEuroTrash is this a hate comment? Then I say this: >:(
🤝💰 📷✋✋🏻 “We’re lawyers!” 🤚🏻🤚📸
Let's say you and I go toe to toe in bird law and see who comes out the victor....
TylerR_41 I don’t think you and me will do anything of that sort.
Just wondering is A-a-ron wrong for using "me" in that sentence instead of "I"
Yes. He should have used I. Here's an easy way to tell whether "I" or "me" is correct in a sentence - remove the other party. In this case that would leave "I don't think me will do anything of the sort" which, unless you are a cartoon caveman, is not something you would ever say. You WOULD, however, say that "I don't think I will do anything of the sort, hence "I" is correct.
Ok well...
filibuster
@@John-lw7bz I could ask you that very same question.
This tiny hand lawyer cannot be trusted..
fuzz Wuzz a sensible man I see
Nice one
He has big hands, can you not see his big, real hands?
@EmmaBean yeah crazies party is my uncle's name is Jack Kelly and my name is Charles aka charlie
Tosh Jury it’s an inside joke from sunny in Philadelphia
Im positive that "bird law" actually began at an episode in season 3 or 4... this episode is just when they took the "bird law" into a full episode of him in court trying to it. But he had been claiming to be an expert in bird law for years at this point😂
