INT. CARTMAN’S HOUSE - DAY
The boys are all sitting on Cartman’s couch watching TV
ANGLE - TELEVISION
A news reporter stands in front of the courthouse.
NEWS REPORTER
And so on this fifteenth day of what
is considered to be the most important
trial of the... day... Johnnie Cochran
has appeared to defend Capitalist
Records. The question now is... Will
Cochran use his famous Chewbacca
defense?
ANGLE - BOYS
CARTMAN
What’s a Chewbacca defense?
KYLE
I don’t know.
STAN
That’s what Cochran used in the O.J. Simpson trial.
CARTMAN
God damn I hate that Cochran guy. If
he was here in front of me I’d be like
‘AY! YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!! YOU --
I BET -- HOW’D YOU LIKE ME TO KICK YOU
IN THE NUTS?!’
KYLE
(Eating)
I’m sure that would scare the hell out
of him, Cartman.
INT. COURTROOM - DAY
Kyle’s dad is pacing back and forth in front of the jury.
KYLE’S DAD
And so, in summation, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury. You’ve heard
the version of my client’s song
recorded over twenty years ago, you’ve
heard the EXACT SAME song produced by
these cheats in the past month.
I’d say it’s pretty much an open and
shut case. Make the right decision.
Thank you.
One jury guy claps. Kyle’s dad sits back down next to
Chef.
KYLE’S DAD
We’ve got ‘em.
Chef smiles.
JUDGE
Mr. Johnnie Cochran, your closing
arguments?
Cocharan gets up from his seat and starts pacing.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN
Ladies and gentlemen of the SUPPOSED
jury... Chef’s attorney would
certainly want you to believe that his
client wrote “Stinky Britches” ten
years ago. And they make a good case.
Hell, I almost felt pity myself!
The jury listens, intrigued.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
But ladies and gentlemen of this
supposed jury... I have one final
thing I want you to consider...
Cochran pulls down a chart with a picture of Chewbacca.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is
CHEWbacca. Chewbacca is a wookie from
the planet Kashyyk. But Chewbacca
LIVES on the planet ENDOR... Now think
about that... That DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!
The jury looks confused.
KYLE’S DAD
Dammit!
CHEF
What?
KYLE’S DAD
He’s using the Chewbacca defense!
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
Why would a Wookie, an EIGHT FOOT TALL
Wookie want to live on endor with a
bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? THAT
DOES not MAKE SENSE!
A murmur goes through the jury.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
But MORE importantly, you have to ask
yourself ‘What does this have to do
with this case’? NOTHING. Ladies and
gentlemen it has NOTHING to do with
this case. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
Now Cochran paces in front of the jury.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
Look at me, I’m a lawyer defending a
major record company and I’m talking
about Chewbacca! Does that make sense?
Ladies and gentlemen, I AM NOT MAKING
ANY SENSE! NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE.
Now he pauses.
JOHNNIE COCHRAN (cont’d)
And so you have to remember, when
you’re in that jury room deliberatin
and conjugatin the emancipation
proclamation -- Does it make sense?
No. Ladies and gentlemen of this
supposed jury, it does NOT MAKE SENSE.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor YOU MUST
ACQUIT. The defense rests.
Cochran returns to his seat.
JUDGE
O...kay then.
INT. CARTMAN’S HOUSE - DAY
The boys are still watching TV on the couch.
CARTMAN
Wow... he’s good.
EXT. SOUTH PARK COURTHOUSE - DAY
A newsreporter is standing on the courthouse steps with a
microphone. On the TV we see images of artists
renderings from the case.
NEWS REPORTER
In a teary eyed courtroom, Johnnie
Cochran has just finished his closing
arguments. And as was anticipated, he
did use the Chewbacca defense. Whether
or not it worked, is up to the jury to
decide.
INT. COURTROOM - DAY
The judge is reading the verdict. The courtroom is
silent.
JUDGE
How find you the jury.
JURYGUY
We find the defendant, Jerome Chef
McElroy... GUILTY as charged.
The people in the courtroom gasp.
KYLE’S DAD
Whoops.
CHEF
Whoops!?
JUDGE
Mr. Chef, you have been found guilty
of Harassing a major record label. The
full fee of $2 million will
be handed over within 24 hours.
CHEF
Do I look like I have $2 million?!
JUDGE
Well, you have 24 hours to find it, or
else you’ll have to go to jail... For 8 million YEARS!!!
Dramatic MUSIC sting. Chef’s jaw drops.
The foreman walks over and whispers in the judges ear.
FOREMAN
(Whispering)
It’s actually for four years.
JUDGE
Oh, sorry. You’ll go to jail for 4 years.
Chef plops down in his seat.
CHEF
This can’t be happening!
INT. CARTMAN’S HOUSE - DAY
The boys are all open mouthed on Cartman’s couch.
STAN
Oh no, dude. Chef’s gonna go to jail.

I love how the “Chewbacca Defense” became an actual term in the legal community for when a lawyer tries to confuse a jury to get a not guilty verdict.
So... it worked?
Yes til lawyers caught on

What doesn’t make sense is him thinking Chewbacca lives on Endor.
Well he was on endor, and he was living at that point.
Especially since they were never on Endor, they were on its forest moon.
@@outerik90 wrong forest moon of endor
Didn't he live there in the Christmas special?
@@nb2008nc No the Christmas special was made before Return of the Jedi.
The fact I'm not the greatest SW fan out there and even I know that Chewbacca doesn't, in fact, live on Endor, and that the supposed Endor he's talking about is actually one of Endor's MOONS.
I mean, yes, but that's not at all the point. lol
I thought the moon itself was Endor?
@@CGJUGO80 nope, the planet it orbits is Endor. I’m sure there’s a name for the moon somewhere in the extended universe stuff, but in the movie it’s just referred to as a “moon of Endor”.
@@Thanatos2996 Interesting. Thanks for your response! Because I grew up playing the Return of the Jedi game for SNES and it was labeled "Forest Moon Endor" for some reason. Thanks for clarifying!
@@Thanatos2996he moon is Endor, it orbits the planet tana lovated in the endor system, it’s referred to as “The forest moon of endor” which may be where the misconception came from
Who’s here after OJ died?
Only the realest know the Chewbacca defense 😂
I’m so glad I’m not the only one, legends lol
Pourin one out for our fallen king
OJ’s not dead, he’s on Endor. This does not make sense!
@@randy438 Oh shut up. That monster was a king of evil and nothing else.
Damn the guy claimed in his closing arguments that the emancipation proclamation does not make sense 🤣 I love south park
“And so you have to remember, when you are in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the emancipation proclamation: does it make sense?” 😂
This scene is super iconic that it finally made it on lego Star Wars the skywalker saga as a reference for the Endor level
Lol RUclips has a interesting sense of humor recommending me this today. 🤣👍
I'm not sure if you could use that Chewbacca defense during judgment Day
And he's still undefeated in the courtroom,wtf,lol. I can't stop laughing 🤣
I'm still angry for Nicole and Ron.
She shouldn't have cheated .... poor kids have to love with that
@@RegulaRegz732 Opposed to OJ's well documented affair.
@@RegulaRegz732No responses huh? I guess you realised your hero isn’t the saint you think he is 😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:15 I miss when Cartman used to get so pissed off he short circuited 🤣
2:40 Chef's face reacting to 8 million years in jail.
Lesson : make sure your jury is composed of Star Wars fans. They would know Chewbacca lives on Kashyyk. Well practically, he lives on the Millennium Falcon.
The funny part is that he's completely wrong. Chewbacca doesn't even live on endor
You could say _it does not make sense._
🤣🤣🤣🤣 im bursting in laughter after seeing those rough black and white sketches, specially the judge 🤣🤣🤣
This is legendary
i completely agree
8 million years gets me all the time
Who’s here after this became the name of a level in The Skywalker Saga?
Me!
I had to come straight here after the news of OJ's death.
Hi from April 11, 2024! RIP OJ
Rip in pieces indeed
Rest in piss
*Shows a picture of Johnny with ice cream on his lap* IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
That
Does not
Make
Sense
“For 8 million years.”
God I love South Park.
Amber Heards closing defense
I've always loved how he opens with: "supposed" jury hahaha
i always laugh when kyle's dad goes "whoops!"
Especially when Chef says it back😂
“Whoops!”
“WHOOPS?!?”
I am literally in tears, and that does not make sense😆 😂 😅 🙃 🤣 😭
RIP OJ
Nice to see South Park made a parody of the Amber Heard Defense.
South Park Season 24 Episode 3 Please!😃
Mooore South Park, PLEASE! :)
They probably won’t because the boys are kind of.. friends and kinda not friends because on boy has to hang out with Kenny every day.
Anyone else notice how they forgot Gerald’s suit in the first scene, then it suddenly comes back? Lol
Ladies and gentlemen of the SUPPOSED juray...
Cockerett lied under oath, chewie doesn't live on endor
The Ronnie O Neal case brought me here
IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
But chewbacca doesn't live on Endor.
Of all these 'supposed' comments, this one does not......make....sense!
They even have an official chewbacca pandemic special posted yesterday
Who's watching this after the lawyer rated this episode for legal accuracy?
i remebmer some guy blowing head out and i laughed so hard because MINDBLOWING
if it works, use it
Amber Heads Lawyers😂😂😂
Happy May 4th everybody
It's 1 A.M. and I'm supposed to be up for work in a few short hours. I'm already behind on my sleep schedule, and here i am wide awake, watching a video about Chewbacca instead.
That does not. Make. SENSE!
The Tik Tok psychic should write this down.
For 8 million years
If I were a wookie, I would want to live on Endor. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Acquittal coming.
I’d hate to be on this supposed jury
They call me "Scrawny Dan" They don't know who I really am.. i am chewbacca, i am a wookie, i fight the empire
Amber Heard's team. It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off!
Unfortunately this does seem like a good representation of what is to be expected in our current legal system.....
mean while oj is free, until his next crime
Poor oj
The real crime was the pronunciation of kashyyk
I've never understand the reason behind this defense.
I think maybe it is as rediculous a defense as Cochrane's "if the glove doesn't fit you must aquit" argument. What the hell do I know, I'm no lawyer.
The Apple vs Epic trial right now be like:
Happy Star Wars day South Park
May the 4th be with you
"I AM ABOVE THE LAW!!
I love how there literally isn’t even any record of Chewbacca ever at any point residing on Endor.
THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!
@@rhey81 beat me to it
Wonder if it comes from the original idea of having the battle take place on a Wookie planet.
Of course. He obviously lives on the Star Trek enterprise.
THEY WEREN"T ON ENDOR, THEY WERE ON ITS FOREST MOON. THE FOREST MOON OF ENDOR.
Scene is so legendary that real lawyers study it.

@@zephyrsky__ I got it, but thanx
“If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit. The defense rest.”
Judge: ‘Okay then.’ 😂
The Chewbacca Defense is genuinely so flawed that it somehow works because of how confused it makes the jury.
because jury is extremely dumb
Nooooo
Yup. It's a common tactic. You throw a lot of big words at people, make it sound like you know what you're talking about, you can get them to believe you. I remember in the movie "Law-Abiding Citizen," there was an early scene where the titular citizen just spews a bunch of random laws and legal precedents in front of a judge. She lets him walk because he "seemed to know the law." He then mocked her for falling for his tactic.
Basically you confuse people with tons of information and word salad and they'll pretty much just give up and believe what you say.
@@drygnfyre This same tactic is used for taxes. Make it very confusing so people don't save money on taxes except rich people that pay Accountants that studied 4 years no understand the system to help save them money on taxes. Not only that but also the economic system and inflation and corporate pay salary. Just confuse everyone so you can keep ripping them off.
It's like hearing Ben Shapiro talking about religion.
This now a level title in Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga
Along with Better Call Maul. What a era to live in.
I came to this video to say the same thing. Sensational
The best part: It’s the Endor level and you play as Chewie and Wicket the Ewok
3 of the 5 levels in Episode III are named based on it's memes, "So Uncivilized", "The Droid Attack on the Wookies" and of course, "The High Ground"
I shall mention how they portrayed Max Rebo in the game, is like a Family Friendly version of how he was depicted in Robot Chicken
@@aaronpasache1847 there’s a decent amount of Robot Chicken jokes in the game. Max Rebo like you said, plus Order 67 being a dance, Yarael Poof getting his own sidequest and being worshipped
“Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is this line supposed to be?
@@redgravemirren no idea
@@StainderFin Literal quote from the fucking video you godamn fin.
@@redgravemirren definitely not supposed jury.
@@redgravemirren Johnny Cochran actually said that sentence at one point in the trial. It's ridiculous, isn't it? It doesn't even make sense grammatically. And that is why everyone remembered that line from the trial, and why they put it in this episode of South Park. Johnny Cochran was a snake.
i appreciate the jury being depicted as having no intelligence whatsoever
Take the everyman and put them in a stand. Goodluck with your fate.
That's par the course. The jury consists of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Ever heard of jury selection (voir dire)? The lawyers make sure the jury is inept. It's madness.
@@InvertedWIng that’s really part of the problem. Intelligent persons should want to do their civic duty and be on juries- to ensure our Justice system performs the way it’s intended. It’s not as much as a day’s work, but you do get paid.
“Supposed” jury
Damn can't believe the chewbacca defense is a level in the skywalker saga game
glad someone else remembered
same with Better Call Maul
I lost it after I beaten the level and saw what it was called 😂
Yep, lol so good.
The real comedy being that this fiction actually paralleled the O.J. trial pretty accurately.
Almost as if thats the point
You probably weren’t even alive for that trial
You understood the joke? Holy shit you are a genius
It doesn't. I watched his closing arguments after OJ's death, which were 6 to 7 hours long. Reducing a master at work to couple of sentences is a great disservice. He was so compelling, no jury in the world would have found him guilty.
lmao there was nothing compelling about him. His entire defense strategy was conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo and drawing irrelevant conclusions (like he did with the Fuhrman tapes) to support his conspiracy theory. Character evidence does not confer guilt, and Cochran had no physical evidence to substantiate his claims either, which is why he resorted to the use of deflection satirized in this scene
I used to think Johnny was a fiction for the show
But then I found out he was real and he really did get OJ Simpson off trial
That trial was a regular three-ring circus.
@Kris Martin
System doesn't always work right ?
Well atleast karma won't fail and world does work in mysterious ways
Life is usually strange than fiction.
@@madtitanangelo5079
Life's a lot of things
Yeah because he managed to catch that racist cop in a lie. Total right call in my opinion. He was obviously guilty but with cops like that it certainly provides ample doubt.
"If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." It was the stupidest argument to an obvious murder but the jury was scammed. One of the greatest injustices in history.
No, no it’s a sound argument
In the minds of some people It evened it up after the cops who beat Rodney King on videotape were acquitted. Also the head cop on the Simpson case, Mark Furman, who found most of the evidence, had a history of using the word nigger in a racist context and perjured himself by denying that under oath. That was good enough to get him an analyst job with Fox News.
Unfortunately not enough evidence. I think more people get wrongly found innocent than wrongly convicted of crimes generally. Most definitely not one of the biggest injustices of all time. One of the most infamous for sure
@@boataxe4605 Rodney King was resisting arrest. Watch the video again. It's not as bad as the media made it out to be. That's why the cops were acquitted. They followed procedure in subduing a resisting subject.
@A S... He was proved innocent. PROVED!!!! Let that sink in for a bit
Who's here after OJ died?
Cartman sounds so different in the first 5 seasons
Yeah I loved his original voice.
I prefer this voice
I prefer his current voice
Most of the kids do really. Consequence of age
@@nickxcore74 that's basically a different character, the jokes that worked with that Cartman are no longer applicable, the boys are approaching puberty after all...
Here because OJ died today...
I love that their hatred of Johnny Cochran carried over into Book of Mormon when Elder Price meets him in Hell
"If the wookiee doesn't fit, you must acquit" - Gandhi

It's on youtube, literally look it up
They already did that lol
bruh just rent out the movie

This is literally Amber Heard's lawyers right now.
The "muffin defense"
Pssh so tired of you idiot it's just a distraction from the GHISLAINE MAXWELL TRIAL
Not excatly. Here Johnnie Cochran succeed to win the trial by convincing the jury. Amber Heard's lawyers did not succeed.
I mean if they used the Chewbacca Defense they probably would've had a better chance of winning.
"The most important trial of the...uh...day." "Ladies and gentlemen of this _supposed_ jury."
Amber heard lawyers????
Who’s here after OJ died.this aged well
Endor is a moon, not a planet; therefore, mistrial.
endor is a planet- the movie took place on endor's moon
Funny how this was recommended to me during right after I watched today’s Kyle Rittenhouse Trial
As a non American, I didn't know who this lawyer was. But, when I saw this character on south park, I was like "OMG IT'S THE SEINFELD LAWYER". Gotta say, laughed my ass off with both, just unbelievably funny depictions
This post confusing Johnny Cochran with Jackie Chiles is audacious, bodacious, and surely hellacious.
Don’t feel bad. Most Americans don’t know either
Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld is a parody of Johnnie Cochran
He was the lawyer who confused the jury in a similar way to this and got oj simpson acquitted of murder.
When the judge tells chef he'll go to jail for 8 million years, that always gets me lol
yes the 100% guaranteed tactic to win anything. The Chewbacca defence😂
I like how the prosecution and the defense somehow switch sides and nobody notices.
Or how it goes from a civil to criminal trial.
What's so stupid about the Chewbacca Defense is that Cochran is literally admitting that he's bullshitting around and is not expected to be taken seriously, but he just speaks so quickly that you don't have time to react.
This is what the rittenhouse prosecutors used
Na, Binger may have won if he'd used the Chewbacca strategy.
Rittenhouse would be behind bars if they used this method
OMG DID SOUTH PARK PREDICT THE AMBER HEARD TRIAL?!
Don’t know but if amber heard a lawyer uses this Johnny’s screwed
My neighbors partied all night long when he was acquitted. Like it was 1999.
But he was acquitted in...you know what never mind.
the jury admitted they voted not guilty out of revenge for the rodney king incident, just wanted a black guy to get away with something.
@@cornpop9048 they should be ashamed of themselves
@@Pagemaster22193
Maybe LAPD should have been ashamed of itself for planting evidence in that case which basically led to the decision, also the racist POS Mark Furhman, the detective, his racist rant contributed to further Distrustfulness of LAPD on the case which should have been an open & shut case.
Lol white America got trolled that day
I wonder if the "Chewbacca Defense" would work with my wife???
Lego starwars brought me here
now we have the "bleach defense"

Just seen Amber’s Heard attorney using this defense today 😂
