Objection! There is a conflict of interest! The judge has proclaimed that he, quote, "loves this episode so much", and cannot therefore be trusted to make an unbiased decision!
Yea seems pretty obvious, it's a representation of the early violent cartoons that received a lot of parental backlash in the early days of animation. Disney wasn't really a part of that so much. It was more of spoof of Hanna Barbera and Warner Bros.
Actually, it was Fleicher Studios, Disney's earlier rivals (producers of Betty Boop, Popeye, and later the Superman Cartoons) that was the original flagship for cartoons with violence and a more adult bent.
While that is somewhat true, they also take a lot of inspiration of Disney. The first Itchy cartoon is steamboat Itchy, which is a clear reference of Mickey Mouse' first cartoon Steamboat Willy. The whole studio behind Itchy and Scratchy is very reminiscent of Disney, with Roger Mayer Sr. being a frozen head referecing all the rumors that Walt Disney actually froze himself.

I heard that Jackie Gleason considered suing "The Flintstones" for blatantly copying "The Honeymooners," but he decided against it because he didn't want to be forever remembered as the guy who killed "The Flintstones."
This video just reminded you that you can't sue for copying ideas. Gleason, as the creator, could have tried to sue, but it wouldn't have been be successful.

A lot of these similar cameos I've missed over the years, and DEFINITELY upon initial viewing as a child.
Letters are important too, like leaving an “s” out of controversy makes for a very funny comment, seeing as it’s about the importance of detail (in this case the comment being about punctuation).
my favorite Simpsons fourth wall break of all time: Bart and Homer are watching the Thanksgiving Day parade and, as they're sharing a complaint about rampant commercialization of art or something like that, a Bart Simpson balloon appears on the screen for like half a second
@@dielaughing73 I enjoy the moment when the show starts mocking catchphrases, calling them tired and dated, and then almost every character on the show that has a catchphrase makes an appearance.
The Poochie episode is one of my favorites for that reason. It makes fun of the process of how cartoons are made and the entertainment industry in general. It's hilariously self deprecating.
Objection! You left out the best line in the episode: "This court awards the claimant 100 billion dollars.... though that amount'll probably vome down on appeal."
I think this was so accurate, not only because they probably have a really good lawyer team, but also because the people who work on the Simpsons are actually really smart.
1:10 Objection! Itchy and Scratchy is not primarily a more violent parody of Disney, rather it's a parody of Tom and Jerry which is owned by Warner Bros.
I also remember an episode where Itchy And Scratchy Studios was going by "ScratchyLu Productions" in reference to DesiLu created by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz(sp?) If it is pop culture, Simpsons did it, or they just haven't gotten around to it yet.
@@kurt9395 Objection! I never talked about who created Tom and Jerry, rather I was talking about the owners. In reality, according to this piece of evidence : warnerbroscartoons.fandom.com/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry They've currently been owned by Warner Media since 1996. Technically Warner Media isn't Warner Bros. but in common venicular all of Warner is best known as Warner Bros.
Love to see that. Would also like to see him comment on Bogo firing Judy before they make the deal about solving the case, since most people are like "Wow, screw him! Judy was just doing her job!", when really, he was well within his rights to fire her for what she did.
@@Visplight Westeros isn't an American city either, but what do you think a lawyer specializing in American law would use as frame of reference? Food for thought.
Visplight we don’t know Gotham’s fine laws, but he still used American (more specifically New York’s (I think) legal standards) morals and standards in *The Dark Knight*
Fairly open and shut case if you ask me. Restaurant promises “all you can eat”, does not deliver on said promise. It shouldn’t have even gone to court.
Well Chester would have not fulfilled his contract and I'm sure they'd have to settle but Abe couldn't force Chester to paint his coop. You can't be compelled to action in violation of contract.
Given how famously over-educated the Simpson's/Futurama writing crew is I have no doubt that real lawyers were involved in the making of the best worst lawyer on TV.
12:48 you missed the part where Bart removes the image from the frame, an autograph is evident, in which Lampwick dedicated the image to Roger Meyers, Sr., encouraging him to keep drawing. The date on the signature also predates Itchy's first appearance in 'Steamboat Itchy'.
Best part of the “Amendment to Be”/“I’m Just A Bill” parody is that Jack Sheldon, the voice of “Bill” was also the voice of the Amendment in the Simpsons parody. Brilliant.
As an artist and musician, I’ve often heard the myth of a “Poor Man’s Copyright”. This is where one mails a copy of ones creation to themselves and keeps it unopened. The idea is that this gives proof of the date of creation. Now, I call this a myth because I’ve read many times that it just doesn’t have legal standing. However, I’ve also read here and there that it does. Would you be willing to make a video on this topic? There are a lot of creative folks on RUclips and I’m sure they’d love to learn more about this topic. It is right up your alley.
opening and resealing an envelope is pretty easy, you would need some way to prove you didn't tamper with it this is why you need a neutral third party to act as a guarantor that you did file something at a specific time
Simpsons does throw in little "oh wows" like that law stuff. My favorite is Skinner finds his Vietnam prisoner helmet. Number 24601. Jean ValJeans number from Les Miserables.
Not only was this absolutely fantastic, loved it, it reminds me why old Simpsons was so good. A cohesive story rather than 5 plots 3 lines each. A joke sentence contained more than one joke. A single tiny gag could provide an entire commentary on the education System in America. Great episode, I miss Lionel
Carl Carlson There’s a cartoon in Japan that never hit North America it has more episodes than the Simpsons and it’s the longest go in cartoon in history. And technically there are more episodes of Scooby Doo then there are of the Simpsons.
Rio Aiello but Scooby Doo isn’t an on going show it’s been re made a bunch of times. That’s like saying Spider-Man is a 7 movie series. Spider-Man has been rebooted 3 times now so we can’t count it as a 7 movie movie series. I don’t know what Japanese show you’re referring to but that could be totally true although it’s obviously way less successful than the simpsons
Rio Aiello I’ll take your word for it, but I wasn’t referring to the quantity of episodes or awards won. I was merely suggesting that the quality of the earlier seasons is unparalleled. All subjective of course.
OBJECTION!! Not nearly enough Lionel Hutz. And I can't be the only person who feels this way. You make another Lionel Hutz episode or you're gonna have a Class Action on your hands, mister!
Phil Hartman, the voice actor for Lionel Hutz, is dead. Killed by his wife. Out of respect for the man, they retired his characters. This is why you don't see Troy McClure anymore, either. The man was a treasure, and it's sad he was taken from us so soon.

Thank you for explaining the rule about naming law firms. Just the other day I passed a building full of law offices and I thought, "If I were a lawyer, I'd call it Law-Mart."
Exactly what I was thinking about! As a sidenote: because George Romero didn’t make any money from all those releases on DVD and such, he had to struggle for money most of his career and to make indie films. Imagine what his career would have been like if he’d remembered to include that little copyright notice.
@@surfercharlie25 actually, they didn't so much forget to do it, as much as they forgot to put it back. IIRC they decided to change the title last minute. And then had to also change the titlecárd, which originally hád a copyright notice on it. They just forgot to put it back.
@@surfercharlie25 I think that was something he liked though. He did Land of the Living Dead with a big studio and absolutely hated the Hollywood style process. He swore he would never work in Hollywood again after that.

I mean Chester was provided a fee in the form of the muffins to do the work. It's not a written contract, it's a verbal contract. It does hold up as silly and outrageous as it sounds.
I was about to say [until you pointed it out,] copyright law in 1919 wasn't the same as today where you get automatic copyright. Night of the Living Dead is a perfect example of this. The studio changed the title at the last minute which meant they had to update the movie to show the new title. In the process, they forgot to include the copyright notice and it fell into the public domain.

It's funny because it makes fun of how horrible Lawyers can be when fighting on the bad side... but at the same time, pokes fun at the fact that we don't have enough Lawyers for all people...
This entire episode was so much fun to watch, because he clearly loves this episode so much, and it shows. It's always a delight to watch someone share something they love.
objection! since chester created the character in 1919 and roger myers "stole" it in 1928, 5 years after the 1923 amendment to copyright law (which stated everything before 1923 was no longer under copyright) then surely the character of itchy was not under copyright at that time(1928) and roger myers was within his rights to use the character?
I like your argument, I find it and this video particularly interesting as I'm currently studying Copyright law at Harvard law. The effect of the 1923 ammendment was not to revoke existing copyrights but led to those copyrights falling into the public domain as is the case when any copyright lapses. If that's the case Roger Myers cannot have exclusive rights to the characters as they belong to everyone

The charge is bank robbery. Now, my caddie's chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested. Therefore, robbing a bank is tantamount to that most heinous of crimes, theft of money!
There was actually another somewhat well-known stamp image copyright case. The USPS released a stamp with the face of the Statute of Liberty on it. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, except someone goofed and used an image of the Statute of Liberty statute at New York-New York Casino in Las Vegas which has a different face from the one in New York Harbor.
Either the "Bart Gets Hit By a Car" trial (Lionel Hutz's first appearance) or the "All You Can Eat Seafood Buffet" trial. The latter is an absolute classic.
Awesome that you mentioned Peter Teal and the Gawker case. I heard about it before when it happened but only delved into it after seeing the Documentary "Nobody Speak". Really fascinating case.
Objection! At the start of the video, you clearly state a bias in favor of this episode, and yet you have failed to recuse yourself from this case! This is a mistrial! Love your content, dude. Hope you're staying safe.
Tom and Jerry themselves were a sort of inside joke at how violent cartoons like bugs bunny were. It's kind of amazing following a vein of inspiration :)

If you haven't done it, do Homer vs. Captain McCalestor. Lionel Hutz actual won that case.
"Does this sound like a man who had 'ALL' he could eat?"
All fat jury: NO!
Fat juror: That could have been ME!!
I know Homer should've won that case, but I would have moved for a mistrial on the grounds that the jury would've been sympathizing with Homer from the start.
I also want to see the one where Bart gets hit by Mr Burns' car. I'd like to see at what point disbarment and such would be an issue. Also the one where Mr Burns tries to adopt Bart and the legal issues around that
Say what you will about Lionel Hutz, but he knows how to select a jury.
@@DrTssha It was more likely selected by the Springfield Court, but the jury was made up of people who would easily be swayed to Homer's side. Even if the jury would sway to my side easily, I would still move for a mistrial on the grounds of not having a truly impartial jury.
@@oneofmanyparadoxfans5447 but if by sheer luck, the jury duty notices fell upon those who happened to be overweight and obese, then the jury findings still stands
"Who is the voice of Chester Lampwick?"
Ah, classic Simpsons, when celebrity cameos were written to serve a function of the story, rather than to just exist as obvious cameos.
It never even occurred to me that Chester was voiced by a celebrity, even after all these years. I didn't recognize his voice, so I just assumed it was one of the regular voice actors. A lot of these similar cameos I've missed over the years, and DEFINITELY upon initial viewing as a child.

I like that when Hutz mentions Chief Wiggum, Wiggum looks over at the plaintiffs to see if he's been found out
@@dielaughing73 I enjoy the moment when the show starts mocking catchphrases, calling them tired and dated, and then almost every character on the show that has a catchphrase makes an appearance.
The Poochie episode is one of my favorites for that reason. It makes fun of the process of how cartoons are made and the entertainment industry in general. It's hilariously self deprecating.
7:10 "No, Money Down" is also one of my favorite jokes. I always saw it as a grammar joke more than a legal one.

1:10 Objection! Itchy and Scratchy is not primarily a more violent parody of Disney, rather it's a parody of Tom and Jerry which is owned by Warner Bros.
thank you
That may be true as normally portrayed but the first Itchy cartoon in the episode was a clear parody of Mickey Mouse.
I also remember an episode where Itchy And Scratchy Studios was going by "ScratchyLu Productions" in reference to DesiLu created by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz(sp?)
If it is pop culture, Simpsons did it, or they just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Objection! Tom and Jerry was not created by Warner Bros., but by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The successor corporation is MGM Holdings, Inc.
@@kurt9395 Objection! I never talked about who created Tom and Jerry, rather I was talking about the owners. In reality, according to this piece of evidence : warnerbroscartoons.fandom.com/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry

Love to see that. Would also like to see him comment on Bogo firing Judy before they make the deal about solving the case, since most people are like "Wow, screw him! Judy was just doing her job!", when really, he was well within his rights to fire her for what she did.

Since Zootopia isn't an American city, there's no reason why it would run by American law.
@@Visplight Westeros isn't an American city either, but what do you think a lawyer specializing in American law would use as frame of reference? Food for thought.

Finally we got to Lionel Hutz.
Best and worst tv lawyer ever

Given how famously over-educated the Simpson's/Futurama writing crew is I have no doubt that real lawyers were involved in the making of the best worst lawyer on TV.
I demand more Lionel Hutz!
@@seneca983 Last I heard he is being tried for practicing law without a license.
12:48 you missed the part where Bart removes the image from the frame, an autograph is evident, in which Lampwick dedicated the image to Roger Meyers, Sr., encouraging him to keep drawing. The date on the signature also predates Itchy's first appearance in 'Steamboat Itchy'.
lol. i just said that. 😂
Best part of the “Amendment to Be”/“I’m Just A Bill” parody is that Jack Sheldon, the voice of “Bill” was also the voice of the Amendment in the Simpsons parody. Brilliant.
There is so much courtroom material in The Simpsons, you could make a mini-series reacting to it all.
has he done krusty gets busted?..its a good episode
I would support this to it's fullest extent.
MORE LIONEL HUTZ!
I hope he does. I think I would hire Lionel Hutz. I live in Texas so it would barely be a difference with our kangaroo courts here.
As an artist and musician, I’ve often heard the myth of a “Poor Man’s Copyright”.
This is where one mails a copy of ones creation to themselves and keeps it unopened. The idea is that this gives proof of the date of creation.
Now, I call this a myth because I’ve read many times that it just doesn’t have legal standing. However, I’ve also read here and there that it does.
Would you be willing to make a video on this topic? There are a lot of creative folks on RUclips and I’m sure they’d love to learn more about this topic. It is right up your alley.
I love the idea but that would be giving extremely broad legal advice in a RUclips video which is a big time no no.
JonnyB
No need for giving advice necessarily.
opening and resealing an envelope is pretty easy, you would need some way to prove you didn't tamper with it this is why you need a neutral third party to act as a guarantor that you did file something at a specific time

@@user-uc2he9wb2f probably still cheaper than filing for copyright
OBJECTION! He never said he should own the rights to cartoon violence, just that he created it
There was a copyright symbol at the end of the first cartoon meaning he had the rights to it
@@NotMysticc that particular cartoon, yes, not cartoon violence as a whole
Agreed, I was thinking that as well.
It definitely sounded like "... also an addendum, I created the idea of cartoon violence."
Simpsons does throw in little "oh wows" like that law stuff. My favorite is Skinner finds his Vietnam prisoner helmet. Number 24601. Jean ValJeans number from Les Miserables.
This! I believe that was at the neighborhood garage sale in the episode with George H. W. Bush.
Not only was this absolutely fantastic, loved it, it reminds me why old Simpsons was so good. A cohesive story rather than 5 plots 3 lines each. A joke sentence contained more than one joke. A single tiny gag could provide an entire commentary on the education
System in America. Great episode, I miss Lionel
The earlier seasons of the Simpsons are something else. No cartoon comes close.
Carl Carlson you’re famous
@@mrchamp9171 But he's nobody without Lenny!
Carl Carlson There’s a cartoon in Japan that never hit North America it has more episodes than the Simpsons and it’s the longest go in cartoon in history. And technically there are more episodes of Scooby Doo then there are of the Simpsons.
Rio Aiello but Scooby Doo isn’t an on going show it’s been re made a bunch of times. That’s like saying Spider-Man is a 7 movie series. Spider-Man has been rebooted 3 times now so we can’t count it as a 7 movie movie series. I don’t know what Japanese show you’re referring to but that could be totally true although it’s obviously way less successful than the simpsons
Rio Aiello I’ll take your word for it, but I wasn’t referring to the quantity of episodes or awards won.
I was merely suggesting that the quality of the earlier seasons is unparalleled. All subjective of course.
I just love how much fun he’s having with this episode
"We don't want trial by ambush"
Tell literally every district attorney that exists about that.

Conchúr Ó Scannláin and whenever Lionel Hutz isn’t on screen, Legal Eagle should be asking “where’s Lionel Hutz?”
say hello to Miguel Sanchez!
Phil Hartman, the voice actor for Lionel Hutz, is dead. Killed by his wife. Out of respect for the man, they retired his characters. This is why you don't see Troy McClure anymore, either.
The man was a treasure, and it's sad he was taken from us so soon.
@@JohnEusebioToronto I mean, Legal Eagle should do more episodes about the character Lionel Hutz, not that Fox should necromance Phil Hartman back into the recording booth.

As a sidenote: because George Romero didn’t make any money from all those releases on DVD and such, he had to struggle for money most of his career and to make indie films. Imagine what his career would have been like if he’d remembered to include that little copyright notice.
@@surfercharlie25 actually, they didn't so much forget to do it, as much as they forgot to put it back.
IIRC they decided to change the title last minute. And then had to also change the titlecárd, which originally hád a copyright notice on it. They just forgot to put it back.
OmikronWeapon You’re right. I forgot to mention that part of the story. :)
@@surfercharlie25 I think that was something he liked though. He did Land of the Living Dead with a big studio and absolutely hated the Hollywood style process. He swore he would never work in Hollywood again after that.

@@bend170
Cash setlement?
I was about to say [until you pointed it out,] copyright law in 1919 wasn't the same as today where you get automatic copyright. Night of the Living Dead is a perfect example of this. The studio changed the title at the last minute which meant they had to update the movie to show the new title. In the process, they forgot to include the copyright notice and it fell into the public domain.

objection! since chester created the character in 1919 and roger myers "stole" it in 1928, 5 years after the 1923 amendment to copyright law (which stated everything before 1923 was no longer under copyright) then surely the character of itchy was not under copyright at that time(1928) and roger myers was within his rights to use the character?
I like your argument, I find it and this video particularly interesting as I'm currently studying Copyright law at Harvard law.
The effect of the 1923 ammendment was not to revoke existing copyrights but led to those copyrights falling into the public domain as is the case when any copyright lapses. If that's the case Roger Myers cannot have exclusive rights to the characters as they belong to everyone
