'I’m not a cat': lawyer gets stuck on Zoom kitten filter during court case
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2021
- A lawyer showed up to virtual court in the 394th district of Texas with a kitten filter turned on, the cat moving its lips and eyes, as Rod Ponton said he and his assistant were attempting to remove the filter during the court case.
The judge later posted the snipped and wrote: 'If a child used your computer before you join a virtual hearing, check the Zoom video options to be sure filters are off. This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th.'

The fact that the cat looks worried and mortified just makes it that much more hilarious
I've got tears down my face from laughter. The cats expression really does put it over the top.
@@jxchambI’m now crying laughing at your comment 😂 poor thing!
OMG! Hadn't realized that! True!
The cat sounds and looks genuinely upset 🤣🤣 Too funny 😂
fact youtube comments are funny
I appreciate how he needed to clarify that he was not a cat
Just like you're not a little white puppy, huh???
@@crazymusicgrlcheesecake Wow what a edgy comment
@@rodericksutton2983wtf are you talking about

@@crazymusicgrlcheesecakewell someone's clearly looking for an argument.
"I'm not a cat" sounds like something a cat would say.

I'm not a cat indeed does sounds exactly like something a cat would say.

What a catastrophe! 🙀
Look at my lawyer dawg. I'm going to jail 😂😂
Well actually happened UF you realize this😂😂😂😂😳🤯😳🤯😝😝😝
@@JayJ95Xsir thats a lawyer cat
Imagine having studied a career as a lawyer and ending up being a nervous kitten while defending your client.
Literally😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAH
I'm deceased 😂😂😂
I think he's almost about to retire. 😂
Before retirement, what an experiment. 😅
He suspiciously denies being a cat even though no one accused him.
Theres so much fun here
Exactly me and my team are under the opinion that he is most definitely a cat and we will not stand for this dishonest feline making a mockery of our human Court!
kinda sus
@@TrollHiddenCave 😂😂😂
Plot twist: He is actually a dog.
"I am prepared to go forward with it."
Respect.
This statement got me!!! hahaha
I think it's a cat only. Reality is not what you think
😂
@@6senses1mindhe says 'i'm not a cat', the reply is 'i can see that', while everybody can see clearly that he is indeed a cat. They're both in it, I'm guessing.

"I'm prepared to go forward with it".
What an alpha.
Haha
Well he’s a feline so
He had the perfect voice for that petrified looking cat. 🤣
I really didnt expect to laugh out loud when I clicked, but when I heard that freaking voice 😂
I thought the voice was through filter too, but it turns out it was the real voice :)))
especially the 0:12 huaaaa 😂
He should be a voice actor for petrified cats in the future
lmbooo
Why does "I’m not a cat" sound like he’s trying to convince himself
Like he goes to the mirror, says the phrase “I’m not a cat” multiple times while continuously splashing water on his face
*That cracked me up .*
💀💀💀💀
@@lbarreda 😭😭✋🏾
Yeah😂😂
I am embarrassed to admit how many times I've watched this. The fact that the cat filter's expression looks panicked and matches perfectly with the attorney's voice just cracks me up every time. Especially when the cat nods and agrees with the judge.
I just discovered this clip. 40 solid mins later I still can't stop laughing. Startin to get worried...
@@Ignatius_Livesme to I'm dying
You know it already. This will never get old. It's forever.
Absolutely
Yes! No matter how many times it appears on my timeline I still find it funny.

🤣🤣🤣
The dodgy eyes and shaky voice just makes this perfect
Because he's an actual cat and got busted 😂
Purrrfect
Totally agree with you, it is a scream to watch. Poor bloke!!
Just found out, it's just how the lawyer speaks in daily basis.
And that helpless face😂
He’s sounds like he’s terrified of his new cat form
Cause he is
He had a dream about this exact situation. And it came true.
He knows what's on the internet
No! It sounds like his assistant is doing other things than Just removing the filter! It sounds like she is resurrecting him if you get what i mean?
Plot twist there was no filter
The guy putting on his glasses to make sure he's seeing correctly makes this much funnier
Then leans waaaaay in
Still hits the spot 3 years later.
Yes, yes it does
💯
I can't believe this was 3 years ago... wow. Still epic!
Right?
Removing the cat filter is easy, but he first has to find the mouse.
Best comment I’ve heard 🤣🤣🤣
😸😸😸
Underrated
This was the best comment
This was GREAT
"*I think* you have a filter."
Not totally ruling out that he may be a cat.
No wonder the dude pleaded that he is not a cat 😂😂
Innocent until proven guilty
this had me dying laughing thank you.
It's not beyond reasonable doubt

Took off their HUMAN MASKS

The sheer look of panic through the eyes of the cat filter face sends me every time.

The voice matches the frightened/confused cat filter perfectly.
Yeees! Haha, it wouldn’t be the same if it were the other way around
Hope rod's doing well
Don't tell anyone, but I m not a real cat, don't wanna upset neighborhood cats if you know...
Kidding 😂
He has since become a voice over actor.
Lost? Frightened? Confused?
I love how top right goes from super serious to laughing in about 3 seconds when he says "Im not a cat"
I don’t know how they could not laugh at this. I’d have been gasping for air from all the belly laughs. Everything from the nervous look of the cat to the guy’s panicky voice and to the “I’m not a cat”. This will never not be funny no matter how many times I watch and no matter how much time has passed. 😂🤣
The man at the top right almost broke into laughter when the lawyer said "Im not a cat" ahahahaha
“I’m not a cat”
Exactly something a cat posing as a lawyer would say.
Guilty
Someone give that fluffball a tie
cat me if you can
Purr-fect comment
‘I swear I’m not a cat!’
‘The evidence says otherwise councillor.’
The cat’s eyes darting around nervously as he realizes he forgot his human filter.
XD 🤣😂🤣
"I'm not a cat...", hopefully these other hoomans believe me.
Hahaha
This made my day ;)
Exactly. First sign of deceit
"I'm prepared to go forward with it."😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm not a cat"
"OBJECTION!!"
😂
The fact that he says "I'm not a cat" in a nervous tone, makes it funnier
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats what a cat would say
Well done, Arletty.
That makes this entire video😂
"I got my assistant here" his five-year-old granddaughter, probably
Lol.😀😆😅😄😃
Well it does say in the description that someone used his laptop before and used that filter lol
@@ammagon4519 It was his son 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was his pa's daughter who was playing on her laptop
I just watched this now, and it makes me appreciate the little bits of fun during the pandemic
Every time I see this, I laugh til I cry. This video never gets old. 😂😂😂💀
The shaky, deep southern accent of an old man on the worried little face of a kitten as he attempts to plead with the judge that he is in fact, not a cat, is hilarious.
And cute 😂
Hahaha
he isn't a cat
@@CheddarCheeseRebirthed sounds like something a cat would say
LOL
"I'm not a cat"
- "Well, you should call your lawyer to prove that!"
Smart
Cat moment
SILENCE VERIFIED
He's the lawer!
Very funny grandpa now where did you keep your meds?
I like how the judge had to keep his video setting turned off to not be seen humorously laughing/smiling during the case.
This made the quarantine worth it 😌
I love how he gets nervous and thinks "I best clarify that I'm not a cat"
Me doing a presentation in class.
That's what a disguised cat would say
Fun fact: he is a cat
"Ah...I can...I can...see that" 😂😂
That's such a lawyer move
He sounds like he’s desperately trying to convince his friends that he is, in fact, not a cat.

Those people really aren’t his friends but still funny though

dont know what its like to be you.

He tried to fix it, but he couldn't find the mouse.
"My assistant"....in other words his 14 year old granddaughter
🤣🤣🤣🤣
unnecessary comment moment
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Half true.
He was using his assistants work computer, whom has a very young daughter, that she calls from work, using the cat filter to give her child a giggle. It was left on by default. 🤭
who altso turned the filter on 😂
“I’m not a cat”
“Objection, your honor. As the jury can see, he is indeed, a cat!”

@@camillechou4163 Two MAMMALS!
@@camillechou4163Are you insinuating that cats aren’t people? You’d better keep quiet lest they hear about it and decide that you’re their next meal.
I love the long silence after he says "I'm not a cat."
- A cat can't speak
- A person can speak
- This cat can speak
- Therefore this cat is not a cat. he is a person.
Easy logic
The fact he thought he had to tell judge he isn’t a cat had me laughing so much
@@stevensko9153 Wrong!!! The fact that he said it after acknowledging that it’s a filter says otherwise. 🤣
Their politeness makes it all funnier "i think you have a filter on" "im not a cat" and such x)
He is cat tho
Legally, he is required to or else he'd be in contempt of court.

Let us state for the record that he is in fact ... Not a cat .... 🤣

That's federal prison time! 😏
I believe all court dates are held publicly because a closed courtroom would be seen as unfair and unjust. That's why I thought all these zoom court meetings are being put on public like youtube.
What makes this so funny is how distressed and anxious the cat looks, as if it’s channeling the lawyers embarrassment.
Mm

He's a cat now
By "assistant," I'm assuming that he means that his 5 year old daughter is showing her daddy how to turn the filter off. Or at least that's what I want to think because it's cute.
