"recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited"

 

yet here we are, a meme.

The judge in that case actually posted it to YouTube. I know that lawyer and he’s lucky the bars in Marfa and Alpine are mostly closed because he’s going to be meowed at relentlessly when they open back up.

I cracked up the second time through watching the reaction from the other attorney.

The worried eyes at the beginning are purrfect. 

Some of the Twitter comments are gold.

@Austinvinesbuy that guy a beer and tell him he's not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed.  I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

They were preparing for this guy to show up at the deposition

I cried tears laughing, haven’t done that in a while! 

Nothing but respect for Mr. Pontin.  He went from total embarrassment to “I am prepared to go forward with it” in the space of thirty seconds.  

Tears.  That shouldn’t be that funny.

He almost does a Hank Hill “bwaaaahhh!”

I was on a conference with a bunch of attorneys and judges today....and that was absolutely where we all ended up (and several folks knew the lawyer at issue).  We all found it hysterical.....and then admired him for the pure "fuck it, let's do this" attitude. 

I’ve watched every meme video since the “I seen a leprechaun” and grape stomp lady were on 2004 YouTube. Without a doubt this is the one I’ve laughed the most/longest/hardest. 
 

Just completely captures the last 5 years perfectly. 

Ha. I've had a battle with Mr. Ponton - he is a character. He's had a long career out there. Showed the Texas Rangers they were full of shit, so he's earned more than a little good will. 

You may be big, but if you wanna see how bad you are, c’mon!

You don’t run this deposition, do you understand?

You watch and see big boy. 
You ain’t telling me a god damn thing.

Don’t be telling another lawyer to shut up. That ain’t your god damn job fat boy!

That's the one that got me busting out laughing.

Wow that is awesome.

i’m wondering who the fuck his assistant is zooming with using a cat filter.

I've got an 8am zoom call with a new client. I hope I figure out the filter situation first.

Damnit, Norah O’Donnell, your writers set you up perfectly with “catastrophe” but you botched the delivery. Swing and a miss.

Had a guy I supervise join the morning zoom with his camera off, but we clearly all heard him flushing the toilet in the background. I’ve made clear to him that he’s already on pretty thin ice with regards to professionalism and attitude, I have no idea WTF he’s thinking with this.

Maybe he was thinking "I gotta hurry up and finish this dump and get on this fucking call the asshole boss scheduled during my shitter time"

So you just want him to leave a floater?

If he called with the camera on while shitting, I’d congratulate him for being a total boss and look at him for management roles. But with it off, he just looks like a dipshit who forgot to mute.

The seal-like noise she makes is permanently burned into my brain. 

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.  Definitely viral worthy.

phenomenal reference

Judge Jerry Buchmeyer is up above having a good laugh. His always entertaining column in the Texas Bar Journal was the first thing I would read.

 

My wife has been opposing council to Mr. Ponton a few cases.

According to her, Ponton is renowned for being a horrible, lazy, unprepared, unprofessional, and just plain dumbass attorney. Even before this recent hilarity, he was a joke to my wife and her colleagues. Which makes this even funnier, because he really is that fucking stupid.

Participants aren't allowed to record the hearings, but the courts do.

I honestly don't know how the reactions weren't bigger. I would've been laughing my ass off. 

Just realized Judge Ferguson and I were in Longhorn Band together in the 80's, just "Roy" back then, acquaintances but not friends (sax and trumpet, oil and water...), small world.

Sent this to an attorney today. His response was “that’s hilarious and only a lawyer would be compelled to respond with ‘I’m not a cat’.” I still don’t know how those other people on the zoom weren’t laughing.

@Brisketexan or anone else. What’s the link for the other famous Texas depo? I can’t find it.

Edit- never mind I found it

No kidding.  I was on a meet with a handful of teachers the other day.  One could clearly hear one of the teacher's kids practicing on the trombone.  It was truly god-awful.  I had to keep moving myself out of view so nobody could see me laughing.    

  • 1 year later...

Le bump.

 

My wife was deposing cat man's client yesterday by zoom, and apparently cat man just walked out in the middle of the depo, while his client was talking. His secretary said he had to go to court, and to carry on without him, and that she could let cat man know if anything important came up.

 

edit: no he wasn't wearing his cat costume during the depo.
