Sure. You can ask jury to disregard the statement. Will they? Or are you going to ask for a mistrial?

[@CasshernSinz1613]

​@pavelshliaha1706 both options may very well be possible. Lots of cases get tossed out because evidence was improperly submitted even after the jury sees/hears it. The process is rather strict.

Attorney Tom has seen the original clip, and the fact that Brennan improv-ed a better and more accurate lawyer scene than most law dramas is amazing according to a lawyer

[@SakaNaomi]

I was watching this thinking he was doing such a good job laying out the defense's story in the trial rather than making the argument right there (the most common mistake)

[@calebb5106]

[@beemoney19]

I love Brennan's realization that Zac is waiting for a better opening before engaging with the scene and finally refers to his character directly with a rhetorical question that allows Zac to crush the ball into next week. And Zac doesn't hesitate, doesn't overdo it. Just spikes it quick and clean. Genius work by both.

[@OffYourTopic]

One of my favorite game changer bits. Brennans ability to monologue at any time is amazing. And Zac is just a mischievous little guy.

[@emilysmith2965]

Just a lil guy!

[@DeepBlueInk]

A scamp if you will

[@spacetearable]

teh SCAMPIEST LIL SCAMP EVAR.

[@mistamemewide]

He plays a cat really well

[@TinyTim4115]

From a comedy perspective, what I think goes unnoticed/underrated is the massive amount of trust Brennan has in Zac to deliver the punchline… Brennan has no idea when Zac is coming in, so Brennan has to monologue (which he is incredible at), but he doesn’t have to go out of his way to guide Zac to a punchline. He can just monologue a generic lawyer speech and he knows Zac will hit his mark when he wants. Really small, but that’s what impressed me most

[@CrownofMischief]

I knew Sam would be the judge, but I totally glossed over the idea of Josh being the prosecution despite it being obvious in hindsight

[@Namz011]

The Joshecution, I suppose?

[@tennoyamamoto1800]

Brennan's improv skills and Zach's comedic timing, individually they're already great but together, it's definitely one of my favorite interactions in Game Changer

[@andprosser]

It's also just "both of their great improv skills." Brennan did a great job communicating both to the audience and to Zac what the game was, and Zac executed perfectly.

[@wierdalien1]

​@@andprosser if you watch the original Zac pretends to sit behind his podium, as soon as Brennan puts his arm behind his back it's gret

[@cyanthrope]

brennan is a master of building a house of cards and zac is a master of using one little breath to topple the whole thing, and it's beautiful to watch every time

[@andrewdavis8251]

This is such a good replication of the camerawork in courtroom dramas. Excellent work, Deep Blue

[@DeepBlueInk]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mistertwister2000]

“You really are a master of restraint” Zach’s superpower isn’t just his comedic timing, it’s how he can get so much mileage out of so few words.

[@slosh7072]

"Superman's superpower isn't flight, it's how he can cover so much distance without touching the ground." No offense.

[@CasuallyAsian]

As someone who has only seen the gamechanger short I'm glad to see that Brennan spoke for almost twice as long

[@wierdalien1]

It's a full minute of pure brennanisms and Zac just caps it off

[@eliasmg9144]

It makes it even better

[@Bosstoaster]

I'd like to appreciate the way Brennan steps into the window light and then is cast into shadow, that's a VERY nice touch that looks so nice. The atmosphere of this room for this one bit is top notch

[@DeepBlueInk]

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I'm so proud of this one!

[@sammy135_]

Of course Zach's part in this bit cannot be overstated, but man, Brennan completely understood how to create his dialogue in a way to leave space for Zach. He constantly paused for just a second or two at a time, not enough to ruin his own flow, but just enough to let Zach know he could jump in when he had something good. I could watch these two improv together forever man

[@TheRubySpider]

In the immortal words of Zac Oyama: “Sometimes it’s about doing a lot of stuff, but sometimes, it’s about doing not a lot of stuff.”

[@webbowser8834]

"Please don't slow that down because some of those words were not words" This man is just a goldmine of good wisdoms.

[@U.Inferno]

What makes this scene so good is it goes on for just long enough that it can make you forget it's not a courtroom drama but a comedic bit, before Zac completely derails it.

[@octoberspirit]

That detail was so good!

[@Vagabondobiondo]

Because of this comment, I went back and re-watched - Turns out Brennan's eye starts twitching right as everyone else laughs

[@yuvalne]

This clip is the best demonstration of the genius that is the Zac/Brennan comedic duo. Brennan creates a perfect scene for Zac, giving him multiple comfortable entry points that are still solid enough for himself to continue going on from. Meanwhile Zac holds the tension for just long enough that all that's needed to break it is four words. Chef's kiss. What a masterclass in comedy.

[@Karak971]

My favorite thing about the real clip is how you see the tension continue to build as Brennan keeps improving while everyone gives Zac the side eye of "when's he gonna jump in?"

[@PeregrineFalcon646]

God, this moment is such a treasure. Brennan starts his court room drama level monologue, and keeps setting up moments for Zac to interrupt him. But Zac, being the genius that he is, waits until the perfect moment where everyone is tensed up, waiting to for him to interrupt, to deliver four goddamn perfect words. It’s amazing.

[@NamineXluvzXAxel]

I love seeing Zac Oyama in your style this is so good

[@DeepBlueInk]

[@sk8rtay1]

Adding the single juror that would've caused a mistrial made this a masterpiece. I can't wait to watch your future television show

[@fighthive4808]

I like the idea that the defendant was able to keep it together and not f**k up until the very last day of the trial.

[@Sunari]

I've seen the Y Tshort but the clip in its entirety is so awesome. I love that Sam recognizes just how perfect staying silent until one line made the whole scene

[@benjaminmatheny6683]

Part of how great it is, is the trust. Zack trusts that Brennan will pitch him a perfect spot to say something, so even though the monologue goes on for awhile he doesn't need to interrupt early. He can wait for the perfect moment to come.

[@skel4136]

The fact that Brennan isnt an actual lawyer is astounding. His innate ability to instantly go on a fully thought out, and fully grounded rant on a whim would do so well in the court of law

[@adrienstarfaer]

The perfection in the timing, they say less is more, and sometimes it is, and sometimes more is more, and these times are not mutually exclusive, as illustrated here. Brennan set up the dominoes beautifully, and Zac hit them at just the right angle to knock it all down perfectly. Perfect comedic timing, and an amazing animation to boot

You’re so good at drawing their hair, I know exactly who the characters are just from the thumbnail alone!

[@SolitasRuisu]

I don't think we appreciate enough that "I killed him, yeah" was not just a well timed confession, it wasn't even intended to be a confession at all. The character was actually trying to add to the monologue, the lawyer asked "Is he a perfect man" and as an example of him not being perfect the defendant said "I killed him, yeah". Like, its just an oopsie, everyone does it right? So I killed a guy, nobody's perfect.
