Interesting! I knew that almost all episode ideas came to them from stuff they heard on the radio, saw on tv, or had happened to them, but not about this particular one. Best comedy show to this day, because despite being in 2022, they are, to my knowledge, the only ones who do not shy from dark humour, racism and non pc humour, violence and drug and alcohol abuse as means of comedy, which I absolutely love, and applaud them for, despite all the butthurt people being triggered. (of course I mean comedy show with real people, cause Family Guy isn't far off)

I concur in the objection. Furthermore, a specific analysis should be done to determine whether the question is now that of proximate cause or, in fact, an instance where the Defendant takes the Plaintiff as he comes. I would move on summary judgment (or motion in limine) to exclude any and all arguments about assumption of the risk, as assumption requires Plaintiff's speicifc knowledge of the harm that could occur. I think, as a matter of law, you do not assume the risk of a rear-end collision. As opposed to walking over ice and falling (one of the more popular AOR defenses). Similarly, no comparative or contributory negligence is available as Dennis' act in eating the cereal doesnt require any duty and was not the proximate cause of the spill. 2 cents.

Standard boiler plate, y'all.) - Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens (contract validity after ingestion by the other party?

For a bit of context about why Dee wanted there to be precedent. At this point in the show, the gang has destroyed at least 2 of her cars already.

Yeah, her car(s) is always the one being destroyed, of course she wants to set a precedent for the group to pay for damages, but I’m assuming LegalEgal didn’t infer this because he doesn’t commonly watch the show
