@@kendallrivers1119 Modern comedies try to be too real. 99.9% of the comedy lies in their plots and dialogue as opposed to the performance of the actors. This is why you'll never see iconic tv characters like Al Bundy, Steve Urkel or Dan Fielding ever again. Only ones of recent memory that come to mind are Barney Stinson and Sue Heck from How I Met Your Mother and The Middle. It also doesn't help that most modern comedies are developed for the pretentious "intellectual" types who look down on shows that are filmed in front of a live studio audience like Night Court was. John Larroquette's performance was influenced by the audience's reaction to what he was doing like most live performers are.

"I think he'd like to speak." "No! Don't let him talk!" XD LMAO!!!

[@yaboyy07]

This has got to be one of the funniest scenes of all time. Absolutely HILARIOUS!

[@_WillCAD_]

Thirty years later, this is still one of the moments of the show that I remember more than any other. "Tortoise nervosa." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

[@bigwillietheb]

Dan slaps the cards on the table Dan: POINT TO IT! some of the funniest shit I saw my sides hurt from laughing so much

[@myth8551]

Loved this scene as a child and it's still Lol hilarious

[@Jetset906]

The "Marathon" episodes, as I like to call them, where they had to get through a huge number of cases by midnight, where the best episodes!

[@lunsj]

Agreed. The nuns episode is another classic!

[@k1productions87]

I always loved the super-quick case People vs? Wagner Prostitution? Positivity Prosecution Pictures Objection Grounds? Entrapment Ridiculous Reason? Witnesses Overruled Darn Plea? Guilty Motion? Leniency? Granted Fine? Fifty Finished Freebie? Forget it ROFL

[@leechandler374]

Jetset906 there are a lot of classic scenes. Do you remember the one where Joy destroyed the house of cards and she was so self-satisfied?

[@sha11235]

They did this a few times. I guess because they had a whole bunch of funny cases in their heads and wanted to use them.

[@Niece-vz4zg]

I remember one that was even shorter. Not with all the details, but it was like: "Prosecution?" "The usual." "Defense?" "The usual."

[@Deborahtunes]

I own a few seasons of *Night Court* on DVD, but not this one. It had me in tears laughing...😂🤣🤣

[@ryanpittman1366]

I love the way Christine tries to smack Dan to calm him down as he almost is about to strangle the tortoise guy.

[@talkdattrashimmapullyacard4396]

This show was so brilliant & genius with tha comedy 📺

[@cawilliamsify]

I Love this one! "Otherrr pocket"...hahaha Ms.Sullivan: I'd like to call his father as a witness He is also a turtle ...lol Dan: No,no the state drops the charges

[@sha11235]

What's his mother, a rabbit?

[@speedraser2605]

I just have to have the box set. I love every last episode!

[@alextepe4309]

John Larroquette was one of the best parts of the show. His character was supposed to be sleazy, yet he was still very likeable. I’ll bet he never thought that 30 years after the show ended, he would reprise the role of Dan Fielding in a revival of the show with hilarious consequences.

[@user-bu7ig1dr9e]

did you know John got several awards for his performance as Dan Fielding!

[@NICKI814]

"DON'T LET HIM TAAAALLK" ""IT IS HIS RIGHT COUNSELOR"

[@halon7476]

Classic comedy. Miss that show.

[@bryannesom6946]

Love the fact that his clothes are green and he's wearing a TURTLEneck. LOL

[@Euripides_Panz]

Ohhhh... kaaay?

[@rickmoreau3419]

I miss this show so much! It was comedy gold!

[@coloradobrad6779]

3:00 I mean comedy gold. Inherited 😂😂😂😂😂😂40 years later, this is timeless comedy.
