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. PS- glad you circled back at the end and cleaned up that (if it was an arb) party's make their rules in arb, so objectionable evidence in normal proceedings could be entirely permissible!

Let's make a list of all the sunny episodes with law clips. - Dennis Gets Divorced (arbitration over properties and the first we see of Uncle Jack's obsession with hand size) - The Gang Takes Advantage of the Mortgage Crisis (beginning of bird law ppl!! Standard boiler plate, y'all.) - Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens (contract validity after ingestion by the other party? This contract had ink that had been dry for many forknights, mind you. Also, alternative forms of payment for legal services!!) - The World Series Defense (might be a shorter one, but there's always little clips you can add on for a misc episode! Like the end of The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Addition, and Dennis and Dee's Mom is Dead) ... I can't think of anymore rn, but please add on if you can!! Mr. LegalEagle please do more episodes from my favorite show! ty

[@funwiththoughts]

20:05 Objection: while the arbitration doesn't set a precedent for state or federal law, the main characters can still agree to treat it as a precedent for disputes within their group, which I think is what Dee wanted.

[@NNiffy]

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

[@broskiemandudebrov]

This channel is a great example of something I had no idea I wanted. I've always been interested in law, but not really enough to go to school for it. I feel like this is a great way for me to passively learn while also getting a good laugh. Doing episodes on It's Always Sunny was a great call. The show has a huge audience and people like me found the channel because of the subject matter of the episode. Your editing is great as well. Huge props to this channel. I will be subscribing!

[@irrelevantFJS]

Although Fuhrman denied ever having racist tendencies or using the n-word, a taped interview he had chosen to do 10 years earlier revealed otherwise. In the recording, he was quoted as saying to incarcerated Black people: "You do what you're told, understand, n-word?"
