Many "mockumentaries" get lost in the quick editing and awkward reaction shots which give more of a "The Office" or "Arrested Development" vibe.

[@immario11]

This had me cracking up the entire time. The subtle humor throughout is so well done.

[@OkieAllDay]

Tim objects for the stupidest reasons and then says nothing when damning evidence is offered up against him 😆

[@misturfixit45]

2:17:15 "Your daughter was 17 when she left you. If there was anything you could say to her, what would that be?" .......................................... "objection: speculative" jesus christ, that joke was like 2 hours in the making and the timing was *chef's kiss* lol. You couldn't teach that kind of comedy if you tried.

[@niallshannon2100]

Tim was right to object, but he should have said relevance/more prejudicial than probative instead of speculation

[@FunyunsAreGreat]

This is one of the best things ive ever seen

[@LemonTree9280]

The Ayaka stuff is actually touching and I feel for Tim. Her being their set designer and doing such an amazing job is heartwarming

[@djengle91]

She's always been surprisingly good at her role despite not being an actor and the role itself being kind of a weird one. Like, she's very believable in that part.

[@RoseanneSeason7]

​@@djengle91as she's about to leave the stand and she asks the judge if tims still outside the courtroom after he stormed out I laughed so hard

[@kyrridas1573]

this is my third time watching this entire thing through. i dont know why i love it so much. its just...absurd. but so close to reality that its compelling.

[@nowhere_dan]

ultra realism

[@DankMangus]

Mark explaining how Tim would "Bop" him is hilarious.

[@fhurley8447]

Tim miming Empty Bottle whilst the witness describes people dying is priceless

[@katebradley9248]

Tim eating corn tortilla chips for breakfast is such a detail

[@whatWhoNow]

3:39:36 Gregg saying "no, no" literally telling the director of Star Trek IV that he is wrong is so great. Then later when he's technically correct about II but still has the movies mixed up says "he directed it" lol

This is now my sleep ambience. "I'll FUCK you up Mark" 2:33:34

Shoutout to the woman in the audience and her constant look of disdain, shock, and disgust towards Tim.

[@Nayte08]

Guys…I feel extremely stupid I spent over 2 hours thinking this was real. Unfortunately I was listening to it and couldn’t watch most parts but still, thought I’d be able to figure it out a little quicker. This is one of the best comedy performances I’ve ever seen. I ate the onion and it tastes great

[@L11ghtman]

Check out On Cinema and the rest of Tim’s work. So much content. And of course Tim and Eric

[@bobchipman4473]

To be fair to you, after Darrel Brook's trial, Tim's trial is almost tame. If I didn't know ahead of time, I could have believed it.

[@Dial8Transmition]

When Gregg said "Hey Guys", I got goosebumps

[@SubzeroCage]

"And let's just acknowledge and thank judge Szymcvzyk, I was making a joke with my brothers over here that I feel like i'm on wheel of fortune and I uh we should say can I buy a vowel...cause of the last name."

[@robertbloom4424]

This is the most realistic acting I have ever seen. Unbelievably well done.

[@Sharpest_]

Day 2 his suit is the same exact colors as the courtroom itself. It's the subtle stuff that makes this incredible.

[@squidincsquid]

The best part about uploading this is everyone's astute observations.

[@michaelfosco2531]

Tim’s humor is very nuanced. In Tim and Gellman have lunch he makes fun of comedians that’s humor relies on facial expressions. But it’s actually true for Tim. He’s got such a funny face with his facial expressions. I can’t really explain

[@Chako-Tweaks]

😂😂😂🤣🤣😂

and remember later he tries to save Tom Cruise with vape smoke which he did to the kids too lol

[@manchesterisblue1023]

this is the most brilliant piece of comedy on youtube

[@LeonSheeter]

Yes, I think it’s funny as fuckk whenever slower, lesser sense of humor folks will try n claim that Tim n eric isn’t funny at all because they simply can’t grasp the concept of their style and that they, alot of the time, are actually making fun of comedy it’s SELF.. 😋 They somehow find ways to make fun of the overall comical process of making fun of whatever it is that gets made fun of now days or any comedy of the past. 🤣 & these dry humor types who only know how to laugh at direct, specified and obvious forms of jokes that are always served with a little ‘punchline’ at the end of it. The type of jokes that to us much more advanced Tim & Eric fans, can’t even stand & don’t even find to be slightly funny whatsoever. Are able to eventually laugh twice as hard at, thanks to folks like Tim Heidecker who you just need to be present with during those jokes being delivered the way they do, resulting in their little 2 dollar golf clap - laughs, that you can’t even figure out how those people just honestly laughed at that, to turn around and make eye contact with someone like tim who’s sitting there totally 2 steps ahead of you, ready to LAUGH his ass off with you at the fact that THEY ALL laughed at the standard issue joke that tried to have its reasons of being funny, which just about every time makes it exclusively NOT FUNNY. Us people who are advanced in comedy aren’t looking for anything to ever have clear indicator’s for being funny or that come equipped with a little “punch line” with it. Were ready to laugh at the unspoken, un clarified, indirect, under the table, material that you know is funny simply due to it being either just professionally STUPID/ pointless as fuckk, or SO ignorantly dumb that it required top notch skill and a high IQ and days of research & calculations in order to squeeze out and extract any last trace of intelligence that may be sitting around in it & getting it ALL outta there so your left with someone like “Richard Dunn” who knows not how to even fucking talk correctly and reads off the words on the screen improperly and pluralizes words that are clearly singular form like : The Dungeon with him going “Welcome back to … Dunn -Jinz … I’m your host Richerd .. Dunns …? I think … wait … how’s my own name pronounced again? .. huh?? Oh .. ok … so … uh … we’ll be right back after this commercials …” 😂😂 n THAT to us is genius & gangster comedy at it’s finest cuz we know we’re laughing AT someone who’s mentally challenged & we don’t give half of one whole entire metric FUCK that we are 😂

[@HunterTN]

I spent two weeks on a jury in a civil trial, the goofiness you see here is very close to reality. Two of the jurors spent their days doing crosswords or doodling. The defendant tried to get one juror thrown out because he thought she'd been rude to him at church one time (she didn't go to his church). One juror almost got tossed for vaping in the courthouse. The plaintiffs attorney would have these massive coughing fits near the jury box and was eventually out for two days making the case go longer. The defendants attorney was always trying to throw some goofy jab in that never landed. In the end we deliberated for less than 45 minutes and awarded the plaintiff a very small amount. They should have settled the matter outside of court years ago like adults. I was always interested in being on a jury, that experience cured me for life.

[@davidlloyd4776]

4 hours…4 hours long…and that’s not including all the rehearsal and reshoots, to produce an authentic, dry, court room proceeding, all as a gag. This is why Tim and his crew are genuiuses

[@booon-booon]

love that we had to hear empty bottle again in this, not only once but twice

[@Krayne95]

Lmao, Tim thanking him for saying "That's a lot of money" about life insurance settlements.

[@karenschultz2896]

I'm about to watch all 4+ hours of this and I'm so in.

[@PotentialEnder]

Did I just watch 5 hours of a fake court room proceeding? Yes, yes I did.

[@squidincsquid]

I'm watching it again now!

[@karenyoung4169]

It was real.. but the judge kept threatening Tim if he continued his immature behavior. 2 contempts, that’s all. He failed to follow thru with 99% of his warnings, so Tim knew he could continue with his outbursts and nothing would be done. I’ve seen cases like this before where same thing happened over and over. Judge allows it to go on because if he removes him from the courtroom there is a chance this could cause a mistrial even if Tim was taken into next room and attended via Zoom. This happened all throughout the Darrell Brooks trial until the judge just couldn’t take any more of his behavior. He was worse than Tim. So fun to watch!!

This was truly the perfect verdict. Tim I believe acted as a perfect lawyer. Dwyer was an awful lawyer who took Tim’s case and basically ruined day 1 for him. It’s awesome to see such justice for an innocent man. Rest easy in the vape clouds Chris Delgado.

[@WerewolfKweef]

Correction, this verdict was amazing

[@craigslist6988]

the audio work in this is absolutely amazing and no one has said it.. must have been a lot of work

[@mattkline3431]

4:14:00 LMFAO the impassioned way he asks if the literal dead victims should be on trial for their own deaths. Slapping the board. This is Tim's Magnum Opus.

[@4llemand]

I fucking lost it at the slapping.

[@mattzed11]

“Tellin’ her sob story” never fails to at least make me chuckle. Tim is utterly inept in all the funniest ways.

[@Novastar6]

"Is he still in there?" Looking into the very trash can he threw one of the dead victims pictures LOL

It kills me that one of the only breaks in this entire thing is Gregg of all people at 1:57:12 when she calls him a movie buff lmfao

My favorite adult swim segment of all time, I love how dedicated they were to making this seem somewhat real

[@JonathanNYCity]

Somewhat real!? It seemed so real to me that I was going online and looking up the music festival to get news cliops about it!!! Then I found out - it wasn't real! The only thing that made me wonder was the multiple cameras in the courtroom and the perfect editing to show shots of various people at just the right time. That never happens with real court video.
