CUZ THIS IS MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER.
And then I was like... At the mall or whatever and she was like "shouldnt you have some kinda like pants on or something?"
And I was like "yeah whatever!" 😏
I went down to the beach and I saw Kiki, and she was all like awww, and I was like yeah, whatever!
no shoes, no pants, no service.
A travesty.
Actually, I want shoes. No pants, no problem.
There was a group at Burning Man that would shoot a pair of trousers out of their ”pants cannon” at shirt-cocking dudes as they walked past. Sounds like it would have come to blows if you’d been there.
I mean maybe, but honestly I don't think im that good looking.
^this guy jorts
I thought it was gonna be less obvious but nope, lack of pants was put on full display
Gotta keep your phone in landscape mode for the Zoom call!
Upon seeing Jackson’s state of dress, Judge Sean Perkins asked, “You got some pants on, officer?”
Jackson is seen replying, “No, sir,” before changing his camera’s framing so his lower body was no longer visible.
The rest of the hearing went on as planned.
At least he was polite about it
Good lord it was like a crotch shot.
This should grounds for immediate case dismissal
“your honor, my accuser can’t even be bothered to put on pants”
"Why am I not wearing pants? A better question is why are you wearing pants?"
That video was actually worth the watch. I belly laughed at the incredulity of the judge... "You... You got some pants on there Officer??"....
Classic
Yeah, I was expecting some sort of accidental “Oops they saw my basketball shorts when I stood up” type of scenario. Instead, we straight up had Barry Wood greeting us.
Not quite as good as “I’m not a cat” but funny
Lawyers and judges saw a lot of dicks during covid when everyone had to learn how to video chat for court.
Everything from the accused laying in bed, in pajamas, with a bowl of cereal and a blunt, to mirrors betraying whole-moon asses, to a guy being charged with improper storage of a firearm with shotgun leaning against the wall behind him.
That blunt was herbal I tell ya!
I haven't worn pants for interviews in years.
Honestly wearing pants is weird.
Usually it is the defendant trying to get off during court proceedings.
Hey honey, how was your day at work?
Yeah you know.... It was aight.
The court prohibits the wearing of shorts, skorts, sleeveless shirts, hats/caps (excluding ones worn for religious or cultural reasons) and “other clothing not suitable in a Court or any other professional environment.”
Well, he complied with that rule.
Not wearing pants on camera is as old as TV itself. Always enjoyed this episode of Mayne Street highlighting this phenomenon and the problems when anchors no longer got to sit behind a desk. Also, rewatching this and realizing it has a couple people who would go into more noticeable roles on Parks and Recreation.
Of course it's Judge Sean Perkins. This poor bastard cannot catch a break.
Maybe you should put some pants on, if you want to keep fighting crime today
Love that movie.
How is the off camera state of dress relevant? Why are they using cameras to begin with?
Because it was very much on camera. Rtfa
court cases are not phone calls
Everything a cop or judge does should be on camera.
Fair
