So You Want to Be on a Jury

The Joe McDoakes shorts were all pretty silly and the situations ridiculous. However, in the case it's all this AND makes absolutely no sense at all.

Homer and Joe somehow end up on the jury...though it's very confusing what got them there. Regardless, the defendant ends up being their boss and he threatens the two to shut up and make sure he's found not guilty. Later, the other side threatens to kill them....and then the boss does the same. This happens again and again while the jury is deliberating and seeing the one guy show up on the window sill with a machine gun simply made my head hurt...as did the final altercation when the judge came in and threatened the jury. It really looks like they ran out of ideas here...or that the writer was on drugs.

Other than seeing Arthur Q. Bryant as the judge (since he was known more as the voice of Elmer Fudd in cartoons), I found nothing about this confusing mess of a short to enjoy or recommend. Sorry...I normally DO enjoy these films.
