Greatest Transcript Ever Turned Into Greatest Cartoon Ever

Obscenity-laced courtroom transcript given star treatment by Rick and Morty.

"You're going to need to know this when you grow up and become a drifter."

“You’re going to need to know this when you grow up and become a drifter.”

Last month, the world received the treasured gift of Judge Bryant Durham and defendant Denver Allen shouting obscenities at each other for 19 pages of transcript. There were F-bombs, homophobic slurs, and the judge demanding that Allen jack off in the courtroom. Seriously, this was a hell of an event.

This weekend at San Diego Comic Con, the panel for the Adult Swim show Rick and Morty took the transcript to a whole new level, animating it in the style of the show, replacing Judge Durham with Morty and casting Rick (who ended last season in prison himself) as Denver Allen.

The most fun thing to remember about this clip is that Justin Roiland voices both of these characters — so he clearly had a ball ranting to himself. [UPDATE: The video below has been colorized and features some additional material]

Something about a dramatic interpretation by two great character voices brings this whole exchange to life.
