The Verdict Is In — “Jury Duty” Is The Best Comedy Show In Years, And These 29 Hilarious Moments Are The Proof

? Warning: Jury Duty spoilers ahead! ?

If you haven’t seen Jury Duty yet, here’s a quick rundown of the premise: a group of actors portraying jurors evaluate a made-up trial while being captured by cameras…

Amazon StudiosRonald was told before filming that he was taking part in a project documenting what jury duty entails. Although he’s unknowingly engaging in planned comical scenarios, Ronald is not the butt of jokes; instead, the actors he’s with are the source of laughs.

The show is hands down one of the funniest releases in years. James Marsden plays a fictionalized, hilarious version of himself, and other actors like Mekki Leeper and Edy Modica are also amazing in the series. Another enjoyable element is how Ronald proves himself to be a likable contributor as he remains kind, even-keeled, and supportive toward his fellow jurors, no matter how crazy things get.

Amazon Studios

Here are 29 laugh-out-loud moments that sum up why Jury Duty needs to be on your must-watch list.

1. When Ronald and James first met, and they discussed James’ films.

2. When this woman was brutally honest about how she felt regarding jury duty.

5. When Jeannie (Edy Modica) explained her crush on Noah (Mekki Leeper).

6. When James and Lonnie (Ishmel Sahid) were almost off the hook before being named alternate jurors.

Amazon Studios

As alternates, both Lonnie and James had to be present throughout the trial.

7. When James arranged for the paparazzi to come to court in hopes of getting off jury duty.

Amazon Studios

Not only did this idea not work, but it resulted in the jury being sequestered for the remainder of the trial.

8. When James was waiting for a call regarding a role in a “movie,” Lone Pine, so handing over his cell phone was not an ideal part of sequestration.

9. When Vanessa (Cassandra Blair) wasn’t here for James’ act.

Amazon Studios

10. When defense attorney Shaun Sanders (Evan Williams) referenced a figure that was just slightly off.

Amazon Studios

Shaun was representing Trevor Morris (Ben Seaward). Trevor was being sued by Jacquiline aka “Jacqui” Hilgrove (Whitney Rice), his former employer and the owner of the fashion brand Cinnamon & Sparrow. Jacqui claimed that Trevor was liable for a past workplace accident, which the jury had to deliberate on.

11. When Shaun’s animated presentation was not helping Trevor’s case.

Amazon Studios

12. When food was a focus for the jury.

Amazon Studios

13. When Todd (David Brown) tested out several unique inventions, including chair pants, aka chants.

Amazon Studios

14. When Jeannie heard that Noah’s girlfriend, Heidi, was on vacation without him, and she questioned Heidi’s honesty.

Amazon Studios

The jurors then found out through social media that Cody was, in fact, a man. Noah and Heidi ended up splitting up after Noah was mistakenly served alcohol during a night out and drunkenly confronted Heidi over the phone.

15. When Lonnie got moved up from alternate juror to juror, and he really got into the case.

Amazon Studios

16. When the case just wasn’t captivating enough to keep Barbara (Susan Berger) awake (and she denied falling asleep).

Amazon Studios

17. When Genevieve Telford-Warren (Lisa Gilroy), an acquaintance of Jacqui’s, offered some insight in court.

Amazon Studios

As a result of Trevor’s mishap at the Cinnamon & Sparrow factory, a large order of T-shirts being made for a popular social media influencer was botched. 

Here, Genevieve revisited a series of negative tweets directed at Cinnamon & Sparrow, which the influencer posted in response to the blunder.

18. When Barbara had a sweet craving.

Amazon Studios

19. When James immersed himself in the Lone Pine character of Caleb, an “everyman.”

Amazon Studios

This moment took place when the jurors were on a field trip to inspect the Cinnamon & Sparrow factory.

20. When Ronald beat James at arm wrestling.

Amazon Studios

21. When Ken (Ron Song) spoke his mind.

Amazon Studios

22. When Trevor decided to represent himself, and he was doing the most.

Amazon Studios

23. When James didn’t get the part of Caleb, and he wasn’t pleased to hear who was offered it instead.

Amazon Studios

24. When James had an outburst at a birthday party, thinking it was a show of sympathy for him.

Amazon Studios

James believed this party had been organized to cheer him up since he wasn’t chosen for the role in Lone Pine. (The event was actually being held as a birthday celebration for Ross.) After making this assumption, James angrily ruined the cake that was on display at the gathering. He later returned, apologized, and brought a new cake with him.

25. When Jeannie gave her take on the closing arguments.

Amazon Studios

26. When Inez (Maria Russell) broke down the complexity of Jacqui.

Amazon Studios

27. When Noah and Jeannie started dating, and the relationship influenced Noah’s outlook.

Amazon Studios

28. When Inez emphasized the importance of courtroom fashion.

Amazon Studios

29. When, at the close of the show, Ronald came to the realization that he could still be summoned for jury duty at any time.

Amazon Studios

Following a deliberation period, the jury unanimously voted that Trevor was not liable. Ronald was then told the three-week-long shoot had been fake all along. He was also awarded $100,000 for his participation in Jury Duty

IMHO, Ronald should officially be exempt from serving jury duty for life.

I rest my case! Now, go ahead and watch Jury Duty on Amazon Freevee. (Or rewatch it if you’ve already seen it, because it really is that good!)
