- A lawyer appearing before a judge at a virtual court case via Zoom appeared on screen as a cat - after not realising a filter was switched on.
Rod Ponton was 'feline' fine as he entered the zoom call held in Texas, but should've 'paws-ed' before switching his camera on.
Rod's child had used the computer before him and left a cat filter on. Fur-real!
Trying to avoid a 'cat-astrophe', Judge Roy Ferguson quickly gave Mr Ponton a heads-up that he had appeared on the chat as a white fluffy kitten.

Something about the terror in his voice, mixed with the sad look of the cat is just GOLD!
Terror will come when u talking to a judge
ikr
hahhahahhahahahha
*"Recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited"*
Welp-
æ
Yeah, I saw that too
The judge probably released it, lol
They released it because of the funny circumstances
They had to release it because they couldn't charge everyone. It was going to be all over the internet so they had no choice.
"I'm not a cat" said the cat, losing all credibility before the judge.
The person that’s above me says that he not care
I think if you have to say it, it's already too late.

Yup
something about the cute kitty filter mixed with his Texas accent and his frantic voice + eyes makes this so damn funny
Couldn't agree more
@The Weeknd rlly good
The nervous Uuuuuuuggggh was the start but the looking down to the right really got me when the whites of the eyes showed. Everything hit just right, waiting for more memes to come out of this fiasco.
& the EYES! looking down and away all worried.
Is that what it is?? I felt like I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did, but it was inexplicably hilarious.
The combination of the sad cat frantically looking around, and the panic barely contained in the lawyer's voice is what made this such gold

He was prepared to present his case looking like a cat. True dedication.
At least as a cat he would have 9 attempts in winning the case.

He's a kitten
The cat filter has so much emotion, and looks like it's being held hostage while making one final plea to be rescued.😄
If he was facing a judge that entirely lacks any sort of humor, the cat’s expression would be very well warranted.
This gave me the BEST belly laugh! I cried & laughed so hard that I don't remember EVER hearing myself shriek like that. I was absolutely breathless. Oh, it felt great!! This could have easily happened to me or anyone. Priceless! Laughter truly is the best medicine. This was just wonderful. Thank you so much and God bless.

I haven't laughed so much in ages. The way the kitten looks so depressed and the way the judge is taking it so seriously, and when he says "I am not a cat". So very funny, have a million upvotes Mr Ponton.

@@AJJ7610 I'm the same! Was crying with laughter yesterday and the same today. It seems to get funnier with each time you watch it. Priceless!
The judge didnt look too serious. You could see him smiling from the inside. He just tried to maintain his professionalism. You can see the judges comments at the end of the video.
I came home from work yesterday and watched it, I swear I couldn’t stop laughing so the point I got teary eyed
I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. The other lawyer's face when he says "I'm not a cat" is priceless. I feel bad for him, but we all needed a laugh so badly during lockdown, this is really a wonderfully positive thing.
He then pushed his case files off the desk just to watch them fall.

Hey, still goin ey?
The cat in the filter can mimic expressions and emotions of the person behind the filter, or so I am told by I friend who understands these features better than I do.
Lmbo. He looked panicked 😂😂
Bless this guy for being such a good sport. His voice is what makes it viral. “I’m not a cat” in that charming accent is priceless. 😂
Yeh there’s something very disarming about the way he said that, as if he’d actually been turned into a cat and was desperately trying to hold on to his professional dignity and respect.
"I'm not a cat"
Sounds suspiciously like what a cat in disguise would say!
Can't can't speak stupid !!
😂😂 And now he's got his human filter working again!
The cat was sad because the human filter didn't turn on.
Fluffles? How did you survive the ambush?
Only one way to find out. Break out the laser pointer.
The judge talks to him like he’s 4. “I THINK ITS A FILTER” “I CAN SEE THAT”
Lol
Lol
Love the colleague who put on glasses to get a better look!
The quote is wrong
It's the south. Some places are behind wheb it comes to technologies. The judge is younger than these lawyers from what I've seen. He's trying his best not to offend these oldies.
"I'm not a cat" is exactly something a cat lawyer would say.

He sounds nearly crying while the cat looks nearly crying. The voice matches the image perfectly.

Rod Ponton has comic timing that most professional comedians would kill for.
"So you hired a professional lawyer for our case?"

I'm pretty sure he was the defense lawyer for Henry Lee Lucas, the serial killer. He helped him clear his name in multiple cases where he was wrongfully accused. Watch the last episode of The Confession Killer, on Netflix. Blew my mind when I realised this is the same guy!

A website said that it was a 2009 filter for an external camera...
But...does this mean I can use it via Snap Cam??
It's now revealed that it's a 10 years old Dell webcam filter...

Excellent. Now I know how to make myself a cat for every call from now on.
@@bebegreen3436 It was funny and some comments should be 'filtered' out :-)
They could turn this into a TV show. Have the real lawyer do the voice for that same cat. And he can do a judge Judy type of show. Where normal people appear before the cat to have their legal disputes adjudicated. Call it Cat court

Man, I really needed this laugh today. This is one of the all-time funniest things I've ever seen on the internet. The lawyer has a great attitude about the whole thing, which makes it even better.

The judge deserves an Oscar for not laughing and keeping his calm...
So true! I could not have pulled it off. I would’ve giggled uncontrollably. He did get quiet for a second. He must’ve been doing everything he could to suppress the laugh.
