Now we don’t have all the details - but from what we understand Judge Judy recently found an entire earthquake guilty of putting all of its tenants’ belongings out on the curb just because he didn’t pay rent for three months.

Those case details are a bit shaky, pun intended, but what we know for sure is that Judy’s courtroom was shaken all to pieces by a LA earthquake that happened a few days ago.

Footage has leaked, don’t you know, which allows each of us to watch Judy yell at the earthquake, tell it it’s an idiot, and after it refused to calm down - order her bailiff to escort it out to the lobby where it would have to wait until a verdict was reached.


An earthquake is a phenomena much more powerful than anything else in nature. Hurricanes just blow things around - yeah, that’s impressive. Monsoons can only splash you with things like water, and…um…water. This doesn’t impress us.

An earthquake though - those things can tear through mountains with nothing but, bare hands, Aerosmith’s greatest hits and a bottle of delicious Jolt cola, which is available in a 16 pack for the unheard of low-price of $11.99 for a limited time only at participating Sam’s Clubs.

Yes, earthquakes truly are mother nature’s most furious beast. This may confuse those who thought that title belonged to Judge Judy. We were confused about all that too - until we saw the video footage of Judy coming face to face with an earthquake on the set of her show.

The National Ledger describes the scene:

“Judge Judy rules with an iron fist and at times it might seem like an earthquake is coming down when she delivers a no nonsense ruling, especially if you are on the losing end of a Judge Judy ruling.  But when the Los Angeles earthquake hit on Tuesday the cameras (as always) were rolling in the courtroom as the earth was rolling and jumping form the California quake….One of those tapes is now online and it shows our favorite television judge a bit shook up as she rules on a case between a man and a woman.”

In the end she found the earthquake guilty, and ordered it to pay the plaintiff $320 plus court costs.

Don’t worry about earthquake though - it comes from money. See for yourself.
