I think the arbitrator was operating under the kind of schoolground justice model that the gang was presenting. They didn't hire an arbitrator to tell them who, legally, owns the ticket; they were hired to tell them who "should" get it. They weren't going to accept a legal justification anyway, only one that they would find compelling enough to go along with it, like the lofty principles of "finder's keepers" and "I did you a solid".

It's obviously ridiculous on its face but in being so ALSO points out the ridiculousness of our legal system. If we had a TRULY FAIR legal system, there would be no need for attorneys. I watched a judge the other day dismiss a case due to a procedural paperwork error -- he stated that he couldn't knowingly find her guilty because, if she had sufficient legal representation, her lawyer would've gotten the case thrown out instantly based on that error. But not all judges would be so kind. He could very well have charged her anyways.

At most hed be repaid the cost of the ticket/other items if he had record of how much money he was giving her. If I gave my employee $20 a day for a $20 pizza, and he bought $15 pizzas and pocketed the $5 each time, I’d be entitled to my extra $5 as it was only granted to cover the full amount of that business expense, which was assumed to be $20. He doesn’t get to add it to his own special surplus fund to buy stuff for himself ie NOT items required or requisitioned for business purposes, which is hard to imagine a scratcher fitting the criteria as a work expense. Just as if a boss sent you on a $2200 trip and sent you with the $2200 to cover the trip, you don’t just get to keep the remainder if they surprise you with $500 off upon arrival. Receipts will be needed for tax purposes and said business’s own record keeping, and it will be viewed as a big fat -$500.00 in red as your outgoing balance didn’t match your record of the trip.

While they may all be legally on the hook for the bill, I think you’re underestimating how psychologically dependent Mac is on the rest of the gang. At one point Dennis literally lures him into a cult and acts as his cult leader in order to keep him from eating his Thin Mints, he is definitely capable of psychologically manipulating him into paying the bill, whether he was supposed to or not. And having the rest of the gang behind him only makes it easier, as they define almost all of Mac’s sense of self worth. He doesn’t have any other friends, and his parents are shown to be extremely distant and unsupportive, while Mac himself is shown to be deeply insecure, which makes him a prime target to be taken advantage of by his friend. And the gangs entire dynamic has always been incredibly abusive like that. We see them do basically the same thing to Dee in the cereal defense where they basically just gaslight her into paying for the damages.

That face after the fast forward: priceless. Objection! According to the case of Finders Keepers versus Losers Weepers a legal precedent was set that upon seeing and picking up the ticket, and I'm quoting legal documents here, "too bad, so sad." So, in my lack of expertise, the arbitrator reached a mostly correct decision. Frank deserved nothing though. He should have said nothing and then taken the ticket out of his dead hands utilizing that previous case to his advantage.

From this perspective, it becomes clear what the writers were trying to do throughout the show. Very cool. New to the channel, but very helpful. Very much appreciated. Sincerely, Chicago, IL

Objection! They fired every arbitrator that actually did their job - They probably ended up with an arbitrator that cared more about getting paid than actually doing their job correctly.

"Who hoist piano like an old cartoon?" A lot of old New York was designed by Dutch people, and one trip through Amsterdam will show you furniture still being hoisted in like this piano. Those tall, skinny buildings have stairs that do not allow large things to pass through them. So, the buildings were designed with a little weight supporting notch on the top center from which to mount a pulley.
You know its a good episode when even legal eagle says "That argument might actually work"

@@mrfunnyperson100 “Res ipsa loquitur” is a legal doctrine meaning “the thing speaks for itself.” Simply put, the incident could not have occurred without the negligence of another party. A piano falling out of a window is just a common example of something having occurred as a result of negligence. A real life case you could look into though is Byrne v Boadle, where a barrel of flour fell out of a window and hit the plaintiff (Byrne) on the head.

My stepdad is a circuit court judge who’s retiring later this year. After hearing those arbitrator numbers, I’ve suggested that in case he gets bored in retirement and/or my parents’ very bad dog eats another couch or breaks another toilet (yes, the dog broke the toilet, he’s that much of an agent of chaos).

To be fair, they seem to have fired every arbitrator that would give the correct legal response until they got a decision based on equally ridiculous premises. And they def just wanted to work toward getting Mac to finally come out in the show.
I really hope they get this guy to be their next lawyer in an episode Lol 😂 That would be fantastic

Honestly, the "no" on hearing the arbitrator come to catastrophically wrong conclusions really made this for me. Also, I'd love to see more Harvey Birdman episodes.
A very interesting show to do a Lawyer Reacts to would be The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy episode “Keeper of the Reaper”. The episode follows a custody battle between Billy and Mandy over who gets to keep Grim. It’s rather neat and I would definitely recommend it.
Screaming F@& isn't a hate crime. But screaming it while beating someone up likely is. Good point. Usage of that language changes the nature of a crime rather than being a crime in and of itself.
When even the 4th party outside the conversation thinks a statement from Dee is sad, it's genuinely SAD!
This episode was a classic in a sitcom that’s easily one of the most consistently great shows ever produced. I’d argue IASIP is in the same league as The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Parks & Rec, The Office, and NewsRadio. In terms of consistency of its quality across seasons, it’s gotta be in the top 3. EDIT: +Arrested Development (I can’t believe I forgot to include it in the pantheon of sitcom excellence).

@@SUFHolbek according to federal law if waitstaff earn below minimum wage and don't make minimum wage in tips then they must be reimbursed such that their total gross pay equaled minimum wage. I worked at a restaurant and not reimbursing waitstaff oftentimes shuts them down. In addition the law is addended so even in the case of replacing pay with merchandise you still have to give them gross income of minimum wage and any contract that doesn't isn't legally binding.
I love going back and re-watching the sunny reacts, have you tried to get on their podcast? that would be hilarious to see their thinking with all the law references!
I'd love to see you react to the Kurosawa film Scandal, wherein a lawyer wins the case for the plaintiffs by incriminating himself with the bribe he took from the defense.
the gang also get into run ins with the law in the following: "The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell" (this one is loosely related but there are some cool insights form a lawyer) and "The World Series Defense"
Everything about this analysis was amazing. but I have to admit I especially love the fast forwarding edit at 15:48 due to (lack of) relevance and Devin's reaction at 15:55.
"...as long as I used the slur everyone knew to look at Mac!" This show is hilarious.
