Take a moment, and think back to your childhood. How many birthday parties can you actually remember? None, one, maybe two? Ron McGee and Jeffrey Wayne Hunter are trying to change that. You can, too, as a children's entertainer.
Making a party pretty hard to forget is easy for McGee, aka Python Ron. It isn't everyday that kids get to see the 18-foot Reticulated Python, Monitor lizards or anacondas he unveils during his shows.
For Hunter, aka Freddy the Freeloader of Bluefeather Entertainment, memories come in his transformation from an ex-Marine to a clown who gives an hour-long comedic performance that only on the rarest occasion doesn't get the kids (and usually the adults, too) up out of their seats, cheering and clapping.
The demand for children's entertainers is clearly there. McGee, aka Python Ron, says that business is so strong that he doesn't have to advertise anymore. "It's all word of mouth," he says.
At one point, demand for Hunter and his performance was so high that he had 40 people on his staff and they covered a wide swatch of territory that included Reno, San Francisco, Bakersfield, Sacramento and everywhere in between. They would arrive at the parties in an old Honda Civic wagon covered in polka dots.
Today, Hunter is a one-man show, but that's out of choice, he says. Still, if someone is looking for a 40-hour-a-week job, then they have come to the wrong place, he adds. Friday nights and weekends are busy, and so are the summers, but many entertainers supplement their incomes with part-time work in other fields or similar ones. Hunter used to own a music store in Modesto. Today, he moonlights as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
McGee couldn't get enough of kids; he used to work in daycare. Today, his Python Ron business is so brisk that he does it full time. In addition to appearing at private birthday parties, McGee also visits museums, schools, and brings his slithery friends to company picnics. "My shows are educational," he says. "I show what these animals are really like, not what we have been told that they do."
McGee and Hunter agree that you need to be someone who really likes kids to do this work. "A lot of the kids are afraid at first," Hunter says. "I kneel down so that I'm at their level."
"You have to be a kid at heart. You can't talk over their heads," McGee says. "Kids are not stupid. They can pick up on someone who is just there to make a buck."
Neither McGee nor Hunter received formal training in their chosen fields. Instead, their businesses grew out of hobbies into regular work. "I've taken something I really like and turned it into a business," McGee says.
Both Hunter and McGee recommend starting out small. Everyone has friends with kids who need to be entertained. That's how Hunter got his start. He was in the Marine Corps, stationed at Pearl Harbor. He signed up to become a lifeguard but instead found himself babysitting the officers' kids and doing crafts and games with them. "The Major's wife said to me, 'Why don't you do our kid's birthday party?'" So, he did, and business took off from there. "I started liking it," he says. "There's nothing better than competing against myself. My favorite part is the end of the show when I know that I nailed it."
The pay scale for children's entertainers varies greatly. Much of it depends on the venue - whether it's a small birthday party or a large corporation putting on a big event.
In the past, Hunter has hired apprentices and paid them anywhere from $15 a show to $60, depending on their level of interest and participation. On average, the pay is $20 to $25 per show for an apprentice. For anyone considering becoming a clown, Hunter is always on the lookout for eager apprentices. McGee (www.pythonron.com) is not hiring at this time.

Brian O'Driscoll punched vs Bayonne
This is the punch that nearly dashed Ireland's hopes of inspirational leader Brian O'Driscoll taking them to the World Cup.
A cheap shot from Kiwi lock Mikaera Tewhata, in a World Cup warmup match against the French side Bayonne, caused a fractured sinus and lacerations to O'Driscoll's face.
BOD will be out for 4 weeks, missing the first group game of the World Cup. The injury is not as bad as initially feared though, with O'Driscoll not requiring surgery.
The game was not televised, but as with all Brian O'Driscoll controversial incidents, amateur footage appears miraculously, and this time from the Bayonne video analyst of all people.
A little birdy tells me that the word on the street is that the French side were eye gouging in the mauls and when BOD ran in to help it's because the Irish hooker was getting a working over, before eventually dropping to the floor.
The culprit of the suckerpunch has been banned for two matches, and since apologised for his actions, saying it's not in his nature and would like to apologise to O'Driscoll face to face.
The final score in this ill tempered match was 42-6 to Ireland, with 5 yellow cards being issued.
Ireland are wearing blue as it's not an official test.

To date, Remimazolam has been studied in more than 1,000 patients undergoing conscious sedation or general anesthesia.
Further details of trials with Remimazolam can be found on the websites operated by the National Institutes of Health at www.clinicaltrials.gov and other platforms such as the EU Clinical Trials Register at https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu or the Japanese clinical trials information site at www.clinicaltrials.jp.
Dose finding followed a rational development plan as all mammalian species use tissue esterases to metabolize remimazolam. Thus animal data could be predictive for human dosage. It is known that the tissue esterase system is highly conserved amongst all mammalian species including the human race. Thus remimazolam was a suitable candidate for a translational approach that had the potential to predict the doses that lead to sedation and loss of consciousness.
A total of two Phase I, two Phase II trials and one Phase III trial have been completed in procedural sedation. The first in-human trial explored a broad range of doses from no effect to loss of consciousness (not wanted for procedural sedation but indicative for induction of general anesthesia). Based on this trial, the next set of trials covered a colonoscopy study in healthy volunteers and a Phase IIa study in upper GI endoscopy. These studies confirmed the need for an approximately 50 % dose reduction in combination with opioids (colonoscopy) and were the basis for the Phase IIb study in colonoscopy patients. In this study, a fixed dose regime consisting of starting dose and top-ups was tested with the lowest of the starting doses being selected for use in the ongoing Phase III studies.
In April 2016, patient recruitment in the first study of PAION's pivotal U.S. Phase III program in patients undergoing procedural sedation was completed, and in June 2016, PAION announced that the study's primary efficacy endpoint had been met.
The Phase III trial enrolled 461 patients at 13 U.S. sites and was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remimazolam compared to placebo (with midazolam rescue) in patients undergoing proceduralist-administered sedation for colonoscopy.
The primary outcome measure was a composite endpoint defined as: no need for rescue medication, completion of the procedure and no more than 5 top-up doses within any 15-minute window. The primary endpoint was reached in 91.3% of the patients in the remimazolam arm and 1.7% in the placebo (including midazolam rescue) arm.
Further data on the clinical results of remimazolam's U.S. Phase III colonoscopy trial were presented at the 2016 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting in Las Vegas on 18 October 2016 (after the period covered).
Important secondary endpoints in the remimazolam arm showed a median time from start of medication to start of procedure of 4.0 minutes (placebo 19.5 minutes) and a mean time from end of procedure to return to full alertness of 7.2 minutes (placebo 21.3 minutes). Additionally, time to "back to normal" as reported by patients on remimazolam was 331 minutes (placebo 572 minutes). There were no treatment-emergent serious adverse events in the trial. Hypotension was 44.3% with remimazolam and 47.5% with placebo and accounted for most of the adverse events in all study arms. Hypoxia occurred in 1.0% of patients given remimazolam, 3.4% in the placebo arm. On the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test administered five minutes after reaching the fully alert status, the total raw score, delayed recall, memory retention, and recognition discrimination scores were all better with remimazolam compared to placebo. Patient satisfaction was similar in all arms of the study.
In addition to the detailed analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III trial (comparison to placebo), Prof. Rex also presented data for the open label midazolam arm. These results will not be part of the label claims. They will however serve as valuable data to plan future studies and perform pharmacoeconomic modelling. Midazolam patients showed a median time from start of medication to start of procedure of 19.0 minutes and a mean time from end of procedure to return to full alertness of 15.7 minutes. Midazolam patients took 553 minutes to be back to normal. Hypotension was 67.3% with midazolam and hypoxia occurred in 1.0% of patients given midazolam.
In addition to the above study, the U.S. Phase III program includes a second confirmatory, prospective, double-blind placebo-controlled, randomized, multi-center open label vs. midazolam trial in 420 patients undergoing bronchoscopies. Patient recruitment was initially moderate. However, continuous measures to accelerate patient recruitment, such as improvements in the feasibility of the study protocol, opening additional study centers and intensified support of existing study centers have increased the recruitment rate and PAION therefore confirms the previously communicated timeline for completion of patient recruitment in the second quarter of 2017. Over half of the 420 patients have already been recruited to the study.
A smaller safety trial in high-risk patients (double blind vs. placebo and open label vs. midazolam) undergoing colonoscopies for which patient recruitment is expected to be completed in 2016, and four Phase I trials to further support remimazolam's safety profile complement the U.S. development program.
In the U.S., PAION is allocating significant resources to achieve the planned completion of the Phase III program, especially on patient enrollment in the Phase III bronchoscopy study. The timing to submit for U.S. market approval following successful completion of the clinical development program is subject to ongoing discussions with Cosmo, who is responsible for all approval activities in the U.S.
A total of three Phase I (Japan), two Phase II (Japan and EU) and two Phase III (Japan) trials in general anesthesia have been completed. Specific attention was paid to hemodynamic stability in the clinical program as preclinical data suggested that remimazolam may lead to a hemodynamic stability, which addresses a current need in general anesthesia.
The Japanese program started with a comparative Phase I study building on PAION's first human trial and showed an identical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile. The next step was a continuous infusion Phase I study to define induction and maintenance doses for anesthesia. The doses for induction and maintenance identified as safe and effective in the Phase II study subsequently conducted were then used in the Japanese Phase III studies, which confirmed remimazolam's efficacy and safety as a general anaesthetic and its favorable hemodynamic profile compared to propofol. Based upon the successful completion of Phase III in Japan, a pre-NDA meeting (NDA = New Drug Application) with the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA") took place in January 2016. During the meeting, all open questions raised for discussion following the preliminary assessment of the PMDA were clarified. The PMDA stated that the non-clinical and the clinical data package were regarded as complete for filing in the indication "Induction and maintenance of general anesthesia". The clinical development program fully carried out in Japan by PAION's former partner Ono in general anesthesia was complemented by PAION's growing data sets in all aspects from CMC (chemistry, manufacturing, control) to clinical and pre-clinical data generated outside of Japan. In October 2015, PAION already reported that the PMDA had confirmed that both the raw materials produced by PAION in Europe as well as the finished formulation of remimazolam fulfil the requirements for filing in Japan.
In order to allow using the Japanese data for filing in the EU, the same induction and maintenance doses were used in the European Phase II trial, further confirming the beneficial hemodynamic profile of remimazolam.
In August 2015, the start of the multi-national, multi-center, randomized, single-blind, propofol-controlled, confirmatory EU Phase III study in patients undergoing major cardiac surgery was announced. Due to the complex study design, the trial faced recruitment challenges. Despite intensive efforts to enhance patient recruitment, the trial proved to be difficult to implement in practice. Therefore, in February 2016, PAION decided to discontinue the trial in order to avoid a long and expensive study with the existing design. No drug-related serious adverse events have been observed.
Currently, PAION is evaluating how to resume the clinical development of remimazolam in the EU.
PAION's former partner in Japan, Ono, independently initiated a Phase II trial for sedation in intensive care units (ICUs). Ono discontinued this exploratory trial in August 2013. While all patients were sedated successfully and no significant unexpected adverse events were reported, higher than expected plasma concentrations of remimazolam were observed in isolated cases after long-term treatment.
The observed phenomenon of elevated remimazolam plasma concentrations was subsequently thoroughly investigated using a series of preclinical tests and pharmacokinetic models. None of these experiments was able to reproduce the findings or provide a mechanistic explanation for the elevated plasma concentrations. Further analysis has revealed that such pharmacokinetic deviations are common for utilization of sedatives like midazolam and propofol on the ICU and the most likely explanation is the underlying serious condition of the patient presenting on the ICU. As a result, PAION is of the opinion that the maximum dose level has now been defined for ICU sedation. Further development of the program "ICU sedation" is part of the future remimazolam development plan which will be addressed after availability of required funds.
PAION's product candidate (Remimazolam) is still in the development phase and is not approved for treating any disease in any country in the world currently. It can neither be prescribed nor acquired for therapeutic use.

Yes, the sole reason we're posting about footwear is because some industrious chap went to the trouble of embedding Grand Theft Auto IV iconography -- our second-favorite kind of 'nography -- into a pair of snazzy sneakers. Described as "sick customs" over at NikeSB.org, these asphalt kickers come courtesy of site member "SEANYA." We'd normally work in a few more shoe puns at this stage but, quite frankly, we overstepped the boundaries of good taste last time.

Columban missionaries work in Korea and the Philippines, promoting peace and protection of people and creation. Our faith calls us to dialogue and find peaceful resolution to conflict.
Territorial disputes and increased militarization threaten the peace in the Asia-Pacific. Potential violence from territorial disputes in the South China Sea and the United States military's "pivot" to Asia threatens the well-being of creation and the people Columbans serve.
War Games in the Philippines
The United States and the Philippines held joint naval exercises last week on the Philippines' coast. These exercises exacerbate existing regional tensions. A number of Asian-Pacific nations are disputing islands in the South China Sea for their resource rich waters. China views the United States' "pivot" as a threat and an attempt to prevent China's rise as a global superpower.
On July 2nd Filipino environmental and religious leaders stepped in and petitioned the Filipino Supreme Court, urging issuance of temporary environmental protection orders. The people emphasize that the existing Visiting Forces Agreement lacks environmental protection guidelines.
World Heritage Site Becomes Location of South Korean Military Base
Ezekiel 47 describes a river teaming with God's creation where fishing villages prosper and trees are abundant with fruit. Jeju Island reflects this vision, but it is under threat.
South Korea is constructing a military base on Jeju Island that the United States plans to contract use of for a new missile program. Jeju is a United Nations World Heritage site for its ecological diversity. The base construction is already destroying the fragile coral reef ecosystem.
The way of life on Jeju Island is under threat. Women will be at higher risk; it is commonly held that the presence of military personnel increases the rate of prostitution in an area. Anglers and farmers fear they may not be able to support their families if the base construction and activities destroys the Jeju ecosystem. People also harbor fears that their home will become a target by foreign militaries.
Changing the Paradigm and Moving Towards Peace
The United States military places footholds wherever there may be threats to national security and global status.
How do we reverse militarization and channel our capabilities towards nurturing our Earth's people? Faith holds us accountable for protecting creation through solidarity with one another. How do we balance helping the vulnerable and guaranteeing our own personal protection? We have lost trust in one another. The United States creates similar distrust among our global family from militarizing its southern border to its Asia-Pacific "pivot."
Militarization contradicts the Columbans' mission to protect and live in solidarity. We are thankful to have Columbans working in South Korea and the Philippines advocating for and giving hope to those caught in gray areas of international affairs. In solidarity, we stand with our brothers and sisters in the Asia-Pacific.
Militarization reminds me of advice a parent might offer their child: "Fighting fire with fire only breeds more fire." The arms race is the classic childhood story of two bullies attempting to "one-up" each other on the playground. My parents always taught me about taking the high road. Eventually, one side needs to rise above barriers and fall on a bit of faith and trust.

Cheap and cheerful describes this perfectly. I can't believe that these little sprays are so inexpensive, and they're great for travel. The Green Apple one comes in a bright green tube and smells just like (surprise!) green apple. It's not the most sophisticated scent, but perfect for when you want something light and airy.

I love Sephora note sprays. They are really cheap and great for travel. I'm pretty sure this scent is discontinued, so if you see one pick it up. This is the only green apple scent that I've smelled that actually smells realistic. The spray doesn't last all that long but since they're tiny it's easy to carry along with you doing the day to reapply.

These note sprays are ingenius! I love that they are tiny and can fit in your purse or pocket. The Green Apple smells true to the name. I could eat it (but refrain doing so for obvious reasons *g*) It doesn't last too though, but it does last for longer then Demeter. And for $1 each how can you go wrong?

The Fall of Iron Felix
(AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko)
During the Soviet times, the head of its feared secret police (which underwent so many different name changes, the most enduring being KGB) occupies a third floor office in Lubyanka Building overlooking the large statue of Feliks Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky. Dzerzhinsky was the founder of the feared Cheka, Lenin's secret police, which specialized in state terror and was the forerunner of the Soviet KGB. Dzerzhinsky was there at Lenin's side when the Bolsheviks, then a minority party, took control of the February revolution, and was also there as a pallbearer at Lenin's funeral.
On August 18th 1991, hardliners in the Communist Party demanded the resignation of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. When he refused, they held him prisoner at his summer dacha and declared his resignation due to 'ill health'. The next day, tanks rolled into Moscow to protect the Russian Parliament. In the end, the hardliners failed to win over the military and the KGB and the coup fell apart within three days.
Most of the Western photographers in Moscow were on their August vacation and the events were recorded by two AP photographers, Olga Shalygin and Alexander Zemlianichenko, who won the Pulitzers for AP the next year. On the night of 23/24 August, Zemlianichenko documented the statue of the Iron Felix being toppled by a cheering crowd. As with many Soviet monuments, it was so well constructed that it could not be simply torn down – it took five heavy-duty cranes to lift it and topple it. The statue that came to symbolize the terror committed in the name of the revolutionary cause was one of the most reviled symbols of Soviet rule, and its toppling end of an era.

Talk about "state terror". The early Soviet state was up against a whole world of enemies; imperial countries that intervened in Russia to aid the Tsar's white army in their attempt to slaughter the masses and restore their monarchic order. They, the tsarists, had the record in jew elimination before the nazis, they killed workers on the spot, plus they made a wide use of agents to infiltrate the bolshevik ranks. That's why the Cheka was founded. Not to instill terror against dissidents, which more and more became the case as the regime transformed into the bureaucratic caste it was under Stalin and onwards.
And the bolsheviks didn't "take control" of the February revolution, they simply supported the movement, and took part in it, but didn't have a major position within it before after July 1917. -

Our LoDo location on Wazee street is located conveniently just steps from Denver's light rail. Nearby the bustling 16th street mall, our signature location contains all staple Rocky Mountain High strains!
Please confirm your email before writing a review.
Any flowers that aren't excessively shaky are overpriced, but the flowers on their top shelf are definitely well trimmed despite their lack of cure and overly dry state. Some of the samples may be mislabeled, one of the jars I looked at today bore zero resemblance in smell or appearance to the jar that was on display, the display jar was much more potent in smell and its flowers were much more appealing in appearance. When I asked about this discrepancy the budtender insisted everything was spot on despite the differences in smell and appearance, so I moved on and bought something else, some decent gummies from a brand I hadn't sampled before, which turned out to be better tasting than Edipure (in my opinion) with about the same potency. The atmosphere is very casual, we were treated to view of them rolling pre-rolls in the back out of mixed shake simply because nobody bothered to close the door. This location could definitely benefit from some reorganization and restaffing.
Very concerned with the shatter I picked up. Wet, black, clearly trim and/or recycled concentrate. Flower supply was low and very sub-par. Keep in mind this is the medical side.
Staff was super nice, and location was great (downtown) if that's what you're looking for.
So I'm a longtime med card holder, and I've visited many dispensaries. This one is the worst. Went in, the chick out front asked if I wanted flower or edibles. I wanted flower. "Well, we have one strain, and its a sativa." One strain? Really, just one strain? and the chick kept saying, "You don't understand, it's the government! I'm trying to explain to you, the GOVERNMENT..." She's practically yelling at me as I head out the door. I understand state limits on grows. I understand that a crappy dispensary does not get patients to sign up and can't grow much, or many varieties of weed. Rocky Mountain High is a crappy dispensary.
Had some friends come to town and while walking around we came across Rocky Mountain High and decided to pop in. Having my red card I checked out the Med side which had limited selection but the CBD strain harlequin that I purchased was fire. Definitely wish they had more med edibles though. However the rec side was impressive to say the least. Not only did they have a large selection but it was quality bud. My friends purchased some of their green crack, flo, and banana kush. I tried all of them and they were bomb, especially the green crack! Their edible selection was on point, having choices of drinks, chocolates and candies. We went with the in house chocolate truffles and chocolate bar, both of which were amazing! The chocolate caramel bar is by far the best edible iv ever had!! Would definitely hit up this dispensary again!
I have been into a few of these stores. First off the word on the street is that their weed has had mold at the grow house. And their weed has given mold to other companies that share a grow. The staff is always unhelpful and rude. Poor management and selection of employees there. Lastly they never have a good selection of edibles and that is where things are moving. I did guy a sucker there in Feb and it obviously was labeled wrong and made me so sick I was hospitalized. NEVER GO HERE
From the sad collection of clothing in the "normal store" section upfront, to the sadder selection of cannabis in back, this shop did not leave me feeling happy. And when it came to the prices, I was downright sickened. $35-40 for bud that looks like it was grown by a rookie feels like a foot to the underneath. There was one strain for 25. It smelled like rat poison and looked dried out. Save your money.

The main operating system for PC-compatible systems is Microsoft's MS-Dos, though there is an alternative in Digital Research's DR-Dos, which sometimes offers new features ahead its rival. The core programs controlling basic operations stay pretty much the same from version to version. What have been added are programs which carry out 'maintenance' and file management procedures that used to be provided only by separate 'utility' programs like Norton Utilities or PC Tools.
In version 6 of both MS-Dos and DR-Dos the main additions are file compression and disk defragmentation programs.
Disk compression 'squeezes' files by taking out redundant bits like space characters, so text files which include a lot of spaces can be stored in about half the normal disk storage. The MS-Dos Doublespace and DR-Dos Superstor programs compress files on storing them and expand them when they are 'retrieved' - loaded back into the system. Both do basically the same thing, although, for what its worth, Doublespace seems the more user-friendly.
Defragment programs do a sort of electronic tidy-up. As disks become fuller, parts of the same file may be physically stored in different sectors of the disk and the information brought back together when retrieved by using an index that cross-references all the different bits. But this slows up the time it takes to load a file. Defragment programs re-store all the data on disk so that all the information that relates to one file is stored in the same physical location.
There have been problems with compressed disks, but there also now many millions of users who have survived without problems - and plenty of users without compressed disks have had problems with losing data in disk crashes.
Two tips are to 'back up' - to copy - data regularly and to keep an 'emergency disk' handy. It would take about 60 floppy disks and a large amount of time to back-up a complete 80-megabyte hard disk, so a more practical way is to keep all data files in one directory on the hard disk and just copy that - programs can be reloaded from the original floppy disks.
If the hard disk crashes you may not be able to load the operating system from it and will therefore be prevented from doing anything. So it is a good idea to keep a slimmed-down version of the operating system on an emergency floppy disk because the computer always tries first of all to load from the floppy disk drive. It is also worth keeping on the emergency disk some utilities like Norton's Disk Doctor which can recover data from disks where the file structure has been corrupted.

Each Thursday Coloradolady entertains us with a wonderful vintage party. You are all invited. It starts at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com
Not sure of the date of this sign, but it has to be back in the 50's at least. Nothing has been a nickle in a long time. I researched it, but could not find this exact one.
Did you know that during 1932 - 1934 time frame, you could but a Chippendale mahogany sofa for $135.00? However, in those days that was a lot of money.

This week took me back to Casinoval. I downloaded the Jester slot game because it caught my eye right away. I'd never played it and it looks very similar to a WMS slot game. Something about the diamond, club, heart and spade symbols along with the jester and wide bonus symbols put me in mind of WMS' G+ series and a few others.
I started spinning at $5 per spin. Yes, it was a little high and out of my comfort zone but I've done fairly well at Casinoval so I took a risk. At one point I had a screen full of hearts and wilds for a win of $105. Just when I thought that it was promising the payouts got smaller and smaller until they barely covered my bet.
I can't be the only that does this but I thought it was about time to knock back my bet a little then I hit a bunch of spades for $70 or so. Sometimes it seems like the second you seriously think about reducing your bet something happen. Either you get a bonus or a decent spin that changes your mind.
Finally I really had a decent win. The reels were full of 10 symbols except for two and that paid $184. I wasn't about to lose so after a few more decent payouts I finished up my session $20 up!

Isaac: I don't really understand what's going on, but he just broke down crying. What do you suppose it means, Miria?
Miria: I think it means we won!
A Chewbacca Defense is a way of "winning" a debate through methods other than logic and reasoned argument, up to and including the deliberate use of Insane Troll Logic to confuse people.
The sad part? It works. Not just in media, but in Real Life, too. In fact, most political systems are based on doing this.
Key signs of a Chewbacca Defense include:
Miria: I think it means we won!
— Baccano!
- Being accused of loving or hating X, where X is a subject unrelated to the debate.note
- Having a point repeated over and over again.
- Shouting because if your voice is louder, you seem more powerful, and powerful people always win, so you must be the winner.
- Interrupting your opponent and/or talking about nonsense purely to delay and lengthen the debate (a.k.a. "filibustering"). Common in democratic debate, but dictatorships only bother when they're too weak to silence their opposition outright.note
- Having semantics or nitpicks about the argument come up repeatedly, either to tire out or distract the opponent, or to waste time.
- Being hit rapid-fire with so many bogus arguments that you can't keep up unless you write them all down and painstakingly address them one at a time. This lets the other debater claim your failure to answer a few points as proof that you couldn't answer. Also known as a "Gish Gallop". It is named after Duane Gish, a debater who was known for using this tactic.
- If you can prove the other side wrong about something, no matter how irrelevant, it makes them totally wrong and you absolutely right. See False Dichotomy and Fallacy Fallacy.
- If you can word your statements and arguments in a way that is too confusing, intelligent-sounding, or nonsensical for the opponent to understand or respond to, it makes them wrong and you right. See Insane Troll Logic.
- If you can make your opponent give up on arguing with you, because you appear too crazy to understand them and/or don't seem to be listening, then they must be wrong and you must be right. See Argumentum Ad Nauseam.
- If you can make your opponent look bad, then their argument must be equally bad and therefore they must be wrong and you have to be right. (see also: Godwin's Law, Ad Hominem, Strawman).note
- If you can have more support than your opponent, you must be right because more people agree with you.
open/close all folders
- One GEICO ad from 2016 involves a man on trial who bragged about his crimes online. His defense is that switching to GEICO could save you 15% or more on car insurance. The judge declares him not guilty as a result.
Anime and Manga
- Isaac and Miria from Baccano!. The argument referenced in the quote? It wasn't even an argument at all, but rather a Shrinking Violet trying to introduce himself to them.
- In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the Amoral Attorney tries to get his cyborg client off for murdering his girlfriend by trying to have the trial focus on the supposed (read: completely fabricated) technophobic beliefs of the officer who shot him.
- Used in Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere by Pope Innocentius when he's debating against Masazumi. Masazumi has just accused the Testament Union of abusing the system of History Recreation to benefit themselves at the cost of an innocent person's life. She then proposes an alternative course of action that requires no deaths and benefits not just the far east but ultimately the whole world. The Pope's response? He reveals to everyone listening that Masazumi (who presents herself as male) is actually a girl and then accuses her of just using the situation to take power for herself. It was totally irrelevant, did nothing to counter her arguments, and it almost worked.
- Kill la Kill:
- Mako Mankanshoku is a master of this. A side effect of being the local Cloudcuckoolander is that she often makes completely nonsensical speeches that reduce most villains to stunned silence. For instance, when Ryuko is about to be disqualified from a tennis match she didn't know she was in, Mako steps in and argues that Ryuko won because she entered the match by rescuing her.
Mako: She may have lost the match, but she won with friendship! Winning with friendship means winning at life!- One of the first episodes has Ryuko losing a fight horribly because of her modesty interfering with Senketsu ability to bond with her. Mako's response? GET NAKED! Mako then goes into a long-winded speech about how Ryuko has the best bust she and her family have ever seen, and she should have no problem showing it off to her opponent. It actually works in that Ryuko gets over her modesty and proceeds to win the fight.
Comic Books
- Parodied in Astérix and the Laurel Wreath, where both opposing lawyers on a case attempt to use the same Chewbacca Defence.
- In Youngblood: Judgment Day, defense attorney Skipper calls several witnesses to testify about a seemingly irrelevant detail of Riptide's murder (a book missing from her shelf), completely derailing the trial. At first, this seems like a textbook Chewbacca Defense, but the alternate sequence of events he proposes, that the theft of the book was the real motive for the murder and the perpetrator was Youngblood teammate Sentinel, actually turns out to be true.
Fan Works
- The One Piece Fan Fic series Gorgon Zolo makes reference to the South Park episode with Gaimon, the midget-afro-treasure chest-pirate taking the place of Chewbacca — as part of a disclaimer, no less.
- In Equestria: A History Revealed, this was done in Chapter 4, in which the narrator purposely attempts to confuse you with confusingly similar terms and insane logic, and practically tells the reader that they just have the accept the confusion and move on, despite it not making a lick of sense.
- The Vinyl Scratch Tapes:
Octavia: What do solving mysteries have to do with music anyway?
Vinyl: What don't they have to do with it?
Octavia: ...That's so stupid I don't know how to respond.
Vinyl: Hurray, that means I win by default!
Films — Animated
- Kronk's shoulder devil in The Emperor's New Groove tried this: his argument for why Kronk should let Kuzco die was that (1) his angel counterpart was a pansy; and (2) he, the devil, could do a one-handed handstand. The latter actually convinced the angel more than it did Kronk, who was just confused and told them both to leave. This is particularly amusing because this is one of the few times Kronk actually poses an intelligent question as opposed to his usual demeanor as Dumb Muscle.
Shoulder Devil: Reason number two: Look what I can do! (Does a one-handed handstand)
Kronk: But... what does that have to do with—
Shoulder Angel: No, no... he's got a point.
Films — Live-Action
- Thank You for Smoking provides an excellent example of this when the protagonist, a pro-tobacco lobbyist, demonstrates this debate technique to his son:
Joey: ...so what happens when you're wrong?
Nick: Well Joey, I'm never wrong.
Joey: But you can't always be right...
Nick: Well, if it's your job to be right, then you're never wrong.
Joey: But what if you are wrong?
Nick: Okay, let's say that you're defending chocolate, and I'm defending vanilla. Now if I were to say to you: 'Vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream', you'd say:
Joey: (playing along) No, chocolate is.
Nick: Exactly, but you can't win that argument... so, I'll ask you: so you think chocolate is the be all and end all of ice cream, do you?
Joey: It's the best ice cream, I wouldn't order any other.
Nick: Oh! So it's all chocolate for you, is it?
Joey: Yes, chocolate is all I need.
Nick: Well, I need more than chocolate, and for that matter I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom. And choice when it comes to our ice cream, and that, Joey Naylor, that is the definition of liberty.
Joey: But that's not what we're talking about.
Nick: Ah, but that's what I'm talking about.
Joey: ...But you didn't prove that vanilla was the best...
Nick: I didn't have to. I proved that you're wrong, and if you're wrong, I'm right.
Joey: But you still didn't convince me.
Nick: (Pointing to the passers-by) Yeah, but I'm not after you. I'm after them.- Cut to the two of them eating vanilla ice cream cones.
- To top it off, the film begins with Naylor cleverly turning around criticism, convincing a juvenile cancer victim and TV talk show audience that in fact it's the cancer victims' advocate who's selling death, because the tobacco industry wants people alive to smoke while the advocates need them dead for their work.
- Plus when Joey has to write an essay on what's best about America, Nick replies "Our endless appeals system," with almost knee-jerk response time.
- In The Coen Brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There, ace lawyer Freddy Riedenschnieder seems to base his career on this. His defense of the protagonist's wife involves a truly baffling spiel about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, while his defense of the protagonist himself involves some weird, vaguely existentialist drivel about him being a "New Man" in a modern, morally ambiguous world and thus, presumably, he isn't responsible for the crime charged. Unfortunately it gets interrupted.
- In Animal House, Otter somehow turns the charges against the Deltas for having sex with their drunk party guests into an attack on the fraternity system, which is an attack on college, which is an attack on America. Then all the Deltas march out humming The Star-Spangled Banner. This does not help in the least. But the Deltas don't really care.
- A prime example is the movie Listen to Me, where the debates got so convoluted, that you couldn't even tell which team was on which side anymore. It starts off with the protagonist's team being against abortion, and ends up with them being for it in the same debate.
- Surprisingly enough, it actually happened to Star Wars with Chewbacca himself. In the special features of the DVD set, when George Lucas proved too difficult for the executives to meddle with (thanks to Alan Ladd, Jr.), they turned to a different approach: "But the Wookiee has no pants!" knowing that changing that would require re-shooting a lot of scenes, which would put Lucas severely over budget. Thankfully, that didn't work either.
- The short film The Flying Car from The View Askewniverse features Randal asking Dante what he would do to get a flying car. He mentions cutting his foot off without anesthesia and having a German man fondle him, which Dante eventually agrees to. Randal then calls him out for agreeing with that.
- Liar Liar: In a deleted scene, Fletcher defends an incredibly guilty mugger, somehow spinning his robbing an old man at the ATM and beating up a cop who tried to arrest him into his trying to help the man pick up dropped coins, being mistaken for a mugger, then attacked by the police. It's truly epic to watch. And it works.
- In Albert Camus's The Stranger, Mersault is convicted not so much for shooting an Arab as for not loving his mother enough and being an atheist.
- The entire purpose of Newspeak grammar B in 1984 was to make a Chewbacca Defense easier - that is, to throw so many arguments at the opponent that he won't be able to answer, and leave people with no words to use anyway.
- In Gormenghast, Steerpike uses this method to manipulate two mentally retarded sisters into doing his bidding and keeping quiet about it—after all, he must know what he's talking about if he uses so many long words...
- There are also hints that the reason the entire population (including its ruler) of Gormenghast go along with the pointless rituals enacted by Sourdust, Barquentine and then Steerpike is that they are so portentous and complex that it is assumed they must be really important and necessary.
- The Tom Clancy novel Executive Orders has politically-inexperienced President Jack Ryan questioned about abortion. He states that he's pro-life, but the decision should be left in the hands of the Senate. After he gets offstage, his Chief of Staff angrily points out that he just alienated the conservatives and the liberals; the former probably thinks he's using the Senate as an excuse, and the latter think the Senate is the only thing keeping him from rampaging all over a woman's right to choose. This is a rare example of an unintentional Chewie Defense (the CoS, incidentally, mentions that he himself is pro-choice).
- America (The Book) lampshades this process with one of the most interesting moments in Senate history.
Senator Strom Thurmond (R-SC) set the record for longest filibuster with his 24-hour, 18-minute speech railing against a civil rights bill. Thurmond's oration obliterated the previous filibuster record, a 13-hour description by Daniel Webster of the massive dump he just took.
- In Gery Greer and Bob Ruddick's Max and Me and the Time Machine the title characters' consciousnesses are sent back through time, ending up in the bodies of Middle Ages people. When the Earl of Hampshire tries to talk one of them into joining the Crusades he takes his Great-Uncle Dexter's advice ("If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em") and comes up with a rather interesting oration.
M'lord, thou hast asked me a question fair and true, and I shall answer thee forthrightly and forthwith. Hark ye! Mark ye! The House of Representatives! I speak, m'lord, of first base, second base, third base, and—forsooth—home plate! Zounds! For a farthing, I would leave my heart in San Francisco. Nay, nay, a thousand times, nay. Dracula and his band of ruthless ruffians shall not bob for apples! Ho! Therefore, wherefore, I do say it so!
Live Action TV
- On Community, this is Amoral Attorney Jeff Winger's go to strategy as a lawyer. He particularly seems to like invoking 9/11. Subverted when he uses it in debate: his team loses, 50-8 (and the 8 were to Annie).
- Used within Monk in the episode "Mr. Monk Takes the Stand" (Season 8, Episode 5), by attorney Harrison Powell. The defendant, Evan Gildea, was accused of murdering his wife, and his alibi is based on the existence of a large slab of marble that Gildea smashed apart and scattered across his driveway. Powell brings in the pieces and declares that, if Monk is right about the marble being a single piece which Gildea broke apart, then he should be able to put it back together, like a puzzle. So, Powell picks up a few random pieces and tries to fit them together. Of course, the odds of a few randomly selected pieces of a puzzle just happening to fit are very small, and so they don't. Powell asserts that this is proof of his argument. Powell ends up winning the case, though to be fair it's assumed that this is more because of Monk's severe mental condition shedding doubts on his testimony than Powell's performance.
- A Bit of Fry and Laurie has a deliberately ridiculous example in the sketch "Judge Not". It starts:
Lawyer: So, Miss Talliot, you expect the court to believe that on the evening of the fourteenth of November last year, the very year, I would remind the court, on which the crime that my client is accused of committing took place, you just happened to be walking in the park?
Witness: That is correct.
Lawyer: That is what?
Witness: Correct.
Lawyer: Oh it's correct, is it? I see. I wonder, Miss Talliot, whether you were aware that the American novelist Gertrude Stein was a self-confessed Lesbian?- ...And only gets more absurd from there.
- Best part? The witness is the lawyer's mother!
- During a sketch of Monty Python's Flying Circus the lawyer calls in several unrelated "witnesses", including a "dead" man in a coffin (who knocks once for "yes" and twice for "no").
Judge: It's only a parking offense!
- Many TV pundits make a living out of using this trope. Just about any public commentator of any political leaning may eventually end up here once they get enough fame. Of course, this calls for a lot of parodies — not always discernible from the real thing.
- Stephen Colbert:
- Parodied in The Colbert Report, who uses several variations of this when arguing with his guests, asking them foolish and emotionally provocative questions like "Why do you hate America?" and (back when George W. Bush was still president of the United States) "Bush: great president, or the greatest president?" He's even done this when arguing with himself, creating circular arguments along the lines of the following: If you were sent to Gitmo unfairly, you'd be angry enough at the government to want to overthrow it, and hence you'd deserve to be sent to Gitmo.
- While still on The Daily Show, the Even Stevens bits which he performed along with Steve Carell were excellent parodies of this. The bits would begin with one of the Stevens saying the question under debate, followed by both alternating YES! or NO! as loudly as possible.
- Played for Laughs in the Leverage episode The Juror #6 Job. Hardison (who has no formal law training) needs to pose as a lawyer to help the plaintiff win her lawsuit. He stalls as long as possible, and discredits the defendant's scientific expert by getting him to admit that he (the expert) is on the no-fly list because of a history of lewd conduct on airplanes.
- The Black Adder episode "Witchsmeller Pursivent". The evidence that Edmund is a witch includes that he was heard speaking to his cat, and that he feeds his horse carrots. It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context.
- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: In one episode Detective Benson investigates the role of an Army-administered medication in triggering assaults committed by veterans. During the trial, the military officer defending the Army accuses the detective of hating American soldiers, rather than challenging her on the evidence.
- Played for Drama in one Suits episode. Donna is on mock-trial in the firm for perjury after covering up for Harvey. Louis is playing the prosecutor. His Armor-Piercing Question: "Do you love Harvey Specter?", which he repeats over and over again until Donna breaks down and runs out. Louis wasn't doing it out of spite, however, and explains in his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Harvey that in a real court case the prosecuting lawyer would use the same dirty tactics.
- Claire Huxtable uses this in an episode of A Different World where she takes Vanessa to visit Hillman and is "caught" having dinner with an old boyfriend. Vanessa questions Claire about her behavior; Claire simply responds that Vanessa can ask questions when she's "had five children and can still fit into a size six dress." This shuts Vanessa up pretty well.
- It helped that Vanessa was already in trouble for sneaking out to go on a date with Dwayne which is how they ran into each other.
- Michael of The Office (U.S.) does this in the episode "China" at the end of his debate with Oscar on China's role in global politics. Oscar knows much more about the situation than Michael does, so Michael launches into a completely irrelevant speech about freedom and the American way. Everyone applauds, while Oscar vainly tries to remind them that it had nothing to do with the original argument.
- In an episode of Batman where Batman and the Penguin are running for mayor of Gotham City, the Penguin points out that Batman is often seen in the company of criminals while he himself is often surrounded by police. He argues from these (technically true) facts that Batman is probably a criminal while he himself is an associate of the law (this after pointedly declaring that he will not engage in mudslinging).
- An episode of L.A. Law saw attorney Michael Kuzak in a civil suit, contending with an opposing lawyer who kept interrupting testimony by stopping to do magic tricks, a tap dance and other antics. Since the judge was doing nothing to stop it, Kuzak had to fight fire with fire: he delivered his closing argument wearing a gorilla mask, and point-blank told the jury that the other side was doing this to keep them from noticing that they had no case. He won.
- From the original radio show The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
Zaphod: What are they? Clinically thick?
Ford: I think they're very clever; they're trying to confuse us to death. - Used often, sometimes by both sides at once, on The Debaters.
Stand Up Comedy
- Comedian Ron White joked about this once.
Ron White: I got kicked off the high school debate team for saying "Yeah?! Well, fuck you!" I thought I had won. The other kid was speechless. I thought that was what we were tryin' to do.
- The musical Chicago has a song titled "Razzle Dazzle" that explains the trope quite thoroughly. It includes the line, "How can they see [the truth] with sequins in their eyes?"
- In the court scene of Oklahoma!, this happens:
Man: I feel funny about this! I feel funny!
Aunt Eller: You'll feel funny when I tell your wife you're carrying on with another woman.
Man: I ain't carrying on with no one!
Aunt Eller: Maybe not, but you'll sure feel funny when I tell your wife you are. - "He Is An Englishman" from H.M.S. Pinafore is used as a defense of the leading couple's actions (of which the captain disapproves because their ranks differ). The captain is so confused by how this does or does not relate to the situation — especially because everyone on the Pinafore is English — that he ends up swearing, for which he is confined to his cabin.
Video Games
- Ace Attorney:
- Phoenix Wright is accused of doing this in the second game's final case by his long lost rival, Edgeworth. It's arguable that Phoenix did so in that case to stall for time, as well as in the third case of the third game in order to make the guilty party point out a detail of a piece of incriminating evidence introduced for the first time a few minutes ago, when he was out of the room - something he couldn't have known unless he was the killer.
- Edgeworth himself does this if he presents wrong evidences when under player control, only to be call out on it by Franziska Von Karma.
- This is also the perennial strategy of his protégé, Apollo Justice. In the third case of his game, it turns out to be impossible to do because Apollo doesn't have the necessary evidence (he only wins the case because he threatens to call a decisive witness). The true killer had to be a Borginian cocoon smuggler as was previously proven. So, Apollo says that if the witness admits he's a smuggler, thus proving that Daryan is his accomplice, it in turn decisively proves that the only one who could be the killer is Daryan himself, as he is the only smuggler with no alibi for the murder. On top of this, considering that Borginian cocoon smuggling is punished with the death sentence in Borginia, if he admits he smuggled the cocoons during the current trial, the duty of punishment would fall on the American (Japanese in original version) courts instead of those of Borginia, meaning he would not be killed. So in other words, the killer must testify about his crimes, otherwise he will die, which means that there is no escape for the true killer.
- A witness actually pulls this off in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies. Hugh O'Conner's testimony about his body double in the mock trial is so unbelievable, so illogical, and so transparent that the prosecutor, Simon Blackquill, ragequits the questioning to "go for a stroll." It's actually pretty effective, since the defense eventually does get the truth out of Hugh, and Blackquill isn't there to hinder the proceedings.
- In Escape from Monkey Island, amoral real-estate developer Ozzie Mandrill nearly succeeds in taking over the Caribbean with this method. All pirate disputes are settled with Insult Swordfighting and other insult-based games, but no one can understand Ozzie's Australian slang. Since no one who fights Ozzie can come up with the counter to his insults, he wins by default.
- In the Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy cartoon within SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!, Mermaidman is convinced that the choir performance they're watching is a football game. When Barnacle Boy tries to set him straight, Mermaidman responds, "Oh, you're only saying that because your team's losing!". Barnacle Boy tries to argue further but is completely unable to respond to this and just gives up.
- Used offensively in Umineko: When They Cry during the third arc. Battler has to prove that magic wasn't used to do something and rather than preparing actual logical arguments he just rushes on ahead and declares his victory before his opponent has any idea how the logic game even works. She turns out to be really good at it when she's given a chance to think, however.
- Mass Effect 2:
- Earning a discount, Renegade style:
Shepard: HEY, EVERYONE! THIS STORE DISCRIMINATES AGAINST THE POOR!- During Tali's trial, if you don't bother speaking to the admirals but still have a high enough score to persuade them, you can convince them to let her off by pointing out that she did good some other time and you're shouting loud enough to get her out of trouble, dammit!
- Danganronpa Turns this into a gameplay mechanic in the way of Bullet Time Battle, where the opposing side usually in a last ditch effort to defend themselves tries to throw a combination of random insults and nonsensical arguments at Makoto with a loud noise at rapid succession. To counter this the player has to destroy the opponents assertions and eventually counter their final statement with the truth. True to this trope, loosing these debates leads into an instant Game Over.
- Inverted in Darths & Droids, when Han is saved from treason charges by a literal Chewbacca Defense.
- In the webcomic Elf Only Inn April uses the "silence means consent/defeat" strategy in this discussion with Percy the sarcastic paladin:
April: I can tell by your silence that you know I am right.
Percy: (frowning) I bet you find that people "know you are right" an awful lot.
April: (happily) I don't like to brag but no one even tries to argue with me anymore. - This strip◊ from the webcomic Medium Large.
- In strip #280 of The Order of the Stick, one of the lawyers planned a Chewbacca Defense using a comically oversized boot, despite the fact that he was a part of the prosecution.
- This Shortpacked! strip. Based on an actual troll on his blog.
You are working at a toy store, yes? Does that not make you a hypocrite?
What? How does that even—?"
Money equals power. Power equals camel. Camel equals five celery sticks. Five. Quid pro quo. - In this Something*Positive crossover, Aubrey uses it proactively.
- Not even used for any real purpose, but effective nonetheless in this Vexxarr comic.
Web Original
- The Nostalgia Critic review of Suburban Commando suggests using the line "I was FROZEN today!" randomly in an argument to "watch what happens". He demonstrates it by acting out an argument with himself, in which the person who is yelled at with the line stares with a confused and slightly horrified look before slowly backing out of the room.
- Most of the examples here are spoofs of the Chewbacca Defense. The list could itself be perceived as a straight example when someone tries to use it as proof that God does not exist (and that, itself, is actually on the list).
- "Argument From Argumentation," where one arguer just says God exists over and over until the opponent leaves, is practically a template for all the others. The opponent's arguments, since they're ignored anyway, are all written as "[Atheist's counterargument]."
- Pretty much any forum out there on the Internet (politics, religion, video games, etc.) will see this happen at some point. Or at many points. If someone believes they are right, they will fight to the death to make other forum members know that his opponent is dead wrong. This has advanced to the point where there are specific Chewbacca Defenses that can be pointed out and some have even taken on a new life as memes.
- Godwin's Law states that as any internet debate rages on, the probability of one side comparing the other side to Hitler gets closer and closer to one. The "Hitler rule," a universal Internet rule established based on Godwin's Law, dictates that once the Godwin Point has been reached, the person who referenced Hitler or the Nazis has automatically lost the debate and there is to be no further discussion on the subject. A corollary to the rule holds that invoking Godwin's Law intentionally because you're sick of debating ("You're Hitler. Debate over.") doesn't work.
- It should be noted that the Hitler Rule itself can also be considered a Chewbacca Defense. "This person mentioned Hitler, therefore their argument is false" doesn't really fly.
- The comedy stylings of IMAO (In My Arrogant Opinion) are almost all based around this (such as nuking the moon for world peace).
- This is how to win an edit war on The Other Wiki, where the content is often controlled not by those with the more accurate information but by those with the strongest opinions.
- This is not only limited to The Other Wiki: because they are edited by users who inevitably don't all share the same opinions, any wiki can devolve into a shouting match where the most opinionated side is deemed the right one.
- Pick any online argument. 9 times out of 10, one side will spend more time tap-dancing around an issue or the nature thereof with technicalities and hairsplitting than actually directly debating their stance on it.
- This was discussed in a video of Andrew Klavan On The Culture where the opposing argument can supposedly be defeated simply by telling them to shut up, as if preventing them from speaking their point of view immediately invalidates it.
- Linkara, of Atop the Fourth Wall uses this in the form of 'because the kool-aid man is red' as an excuse for poor writing.
- Cracked:
- Cracked's take on how Mt. Rushmore got approval had the proponent of carving 3 President's heads (Lincoln was added to seal the deal) using this to leverage his position.
- Discussed in this article. Most of the argument techniques mentioned fall into this trope's territory.
Western Animation
- The Trope Namer comes from the South Park episode "Chef Aid". The defense is employed by Johnnie Cochran.note An oft-overlooked aspect of the defense is that Cochran himself points out that the argument that he's making is utter nonsense, and is just using this as yet more evidence that the whole trial is a joke and the jury should acquit.
Cochran: Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
- Justice League:
- In the episode "In Blackest Night: Part II", The Flash becomes the Green Lantern's attorney during his trial. The former doesn't have a clue what to use to turn the case around, so he uses a Chewbacca defense. He ends his speech with "If the ring wasn't lit, you must acquit!" Both of them end up getting sentenced to death. It's a Justified Trope in this case, since Flash wasn't really trying to win, just slow the trial down so that Superman and Martian Manhunter would have enough time to find proof that GL was innocent, which they did.
- Later, a talk show host accuses the League of causing more crimes than they solve. Proof? White collar crime (which the league doesn't cover) went up 3%! And the real kicker: half of marriages end in divorce, and the other half... in death! Clearly, DC needs a superhero to tackle white collar crime, and a superhero marriage counselor.
- In The Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Identity Crisis", Venom leaks Peter Parker's Secret Identity to the press. When Spider-Man denies being Peter, Venom tells the press that former has to be Peter, since Spider-Man would have to unmask himself to prove he wasn't Peter. Spider-Man stops mid-battle to tell Venom how little sense it would make for him to reveal his secret identity to the world just to prove who that identity isn't.
- The Boondocks:
- "The Trial of Robert Kelly" features R. Kelly on trial for urinating on a minor. Despite the absolutely overwhelming evidence against him, he wins the case because of his popularity and his lawyer used manipulative Logical Fallacies such as comparing R. Kelly's perversions to the Founding Fathers' (in an inversion of Hitler Ate Sugar) and accused the staggering evidence of being "really" based on racism. The defense lawyer also made an issue out of the fact that the DA in the case, Tom Dubois, has a white wife (Sarah). Huey Freeman calls the entire court out on their stupidity afterwards, asserting that not every famous black men that gets arrested is Nelson Mandela. He also points out while the government does racially persecute a lot of innocent black men, R. Kelly is not one of them and that if they really cared about him, they should do everything in their power to make sure that he gets the help that he needs to overcome his problem. Everybody ignores him, of course.
- In "Return of the King", Huey and Martin Luther King, Jr. are on a Fox News-type show, and the host responds to King by saying "Do you love America?", implying that King is simply anti-American. What's worse is that the way he asked it seemed to imply that it's a standard question that he asks everybody in the hopes of sparking conflict. And what's even worse is that a political pundit (Sean Hannity) has said these very words verbatim multiple times. It also didn't help that the height of this line's popularity was during the lead-up to the Iraq War. Though he doesn't really get anywhere with this dialogue, because he promptly gets assaulted with a projectile folding chair and beaten up by a child.
- Though this doesn't really happen in the "Apprentice Games" episode of Chowder (unless you count the awkward singing that drives everyone the hell out of the stadium) it is outright explained by Mung Dal in these words: "Winning isn't about being the best. It's about being so incredibly bad that the world can't possibly ignore you!"
- Family Guy: Adam West uses this when Lois is running against him for mayor. Lois then wins the election by taking Brian's advice to do the same thing.note
Lois: Nine...
(audience inhales)
Lois: Eleven!
(audience cheers) - The Simpsons:
- An episode involved Lisa joining the school's debate team. In her first debate, her opponent, a brunette girl, immediately circumvents the subject for debate in favor of breaking down Lisa's argument on the grounds that Lisa is a Dumb Blonde. Much to the chagrin of anyone with half a brain, it works.
- Another episode, when Marge was being prosecuted for shoplifting:
Prosecutor: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Who do you find more attractive. Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson?
Judge: What is the point of all this?
Prosecutor: Your Honor, I'm so confident of Marge Simpson's guilt, that I can waste the court's time rating the superhunks.
Lionel Hutz: Ooohh. He's gonna win.- And in Homer's dispute with the phone company:
Homer: I accuse the phone company of making that video on purpose.Lindsay Naegle: Well of course we did...Audience: [shocked gasps]. - An episode of Martha Speaks has the titular talking dog taking part in a trial. To sum up the story so far, the cranky old lady next door had her lawn furniture wrecked by a guy who was clearly talking on his phone while driving and running a red light, almost running other Martha and the lady. Martha, being a talking dog and all, is brought in as a witness. Then the driver brings in a dog expert who says that Martha's testimony is wrong because she talks because she is a poorly trained dog (she isn't), and thus wouldn't know that she shouldn't be able to speak. True, the reason why is speaks only seems to work on her (and the letters from alphabet soup ending up in the brain is a little...impossible) but that's the same logic cartoons use with gravity only working when you look down or being able to fly until someone points out your particular species is incapable of flight. Around that point, the plot starts to get a little confusing, with the old lady, for no really explained reason, siding with the guy who almost ran her over.
- In an episode of Duckman, Duckman insists on using this despite having just been proven not guilty by virtue of the fact that he's in the one town in America where ignorance of the law is an excuse...because he wants to infuriate King Chicken so much that he confesses to setting Duckman up in the first place. And it works.
King Chicken: What are you talking about?!?Duckman: I DON'T KNOW! But what I do know is that, even though there isn't a thought in my head, it is my right as an American to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk...
- The WordGirl villain Ms. Question was able to get out of a jail sentence the first time this way. It helps that confusing people is her gimmick and she causes people to suffer short-term amnesia.
Real Life
- According to texts from Ancient Greece the Sophist theory of debate relied heavily on the use of this trope and other logical fallacies to win arguments, apparently on the grounds that logic and wisdom were merely tools to get what one wants and that they had no inherent value beyond that. Although most of what we know about them comes from texts written by their political rivals the idea still stuck, leading to the modern term "sophistry" to represent this form of debate strategy.
- The Twinkie defense. It got Dan White off a double-murder charge. Curse you, Hostess!note However, the defense was not actually "Twinkies made him do it" but that White, a health nut, had been depressed at the time of the murders, with one of the signs being he'd recently started eating unhealthy food, including Twinkies, and thus had diminished capacity at the time. Still not great, and California eliminated the defense soon after due to the backlash. White later told a reporter that not only were the murders completely premeditated, he actually intended to kill more people.
- Jared Fogel attempted to defend himself against child pornography charges with a Subway Diet Defense. It didn't work.
- The trope namer was based on Johnnie Cochran's defense of O.J. Simpson. The lead forensic expert on the case, Dr. Henry Lee, kept making guarded allusions to "something not looking right" with the evidence. This was all it took to convince the jury, marinated in horror stories surrounding the LAPD's past conduct, despite Dr. Lee not providing any real examples as to how the evidence was faked. Much of the forensic evidence had already been notoriously confusing. Cochran later went on a long spiel in his closing argument, comparing Mark Fuhrman to Hitler for his past racist statements and ultimately blaming unknown drug dealers for the murders.
- Incidentally, in his book To be a Trial Lawyer, F. Lee Bailey wrote disapprovingly that if a client is guilty, then a lawyer's best bet is to get the most unintelligent jury possible. He also wrote that a lawyer should never ask a witness a question to which the lawyer doesn't already know the answer (also one of Rumpole's maxims, and common wisdom among experienced trial laywers).
- High school and college debate in the U.S. can get extremely convoluted. Since the point of competitive debate is not just to argue about a topic, but to defeat your opponent, most debate strategy is built around trying to trip up the other side. As a result, some coaches feel that implausible and goofy arguments are better, since it forces the other side to waste time trying to respond. If they ignore the argument, you can claim that you won the point since they didn't respond properly. The classic example is if you're arguing against a resolution, you try to prove that their plan will eventually lead to nuclear war, even if it's about something like homelessness or health care. Sometimes debaters will respond to an argument like that by agreeing that it will cause nuclear war, but that nuclear war is a good thing. The "correct" way to respond to it is to refute it with specific evidence in your debate file, taking advantage of your ability to speak last. Another method is to not even argue about the topic but object to your opponent's argument on philosophical grounds (e.g. accuse them of being racist or sexist). Depending on the judge, calling them out on their rule abusing Chewbacca Defense may or may not result in it getting dismissed.
- In addition, some high school debaters adopt the style of speaking so quickly, their opponent would lack the opportunity to write all the arguments down, leading to the opponent being unable to argue certain points. By remaining silent on these points, the person who speaks quickly would be able to "extend" their arguments, since their opponent did not respond to their arguments; therefore, they must technically agree.
- Generally averted with Parliamentary debate styles, which are by far the most popular English-language debate styles outside the U.S. These include British Parliamentary (the style used at the World Universities Debating Championship), Canadian Parliamentary, Australasian, and indeed American Parliamentary, which is rapidly increasing in popularity. In such formats, using a Chewbacca Defense can and will get you marked down heavily by the judge. The point is not to trip up the other side, but to attack the logic that lies at the heart of their argument.
- Derailing for Dummies outlines steps to win any argument by derailing it with a Chewbacca Defense and then claiming the person on the business end is the one derailing it.
- Jargon usually exists to facilitate communication in a specialized context where "normal English" could be imprecise, would require lengthy qualifiers, or is simply badly suited to conveying an idea. It also develops naturally, like slang. It's also useful for purveyors of baloney, since jargon is often difficult to understand if you're not in the field. This can and generally does lead to people throwing around words like "privilege" and "erasure" in arguments without even knowing what they are.
- Misusing scientific and medical terms are favorites for Chewbacca Defenses. The word quantum and equivocations with the word energy are favorites, with antioxidants and alkali/acid showing up perennially in health quackery. These are really problematic to defend against, since first the correct definition of the scientific or medical term has to be defended.
- The obvious counter is to get the other person to define the terms as soon as possible, then point it out every time they contradict or alter their definition. This sometimes leads to the discovery that they're not actually using the standard definition of the term, in which case they may insist their definition is the "real" one for some reason.
- Jargon usually exists to facilitate communication in a specialized context where "normal English" could be imprecise, would require lengthy qualifiers, or is simply badly suited to conveying an idea. It also develops naturally, like slang. It's also useful for purveyors of baloney, since jargon is often difficult to understand if you're not in the field. This can and generally does lead to people throwing around words like "privilege" and "erasure" in arguments without even knowing what they are.
- According to the argumentative theory of reasoning, the entire evolutionary purpose of human reasoning is to win arguments; finding the truth is purely incidental. Therefore, the theory goes, bias and irrationality evolved because of this trope.
- Commentary Programs. In any venue where a host holds a position opposed to that of his or her guests, arguments commonly degenerate into a maelstrom of very loud Chewbecca Defenses. Sometimes it even occurs during formal debates where the host is supposedly neutral to all parties, but decides to insert personal bias anyways.
- Among the atheist and agnostic community, this kind of argument is often referred to as a "Gish Gallop", named after Creationist, biochemist, and professional debater Duane Gish, who was well known for using the Chewbacca Defense against evolutionists. His typical method of winning a debate was making sure he was first to speak, rapidly firing off a massive number of points of questionable scientific validity which his opponent couldn't possibly have time to address individually, and claiming a win if as few as one of his arguments remain unaddressed. Worth noting, he still tried this in his debate against Michael Shermer. Shermer went first when debating him and not only explained why all Gish's questions were wrong and how his quotes were all out of context, he even stole all his jokes. Gish then gave the same speech he always gave and declared himself the winner.
- Cato the Elder is famous for (among other things) ending his senate speeches with "Carthago delenda est," which translates as "Carthage must be destroyed." All of them. Regardless of what he was discussing. For example, "Yes, I agree, let's raise the taxes on grain. Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed." He continued this practice until the day he died - shortly before Carthage was razed to the ground.
- Cicero:
- This was a common tactic of Roman lawyers, especially Cicero. His "Pro Caelio" is an excellent example, using everything from immense verbosity to pretending to channel a certain woman's dead father to call her a slut. These tactics pull the judges completely off-topic and acquit the defendant Caelius, who is most likely guilty.
- It gets worse. The personal attacks he used to such great effect were on the sister of Publius Clodius Pulcher; Clodius and Cicero hated each other, so it wasn't at all difficult for Cicero to lambast the Clodii. Additionally, Clodius and some of his family did not have the most savory reputation at the time, so the personal attacks were effective as an appeal to existing prejudices as well.
- Ironically, Cicero was responsible for one of the most glorious subversions of this style of debate during his successful prosecution of Gaius Verres, the super-corrupt governor of Sicily. Verres hired Quintus Hortensius, widely regarded as the finest Roman lawyer and a master of the florid rhetoric that often swung trials. Hortensius, in addition to his planned Chewbacca defense, also deployed a battery of procedural tricks to delay the trial, giving Cicero only 9 days to present his case (this in an era when opening speeches usually lasted 5!) before a new, bought and paid for judge would be installed, making Cicero's job impossible. Cicero, who had spent the previous year shuttling between Rome and Sicily, gathering evidence (at one point summoning a mob and breaking into the Sicilian archives and carrying them off, and interviewing all of Verres's victims), simply stood up, outlined all of the defense's tricks to the prosecution, and then proceeded to call his witnesses one by one, making no speech at all. It took less than three days before Verres packed his bags and fled, disguised as a woman, to Masillia, where he died.
- Politics thrives on this to the point that listing all the examples would cover most of human history.
- Arthur C. Clarke once wrote an essay describing his methods of dealing with cranks. One of his suggestions was to respond to the crank with even greater levels of insanity until he leaves, thinking that you are the crank.
- In his defense of James "Jimmy Youngblood" Smith, on trial for the murder of Ian Campbell, defense attorney Irving Kanarek frequently attempted to end debates and questioning by asking the same question over and over, in hopes the judge would grow exasperated and back down. His antics not only drove at least one prosecutor from his profession in disgust, but led Charles Manson to request him as an attorney during his own trial.
- "When did you stop beating your wife?"note
