Keeping in mind that there will never be a gif that sums up Judge Judy's scowling genius and technophobic lifestyle as good as this one grabbed by Tracie...
...below are others that I made, which amuse me greatly. I've been collecting them for a while now -- I watch Judge Judy virtually everyday and aspire to be 1/10th as brilliant and quick on my feet as this sprightly 68-year-old. In most courtroom programming, I think you mostly watch for the cases and the trashy, ridiculous people who present/defend them. I go to Judge Judy for Judy, who's oftentimes the biggest lunatic in the room. I don't even know what she was going for with probably half of the gestures below, but I'm sure glad she did them anyway.
Judge Judy is totally my hero. Luv. Huh.

I have the biggest fantasy of seeing my ex husband in front of her. Reaming him out for not paying a measly $150.00 dollars a month for a decade.

This is a thing of beauty. I love Judge Judy so much. I was never so happy in my life when I found out that she and I have the same literary agent.

My middle school English teacher was EXACTLY like Judge Judy: haircut, voice, mannerisms, attitude, everything. I'm sure I'm wasn't the only pre-teen growing up in Jersey who had a similar experience, it becomes kind of a cliche there. This post brings back fond memories.

Judge Judy for prez
Posted by: Kristen R. | February 18, 2011 at 08:28 PM
i love Judge Judy and watch her every day too!
I'm surprised there isn't a supercut video of her telling people how much more experienced she is or how smarter than them she is with such gems like "on my worst of worst days, I have more intelligence in my PINKY than you do in your entire being on your very BEST day, even if you lived to be 100 years old!". wow. haha
sometimes the litigants have comebacks or sass, (recently she told a defendant she had over 40 years experience, and the defendant said, "I can tell." Threw her off a bit, lol ) but JJ always gets the last word.
