Sebastian Maniscalco: New Lawyer - SNL


This SNL sketch (0:00) depicts a courtroom scene where a defendant (Tommy Brennan) is assigned a public defender, who turns out to be comedian Sebastian Maniscalco (played by Marcello Hernández), just starting his law career (0:34).

Key Highlights:

  • Comedic Defense: Instead of focusing on the case, Maniscalco regales the court with childhood anecdotes about his father and a belt (1:42), causing the judge to ask if the baby is happy (2:40).
  • Court Artist Drama: The lawyer interacts with the court artist (Picasso), asking to be painted in specific poses (2:51).
  • Argument Attempt: Maniscalco finally attempts to argue the case by suggesting his client would have needed to be Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible to avoid the store's lasers (3:31).
  • Contempt of Court: After another comedic tangent, the judge finds the defense attorney in contempt of court (4:53).
