He needs to do a voiceover for a cat in an animated film.
Agree
That's what I was thinking about. His voice and accent are so adorable and perfect for an animated character.
I was thinking the same thing.
Exactly - this is still the GOAT - the next animated film that requires a lawyer as a character needs to a cat voiced by him
Great idea 😂
His voice works so perfectly with the cat filter too. I don't think it would have been so funny if he had a different voice. omg, so much joy from and for this video
The great thing is the guy sounds as innocent as the cat!
My daughter honestly thought I was having some kind of breathing issue because I couldn't do anything but wheeze. Watching this is a great ab workout. I still laugh everytime.
Poor guy, looks like the type of guy who would get stuck with a filter on his screen😆🤣🤣
he is the type of guy who used his power to wreck a womens life and carrer
@@sabias3932 he was dating a woman. they broke up. after he used his power in law to wreck her life
Hearsay or cite valid sources
I did it for you
Kelly is right... No matter how many times you watch it, it just doesn't get old... 🤣 So thank you Rod for helping us all to laugh in a time we all really needed to laugh. Laughter is medicine for the soul.
Fucking ICONIC 😂😂😂 2 years later and I come back to it all the time “I’m prepared to go forward with it”
I have watched this probably about 5000 times and I nearly pee my pants every time. My cousin (who is an attorney) posted this on Facebook and I must have hit the replay button about 50 times in a row the first time I saw it! When the cat goes "uhhhhhh" and his eyes start nervously darting around, I nearly died! Then, when the cat nodded its little head as he was saying he was prepared go forward with the case, I almost couldn't breathe! I think these filters mimic your eye, mouth, and head movements, which makes it a million times funnier!!!!! How were the other two attorneys on the call able to keep such straight faces?! The guy in the top right corner cracked a tiny smile, but I would have had to mute myself because I would have been in absolute hysterics!!!!!
Omg same! I pissed! Lol and when he goes uhhh and the cats face ! LMFAO 🤣😆😂
I laughed so hard co-workers checked on me. It sounded like I couldn't breathe. I called Ron's office and thanked him for a genuine laugh.
That cat video is one of my all time favourite, so pure, innocent and I love everybody involved in it, handled it with understanding and kindness.
I cannot stop laughing at this! This is hilarious!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I liked him for his cat filter. Now I even more like him for his fancy cowboy hat!
Bless his heart! I feel for this guy!
I am STILL watching and sharing this! It's brought me such laughter and joy !!
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen on the news, watched it as many times as you Kelly. Laughed so hard! Hilarious! 😆 🤣😂🙌🏻👏🏻 🐱
Zoom call filter error and Kelly's reaction to it is hilarious af
The first time I watched it I laughed so hard. Like my legs were weak and I had tears in my eyes. Watched it over and over and it was as funny as the first time.
I CAN'T EVEN!!!! My sides hurt so bad from laughing.......
This will NEVER, EVER get old....!!! 🤣🤣😂😂
Omg how the other two can keep a straight face is beyond me 🤣🤣🤣 I'd be dyin
Especially the way the cats mouth moves when he speaks as though he were a cat speaking.
you do see the guy in the bottom left put his spec on as if to double check what he was seeing, the top right took a while to react. I don't think he knew how to react.
I saw this clip thanks to the Court Cam show, and I hadn't been able to get over it since! The cat seems to be expressing the same concerns as the lawyer and it's too hilarious!
Kelly Clarkson is actually a really good interviewer.
Yes, she is! She is a million times better than Ellen!!!!
She looks miserable
She’s a natural ☺️
This time Rod the cat got his human filter right
I laughed so much! I 😺 So much fun. .. we needed some laughter. 🌻
Kelly just put this whole thing into words! "it brings me so much joy!" With the eyeballs OMG! I've watched this clip abut a million times. I will put anything on hold to watch it if it shows up on my feed. One of my most favorite few moments in video history! The Texan Kitten ready for court!✨❣️ Bless you Ron Ponton!✨ You have cheered literally millions of people up with that kitten!
I just saw this today for the first time! Oh my gosh! I am still laughing this evening and I watched it this morning for the first time. I shared it with all my kids and my grandkids and we are all laughing about it still. They haven’t seen it either. I’m surprised they haven’t seen it! This definitely needs to be shared and shared and shared! 😹😹😹
I've watched this video so many times! I crack up each time! 😂😂😂
He was prepared to go forward with the case even as a cat. That's the kind of lawyer I want.
I feel sorry for the 2 people that gave this a thumbs down. If you’re that sad and depressed, please get help.
look him up. he is a evil man
@@78Soko why he is evil?
@@htoosaw9012 look it up. he used his power to stalk a woman
@@htoosaw9012 He had a one-night stand with an 18-year-old girl back in 2014 when he was in his 50s and then stalked/harassed her.
@@jrwheeler81 Still a funny ass video
"She's trying to... ahww.... " it fits so perfectly with the cat 😭
I can’t stop laughing I almost pee here sitting on my couch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This had me laughing SO hard! I needed that, too, Kelley!
I can't deal oh my cod that's funny. I think I pulled a muscle laughing
Funniest thing I've seen in YEARS. Thank you old, nervous Texas cat dude!
Lol ha hilarious laughing each time I see this... " I don't think you're a cat " " I'm not a cat .. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The cat chin moving when he spoke!!
The fact he isn’t laughing it’s even more funny
I’d have liked to see the cat laughing if he had!
This clip had me belly laughing for ages 😂😂😂😂
The 394th Judicial District Court says: "Recording of this hearing or LIVE STREAM is PROHIBITED!"🤣🤣🤣🤣!! IT - WENT - VIRAL!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is a life gives you lemons make lemonade. Life gives you cat working with the legal case.❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤
This is so funny, Im having fun, thanks for your laugh Kelly, have a good day
His voice is perfect for animation omg!! I hope attorney Ponton gets a hollywood job! 😄✌🎶
I was on a 4 month long lockdown in Melbourne Australia at the time and me and my sister were in tears watching this,it's so funny.Thank you for the distraction
This man made me laugh so much.....cant imagine how many times I watched this ..Thank u so much
This is soo funny🤣🤣
This is 2023 n still a MUST watch clip
The other guy, Jerry, finally looking up realizing there's a cat on the screen and chuckling did it for me xDDD
😂"I'm NOT a cat!"😂 LMAO at that re,mark!!😂
Absolutly the best
He is so sweet ❤❤
The cat turned on his 'Human Filter' for the interview. You ain't fooling me, I know you're a cat!
What if he has been doing zoom meetings like this all along and wasn’t aware of it. 😂
Three years later and I have the same reaction. I laugh until I’m almost crying.
Some Dell software supposedly defaults to the cat when you use Zoom, Skype, etc. That is too funny. You'd think being a lawyer that he would have performed a test run 1st though. I was in a Skype meeting once and this guy was picking his ears and smelling his finger. 🤢🤣
omg I love him 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
American lawyers must make this a tradition to have one of them as a cat.
I remember that day it became so viral, I laughed and cried 😹 so hard i nearly choked myself 😂
Why is this cat using a Ron Ponson filter??
THE BEST of 2021 year from hell. Go Blue TX!!! Blame assistants kid NOT. Alpine is lovely. I prefer the Aussies who include the judge a hunk.And bless them all. Such an Upliftment!
In the upper left square it specifically states recording of this live stream or hearing is strictly prohibited. The attorney with the cat filter is the only participant who has a Zoom watermark/copyright. How did the other participants take part in this virtual meeting?
Rod is so cute!!
Aww he sounds nervous and cute! 🤣🤣🤣 That is Texas right there!
He’s amazing!
umm I'm sorry - Where is your dress from?! LOVE IT!
Hey Kim! 🤣❤
It would be much funnier if he came on the show using the same cat filter
Still laughing at this
Ok the judge is hot as hell.
Maybe he should keep the filter on at all times
In reality his cat is his owner
I loved the Cats's eyes!!!!!
This was so viral that my colleagues were surprised that I was not a cat (my cat is my MS Teams photo) when I finally met the new people in person recently.
I loved it sooo much!!!
Is Kelly Clarkston wearing the Wonderbread package?
It does look like Wonder Bread. It’s the pattern. Lol.
The sexy pkg
Hysterical
I laughed so hard I nearly died
And the way his name was typed in lowercase whereas the other 2 were written like normal 😂
Omg , hilarious 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🐈
so funny. 🤣
Liked him better as a cat .I used that darn tall Texan hat.
Oh man when he started talking I thought he was a cat.
what was the case?
We willl never know.
He’s a bad person…
It was GOOD CLEAN FUN!!!
I'm disappointed she didn't ask if he was able to turn the filter off or proceeded as a cat. 🤣🤣🤣
It kills me that I can't be friends with Kelly :(
I still don’t buy it. “I’m not a cat” is exactly what a cat would say….
Any word from the daughter re: instructions? I’d like to only have that filter on for every Zoom meeting I’m forced to endure for eternity.
*I’ve googled to hell and back, none of the instructions I found led me to this filter.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love that cat 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That kitten filter is lovely lol Not sure who she is ( yes folks not everyone online is an American ) but her dress is absolutely hideous !
I hate to be that guy but this guy is the very definition of lawful evil
Wacky Zoom calls like this were one of the few good things to come from the pandemic insanity. Even today, when politics and real life become overwhelming, I like to watch videos on YT of newscasters and weatherfolks getting upstaged by rambunctious dogs and cats.
😂😂❤
☝️🐱I'm not a cat . 🖥️ 👔💼
2:23 No. It's more a man-made deus ex machina born by simple forgetfulness
First! ❤️❤️❤️
Old people these days
