A courtroom turned unexpectedly funny after a young woman admitted she had missed her court appearance because she was asleep.
When asked why she hadn’t shown up earlier, she sheepishly told the judge she overslept. Instead of exploding with anger, the judge hit her with a warning — and a joke.
“Do that again, and you’ll end up in jail… just like Monopoly,” he quipped, referencing the famous board game’s “Go To Jail” card.
The courtroom burst into laughter, and even the woman cracked a smile, though the judge made it clear he was dead serious about the consequences if it happened again.
The clip has since gone viral, with viewers loving the mix of humor and authority. Many praised the judge for keeping the mood light while still sending a strong message.
👉 What do you think — best way to handle it, or should he have been stricter?
