Judge Judy Drops the Zippity Doo-Dah Clause

A litigant isn’t happy when Judge Judy orders him to return a dog and tries to push back against her decision. But he quickly learns that arguing with the judge could make his trip home a little more complicated.

Judge Judy reminds the man and his girlfriend that appearing on the show means agreeing to abide by her ruling. When he continues resisting, she delivers a memorable warning involving their return flight and a perfectly timed “zippity doo-dah.”

Judge Judy continues to entertain viewers with Judy Sheindlin’s sharp courtroom comebacks and unforgettable exchanges with litigants who refuse to take no for an answer.
