I didn’t expect Then Vice President Biden to appear on Law & Order: SVU.

[giosy]

I didn't expect that they would have Biden appear in person.

[jules]

I legit thought that they put an A.I. Joe Biden in the beginning due to how unexpected it was lmao...

[Picassostrash]

I clicked on this video NOT expecting Biden to show up

[xoxo.]

tell me why i looked at the video again to make sure I was watching the right video😂

[natiliee.s.]

I thought I clicked on the wrong video.
I thought I was watching the news or press briefing for a second.

Henry Thomas has had a great career! He's so laid back that you forget he was a child actor! So glad he didn't go off the rails! He's so good at acting!

[mikebasil]

I have great respect for how Henry Thomas could so courageously take on this most delicate role. Thankfully I still remember him best for Elliot in E.T.

[jediclonekag]

I forgot that Joe Biden was in Law & Order SVU.

"The team are forced to go after him again and find out if jail time made him a killer."

What a weird way to ask if being falsely convicted and put in a (by design) dangerous prison environment made him a killer. 🤔

[sb]

Who thought this was a political ad before the actual video?

hey defense attorney, where's the objection? he's very obviously leading the witness
its lawyering 101, or were you on a lunch break?

[tinondoro]

I had to take three takes to make sure it was Biden 😂 Law and Order budget is HUGE clearly

[jakecaswell]

I can't feel bad for this guy, he was falsely accused of a crime and had to go to prison for it, this led him to go down a long painful road and the team just brushed it off as an honest mistake. To be honest this is a problem with most current episodes of SVU, there is no sympathy for the perps even when they are not all entirely guilty.

[derrell_sanders]

I didn't know he was here in this episode

[Mk-gkwv]

Joe was a VP when this came out. I feel old 😓

[produccionesquino]

See's Biden in a Episode of "SVU" got me like "Oh the Fucking Irony"

[karrae]

Anybody expect FJB to say "My friend Olivia Benson" at what small "q & a' they allow him to have

[GeddanWithEternalLove]

People talking about Biden but fewer are talking about Landsman going from being part of the BPD to a defense attorney? Not sure I'd call that being "good POH-LEASE."

[CandiceGoddard]

Was this based on Stephen Avery? It's quite reminiscent of that case.
