Sammy Davis Jr. was having entirely too much fun with these judge bits. I couldn't stop grinning myself.

Just as funny as it was 55 years ago! I miss craziness like this. And Sammy was a damn treasure!

I was one of many kids back then going around saying " Order in the court room, here come da judge, here come da judge ! "

Sammy Davis Jr. was so talented and funny. Whenever he was a guest on Laugh-In you knew you could expect some extra hilarity.

This is when TV was TV and not what TV is today.
There was great writers.

I remember that as a kid. "Here come the judge, here come the judge" 🤣

My favorite, though it's not in this video
"You better start to shake, you better start to shiver
you better get ready 'cause you're goin up the river!"

These routines were from Pigmeat Markham on the Chitlin Circuit when Davis was a child.
The next year, Pigmeat was a Laugh-In regular

Fani Willis: This judge is going to start a war on crime, and everybody here's gonna get some time. Here come da judge! Here come da judge!

One of the best TV skits EVER! Only Sammy Davis Jr could have pulled it off with such panache and attitude! Soooo glad I was around as a kid to hear these "Here Comes The Judge!" bits in their inaugural airings. My brain - and impish soul, too - are forever tattooed with it all! 😉😁👍

"Sammy Davis and the original meme" - Someone forgot Pigmeat Markham when they wrote that.
