Ep 7. Grape Juiced

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is an American adult animated television series that originally aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block from 2000 to 2007. The show follows the adventures of Harvey Birdman, a once-successful superhero who has since become a lawyer, defending cartoon characters from all sorts of legal trouble.

In season 2, episode 7, titled "Grape Juiced," Harvey finds himself representing the Grape Ape, a massive purple gorilla who has been accused of assault and battery at a juice bar. The episode begins with the Grape Ape entering the juice bar and ordering a "grape juice." However, when the bartender informs him that they don't serve grape juice, the Grape Ape becomes enraged and starts to wreak havoc, tossing tables and smashing machines.

Enter Harvey Birdman, who quickly takes on the case and begins to investigate what really happened that night at the juice bar. What follows is a hilarious and absurd courtroom battle, as Harvey and his assistant, Peanut, try to prove the Grape Ape's innocence while dealing with the wacky antics of the witnesses and opposing counsel.

One of the key themes of the episode is the role of alcohol in the incident. The bartender and some of the witnesses claim that the Grape Ape was drunk, while the Grape Ape himself denies having consumed any alcohol. As a result, much of the trial revolves around the question of whether or not the Grape Ape was intoxicated at the time of the incident. This leads to some humorous exchanges between Harvey and the witnesses, as they try to explain what they saw and heard that night.

Another standout aspect of the episode is the absurdity of some of the witness testimonies. One witness, for example, is a sentient grape who claims to have been squeezed and consumed by the Grape Ape. Another is a woman who dresses up as a grape and claims to have seen the Grape Ape do "unspeakable things" to her fellow grapes.

Despite the silliness of the trial, however, there are some moments of genuine tension, as Harvey and Peanut struggle to find evidence that will exonerate the Grape Ape. At one point, it seems that all hope is lost, as the prosecution presents a convincing piece of evidence against their client. But Harvey is able to think on his feet and come up with a clever argument that turns the case around.

Overall, "Grape Juiced" is a hilarious and engaging episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law that showcases the show's unique brand of humor and absurdity. Whether you're a fan of the original show or simply looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to deliver.
