Courtroom

"Case dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters."
"Your dampness is irrelevant!"
"Court dismissed! Bring in the dancin' lobstahs!"
"I hereby sentence you to one week locked up in a box with two contagious sick people!"

A recurring sketch on The Amanda Show, "Judge Trudy" is a parody of the popular courtroom show "Judge Judy." In each sketch, a child plaintiff brings a petty or often ridiculous complaint against an adult defendant. Judge Trudy, played by Amanda Bynes, invariably sides with the child, no matter how outrageous their claim, and delivers absurd and hilarious sentences to the adults. The sketch always ends with the iconic line, "Court dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters!" at which point giant lobsters enter the courtroom and dance.

The exact episode number of the first Judge Trudy sketch is unknown, but it is from Season 1. There is also a "Best of Judge Trudy" compilation episode that aired in 2002.
