* KangarooCourt: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJinWua98NA The titular song]], whose part of its lyrics and video tell about a sham trial associated with the trope.
--> So I tried to save face then I rest my case\\
The judge pulls me aside says c'est la vie\\
Let your darker side come out to feed\\
\\
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!\\
Sit up! Sit up! Sit up!\\
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court.
