Jury Duty is a Reality Show that takes a look at the inner workings of the American jury system through the eyes of the jurors themselves.Or at least, that's what Ronald thinks.In reality, Jury Duty is a Candid Camera Prank series in which oblivious Every Man Ronald Gladden is placed in a fake trial without realizing that every single person involved, besides him, is a paid actor. Ronald has to deal with situations ranging from a fellow juror who won't stop falling asleep to a completely incompetent defendant, all while deliberating on a trial that gets increasingly bizarre as it goes on. | |

The Prima Donna | |
| Jury Duty (2023) / int_1fa5ae07 | comment |
The Prima Donna: James Marsden is characterized as this during the show. He is unbelievably full of himself and pulls constant selfish stunts, such as hiring paparazzi at the trial in an attempt to get out of jury duty and later obtaining special treatment to return home that the other jurors do not have. He spends the entire show more focused on getting a part in the film than bonding with the others and flips out when he loses the part, flipping over Ross' birthday cake in a fit of rage. Obviously, this is all a bit that makes fun of his perceived image as a pretty-boy actor. | |

Small Name, Big Ego: James Marsden is characterized as a mid-level Hollywood star who vastly overestimates his fame. Only a few of the jurors know who he is, and most of them only vaguely recollect his biggest roles. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Jury Duty (2023) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Ronald turns out to be quite a good foreperson, especially during the deliberation episode. Although the events are staged, he does a good job conducting the conversation, listing evidence, addressing each juror's concerns, and diffusing tension. When he finds out Ross is the sole dissenting vote, Ronald also manages to resolve the situation and obtain a unanimous verdict without singling him out. Of course, this is only "hidden" in the sense of what we've seen of Ronald on the show, since he's a real person. | |

| Jury Duty (2023) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: In "The Verdict," Alan Barinholtz (Judge Rosen) breaks character to reveal that the entire show has been this for Ronald. The various decisions Ronald made (covering for James Marsden, befriending Todd, helping Noah and Jeannie get together, refusing Ken's money) are the reasons why the show awards him $100,000. | |

Stylistic Suck: The animation the defense shows of the incident is rudimentary, confusing and aggressively buggy, glitching out five seconds in. The lawyer comments how this is the last time he will trust his nephew for animations. | |

Rich Bitch: The plaintiff is a self-centered rich woman. The jury notes that she spends most of the trial sitting with a pouty expression. She uses her testimony to complain about how jealous she thinks everyone is of her. It's ultimately determined by the jury that she caused the defendant's accident through unsafe working conditions, covered it up, and then blamed it on the defendant. | |

Mistaken for Racist: After a mishap when the jury tours the shirt press, Todd is forced to change into one of the defective misprinted "Jorf" shirts. When the jury visits Margaritaville later that night, a table actually leaves their seat early and offers it to the group because they support Todd's shirt. It turns out that "Jorf" is a white supremacist dogwhistle, and they have to get Todd a new shirt from the Margaritaville gift shop so they aren't kicked out for his offensive clothing. | |

| Jury Duty (2023) / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: While the trial was conducted in a rather normal fashion through much of filming, aided by the fact that the legal professionals are all played by actual experts, it does take a lot of license, particularly on the final day, to make things crazier. | |

You Remind Me of X: Ronald, in an attempt to connect with his hotel neighbor Todd, watches A Bug's Life with him, which Ronald explains is because Todd reminds him of Flik. Since they are both quirky inventors that think a little differently from others, Ronald thought Todd would appreciate seeing someone like him on film. | |

Manipulative Editing: In the final behind-the-scenes episode, we're told that jury duty was rather boring most of the time, with zaniness only happening occasionally, which helped it seem more real to Ronald. We see only the zany parts. James Marsden also reveals that he behaved normally through most of the filming and would take efforts to make amends and apologize for his selfish outbursts to prevent Ronald from developing a hatred for him, but these were all left out of the episodes. We see once such incident in the final episode, where it's revealed that Ronald became too upset by James destroying the cake, so James was sent back in with a replacement cake to apologize. | |
