A Canadian show aired by MuchMusic (and later picked up by Fuse in 2011; they actually used to be the official American version of said channel way back when), where 5 different comedians comedically riff over 5 different music videos.Given the title of the show and its structure, the show did use some justice system-based motifs and imagery, including referring to the panelists as the jury and songs as cases, the introduction to a case featuring what they were "accused" of (followed by a humorous "sentencing" at the conclusion of the case), and more, especially in the earlier seasons. The fifth season dropped most of the courtroom motifs from the show's presentation, although the core format remained identical.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The final season, which premiered in July 2014, underwent a major Retool: Aisha Alfa and Paul Lemieux became permanent hosts and the show relied more on cutaway gags and recurring segments (making it feel more like Tosh.0) rather than the rapid-fire riffing. It only lasted 4 episodes before Much pulled the plug on the show completely as a part of major layoffs (which also saw the cancellation of Much's remaining original music programs, and a hiatus for its weekly countdown).

Chroma Key: They sometimes use a green screen for jokes or backgrounds, but most of the time the jury is just in front of a plain black wall. As of the 2014 revamp, they now have a green screen set with the Toronto skyline,

Cultural Cringe: Videos featuring Canadian artists got their day in court quite often. The mere presence of the mockery is probably enough to qualify for Canadian content to begin with, but they cranked the stereotyping up to eleven when they did a special episode focusing exclusively on Canadian music.
