The New York Times has produced a short video that brings to life the verbatim New York Times depositiontranscripts from what has to be one of the most frustrating depositions in history (which is saying something, isn’t it?).

The real-life script comes from a 2010 court case in which an Ohio county recorder’s office was sued for charging $2 per page of photocopied public documents. The issue in question: the definition of a photocopier. 

We’re not going to kill the joke any further by explaining it. It’s funny. Just watch the video.
