* [[Character Filibuster]]: Juror #10 has a particularly nasty, racism-filled rant against "the likes of him [the accused]" [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|that causes the other jurors to turn away from him one by one, until #4 shuts him up]]:

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:

'''Juror #11:''' ''Doesn't'' even speak good English. }}

** To make it even funnier, Juror #11 is an immigrant to America from Europe.
