Michael Youngling (Thanksgiving Special)

*"Sorry about that, Mr. Grinch! Traffic was a doozy! I have everything ready, this will be a very easy case. We'll be out of here lick-ity split!"*
―Michael Youngling to The Grinch[src]
**Michael Youngling** was a professional lawyer, who represented The Grinch in his court trial against *The Incredible Crew*, who he sued for trespassing the Grinch's Hideout without his permission, and trying to steal his turkey so they could celebrate Thanksgiving. Despite Michael Youngling's best efforts to give The Grinch the justice he believed he deserved, they were both defeated in the case when Knollad exposed The Grinch for having fake gun legislation documents, information that The Grinch never bothered to give to his own lawyer.

## History

### Representing The Grinch

*"Prosecution, please start your opening statement..."
"Thank you, your honor. The defendant is currently charged with: Breaking and Entering, Attempted Robbery, and Aggravated Assault with no battery."*
―Judge Hank Hill and Michael Youngling[src]

In November 2021, Michael Youngling represented The Grinch as his lawyer in a court case against *The Incredible Crew*, who were convicted to have trespassed the Grinch's Hideout without permission, so they could steal his Thanksgiving turkey. Michael Youngling was late to the courtroom due to busy traffic, but he remained positive, telling The Grinch that he had gotten everything ready, and that this would be an easy case. Judge Hank Hill had Michael speak on behalf of The Grinch, with Michael stating that the Grinch had the rights to use his Glock-19 against Knollad for self-defense purpose. Michael hoped that the court would realize the gravity of this situation, and give The Grinch the justice he deserved.

### Interrogating Jack Jabolon

*"What can you tell me about the night of November 25th, 2021?"
"Knollad was stealing a turkey!"
"And... what else happened?"
"Knollad tried stabbing The Grinch but he got shot! It was so funny!"*
―Michael Youngling and Jack Jabolon[src]

Judge Hank Hill told the prosecution party to start sending people of the guilty party up to the seat next to him, so Michael Youngling promptly chose to question Jack Jabolon. Michael began to interrogate Jack, questioning if he was friends with the defendant. Jack said he wasn't causing Knollad to get upset, telling Jack that he was. Jack however, said that he wasn't the defendant, but rather just Knollad. Michael asked Jack if could provide him insight into what happened on the night of November 25th, 2021, with Jack saying that Knollad was stealing a turkey, and that he tried to stab The Grinch with his army knife, but got shot by The Grinch's Glock-19, describing the event to be funny. When Jack started going crazy, Michael didn't question Jack any further.

### Interrogating The Grinch

*"The prosecution calls for The Grinch to come up to the stand."
"Let's get this shit running! I'm about to expose all you liberals. :100:"*
―Michael Youngling and The Grinch[src]

Michael Youngling used his prosecution powers to have The Grinch questioned. When asked about what happened on the night of November 25th, The Grinch went on a rampage about an Old Lady he had crossed paths with while working at Walmart, but Michael concerningly urged his client to get to the relevant information. The Grinch did so, telling Michael that Knollad and *The Incredible Crew* broke into the Grinch's Hideout, claiming to have been paralyzed from the neck down by Knollad.

Michael then asked the Grinch if Knollad was ever a threat to him, causing The Grinch to reveal his Hive Mind, remembering of a time in another universe where Knollad cut him in half. Upset, The Grinch went on a rant about how all Knollad did in every universe was brutally hurt him, but Michael got sick of The Grinch's ranting and asked no more further questions. Saul Goodman was then sent to question The Grinch himself, asking if it was true that he stole Christmas. Michael, believing this information to be irrelevant, objected Saul Goodman's question. This upset Saul, who started shouting at Michael in Russian, before going unconscious.

### Fabricated Gun Registrations

*"You honor, please, this is just a petty attempt at prolonging the trial. We need to wrap this up, please."
"How am I trespassing if this dude doesn't even OWN THE LAND?!"
"You honor, please. The Grinch is a registered person as shown by their gun-registration documents."*
―Michael Youngling and Knollad[src]

Believing Knollad to be guilty, Judge Hank Hill sentenced him to 30 years in prison, much to The Grinch's satisfaction. Just then however, Knollad shared the judge some information regarding the possibility that The Grinch wasn't even a real person. Michael Youngling objected, disbelieving this to be relevant, and requested that they concluded the trial. While Michael tried to convince the Judge that The Grinch was indeed a certified person because of his gun registration documents, the Judge realized that the documents were fake, much to Michael's surprise. Michael then turned to The Grinch, frustrated that he never told him that he faked the documents.

### Losing the Trial

*"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF, MR. GRINCH?!"
"I'm about to be in chains and shackled with the keys thrown away, AND YOU DIDN'T DO SHIT ABOUT IT, DEMOCRAT!"
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO!? YOU FAKED YOUR- YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU FAKED YOUR DOCUMENTS!"*
―Knollad, The Grinch and Michael Youngling[src]

With The Grinch exposed, Judge Hank Hill ruled him to be guilty. Upset, The Grinch blamed Michael Youngling for not doing anything about the situation, but Michael stated that he couldn't do much to help him out, because he never bothered to tell his lawyer that he faked his documents. The Judge suddenly realized that The Grinch faked his social, so he sentenced him to death row. Unfortunately, The Grinch blasted out of the ceiling, hoping to escape custody. With the trial over, Michael began questioning who would pay him for being The Grinch's lawyer, saying that his client was gone, and he wasn't even a real person. Sometime later, Michael observed *The Incredible Crew* as they chased down The Grinch, who was successfully captured and taken to jail. Michael Youngling later died during the destruction of the universe.
