Suits season 9 concluded its story arcs, with some comedic moments shining in the episode "Windmills." In a particularly absurd scene, Louis envisions a trial with Faye as the defendant. His first line, calling her "a villainous pirate by the name of Faye Pooperson," sets the tone for the humor. What makes it even funnier is the fact that Louis plays both the lawyer and judge in this dream. The scene escalates with twelve Harveys serving as the jury and Faye receiving a death sentence. It's no wonder that Louis Litt unintentionally steals the show as the funniest character in Suits.
