When Badman turned up at Bristol Crown Court, late, the court heard that last month he committed a public order offence.
Catherine Flint, defending, said: "It was on November 7.
"He was drunk and he was a bit mouthy to a couple of Police Community Support Officers.
"He has pleaded guilty and he is being sentenced on January 5."
Judge Julian Lambert handed Badman a six months community order with two days' rehabilitation.
He told Badman: "I can't parent you.
"I can't be your mate.
"I can't be your social worker.
"I'm the judge.
"Thank Miss Flint and get yourself off to the train station."
