Funny / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials After Justice

Go To

Case 1: Checkmate and Turnabout

  • Maya is forced to fill in for a trial because Wright overslept. That in itself, is hilarious.
  • Winston Payne's response when the judge asks him how he's feeling after losing to Maya:
    Payne: I... I... I just LOST to someone who hasn't even passed the BAR EXAM!!! HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL!?!?

Case 2: High School Turnabout

  • Natasha Strictly, one of the teachers at Thomas Light High is very desperate for love.
    • Her attempt to hit on Hugo:
      Strictly: Would you like to clean the floors in my house, Hugey-baby...?
      Hugo: YIIIIIPE!!! Uh-er-some-er-what Th-th-that would be-I uh! Look at the time!! Imma go... clean the toilet...! Bye, Mr. Wright!!!
      Strictly: Tsk! There goes another one... But then a boy in blue came walking into my life...
      Wright: (Erk! I think I want to go clean some toilets myself!!)
    • Her attempt to get info from the police:
      Strictly: I asked the police but they gave me the silent treatment... Oh! But they look so cute in the blue uniforms. So handsome!
      Wright: (I think they ran off as soon as she went into "desperate for a date" mode.)
    • Showing Hawk's profile to her, yields this result:
      Strictly: ...! Wh-wha-who-who is THAT!!!?
      Wright: (Uh-oh...)
      Strictly: Th-this man...! You can only DREAM that hunks like this exist in the world! Who is he!? I MUST KNOW!!!
      Wright: He-he's the prosecutor... I think he's wandering around the school-
      Strictly: (leaves)
      Wright: ...somewhere...
      Maya: She ran to her desk and is putting Make-Up on!
      Wright: (I have a feeling I made Mr. Hawk's day a tad more complicated...)
  • When Hugo tells Wright that the defendant, Sherman Diggits used to be a musician, he shows him a magazine with Diggits on the cover to prove it. During which, Wright comments in his head that the jacket Diggits is wearing looks like something his grandpa would wear. Later, when the magazine cover is shown in court to disprove a witness's statement, the judge comments that he's pretty sure he owns the same jacket.

Case 3: Turnabout Daredevils

  • If Wright examines the concession stand during the investigation, Maya will comment on all the food and order him to buy her something. Wright responds to this by pretending there's no food there and gets pinched.
  • The Running Gag with everyone being a HUGE fan of the Super D Stunt Show. Even Hawk can't help but get overzealous when Wright asks him about it.
  • Mills Macintosh's "thinking" pose:
    Macintosh: (starts chewing on an apple) *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch*
  • Paulo Pitstop says that he's gonna make the person behind framing Dera ride the "Loop-De-Soup". One would think this is a weird metaphor for an ass-kicking, but it's actually the name of a stunt where someone rides over a giant bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with a motorbike using a tightrope.
    • The thought/image of Pitstop forcing the case's culprit, to do this, is pretty amusing.
  • Maya's plan to get Hawk to let them investigate Dera's dressing room is to annoy him... and it works.
    Hawk: (after Maya asks him a bunch of questions and makes suggestions for him) Hey!
    Wright: Yes?
    Hawk: How do I get her to shut up?
    Wright: Well... She really wants to investigate the room so...
    Hawk: *grumble* Nrghhhhh...
    Maya: Hey! I never told you that I was a spirit medium! Would you like to know about the history of Mystic Ami?
    Hawk: Argh! Fine! You two can look around too! Sheesh!
    Maya: Aww, Mr. Hawk! Thank you! You're sooooo sweet.
    Hawk: Yeah, I'm a peach...
  • While investigating the dressing room; Maya comes across one of Dera's helmets, puts it on, and faints. She regains consciousness shortly after, but is apparently still dizzy that she asks Wright to carry her. He does so, but when the two end up running into Pearl, she comments on this, and Wright drops her out of shock.
  • When Lotta Hart takes the stand she's in a chipper mood and greets everyone politely, including the defense because he's "not like the blue suit that makes me cry after every..." Then, she actually looks at the defense and realizes, yes, it's Wright, the one she just described.
    Judge: Very well. Mr. Wright. Let's have that cross-examination.
    Lotta: (glares at Wright) ...
    Wright: (I'm kinda afraid to. She looks like she wants to bite my head off...)
    • Hawk and the Judge both get scared of Lotta and try to deflect her wrath onto Wright.
      Judge: Ms. Hart! You better come clean here! Your testimony contradicts the facts of the evidence presented.
      Lotta: Hey! Don't make me out to be a liar! I only told ya what I heard!
      Judge: Ah! Don't yell at me, please. I-It was the defense! Point your aggravation at them!
      Wright: (Did the judge just throw me under the bus there?)
      Lotta: I heard a gunshot! I know I did! If you people would just listen!
      Hawk: Why are you so certain you heard a gun fired? It was already explained that the gun isn't real.
      Lotta: Listen, soldier boy! I keep tell'n ya, I ain't lying!
      Hawk: D-Don't yell at me! The defense said you were wrong!
      Maya: Why is it so easy for them to put the blame on us...?
      Wright: You'd think they would have more class than that.
  • Wright tries to point out to the court that the photo of the robber proves it couldn't have been the defendant because she's a woman and you'd be able to make out the shape of her breasts through the outfit. However, he ends up stammering and gets too embarrassed to continue. Hawk calls him out on this, but is then too embarrassed to explain it himself when Wright tells him to go ahead.
    Lotta: What is this...? Why ya'll acting like two geeky boys asking fer a date?
    Judge: I never thought I'd see the day when you two would act so... pathetic...
  • As it turns out, Lotta has a custom-made trash can that she uses to take pictures and follow people around ala Metal Gear Solid. When Wright and Maya spot it in front of the stadium, they try to search it, only for Lotta to pop out and surprise them.
    • Later, Wright brings it up in court to disprove a claim made by the witness.
      Hawk: You have GOT to be kidding...
      Judge: Hmm... I remember doing some stakeouts in a trash can once! Never thought about putting leg holes in the bottom. I'll have to remember that!
      Wright: (Don't ask, Phoenix. Don't ask, Phoenix. Don't ask, Phoenix...)
  • The payoff to the Running Gag where Wright finally learns from the judge just how much the Super D Stunt Show deluxe seat tickets cost:
    Judge: If I had $3,000 dollars for each ticket, I WOULD have invited you!
    Wright: Your Honor, I....... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHTTTTTT!!!?!?! $3,000 for each ticket, Maya!?!?!?
    Maya: N-now Nick...
    Wright: (I... I... I need to put my head down for a minute........)
    Hawk: Um... Your Honor, if we could please get back on track with the cross-examination...?
    Judge: Hrrrmmmm... Very well. I'll let it go for now... Witness, please continue your testimony.
    Macintosh: With pleasure... By the way Mr. Wright, no refunds!
  • The judge getting chloroformed twice. Context: When all seems hopeless, Hawk decides to help Wright out by asking if there's any evidence that he has yet to show to the court. Wright presents the medicine bottle that he found in Macintosh's office and Hawk asks the judge to have a whiff of it. He does so and passes out for a second. After he's regained consciousness, Hawk presents his own evidence: the helmet that caused Maya to faint after putting it on earlier. He then asks the judge to try it on, which leads to him fainting again.
    Judge: (puts on the helmet) Down I go. (faints)
