-->'''Athena:''' A-An orca is the suspect? Our client is an orca?! [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Is this for real?!]]

-->'''Sasha:''' Did I forget to mention that? [[{{Understatement}} Oopsie.]]\\
'''Phoenix:''' (That's a '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis REALLY. BIG. OOPSIE.]]''')

* A lot of the bickering and internal snark between Phoenix and Edgeworth, which boils down to NoYou-type arguments with the tone of IShallTauntYou and come off as ''very'' childish. Two ''grown men'' with highly respected jobs ''well in their mid-30s'', conducting the legal equivalent of ''schoolyard bickering''.

-->'''Phoenix:''' Where do you think you're going?!\\

** Phoenix halting Fulbright by giving his "HOLD IT!" shout, complete with the shouting bubble.

** There's something even more amusing in the fact that ''every single one'' of those people has heard Phoenix utter a completely barmy theory from out of ''God knows where'', yet they act like this is the first time any of them have heard Phoenix's more bizarre ideas or explanations.

** And if you play close attention to his breakdown you will notice the stars from his outfit flying off. Pay even closer attention, and you will notice that a few of them are [[ShoutOut Power Stars]] from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros''.

** Plus, the way Means used it to his advantage. He clearly knows he's a boring professor, and runs with it to make an alibi!

* Robin Newman's UnsettlingGenderReveal. The fact that it elicited a huge shock from Blackquill, of all people, is what makes the whole event hilarious.

* Fulbright tazes Simon. ''Twice, even''. Though after later reveals, [[FunnyAneurysmMoment it stops being funny]].

-->'''Phoenix:''' (The way she makes it sound, you'd think that Apollo was some kind of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology ancient]] [[IfOnlyYouKnew god]]... [[NamesTheSame Oh,]] [[MeaningfulName wait...]])

---->'''Phoenix:''' I think I will do just that! Get ready, because the Hope Capsule is about to seal your... ''[suddenly realizes that the Hope Capsule was destroyed]'' ............F...[[AtomicFBomb Fuuuuuuuuuuuu]][[LastSecondWordSwap dge!]]

* Hell, all of the day 1 trial is pretty much this, given that it's [[UpToEleven weird even by the standards of the series.]] The way it ends really takes the cake, though: ''everyone'' confesses. Yes, both witnesses, and your client. The Judge has to suspend proceedings for a day simply because he has no idea what's going on anymore.

* When Phoenix calls Ponco to the stand, the Judge has doubts about a robot testifying, but Edgeworth points out that Phoenix has extracted testimony from all number of crazy witnesses[[note]]That is to say, [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney parrots]], [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll puppets, assassins via walkie-talkie]], [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations ghosts]], and earlier in this game, whales[[/note]].

* The RunningGag that Edgeworth cannot get witnesses to state their name and occupation returns, when the space center's robot takes the stand and cannot understand his question.

* Little Sniper the Penguin playing with Dr. Crab's hair is pretty hilarious, because it gets him annoyed while trying to catch the little penguin. At one time in the witness stand, little Sniper is seen playing with Dr. Crab's stethoscope by placing it on his forehead to check for a heartbeat, then pulling it for a quick check before placing it back on the forehead again. Pretty funny and cute at the same time.

'''Widget:''' Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's the smartest one of all? Widget!\\

* Phoenix rather predictably cross-examining Orla is funny on it's own, but pressing her statements brings on some entertaining conversations, particularly: "Ms. Shipley! I'm afraid 'fweet fweet fweet' is ''not'' going to get us anywhere!" The fact that when pressing Orla's first statement Phoenix probably didn't say "fweet fweet fweet" but did his best orca impression is ''hilarious'' on its own. Pressing the second one has Simon threaten the defense with forty lashes with a wet fish, to which Phoenix says that he knows from experience that anything is better than forty lashes with a whip. Phoenix also takes cross-examining Orla as seriously, if not more than, his other witnesses, as does the Judge, while Simon is busy thinking that he's OnlySaneMan in the courtroom and that he's been SurroundedByIdiots.

-->'''Sasha:''' Did I forget to mention that? [[{{Understatement}} Oopsie]].\\

-->'''Judge:''' That item proves [[spoiler:the singing trick]] was faked?\\

* If you ask Athena for clues early on the second investigation day after [[spoiler:Sasha's arrest]], Athena expresses anger at Blackquill's trickery, while Phoenix keeps his cool and suggests continuing the investigation, leading to this conversation:

* Hell, all of the day 1 trial is pretty much this, given that it's [[UpToEleven weird even by the standards of the series.]] The way it ends really takes the cake, though: [[spoiler: ''everyone'' confesses. Yes, both witnesses, and your client.]] The Judge has to suspend proceedings for a day simply because he has no idea what's going on anymore.

* When Athena tries to [[spoiler: make it clear that Prof. Courte's body was disguised as the Wright statue only to realize she's missing the arrow for the "Objection!"-pose]]...

** After you reveal [[spoiler: Cosmos's lie that he was the third person,]] he starts spinning again...which leads to a panned out shot of the entire courtroom, in which he's STILL spinning!

** And if you play close attention to his breakdown you will notice [[spoiler: the stars from his outfit flying off. Pay even closer attention, and you will notice that a few of them are [[ShoutOut Power Stars]] from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'']].
** When he tells the court that [[spoiler: the bullet hit him]], the Judge, being [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} his usual self]], asks if that means Cosmos is a ghost. Blackquill takes this opportunity to be a {{Troll}} and say yes, he is, causing the Judge to freak out.

* Case 4's VillainousBreakdown [[spoiler:(minus the villainous part) has Yuri Cosmos lose control of his segway, speeding off in many directions, until leaving the courtroom by ''crashing through the courtroom doors, leaving behind an ImpactSilhouette.'']]
** Which is immediately followed by the Judge telling the bailiff to get on his steed and follow him. Which ''probably'' means just telling the bailiff to go get [[spoiler:Cosmos]], but brings to mind an image of someone chasing him down on horseback down the courthouse halls. Mike Meekins being the someone in question makes it funnier, if you consider that the last time we saw him, he was a bailiff.

* The RunningGag that Edgeworth cannot get witnesses to state their name and occupation returns, when [[spoiler:the space center's robot takes the stand and cannot understand his question.]]

* There's an intensely black piece of humor [[spoiler:around the part Fulbright insists his family's been captured and he's an undercover agent]]. Looking terrified, he testifies that he's afraid of [[spoiler:the phantom]] because he took his family hostage. Pressing leads Phoenix to ask what members of his family were taken specifically, at which [[spoiler:Fulbright]] looks inconvenienced and says "Oh, I don't know...like...maybe my lover, for example?" before leading into a series of even more BlatantLies.
** [[spoiler:Him messing up which emotion to feel at each time is also darkly hilarious. Screaming about how he's so pissed while he's got an overjoyed face on, or saying he's terrified while shaking his fist at you, all revealing his grasp on emotions is tenuous, at the very least]].
** There's also Phoenix's reaction when [[spoiler:the phantom reveals yet another mask: one of ''Phoenix Wright himself'']]:

** Or the moment when [[spoiler: the mask is first revealed]] and [[spoiler:the phantom]] yells '''Objection!''' in [[spoiler: Phoenix's voice. Apollo asks if Phoenix just objected to himself]].
*** When [[spoiler:the phantom asks Phoenix to bring in the moon rock from the Hope Capsule to reveal his identity, we get this tidbit]]:
---->[[spoiler:'''Phoenix:''' I think I will do just that! Get ready, because the Hope Capsule is about to seal your... ''[suddenly realizes that the Hope Capsule was destroyed]'' ............F...[[AtomicFBomb Fuuuuuuuuuuuu]][[LastSecondWordSwap dge!]]]]
** While [[spoiler:Fulbright]] is accused of feeling fear because of [[spoiler:failing to steal the moon rock]], this logic is questioned by [[spoiler:Apollo]] and [[spoiler:Blackquill]].

* [[spoiler: Fulbright, in the process of being revealed as the phantom,]] tinkers with his watch, releases a grappling hook and begins zipping up towards the ceiling.

[[spoiler:'''Fulbright:''']] ''[returns]'' Me? I'm not going anywhere.

** When seeing some of [[spoiler:the phantom's gadgets]], Phoenix mentally asks, WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys

** Phoenix halting [[spoiler:Fulbright]] by giving his "HOLD IT!" shout, complete with the shouting bubble.
** Earlier on when he takes the stand [[spoiler: even though by this point him being the phantom has already been brought up, he still arrives in his usual jovial self and upbeat theme]] causing the defense attorneys to immediately object to him.
* In the final moments, when [[spoiler:Athena goes back to the defense stand...squishing Apollo]]. The fact that [[spoiler:Phoenix gets two side-kicks onscreen AT THE SAME TIME in court]] for the first time ever in the series is surprising by itself. But when you show it [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qncETaC0Uc#t=15m38s with this moment (at timecode 15:38)]]]], it becomes downright hilarious!
** And when [[spoiler:Athena climbs over and joins the others behind the stand]], Phoenix worries that they'll be held in contempt of court. It's even funnier if one remembers the first game and how Phoenix nearly was held in contempt for something considerably less ridiculous than that!
** A little while later, [[spoiler:while they are both still standing next to Phoenix on the bench. When the phantom thinks he has them beaten, Phoenix objects when everything seems lost. This makes them both make their "WTF" expressions.]] It's a hilarious image.
* While [[spoiler:Aura sadly talking about losing Metis is very sad]], the follow-up on [[spoiler:the ''very'' heavy implication that she had a bad case of unrequited love for her co-worker]] has a funny moment:
--> '''Aura:''' Shut up, Simon! You know exactly [[spoiler:how I felt about her! Her respect as a co-worker wasn't all that I wanted]]!\\
'''Judge:''' What did [[spoiler:you want from her]]?\\

'''Edgeworth:''' OBJECTION! No, [[spoiler: Ms. Blackquill]] has proper grounds for her claims.\\

* [[spoiler:Simon is at the Wright Anything Agency, looking for someone to defend Aura in court, and complaining that there's nobody around and he's been kept waiting forever. He chats with someone else, who wants to hire Athena to defend their father. Simon smirks and says he plans to prosecute the trial]].

'''Athena:''' Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's because Mr. Wright likes his statue! He's positively tickled ''pink''! Get it, Apollo? He's tickled pink!
-->'''Apollo:''' Blah, that joke deserves a ''pink'' slip.

-->'''Phoenix:''' (The way she makes it sound, you'd think that Apollo was some kind of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology ancient]] [[IfOnlyYouKnew god]]...)\\
'''Phoenix:''' ([[NamesTheSame Oh,]] [[MeaningfulName wait...]])
