History ShoutOut / AceAttorney

These ShoutOuts range from Phoenix telling Franziska "[[WellExcuseMePrincess Well, excuuuuse me princess!]]", to a security system named [[ThreeHundred "S.P.A.R.D.A"]], to a clown who sings the intro of FreshPrinceOfBelair.

** And in case you're wondering why the o is shorter in the version proposed by Maya, "Naruhodo"(short O) means literally means "I understand/ I say" in Japanese and is Phoenix' nickname in the japanese version.

* At one point, it even gives a weird internal shout-out by Maya suggesting Phoenix spice his name up by calling himself "Naruhodo A. Wrighto". "Ryuuichi Naruhodou" is Phoenix's name in the Japanese versions of the games.

* '''Maya''': I guess Glen Elg is just like every other man with his own [[CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNightpile of secrets.]]

'''Please, if you are writing an example, try not to be as specific as possible. Being vague about it is something we should avoid. Also, we should try to keep this page this page as organized as possible.'''

'''* General'''

'''* Phoenix Saga'''


* ''Trials and Tribulations'', in particular, boasts many:
--->'''Judge''': "I-I'm a spoon!? I'm no [[FinalFantasyIV spoony]] [[SpoonyBard bard]], I'll have you know!"\\
'''Godot''': "As they say... [[MetalGearSolid 'A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal!']]"\\
'''Mia''': "(Well, we know whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...)"\\
'''Judge''': "[...] Well, well... That's quite... [[StarWars impressive. most impressive]]..."\\
'''Phoenix''': "Her testimony has more plot holes than that movie ''[[TheMatrix The Grid: Revelations]]''!"\\
'''Godot''': "[[DwayneJohnson Know your role, and shut your mouth.]]"\\
'''Luke Atmey''': "Not surprising... some people spend their entire lives [[WaitingForGodot idly waiting for his [Godot's] appearance."]]\\
'''Edgeworth''': I detest talk of supernatural drivel. I suppose now you'll say she has [[StarWars midi-chlorians?]]\\
'''Luke Atmey''': "Shall we say the figurative [[MontyPython Sir William will be dropping his trousers before lunchtime?]]"

* ''Trials and Tribulations'' manages to get in ''three'' references in under a minute, assuming all topics are explored and a wrong item is presented.
--->"(She's human?! She looks more like [[GhostInTheShell a ghost in a shell]]!)"
---->"This is madness!"\\
"No, Maya. [[ThreeHundred That is]] [[ThisIsSPARTA SPARDA]]."
--->"I guess [[spoiler:Mr. Elg]] [[{{Castlevania}} is like every other man with his own pile of secrets.]]

'''* Edgeworth Saga'''


'''* Justice Saga'''

'''* Unorganized'''


* ''Apollo Justice'' has at least two ''ThePrincessBride'' references:

* There's a reference to the Police song ''Roxanne'' in the same room.
** Gavin's song ''Atroquinine, My Love'' might be a reference to the Jethro Tull song ''Aqualung'' (which includes the line "Aqualung, my friend" quite a few times).
** More from Apollo:
----> '''Apollo''': ([[DireStraits I should have learned to play the guitar.]])
** Klavier's phrase, "Achtung, baby!" is most likely reference to [[U2 U2's]] hit album in the 90's, Achtung Baby.

* ''Justice For All'' has a memorable, if not, [[{{Narm}} narmful]] line in the final case:
--->'''Phoenix''': "Adrian Andrews! [[{{Pokemon}} I choose you!]]

** Also in JFA Phoenix mentions heading straight for the [[TopGun "highway to the danger zone"]]
*** Let's not forget the UnreadablyFastText infamous [[FreshPrinceOfBelAir Fresh Prince]] reference....
---->''"In West Clownidelphia, born and raised. In the Circus was where I spent most of my days."''
*** Or the [[LordOfTheRings "It's a treasure. My treasure... Preciiiious..." line...]]
*** [[TheATeam In 1972, a crack clown team was sent to prison for a crime they did not commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security clown car...]] (more Unreadably Fast Text.)
*** [[WellExcuseMePrincess Well excuuuuuuse me,]] [[TheLegendOfZelda princess!]]
* Lawrence "Moe" Curls, professional [[TheThreeStooges Stooge]].
---> '''Judge''': ''"Mr. Curls, are you reciting [[TheATeam The C-Team]] theme just to anger this court?''
* During the same case:
---> '''Phoenix''': ([[DaysOfOurLives Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of the Circus...]])
* At one point in the first game, Ema, trying to encourage you, says [[MontyPython "It's just a flesh wound!"]]
--->'''Mia (of Cody)''': [[StarWars That boy is our last hope!]]
* In Trials and Tribulations:
---> '''Viola''': [[TheGodfather He had to pay compensation... He was made an offer... He simply... couldn't... refuse.]]

* "How about flowers made of metal?" "What, like a magnolia made of steel?" (AJ, Case 3)
* Maya: "Hey Pearls, did I ever tell you about how [[AmericanPie this one time, at Lawyer Camp,]] Nick..."

* One more from ''Justice For All'', in the final case:
----> '''Phoenix''': [[ScoobyDoo Zoinks! It's the alien]]!
** The Judge in T&T: "Ruh-Roh!"
* In ''Justice For All'', Phoenix is asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. He responded he wanted to be like [[ThePeoplesCourt "Judge Wackner and the Public's Court."]]
* Maya in response to Trilo's (a ventriloquist's dummy) goals:
---->"[[{{YTMND}} You're the man now, doll!]]"
** It may also be a reference to the film ''Finding Forrester'' and/or [[MemeticMutation the website the line inspired]].
* Phoenix: [[StarTrekTheOriginalSeries "Dangnabit Maya, I'm a lawyer not a botonist."]]
* The final case of the first game, where the crucial piece of evidence is a handprint on a piece of brown leather... "Hey, I think I've [[{{Myst}} seen that on a shirt, before.]]"
* Phoenix thinks this line during the 2nd case of ''Trials and Tribulations'':
--->''"A [[RenAndStimpy muddy mudskipper in outer space]] has a better chance of surviving than I do!"''
* Pheonix, on [[spoiler:why Cody deleted photos of the Steel Samurai defeated]]: ''[[AFewGoodMen "He couldn't handle the the truth!"]]''
* Gumshoe: "It's go time, baby! I'm on fire! [+ [[CSIMiami YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!]]+ ]"
* Jean Armstrong, to the judge: "[[BryanAdams Everything I do, I do it for you!]]"
* Not sure if this counts, but after [[spoiler: Furio Tigre]] is convicted in 3-3, the Judge has this to say: "Wright, you caught a tiger by his toe, but if this one hollers, he won't be let go."
* Yet another from the third game:
---> '''Phoenix''': (A spirit medium afraid of ghosts...? [[AlanisMorissette Isn't it ironic, don't you think?]])
* And Gumshoe's song in the same case sounds like "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley & The Wailers, only with altered lyrics.
* Case 3 of ''Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney'':
---> '''Apollo''': "[[spoiler:Valant Gramarye]]! (Using the door like an average [[HarryPotter muggle]], no less.)"
* And then the judge in the same case:
---> '''Judge''': "With a great accusation [[SpiderMan comes great responsibility]]!"
* In the first game, the [[ShowWithinAShow Steel Samurai]]'s motto was "[[ZeroWing For great justice!]]"
* Case 4 of ''Justice for All'':
---> '''Oldbag''': [[LordOfTheRings You shall not pass!]]
* Case 1-4 states [[{{Devo}} someone should whip that Butz into shape.]] Don't worry, ItMakesSenseInContext.

* In 3-5, when you examine the bell tower at the beginning, an exchange with Maya gives you
---> Maya: ...[[TheHollywoodSquares I'll take money for the win.]]

* At one point, it even gives a weird internal shout-out by Maya suggesting Phoenix spice his name up by calling himself "Naruhodo A. Wrighto". "Ryuuichi Naruhodou" is Phoenix's name in the Japanese versions of the games.

* Capcom also does a shout-out to its ''less''-known survival horror series, ''DinoCrisis''. The first [=DC=] game took place on Ibis Island in "The Republic of Borginia." Two key characters in ''Apollo Justice'' are from the Borginian Republic, suggesting a very bizarre intercontinuity canon.
* Godot. His real name is Diego Armando. Take a wild guess as of why.[[hottip:*:Maradona.]]
* In ''Justice for All'''s third case Regina Berry's staff/wand looks strikingly similar to a certain [[CardCaptorSakura cardcaptor's]].
* In the fourth case in Apollo Justice, one of the paintings features a [[{{JamesAndTheGiantPeach}} giant peach flowing in water.]]
* The footage from the "Steel Samurai" show in the first game bears more than a passing resemblance to the opening cutscene of the original ''NinjaGaiden'' game.
* [[SherlockHolmes "It's elementary, my dear"]]

* There is also an instance where Maya shouts "You're the man now, Doll!" in reference to the film ''Finding Forrester'' and/or [[MemeticMutation the website the line inspired]].

'''Please, if you are writing an example, try not to be vague about it. Also, we should try to keep this page this page as organized as possible.'''

* [[Game/MegaMan Who is that defender of justice fully dressed in blue who appears in one of Capcom's flagship series with his Proto brother?]] The Blue Badger, of course!

* The plant named Charley in Phoenix's office is likely a shout out to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_the_plant Chuck the plant]], a mascot/RunningGag in LucasArts adventure games.
