''Dumb Lawyer Quotes IRL But In Ace Attorney'' is a [=YouTube=] video series by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZxiJtxhZGyszdDVJAl0Ceg Chessette.]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Like the title implies]], it involves hilariously stupid exchanges in real court cases being re-enacted by ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' characters.

The series has a total of eight installments.

!The series contains examples of:

*AccidentalMisnaming: One lawyer calls a witness named Powers, played by Furio Tigre, "Mr. Penis."
*AFoolForAClient: The start of Part 4 involves the incident in which Denver Fenton Allen tried to fire his attorney for supposedly extorting sexual favors from him
*AmoralAttorney: In Part 7, Phoenix lampshades this trope.
-->'''Phoenix''': The defendant said that prior to the occurrence of this offense, he hoped to attend medical school and become a physician. However, he believes with a felony conviction, he cannot achieve this goal. He is now considering becoming a lawyer.
*ArtifactTitle: In many of the early videos, the lawyers were the only ones saying stupid things, but as the series went on, the witnesses started giving stupid answers, too.
*AskAStupidQuestion: Much of Part 2 consisted of lawyers asking their clients stupid questions, including ones that made it clear the lawyer already knew the answer.
-->'''Apollo''': Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
*BluntYes: Near the end of Part 4, the Caretaker/[[spoiler:Yanni Yogi]] does this when admitting that he didn't know that he'd go to prison for what he did.
-->'''Judge''': In other words, you would commit those crimes if it was a misdemeanor, but not if it's a felony?\\
'''Caretaker''': ..... Yes.
*DamnedByFaintPraise: In Part 7, Phoenix lists his client's transgressions, then says, "On the positive side... he has a certificate for exemplary umpire duties in the softball league."
*DeadpanSnarker: Many of the witnesses have their moents, especially when asked stupid questions.
-->'''Gregory''': ''(on why he knows the autopsy patient is dead)'' Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.\\
'''Apollo''': I see, but could the patient have been alive, nevertheless?\\
'''Gregory''': Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
*DidYouDie: The very first shown exchange has Phoenix ask Larry if a man who threatened to kill him actually went through with it.
*DisproportionateRetribution: Two examples in Part 4, which was partly based on the Denver Fenton Allen case.
** At the start of Part 4, Edgeworth is determined to put Phoenix away for the rest of his life for saying stupid stuff in court.[[note]]In Denver Fenton Allen's case, which the first part of the video is based off of, Allen was charged and later convicted for murdering his cellmate, making a life sentence more reasonable[[/note]]
** After Phoenix caps off a string of expletives with a YourMom comment, the Judge gives him 10 years in prison for contempt of court.
*EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
**The first installment had no ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' music or voice clips.
**The first two installments mainly focused on brief exchanges between lawyers and witnesses, often only a few lines long. In later installments, there would be longer exchanges, some lasting a few minutes.
**The first two installments don't show the specific cases the quotes came from. Later installments show the sources at the start of the sections or in the "chapter" titles.
*LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Unlike the other videos, which use the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' beeps and boops, the final installment is fully voiced.
*MathematiciansAnswer:
-->'''Armando''': What was the condition of the body when the autopsy was performed?\\
'''Turner''': He was dead.
*MoodWhiplash: Part 6 has a lengthy discussion over how much Larry ate for dinner, then...
-->'''Court Transcript''': The house was then besieged by forty to fifty officers. Between 300 and 500 rounds of ammunition were expended. Eventually, twenty-six rounds of tear gas ammunition were also fired.
*StealthInsult: Klavier gives one to Phoenix in Part 2.
-->'''Phoenix''': Now doctor, I'm sure you are an intelligent and honest man.\\
'''Klavier''': Thank you. If I weren't [[WillNotTellALie under oath]], I'd return the compliment.
