| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) | comment |
Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! is a series of Let's Play videos by SaveDataTeam on Twitch and YouTube. One of many Let’s Plays, playthroughs, or reactions videos of the Ace Attorney franchise where the main selling point is the presence of a real lawyer to offer feedback on the (lack of) legal realism in the series, this series aims to cover as many games in the series as possible, and as such it has run for long enough to develop its fair share of Running Gags and in-jokes among its dedicated community to distinguish itself. There is an additional segment prefacing some videos in which the lawyer reads a question from a state bar examinationnote initially limited to the state of Ohio before branching out to include questions from other states’ bar exams and the rest of the team tries to answer it, crafting a sort of lore for the fictional Cloudcuckooland of Anytown that most of the questions’ hypothetical scenarios are set in.The members of SaveDataTeam that star in the series are Zak (the host and founder of the team, editor for the YouTube uploads, and character voice for Phoenix, Apollo, Furio Tigre, Terry Fawles, the Judge’s Canadian brother, Ryunosuke, Rei Membami, and Raiten Menimemo), Wes (voice actor, provides most of the other character voices) and Prij (the titular actual lawyer, character voice for Bruce Goodman, Pearl Fey, Trucy Wright, Athena Cykes, and Iris Wilson), all playing off of each other and discussing various—often nerdy—topics between them while playing the games, from Yu-Gi-Oh! to Kingdom Hearts to Metal Gear.The playthrough for the first game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney can be found here.The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All videos can be found here.The videos for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations can be found here.The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney playthrough can be found here.The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles can be viewed here.The bar exam questions can be found here.Spoilers for the games are unmarked! | |

Evil Sounds Deep | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_16364a29 | comment |
Reunion, and Turnabout has the team imagining that Phoenix goes, “Chains of Justice!� whenever he uses the magatama to view Psyche-Locks. Prij also figures that Manfred von Karma screams, “Objection!� in his signature Evil Sounds Deep voice whenever he zaps someone with his stun guns during his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Phoenix after busting out of prison. | |

Frothy Mugs of Water | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_17c7c925 | comment |
Frothy Mugs of Water: Rather than being alcohol censored into something nonalcoholic, the team decides that the bottles Jake Marshall drinks out of and decorates his office with are actually alcohol bottles that have been emptied of their alcoholic contents and refilled with apple juice, or “appy juice� as he calls it. Subverted in the “Herbal Concoction� question, where Bob borrows money from his sister to invest in the titular herbal concoction to sell to his classmates. It doesn’t take long for the question to confirm that Bob was knowingly trying to sell an illegal drug and withheld that information from Carol. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: Prij’s assessment of Edgeworth’s Kick the Dog moment against Adrian is that being a Jerkass and attacking the witness (even his own witness) on sensitive matters to impeach their credibility is sadly a realistic example of the actions criminal prosecutors have to take as part of their job, and the main reason it would be inadmissible in court is not because of bad ethical or moral standards on his part, but because the specific attacks Edgeworth made on her were more in service of introducing undue prejudice against her to pressure her into giving the testimony he wants than in proving her character as an Unreliable Expositornote Though his case could hypothetically be strengthened if he was able to tie her codependency to Franziska’s witness coaching. | |

Related in the Adaptation: For a given definition of adaptation, Wes decides that the Pot Smokers for Peter in one question are perhaps cousins of Adam Arsonist and Flame from another question. In Farewell, My Turnabout, they suggest that Wendy Oldbag is a descendant of Barok Van Zieks (and inherited his racism) and Adrian Andrews is a descendant of Herlock Sholmes. | |

Unwanted Assistance | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_24b88e85 | comment |
Unwanted Assistance: The protections of Good Samaritan statutes are discussed in "Alligator Tony!" where Vera's leg is permanently disabled because the instructions Tony was following when trying to treat her injury were communicated unclearly. It’s explained that you don’t have any legal obligation to help someone in danger (barring a relationship that makes you responsible for them like a parent to their child), but if you do decide to be a Heroic Bystander, you accept the responsibility of not leaving them worse off than before you got involved, lest your incompetent aid make things worse. The common scenarios the statute was implemented in mind with are more akin to breaking a rib while performing the Heimlich maneuver rather than the question’s example of impromptu surgery after tripping over an alligator. | |

Persona Non Grata: As of Justice For All, Prij’s headcanon is that the Judge got banned from Chile’s because he got too hammered on margheritas, which is why he switched to Applebee’s for happy hour. When Maya says she’s going to resume her training at the end of Bridge to the Turnabout, Sister Bikini informs the Wright & Co. team that they’re all permanently banned from Hazakura Temple because she lost out on a lot of business due to the murder case and subsequent police investigation that their arrival brought about. | |

He also makes a joke about how this typecasting should belong to Chris, a joke he feels comfortably certain Chris would have made himself. | |

Wholesome Crossdresser: In the fifth bar exam question, Peter’s fake Facebook profile for his teacher Curt Cook makes a bunch of embarrassing claims about him. While the team laughs at most of the "getting to know me" answers that are intended to be humiliating at Curt Cook’s expense, they express the opinion that the part about his ideal evening being to put on a dress & high heels and whip up a gourmet meal is a perfectly acceptable hobby and call Peter out on kinkshaming. The team themselves don Cat Meido outfits at the beginning of Justice For All after meeting a stream donation goal. Another donation goal being met results in them donning Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplay, with Zak as the Dark Magician Girl. | |

Worf Had the Flu: For the “If We Would Win in a Fight� Tier List: Downplayed with Acro, whose paraplegia is deemed not enough of a drawback to keep his immense upper body strength from winning him the fight. He’s ultimately placed in the “Tough Fight (but I lose)� category. Prij notes that Diego Armando would kill them handily, but as Godot his muscles have atrophied from being in a coma for years and his visor is essentially a video game weak point, moving him from the “I died :[� tier to the “Tough Fight (but I win)� tier. | |

Vocal Evolution: The voice that Wes uses for the Judge is a bit different in earlier videos, being deeper and more serious, but starts to resemble the one he uses for Wendy Oldbag later on, becoming higher pitched and sillier. The shift kicks in around Turnabout Goodbyes, when von Karma’s intimidation causes the Judge to raise his pitch, and it stays there even after von Karma is gone. | |

Lethal Chef: Wife in “Marital Disputes� first tries to murder her Husband by preparing him a steak dinner with a lethal quantity of rat poison in the marinade, but he refused to eat it because she overcooked it, making her a lethal chef in both senses of the word. | |

Stalker Shrine | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_372027ea | comment |
Stalker Shrine: After the team points out the implications of the narrative convenience in Spark Brushel just happening to have a picture of Thalassa Gramarye, they jokingly exaggerate it into an obsession that goes as far as Brushel having turned his house into the equivalent of the infamous Church of Maizono but dedicated to massive cardboard cutouts of Thalassa. | |

Vocal Dissonance | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_3a88a563 | comment |
Vocal Dissonance: From The Great Ace Attorney onwards, Wes has taken to giving an unusually deep voice to someone in the court audience who is indicated to be a child brought there by his mother. Near the end of Turnabout Big Top, the community has decided that this child is Michael Pencil, a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of former United States Vice President Mike Pence. Starting from Farewell, My Turnabout, if a line of dialogue has an unnamed speaker, Wes uses a Swedish accent… even if he knows perfectly well who the speaker is. | |

| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Some bar exam questions allude to a bizarre background that gets little to no elaboration, such as the lawsuits Alex had A Fool for a Client to represent before Carol consults him in “Herbal Concoction�, why Husband’s family despises him (since Wife doesn’t seem to be aware of his Mistress until after Stranger kills her) in “Everybody Hates Husband�, the nature of the high school rivalry that led to “Escalating Bar Fight�, and why Cook in “A Bad Hair Day� hates Barber. | |

Skewed Priorities: Phoenix and Edgeworth derail Lana’s trial to have a wedding ceremony, which Ema is uninvited to. Their only concern about Lana is that her plea bargain means she won’t be executed, so she doesn’t have to ruin the mood by dying on their wedding day. When Kristoph approaches Klavier the night before the Gramarye trial, he’s so put off by the gaudy rockstar outfit Klavier will be wearing to court that he spends more time than necessary warning him not to wear it compared to his initial intent to warn of the change of defense attorneys and forged evidence. | |

Apparently, he stuck around as far as the last case of the trilogy, even jumping into Eagle River after Phoenix fell off Dusky Bridge in Bridge to the Turnabout. | |

Crack Pairing: Invoked with the Galottica MaxHart ship (pairing of Lotta Hart with Maximillion Galactica from Turnabout Big Top), which comes about as a joke based on the both of them using made up Southern phrases, but the community’s fanart of the pairing is adorable enough to make the team begin shipping them unironically. They also hate that the pairing gives them positive feelings about two characters that they otherwise loathe entirely. | |

Rather tellingly, he commends Nezumi on how quickly she acclimates to making “dunk on Zak at all times� jokes when she joins the cast and says she’s going to fit right in.

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The earliest episodes end with Zak saying, “I plead the Fifth!� to close off. Later episodes would have him say, “Court is adjourned,� instead as a closing catchphrase. At the beginning of the series, Prij makes the effort to dress professionally and look the part of an actual lawyer. As the series goes on, the rising temperatures and increasing length of the streams lead to him dressing more and more casually. For that matter, his commentary is initially more focused on pointing out the legal inaccuracies in the story, but since there’s such an abundance of artistic liberties taken throughout the franchise that pointing them out each time they appear would be redundant, he doesn’t call it out as frequently later on, mostly saving the complaints for especially funny and/or egregious moments. The first episode to have a bar exam question omits the answer in the YouTube upload. Subsequent uploads would include Zak and Wes attempting to answer the question and Prij giving the answer afterwards. | |

Mistaken for Misogynist: A weird meta-example. When Madame Tusspells is introduced, one of the viewers types, "I don't like girls but she's cool" in the live chat. The commenter meant that he is gay, but the Twitch AutoMod flagged this under Misogyny, much to the team’s amusement. | |

The team takes it seriously when the chat warns them that Edgeworth is about to do something that necessitates a content warning, and from the moment it happens until the end of that day of trial they noticeably crack jokes much less frequently (and the YouTube upload containing it has fewer silly edits) in order to treat the subject matter with due gravitas. | |

Whenever Zak makes a joke that doesn't quite land (e.g. Dick Jumshoe), Wes is quick to rally the viewers into giving him Fs in the chat. This happens often enough that he is nicknamed Fak on occasion. Dick Jumshoe in particular is a Once Done, Never Forgotten joke that they refuse to let him live down. Rather tellingly, he commends Nezumi on how quickly she acclimates to making “dunk on Zak at all times� jokes when she joins the cast and says she’s going to fit right in. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: The real life legal ramifications of this trope are examined in “Lucky’s Unlucky Week�. Lucky didn’t see the Buster Special snowball coming at him on the first day so assault (the apprehension of harmful contact) is not applicable to Buster, but he can still be charged with battery (the harmful contact itself) in that incident. By contrast, Buster announcing that he was going to throw another Buster Special on the third day makes him guilty of assault, but not battery since he didn’t actually throw it that time, though he is still liable for the injury Lucky sustained when reacting to the assault. Reunion, and Turnabout has the team imagining that Phoenix goes, “Chains of Justice!� whenever he uses the magatama to view Psyche-Locks. Prij also figures that Manfred von Karma screams, “Objection!� in his signature Evil Sounds Deep voice whenever he zaps someone with his stun guns during his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Phoenix after busting out of prison. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: In general, any character who they joke is an Eldritch Abomination is treated as this and subsequently tends to get ranked in the “I died :[“ tier during the “If We Would Win in a Fight� stream. Luke Atmey’s status as being everyone at once lands him in the “Stalemate� tier due to every fight he's in being a Mirror Match by default. Winston Payne downplays this, as while his vampire powers prevent him from dying and elevate him from the “I Kill This Fool :]� tier, he still doesn’t get into any of the winning tiers because he’s too much of an incel to be an effective fighter (and the likelihood of Prij having garlic breath to use against him due to his diet of Italian food). Mike Meekins, while still the incompetent loser he is in canon, somehow got turned into an almighty Humanoid Abomination who is an Ultra Instinct assassin, and a part-time theoretical physicist whose “Warp Theory� allows him to open portals to the blood dimension, giving him the means to bring people Back from the Dead and an inexhaustible source of ammunition to bloodbend with. But he still can’t get laid. | |

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Pearl is depicted as displaying these whenever it’s suggested that she’s the culprit behind a murder. The trope is also discussed, with Prij bringing up that courts presume a child under a certain age is mentally incapable of the requisite thought to be truly held accountable for murder, but if the same child does it enough times then there’s a solid case to be made that said child does understand what murder is and should be held responsible for it. Regina Berry acting so blasé about the murder of her father disturbs Zak to no end, and he considers her a “weird, shitty daughter� who he hopes is the killer in Turnabout Big Top. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Many bar exam questions ask about what torts and charges could be brought to a defendant and what defenses they can assert in response, and some of the lists compiled include a hefty crime alongside something comparatively minor. For example, Homeowner in “Making a Backyard Pond with Explosives� is liable for every charge his neighbors sue him for, from the fist-sized rock that lacerated Nathan’s head to Esther tripping over the box he hid in her bushes. | |

That last one is not enough of a weakness to keep von Karma out of the “I died :[� tier because the team deems his stun gun and capacity for homicide are dangerous enough for them to not survive getting close enough to hit the weak point. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Prij is incredulous that the “Herbal Concoction� bar exam question makes a point of bringing up that Bob is dating three women and giving names to all of them, only for two of them to never be mentioned again and only one girlfriend going on to be relevant to the question. Sometimes bar exam questions will introduce a particularly bizarre plot element that is only briefly mentioned and then falls by the wayside. For example, we never find out what happened to the dangerous patient missing from the hospital’s psychiatric unit that Lucky is misidentified as in “Lucky’s Unlucky Week�, nor do we learn if the alligators in “Aligator Tony!� are ever recaptured. | |

Eldritch Abomination: Plenty of jokes are made claiming that various characters are horrific creatures of the apocalypse. The list includes Polly the Parrot, Mr. Monkee, the Blue Badger, Mystic Ami’s soul, and Mike Meekins. They later decide that all birds in the series are such eldritch entities, with Acro’s birds being servants of Polly who compelled him to commit murder. By the time Luke Atmey is given time traveling powers to invoke Hijacked by Ganon in the most ridiculous ways, the team has realized that they tend to make the most foolish Joke Characters into all-powerful monstrosities, with the exception of Larry Butz. | |

Make the Dog Testify: Upon getting to Phoenix’s infamous parrot cross-examination, Prij—after a brief This Is Gonna Suck & Screw This, I'm Outta Here reaction—reveals that he did in fact look up real life examples of this trope beforehand once Polly appeared, and while he could not find reputable sources, his research allows him to explain the real life implications of this trope. Namely, parrots cannot be made to testify per se, but the sounds they make can still be used as evidence if you argue that what they say can be an exception to rules against hearsay. He also explains that the technical reason why pets cannot testify—besides the obvious fact that they are animals—is that they have no concept of distinguishing between truth and falsehood and therefore are incapable of swearing an oath to tell the truth (no matter how much Polly the Parrot claims, “Squawk! I have free will! Become as gods! Become as gods!�) | |

The blood dimension, which Mike Meekins can open portals to via his warp theory. It’s been suggested that not only can he splatter blood on people from the portals, but that he can emerge from puddles of blood and even bring Joe Darke Back from the Dead. Wendy Oldbag is added to the blood dimension lore after she uses a creepy blood rain metaphor to describe herself as a Walking Disaster Area. Prij’s closet door apparently also leads to the blood dimension. | |

Parody Episode: The Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplay stream (episodes 17 and 18 of the Justice For All YouTube uploads) begin with a parody of the Yu-Gi-Oh! 4Kids opening, followed by Zak, Wes, and Prij cosplaying as Dark Magician Girlnote with his dog Magnus having briefly worn a Millennium Puzzle collar for Yugi, Maximillion Pegasus (with a Millennium Contact Lens), and Seto Freaking Kaiba (in his Season 2 outfit) respectively, with Wes and Prij playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links in-character against each other. Then they open booster packs until Prij gets the Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon card before returning to Justice For All. The title is also changed to Ace-At-Torney! with an Actual Lawyer. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_8e92e125 | comment |
From The Great Ace Attorney onwards, Wes has taken to giving an unusually deep voice to someone in the court audience who is indicated to be a child brought there by his mother. Near the end of Turnabout Big Top, the community has decided that this child is Michael Pencil, a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of former United States Vice President Mike Pence. | |

You Keep Using That Word | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_92d7976 | comment |
You Keep Using That Word: One episode has Zak frequently misusing the word “canonically� to describe things, prompting him to keep a counter of it. Due to Zak being a bartender and Prij coming from a family of wine-drinking Italians, they both take offense to how Farewell, My Turnabout consistently refers to a piece of evidence as a wine glass, when they know from experience that the evidence in question would more accurately be described as a flute. Subverted in Bridge to the Turnabout when the team thinks the localization is wrongly referring to the tree Godot claimed to have found a bloodstained knife lodged into as a pine tree when it’s clearly not as part of the Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change. What they didn’t realize at the time of the recording is that the tree is actually a Pinus thunbergii, also known as a Japanese black pine. | |

Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: Literally, due to Prij being the titular actual lawyer. At one point, he gives a disclaimer that any of the legal knowledge he shares on the streams does not constitute any sort of attorney-client relationship between him and the viewers, so no one can sue him for bad counsel. He also sometimes breaks out of Sarcasm Mode after jokingly claiming something about the law that is obviously incorrect, just in case. | |

Eldritch Location: The blood dimension, which Mike Meekins can open portals to via his warp theory. It’s been suggested that not only can he splatter blood on people from the portals, but that he can emerge from puddles of blood and even bring Joe Darke Back from the Dead. Wendy Oldbag is added to the blood dimension lore after she uses a creepy blood rain metaphor to describe herself as a Walking Disaster Area. Prij’s closet door apparently also leads to the blood dimension. The Judge is capable of banishing people to the Shadow Realm from Yu-Gi-Oh! with his Millennium Gavel. | |

Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading: invoked Discussed by the team after learning the full context of Phoenix’s primary motivation for becoming a defense attorney being the class trial from childhood where Edgeworth stood up for him. Prij is surprised that the first game does not canonically ship Phoenix and Edgeworth and incredulous that no one on the staff apparently noticed at the time how homoerotic it comes off. While the later games make the subtext intentional Ship Tease because the developers became aware of the fan perception of Phoenix and Edgeworth as a couple, Prij still finds it hard to believe that it was not the original intent from the beginning and started as accidental gay subtext in the first game. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Some of the bar exam questions have people getting away scot-free with their crimes. Examples include Bully fatally stabbing Victim and fleeing while his friends get charged with conspiracy/complicity for his murder, Alex and Dealer scamming Carol and Bob out of money, and the Shoplifter who injured Patron and stole his car. Cook is also implied to get away with ruining Barber’s life because he legitimately believed Barber was selling illegal drugs and any libel charges that Barber pursues against Cook demand he bear the burden of proving that Cook knew it was a lie and spread it maliciously anyway. Zig-Zagged in “Flying School Inc.� While FSI and AMI will be liable for their negligence causing the injuries of Instructor and Student, they are relieved of liability for the injuries sustained by Resident whose house was crashed into because Resident’s death was the result of a homicidal Nurse deciding to euthanize him even though he would have lived, which is considered an unforeseen crime and thus a superseding action that overrides whatever the two companies did. By contrast, Student died because the ambulance crashed while rushing to the hospital, which is foreseeable and considered an intervening cause that wouldn’t have happened if FSI and AMI hadn’t been negligent. | |

Harmful to Minors: Some of the bar exam questions delve into this, with a child being endangered by a criminal. The horrors of this realistic scenario are usually overshadowed by the absurdity of the actions their parents take to protect them. It does not go unmentioned that Phoenix is being wildly irresponsible whenever he brings 8-year-old Pearl along with him into investigations involving potentially traumatic sights like dead bodies, or dangerous endeavors like the police raid on Matt Engarde’s mansion to hunt down an assassin. Prij in-character as Pearl makes sure to call out all the adults in that last example. | |

He tries to get laid, but the court has it on record that he fails at this. Taketsuchi Auchi is not just a prosecuting attorney from the Meiji era, he is a timeless incel vampire with a talk show for his rightwing political views who either cannot get laid even with his mind control powers, or is like Ben Shapiro in that he has kids but is bad at sex and exposes himself to be in public. | |

Toilet Humour | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_b41c411e | comment |
Toilet Humour: Zak tries to make a potty humor joke at the end of Turnabout Goodbyes that implies Phoenix had trouble digesting the Chili’s food they ate to celebrate Edgeworth’s acquittal, but realizes That Came Out Wrong and he gets sent to Horny Jail for what Wes and Prij assumed was a joke about anal sex. After Damon Gant makes a remark insisting that his presence in the evidence room is as innocuous as going to the bathroom, a string of jokes follow that claim Damon Gant has a habit of shitting in the evidence room and hiding his feces in the lockers. The comments Gant subsequently makes only further add credence to this headcanon. Gant also murdered Bruce Goodman in the evidence room because Goodman saw him shitting. Zak elicits a WTF? reaction from Prij and Wes when he jokes that souls enter spirit mediums through their buttholes. By The Stolen Turnabout, Phoenix’s near-obsessive compulsion to clean the office toilet is apparently justified by the fact that Maya’s Big Eater appetite means she leaves massive dumps and she never cleans up after herself. Zak hates that Wes’s wording of her bad habits implies she does not even flush the toilet after she uses it. | |

On a lighter note, Edgeworth claiming no one is perfect provokes the rage of von Karma. | |

He tries to get laid, but the court has it on record that he fails at this. | |

This is brought up again when Farewell, My Turnabout introduces Matt Engarde and Adrian Andrews, though in regards to the former, Prij admits he’s "a boring straight dude" and can only muster platonic appreciation for Matt’s design rather than outright attraction. He changes his mind upon seeing Rule 63 fanart of Matt, however. Madame Tusspells also immediately gets his attention. | |

Composite Character | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Occasionally, characters from the bar exam questions will be jokingly treated as existing Ace Attorney characters, and vice versa. For example, the homicidal Nurse from "Flying School Inc." is Mimi Miney (or possibly Agent 47 on a mission), Miles Edgeworth is the Attorney pressing charges in the Spousal Privilege question, and the Stranger that Wife hired in “Marital Disputes� is Joe Darke. Also, the Judge’s grandson (who is mentioned in the games but never appears) is Wes himself. After seeing how Taketsuchi Auchi is both a simp for Jezaille Brett and a misogynist against Susato, and therefore too much of an incel to possibly conceive children for Winston Payne to be his descendant in the present, the team decides that Auchi is an immortal incel vampire and Winston Payne is just him going by a new name. | |

A Dog Named "Dog": Many characters from bar exam questions are only identified by their role in the incidents or relation to others, e.g. Robber, Daughter, Attorney, Nurse, Resident, etc. and are not given a name besides that. | |

Joke of the Butt: The entire FNASS Running Gag revolves around jokes about an AU where the FNaF characters have thicc posteriors. | |

| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Prij figures Edgeworth is probably physically fit, but doesn’t think he seems like a particularly seasoned or natural fighter, landing him in the “Tough Fight (but I win)� tier. | |

ItsTheSameSoItSucks | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f2c56f0e | comment |
It's the Same, So It Sucks: invokedPrij’s biggest gripe with Apollo Justice as a game is how many beats of the Gramarye plotline with Trucy are retreads of the Fey plotline and Maya from the original trilogy, in particular the fact that the ripping off happened in the immediate next game after its most prominent use in Trials and Tribulations. | |

Pungeon Master: The backstory for the Punky nickname Zak made up for himself is that his parents conned a witch out of a deal they made with her to conceive him, so now he’s cursed to make at least five puns per day or he’ll die. | |

Product Placement | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: The team attempts to exploit this by reaching out to restaurant brands like Chili’s and offering to talk them up on stream for an advertisement deal, even if they personally do not enjoy the food. They also mention other products like car brands and juices. Adrian’s testimony about pouring herself a glass of juice in Juan’s room is treated as a V8 commercial where she turns to the camera and tells the audience that Juan should have had a V8 if he wanted to survive. Phoenix similarly tries to advertise the Coldkiller X medicine he’s taking in Turnabout Memories. | |

Terrible Artist | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f63e468f | comment |
Terrible Artist: One of the repeated gags is that Ema is considered one in-universe, and everyone exaggeratedly dumps on how awful a drawing she made of the SL-9 Incident. Her art is so bad that exposing it and ruining Ema’s reputation is one of the things Damon Gant blackmails Lana with to get her to help him frame Joe Darke. The team makes similar jokes roasting Maya over her poorly-made wooden box for containing Ami Fey’s urn in The Stolen Turnabout, which Phoenix does actually call pathetic in the script. | |

His Name Really Is "Barkeep": On rare occasions, the bar exam question characters will have their job in their actual name rather than simply being referred to by their job, like Adam Arsonist and home economics teacher Curt Cook. | |

Unnecessary Roughness | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f935efbf | comment |
Unnecessary Roughness: The first misfortune Lucky suffers in “Lucky’s Unlucky Week� is getting hit by a Buster Special—a snowball in which Buster had concealed a rock—during a snowball fight. Prij explains while answering the question that Lucky can sue Buster for this because while participating in the snowball fight means giving consent to getting hit with a snowball, said snowball having a rock in it goes beyond the normal accepted conduct for the activity. The comparison he makes is tackling someone while playing football vs. punching someone in the face while playing football. Wes points out that getting punched in the face does not count as unnecessary roughness if one is playing “Punch-Face Football� however. | |

Running Gag | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Plenty. Saying, “Metal Gear� at any given point. Singing Nickelback whenever someone says, “Look at this photograph!� It turns into “Look at this photographic print!� in The Great Ace Attorney since photography is so new in the Meiji era. Someone (usually Wes) being sentenced to horny jail for making a sex joke or laughing at innuendo from the localization script. Wes is also prone to making references to jokes and lines from the first three seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants. “Going out for milk and cigarettes� as a shorthand for Parental Abandonment, a recurring phenomenon in Ace Attorney. The painting in Marvin Grossberg’s office is one of Chun-Li’s ass as it appears in Fortnite. Zak getting booed by the viewers and/or receiving Fs in the chat whenever he makes a joke that is deemed to be more lame than funny, often at the encouragement of Wes. People immediately confessing to being guilty of whatever crime is relevant in Phoenix’s presence, prompting them to say some variant of “Damn it, got me again, Phoenix Wright!� This happens even if the person in question didn’t actually commit the crime (Miles admitting to killing Robert Hammond), hasn’t been accused of it yet (Manfred von Karma threatening to kill Phoenix just like he killed Gregory Edgeworth), or is only tangentially involved as a witness (Angel Starr in the murder of Bruce Goodman). It takes a weird turn when they get to Rise from the Ashes and confessing to something she hasn’t done is exactly what Lana Skye is doing canonically. It also continues with Ryunosuke Naruhodo, who does this to himself since he’s the defendant of the first two chapters, and with Phoenix himself in Turnabout Memories. Takes a hilarious turn when this is essentially how they get Furio Tigre to admit he knows what the potassium cyanide bottle looks like. Talking about chain restaurants like Chili’s in an unflattering manner, until deciding to see if they can hype up that restaurant for an advertisement deal. The Judge in particular is eager to end trials early so he can make it to Chili’s happy hour for a Margherita. In The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, they take to referring to the dining establishment that the first murder took place in as a Longhorn Steakhouse. Lotta Hart being compared to a fish, based on the spacing of her eyes in her forward-facing sprite. Bailiffs smacking peepees. Phoenix never remembering the name of the Channeling Chamber. Mike Meekins being a Humanoid Abomination with access to the blood dimension. Prij’s closet is apparently a portal to the blood dimension. Ema Skye being treated as a Terrible Artist and forcefeeding luminol to Phoenix. Boneless Panties, which Zak thought referred to panties without wires like wireless brassieres, after mishearing the words Bulma’s panties. Prij (not) stealing the Crown Jewels, Prij being owed a pizza by Zak, and Prij being an isekai protagonist. After Wes mistakenly swaps the words “eat� and “dig� in the “Dig It� rap, “eating holes� becomes a new running gag. Jesus Christ is the culprit of Turnabout Big Top. Will Powers tagging along with Phoenix and Pearl the entire time starting with their investigation in Farewell, My Turnabout as The Team Wannabe getting ignored. Freddy Fatassbear, which spirals into an entire FNASS series that takes the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise and applies jokes about all the characters having massive butts. Luke Atmey being responsible for everything that happens, à la Zoomposting. Once “Zvarri!� becomes a frequent Borrowed Catchphrase, it takes off and practically everyone is secretly Luke Atmey in disguise. Bringing up how often the JPEG of Yanni Yogi choking in the elevator is shown whenever a current plot point ends up tying back to the DL-6 Incident, especially when characters feel the need to give an explanation about DL-6 to Phoenix, the guy who solved DL-6. Phoenix insisting that Dahlia supposedly lacks any sense of scale for measuring length, entirely because he doesn’t want her making people think he has a Teeny Weenie. At the end of Iris’s trial, her confession that she was the one who dated Phoenix for months in college is accompanied with her declaring that she is an excellent judge of length and giving him her seal of approval. Dialogue from unknown speakers are spoken by Wes with an exaggerated Sweedish accent, before being corrected upon their identification. When a two jurors are pitted against one another during a Summation Examination in the Great Ace Attorney games, starting from 1-4's second Summation Examination, Wes will have the person Ryunoske is pointing to exclaim "Holy shit!" when their damage reaction is used in the process (jurors who don't react, such as Quinby Altamont, are exempt). Whether intentional or not, Wes opts to make both of the actors in the Samurai franchise (Will Powers and Matt Engarde) New Zealanders. Whenever the script prominently uses certain words like darkness, light, heart, lock, door, and key, expect there to be a good chance the team starts quoting and referencing Kingdom Hearts, frequently culminating in Wes doing an impression of Sora showing up and thinking there’s a Heartless he has to slay only to get shooed away by Zak. This especially ramps up once Lamiroir comes into the picture and starts using darkness as a frequent metaphor to describe her blindness and Mysterious Past. | |

Everytown, America: The setting of many bar exam questions is Anytown OH, which can function as wherever in Ohio the question could be. On a slightly wider scale but in the same principle, Prij notes that the fifth bar exam question is an example set in the fictional state of Franklin, which is used for hypotheticals about federal law. | |

Special Edition Title | |
| Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! (Lets Play) / int_fc8bc8e | comment |
Special Edition Title: The Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplay stream during Justice For All opens with a parody version of the intro for season 1 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters English dub with Phoenix as Yugi. Regrettably, the YouTube upload was unable to get around the site’s music copyright detection, but it can be found here. The YouTube uploads for the Grand Finale stream of the original trilogy don’t use the standard opening for the rest of the Trials and Tribulations episodes. Instead, a special opening is used that combines the visuals for the openings of three games’ respective uploads. Additionally, rather than using the Pursuit - Catch the Culprit theme from Trials and Tribulations as the opening music, Zak reuses the Pursuit - Corner the Culprit theme from the first game, in reference to how Bridge to the Turnabout remixed the first game’s “Pursuit� music as Pursuit - Corner the Culprit 2004 for its climaxnote Coincidentally, the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy HD remaster of the game also reuses the original Pursuit music in place of the remix. | |

Pretentious Pronunciation: When discussing how Adrian tampered with the crime scene, Wes has Edgeworth use the British pronunciation of the word “vase� (vɑ�z), something Zak finds to be irritatingly in-character for Edgeworth. Wes then takes it a step further by pronouncing the word case (both the criminal case and Juan’s guitar case) such that it rhymes with the British pronunciation of vase. | |

Unfortunately for both of them, Buster could not help but try to fake out Lucky by misleading him to think that the gift was another Buster Special, leading to Lucky understandably anticipating another rock snowball and punching his face in self-defense. | |
