Notable funny moments from the anime include:

Season 1

The English dub continues the punny humor from the games with full force, first shown with Larry defiantly slouching in the defendant's chair and the bailiff repeatedly pulling him up in the proper position, as if it wasn't funny enough on its own:
Phoenix: He's weird, but deep down, he's a standup guy.
Mia: He seems to have trouble sitting down.
Phoenix: Butz has always been a cheeky one.
Once Phoenix wins his first trial, Payne is left yelling at himself and slamming his fists as the confetti falls. His toupee is also flapping on his head as he does so.
Payne: THE ROOKIE BEAT ME?!
In the first Turnabout Sisters episode, Maya and Phoenix ask at the same time, "Defend me/let me defend you," surprising both of them, which leads to them both accepting and overenthusiastically bowing... right into the glass wall in front of them.
Also in that same episode, Gumshoe and Phoenix meet in the law office.
Gumshoe: You're, uh...
Phoenix: I'm Phoenix Wright, attorney at law.
Gumshoe: Yeah, yeah, I know who you are. That's some weird name you got there!
Phoenix: (Heck, Dick Gumshoe's not totally ridiculous at all.)
Phoenix yelling "Hang on a second there, Dick!" is a hilarious innuendo, delivered beautifully.
Probably unintentional, but Edgeworth parking his red sports car like some sort of thug can be hilarious.
Once Phoenix shows evidence that April May was eavesdropping on the Fey and Co. Law Offices, this exchange occurs.
April May: I can't believe it! That stupid call was recorded? (Realizes what she just said.)
Phoenix: Miss, what did you just say?
Gumshoe: [Imitating May] That stupid call was recorded? [Returns to normal voice] Right?
- Bryan Massey's attempt at a falsetto voice is what sells that last line.
Redd White's glorious Engrish.
- "WHATCHA NAAAAAAAAAAAYME!?"
In Episode 5, both Phoenix and Maya mess up Gumshoe's name.
Maya: It's Detective Gumtree!
Phoenix: Actually, his name is Gumfoot.
Gumshoe: NO! Both of you are wrong! For crying out loud, my name's DETECTIVE DICK GUMSHOE!!!
If you thought Oldbag was funny in the game, it's brought up some here as Edgeworth seems visibly embarrassed when she starts flirting with him.
The slapstick of the "Turnabout Samurai" episodes must be seen to be believed. From Will Powers being unfazed by slamming his head into the glass, to Phoenix falling headfirst into a drain.
"WENDY OLDBAG!" ^note
At the end of episode 5, when the Judge is about to call for adjournment, Oldbag interjects with a drawn-out "OBJECTIONNNNNNNNN!!!" which even gets its own speech bubble!
When Sal Manella sees Maya, we get to see what the initial design for the Pink Princess is like: It's Maya in a very Fanservice-heavy pink kimono. She's also a lot more... stacked than she usually is, almost to her sister's level.
Edgeworth tosses the spear that was allegedly used as the murder weapon to Phoenix so he can see for himself how heavy it is. Edgeworth has no problems holding it, while Phoenix immediately falls over.
When Phoenix comes back with a decisive objection against Vasquez, he performs a majorly-OTT "wind objection", that summons a massive whirlwind and causes the courtroom to illuminate. Funny in itself (doubles as Awesome, too), but it's even funnier when it cuts to the Judge shielding his face. Clearly he's become accustomed to this by now.
Apparently, from the first Turnabout Goodbyes episode, Maya is also a fangirl of Gourdy, talk about Genki girl to a new level!
- In the same episode, we also get the first glimpse of Gourdy's face, he emits a roar like a beast he's supposed to be... yet said beast has a very cartoony face. Intentional or not, it's still funny to watch.
When Phoenix walks into a room to get coffee in the first Turnabout Goodbyes episode, he walks in on Maya dressed in white... under a "waterfall"... in reality a hose connected to the sink. Plus she's standing in a kiddy pool.
- The really deadpan way he backs out of the room and shuts the door is good too.
Von Karma, as usual, acts like his manipulative and coercive self to the judge like in the game, only this time, the Judge actually cowers in fear behind his gavel, not to mention Nick's and Maya incredulous and shocked reaction towards it.
When Lotta leaves and quickly returns she walks backwards as if she's being rewound. Twice.
- Another from Lotta, when we see the real version of the moment she heard the gunshots, she comes outside and goes hyper girl mode. Her enthusiasm for the creature is very goofy yet adorable!
When Phoenix remembers the moment where Edgeworth pays Maya's bail out of gratitude of finding a hole in von Karma's case, a completely unexpected Mood Whiplash happens where Phoenix wishes Edgeworth would also cover his rent for the month.
Phoenix has no idea what "ballistic marking" is, causing everyone on screen (Gumshoe and Maya) to nearly Face Fault.
Lotta is present when Larry reveals the truth about Gourdy, causing her to smack him in the head with a magazine.
Larry: Gouchy!
When Phoenix tries to question Yanni Yogi regarding the day he witnessed the murder, he tries to answer... only to fall asleep with his snorting animation, Phoenix and Maya are not amused.
Also a moment of awesome, but the part when Larry jumps in to save the day is kinda funny!
Larry (in the dub): Butz-Man! <imitating echo> Man, man, man, man…
While the rent boat shack owner is being testified, Phoenix eventually asks him if he saw who passed by the shack. von Karma makes the question more specific, trying to confirm whether it was the defendant, to which the old man confirms by angrily saying it was "Edgey-boy", then falls. He is not seen again in that trial day in the game, but we find out why he fell in the anime: he fell asleep. While accusing Edgeworth.
Anytime von Karma shuts Larry up by merely giving a finger snap.
In Episode 11, when they return to the boathouse with Gumshoe in the full awareness that a man was murdered there, both Maya and Phoenix are pretty nervous. Then the parrot says something. Maya jumps into Phoenix and Phoenix jumps into Gumshoe, resulting in an embarrassing triple cling. Then Polly says something else and they do it again.
Phoenix performing another "Wind Objection", which while an awesome moment, it also apparently blows Yanni Yogi's snorting away.
Perhaps the biggest shocking surprise for game fans is that when Phoenix tries to prove Von Karma's guilt, the evidence turns out to be missing. Luckily, the episode tries to light up the mood by adding a honking sound and Phoenix's baffled reaction.
Larry tries to buy more time for Edgeworth and Maya in getting the evidence for the trial... by disguising as Edgeworth. Manfred, of course, doesn't buy it and threatens him with the punishment of death, causing Larry to freak out and begs Phoenix to help him, Phoenix though, only muses: I must be in hell...
Von Karma: Remove this cheeky imposter from the court at once!
- At the end, Larry unwisely decides to reveal that he was the one who stole Edgeworth's lunch money all those years ago. This causes Phoenix's frayed nerves to snap, and he chases Larry around the room, yelling that he's decided to become a prosecutor now.
Little Phoenix and Larry doing the Signal Samurai speeches and then edging over to Miles with goofy looks on their faces to get him to give the red Signal Samurai Speech.
Larry: [posing like the Yellow Signal Samurai] See the enemies I do. So be careful, will you? Signal Yellow!
Phoenix: [doing likewise as the Blue Signal Samurai] Kick enemies to the curb and sally forth! Signal Blue!
[awkward pause while they scoot over to Edgeworth, who hasn't moved]
Edgeworth: [embarrassed but going along anyway] You're facing me, and I shall stop thee. Signal Red.
Really, all of the interactions of the little trio of friends is beyond stupidly endearing yet so effective at the same time. The moments with the precious puppy and the Signal Samurai moment above really cements this.
Larry was about to do something with Edgeworth lost money... until he changed his mind with the sight of the beautifully cute eyes of the puppy which for some reason it looked like said puppy was falling in love with Larry.
Little Franziska von Karma, who is supposed to be two or three years old, fluently talks to Edgeworth in the car. Many a viewer did a Double Take during that scene. Young Edgeworth's expression sells it.
Little Franziska: My name is Franziska von Karma. From now on I’ll teach you everything you need to know.
Lotta Hart being her usual animated self. She can read Nick like a book.
Lotta Hart: Hey, what's with that look that reads, "she never changes"?!
Lotta and Nick's sneaking around the manor in the least covert and graceful manner possible.
Pearls being a Shipper on Deck for Nick and Maya. Even funnier is Nick's reaction to this.
- Pearls then saying she heard from Maya that Phoenix is the best attorney in the world at breaking into a cold sweat. and Phoenix's reaction to it.
Nick wonders if Gumshoe is the only detective in the world after he shows up at Fey Manor.
Poor Gumshoe asking Nick and Pearls not to hate him — he's just doing his job by taking Maya in. Nick understands, of course.
- Also funny is Gumshoe's attempt to sneak past them.
Phoenix's attempt to prove there was someone else in the channeling chamber fails and he is knocked back by the wind gust that Franziska summons with her objection. Pearl and Lotta then tell him that even they could tell it was a stupid idea.
Everyone's reaction after Pearl summons Mia, who is now flashing a lot of cleavage, to the point Phoenix and the Judge get both disturbed and Distracted by the Sexy.
Mia: Looks like Pearl summoned me, though her clothes are a little small in the chest area.
[Phoenix turns around while blushing]
Judge: [also blushing] D-defence! Who is that woman? She was a little girl until just now.
Probably the quickest Mood Whiplash in all history, Pearls tries to answer the question about her involvement in the murderer while she drops an orange... only to later try to catch it with her hands.
Lotta Hart scrambling around after her witness testimony back at Kurain.
Lotta: Don't look at me!
- Then later, inside the linen box:
  Lotta: I have no face!
On the day of the last trial, Franziska proclaims that she's prepared to watch the whole world witnessing Phoenix's humiliating defeat, only for Mia Fey to counter by saying that they shall see who will be humiliated. Of course, Franziska doesn't give in and proclaims that they're wise words coming from a lady with rare clothing. This flutters Phoenix shamelessly, proclaiming in how women are being scary.
- In the English dub, Franziska calls Mia Fey on wearing children's clothing, and Phoenix declares he's staying out of that argument.
Really, every time both Ini and Phoenix imitate the motions in how she describes the car incident.
Mimi Miney creating a miniature nuclear explosion from inside the witness' stand in Episode 17. The cause? A particularly intense scream.
Phoenix going to the circus with Maya wearing the bright pink sweater made for him by Dahlia Hawthorne.
Maya suggesting that Phoenix jump out the window to fly. Phoenix... declines.
Maya's Adorkable reaction to meeting Max Galactica for the first time is a line read of legendary proportions.
—"Honmono da yo, Naruhodo-Kun..."
Max's freakout when he realizes that he's actually in prison and starts to break down in tears, all the while the cop keeping guard is laughing silently since he didn't realize it. This is how the dub has it go down:
Max: My "defense" you say? You make it sound as though I'm under arrest!
Phoenix: Well, that's because you are!
Max: Honey, I am the Maximillian Galactica, you know.
Maya (*still a bit starstruck*): Yeah.
Max: Berry Big Circus' very big star?
Maya (*coming to the realization that Max is a nut*): Yeah...
Max: And I'm doing fabulously well!
Maya: Are you, though?
*cue long awkward silence before Max's Freak Out*
Max doing his "throwing cards" animation in the detention centre. The cards just smack against the glass. He does this twice.
Upon meeting Phoenix and Maya at Berry Big Top, Gumshoe asks Phoenix if he's "the only attorney in the world". Phoenix turns it back on Gumshoe by pointing out he could say the same of Gumshoe and the detectives.
Gumshoe casually pulling Max's hat out of some Hammerspace pocket in his coat. And wearing it, with a little pose like he imagines he's "gorgeous" too. And then putting it away again...
The short montage of questioning circus workers that has them all express their contempt towards Max's jerkish attitude ends with both Money the Monkey and Regent the Tiger tearing up posters of him. THAT'S how much the circus hates him!
Maya's shock at Max's breakdown and revelation that he's a "country bumpkin". Likewise, Max's breakdown and his "country bumpkin" self reveals really benefit from the anime format, it becomes more hilarious to look at and sells the humor better.
Nick and Maya acting like monkeys, complete with monkey faces (when fighting Money).
Regent the Tiger runs up to Phoenix and POUNCES him... only to start licking him like a dog and clinging to his back.
Gumshoe's little diorama to explain how Max could have flown, and his speech about putting his heart and soul into it — then he protests that he was up all night working on it! Poor guy.
Phoenix, Maya and some of the circus performers doing a re-enactment of the murder complete with props and costumes inside the courtroom. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome for how elaborate the whole thing is.
After Phoenix's re-enactment, Franziska tries to shoot his point down by asking how did the murder weapon get to the room on the third floor. Phoenix introduces her to Money the Monkey, which seems to catch Franzika off guard for a second. Phoenix also continues to explain Money's kleptomaniac tendencies, while said primate playfully pulls on his hair and face.
Moe, Ben and Trilo, all flying around on wires in the courtroom.
Moe: GOOOOOOOOOORGEOUS!
Max Galactica's trousers ride so low that when he stands behind the bench◊ to hear his verdict, he looks naked from the waist down. It's hard to know if the effect was deliberate.
At the Hero of Heroes Ceremony, Larry reveals his new job: tabloid journalist. And he eagerly shows Nick, Maya, and Pearl a sample of his employer's work.
Pearl: The woman on the cover isn't wearing very much.
Phoenix: This isn't for young eyes!
Pearl: But I wanna see where her clothes went!
Poor Phoenix... first, he deals with Franziska at the crime scene, and just as she leaves with Gumshoe, Larry Butz enters the room, much to the former's dismay.
- The funniest moments include Franziska going into a whipping frenzy as Gumshoe and Phoenix hold each other, and then Franziska literally wrapping Gumshoe in her whip and dragging him bodily from the room by the scruff of the neck!
Oldbag's ranting just plains baffles Phoenix, Maya, and Pearl so much that Will Powers tries to intervene, only for Oldbag to shoot him with the blaster. Powers actually acts like he's been shot.
Pearl's innocent questions in response to the things Oldbag and Larry say or do, and Phoenix's flustered reactions.
Oldbag ogling Edgeworth and playing with his jabot when she arrives to give witness testimony. Also, the moments with the raygun — she even manages to startle the judge with it.
- She even uses it to intimidate Matt Engarde when chewing him out for Juan Corrida's death. The look on Matt's face is priceless, especially if you have already played the case and/or at least knew the case's major plot twist beforehand. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome.
- Then, of course, there's the fact she kept the photographic evidence from Edgeworth — and his reaction!
  Phoenix: You're a victim too?
Pearls and Gumshoe praying over the oversized teddy bear. Pearls can keep going without thinking about it. Gumshoe briefly opens an eye and glances at her to make sure he's doing it right.
When Edgeworth announces that De Killer will come to testify in the case, everyone is surprised for it given the nature of the person... and then when it's revealed that he's actually testifying through a radio, everyone responds with a very incredulous "WHAT?!"
Gumshoe has finally got a piece of evidence that will certainly prove in Wright's favor... then the car crashes when he talked with the phone. Poor guy, even he doesn't get a righteous eureka moment!
When Pearls summons Mia, Larry is stunned. Absolutely nobody pays attention to his reaction, and in a later shot, he's actually hiding behind Nick. A nice moment to break the case's tension.
De Killer's radio moving like it was a human being. It even sweats battery acid.
Larry and Gumshoe bawling at the reunion between Maya and Mia, and then Maya and Pearls. By the time they have hysterics over Maya and Phoenix, the sentiment has been entirely replaced by humor.
Maya goes to hug Gumshoe and he's still in pain, but he tells Maya not to worry — "it's just a flesh wound!"
Franziska wearing Gumshoe's coat over her usual court dress; she doesn't even try to wear it properly and it hangs off of her in shabby sadness while she's trying to make an entrance.
Due to Maya being in the middle of eating after being freed, she still has the bowl of ramen in her hands when she goes to greet Phoenix, accidentally burning him when the hot bowl touches him.

Season 2

The very moment Payne brings a zoomed-in picture of Dustin Prince's dead body on the screen, an amnesiac Phoenix freaks out and does a Face Fault on the spot.
Phoenix and Maggey's o_o faces when Richard Wellington introduces himself in his over-the-top way.
Phoenix finds the evidence in the photo:
Phoenix: Wait... HOLD IT!
Gumshoe: [is hit by the Wind Objection] GAHH!! Oof! That always hits me like a punch to the breadbasket! My poor belly...
Phoenix: [looking at his own hands] What was that all about?
Wellington's terrified scream when presented with the baseball glove can be likened to that of a chicken.
Luke Atmey, naturally, appears during "The Stolen Turnabout" story arc, and his Large Ham tendencies are brought in and milked for all their worth with the anime format.
- The English Dub adds onto this by giving Atmey an affinity at spouting Added Alliterative Appeal. For example, him seeing himself as superior to Gumshoe:
  Luke Atmey: The Masked Marauder's Mischief-Making is Matched only by My Meticulous Mind, Meanwhile you Metropolitan Meatheads Missed the Mark on Mask☆DeMasque's Malfeasance.
We get to see the scene of Adrian Andrews when she trips over and breaks the urn in full motion, and we get the bonus of hearing her screams of despair with every mishap. When she drops the shards on the spilled paint, she ends up fainting.
When Phoenix and Maya meet Gumshoe at KB Security, Maya sits on the president's chair and playfully spins around on it. Gumshoe shows up and tells her that's where the victim was moments before being killed. Maya freaks out and falls to the floor.
Gumshoe comments they had a bad day, and Maya says it's weird that Gumshoe doesn't rub it in their face. Gumshoe says that he sympathizes with the feeling of screwing something up at work. But as soon as they mention Detective Atmey, Gumshoe is quick to go "Serves him right! He got what was coming to him!" and laugh.
Maya: Now he's back to normal.
Phoenix: I feel more at ease now.
As it turns out, Ron tried to tell his wife that he was Mask DeMasque. She didn't believe him.
Desiree admitting that Detective Atmey's smarmy nature is infuriating enough for her to want to punch his pointy nose off of his face.
When the case is solved, Pearl comes in to congratulate Phoenix for winning the trial, only to find him Holding Hands with Desiree. Phoenix doesn't even have the chance to explain that it's Not What It Looks Like before Pearl slaps him.
Episode 6 starts with a little video made by Phoenix and Maya to promote their law office. It's pretty much clear Maya dragged Phoenix into it.
We see Phoenix and Larry in junior high. Larry tries to come off as more mature telling Phoenix he stopped watching kid shows like "Signal Samurai" and now he's enjoying radio like adults. Turns out he's listening to a show hosted by a girl he's infatuated with.
When Edgeworth exposes the fat lady's lies and she has a breakdown, her hair raises like a bull's horns and she kicks the floor as if ready to charge. They even add bull bellows in the background!
The fat woman runs away at Manfred's Death Glare... and little Franziska's riding crop.
Edgeworth watching the promotional video made by Phoenix and Maya — and hitting the like button. He just has this warm look of affection and amusement as he does so.
After Gumshoe's prompting, Phoenix and Maya go visit the Detention Center to find out why he's so worked up about that case Phoenix supposedly lost. Of course, we know the answer: the defendant in said case was Maggey Byrde.
- And despite the seriousness of the situation, it's hard not to laugh at her angry face pressed against the glass when she complains to Phoenix about his supposedly poor defense.
Phoenix and Maya visit the Trés Bien restaurant and they spot Viola Cadaverini as she's leaving. Maya freaks out and quickly clings to Phoenix.
Unlike in the game, Maya seems a bit more eager to accept Jean Armstrong's offer to work as a waitress. Their s'il vous plait exchange just sells it.
During the trial, once they bring Victor Kudo to the stand, Phoenix tries to break his testimony by asking what he remembers of the waitress he saw. Obviously, he mentions the ribbon in her hair, the apron... and her thighs. When asked about her face, he mentions it was "a plain one". Maggey feels indignant at the remark:
Maggey: What?! These cute glasses are my mark of identity!
The first encounter between Phoenix and Furio Tigre is even more hilarious than in the game. Aside from his over-the-top screaming, we get to see him riding his moped, and he looks almost too big for it.
Speaking of Tigre, the dub makes it just a little more plausible that he could have passed as Phoenix. How? By casting Sam Riegel, Phoenix's official voice actor in recent games who got Darrined by Eric Vale for the anime.
Maya's nickname for the Phoenix impostor - Fakenix Wrong - is funnier than the Xin Eohp nickname she used in the game.
And of course, Tigre's quick mood shifts when he's near Viola.
When Phoenix and Maya are invited onto the Silver Star express, they just so happened to run into both Gumshoe and the Judge, who won the tickets in a sweepstake. Maya's tone of voice clearly expresses surprise to see the Judge outside of the courtroom.
- And later Gumshoe questions why the Judge brought his gavel with him, who admits he doesn't feel complete without it.
Gumshoe and Maya use walkie-talkies on a train to play criminals.
While Phoenix and the rest of the people in the dining car were deliberately brought on the train for Richman's unofficial trial, the Judge only got involved because he left his gavel in the dining car.
When Gumshoe sees Phoenix and Miles working together, he gives a squee that represents the entire fandom.
- And when it comes to saving the day, he does it... while wearing a train conductor's hat.
Seeing how Mia was like as a rookie is very funny, but highlights include:
- Mia is so nervous about the upcoming trial that she lets her emotions get the better of her and grabs both Grossberg and Phoenix by the collars out of impulse.
- Once the trial begins, The Judge questions Mia on being there to take Grossberg's place. Mia says that Grossberg had important business and was too busy to oversee the trial, but the Judge points out that Grossberg is standing right next to her. Grossberg clarifies that overseeing the trial was the important business.
- When Dahlia calls her 'old', she has a comedic pout about how they're not that different in age.
When Young Phoenix is Squeeing over his girlfriend, Dahlia's patience starts to run thin very quickly while everyone else is just baffled at how over the top this is as Dahlia is getting more and more annoyed. If it wasn't for the circumstances, it'd be kinda cute.
When Phoenix admits he ate the necklace, all Grossberg can react with is a Flat "What".
Once Dahlia essentially forfeits herself to the court, Payne tries to object to this, only for Mia to knock "The Rookie Killer" down a peg with her words and her finger-pointing to blow off his pompadour, as well as his confidence.
Gumshoe freaking out when Edgeworth reveals that he plans on standing in for Phoenix as the defense attorney.
Gumshoe refers to Sister Bikini as "the Bikini lady," prompting Edgeworth to expect a woman clad in a bikini rather than the robe-clad nun.
When Edgeworth and Gumshoe come to the Hazakura temple to question Sister Bikini about what she saw, the poor woman breaks down into tears on the ground. Gumshoe approaches to try and comfort her... and she grabs his tie to blow her nose on it.
We get to see up close Larry's portraits of himself and Iris on the walls of the Heavenly Hall. Truly works of art for a children's book.
When Sister Bikini introduces herself on the stand, the Judge goes over the usual "I don't see her wearing any bikini" before Franziska cuts him off with her whip.
Franziska: The court is a sacred place! Those not pure of heart should leave immediately!
Judge: Are you suggesting that I should leave?!
When Larry gives his testimony, the Judge and Franziska demand that Edgeworth rein him in. Why? Because he and Larry are friends! His face says it all.
- The minute Larry appears, control of the trial visibly slips out of Edgey's fingers. It's hilarious.
Gumshoe has Phoenix's "Objection!" as his ringtone!
When the Judge suggests that Phoenix's argument implies there were two of Iris the night of the murder, Phoenix responds with a unique speech bubble: "No Objections!"

Blooper Reel

The most Payneful insult toward the Butz.
Butz: Hey! Hey wait just a second, man. Who the hell took that picture?
Payne: The man whose dick she was sucking.
Detective Gumshoe has a habit of swearing after a mistake. On that note, all the swearing in the bloopers is censored.
Gumshoe: My lips are fatter than a wai— Fuck!
This bit from Yanni Yogi:
Yogi: He looked like that punk-ass bitch, Eric Vale.^note
On being dropped off.
Pearl: I'm totally f*cked!
Phoenix: Yeah, I know.
Every time Phoenix ad libs...
- When von Karma plays hardball
  von Karma: If that question changes nothing, I demand we go directly to the verdict.
  Phoenix: Dude, fuck you!
- When Pearl talks about the Sacred Urn:
  Pearl: Because I was so clumsy I let Mystic Ami's spirit fly away.
  Phoenix: Did you go cry to your mommy like a little bitch?
- (When Miney describes the car incident.) "Did you just dab?"
- "The fuck? Dad?"
- I don't buy it. Something doesn't add up. (Beat) "Oh shit, that's a mental line."
Edgeworth isn't a slouch in the laughs department, either.
- "His Skittles are not of this earth."
- "There's no peanut butter for that jelly on the plate! I don't think you're ready for this jelly!"
- When talking about the wooden bear figurine:
  Edgeworth: After murdering Corrida that night at his hotel room, de Killer then delivered de bear (starts corpsing) to his client!
  (Eric laughs out loud; Christopher follows suit)
  Christopher: I didn't read it 'til I got there...
  (Eric's still laughing)
Ini: Okay, I'm gonna go smoke a fat blunt.
Matt: Surprise, motherfucker! This is the real me!
The season 2's first half starts us off with...
Phoenix: Why is everything in Japanese?
Phoenix: Sorry to burst your bubble, [Wellington] but I have more evidence against you! You are so fucked!
What Desirée DeLite does in her spare time when Ron's not around:
Desirée: Without Ronnie here, my only company is my giant box of dildos.
Maya: There are a lot...
- And later, when Maya trips on something:
Pearl: Oh no! You tripped on the dildos!
Pearl describes Mask ☆DeMasque's costume as what Eric Vale would dress up like when he thinks he's alone. Vale refuses to corpse.
During one of Phoenix's investigations in an office, he discovers something very interesting as he looks into a bag. Even better? The bag belongs to Luke Atmey.
Phoenix: What is this? Something smooth and hard... like a dildo.
Luke: *bursts in* The fuck?! What are you doing?!
Ian Sinclair dubbing both Luke Atmey and Phoenix Wright for a solid 35 seconds.
- The part where he messes up a tongue-twisting line 3 times. What makes it so funny is Ian actually continuing the line by ad-libbing sounds based on where he tripped, leading to Luke Atmey making weird noises.
When Pearl sees that her Phoneix and Maya ship isn't supported.
Pearl: You guys did such a wonderful job in there! Major congratulations...! Huh?
*sees Phoenix and Desirée holding hands*
Pearl: What the f*ck!
The Judge: I shall hereby hand down the verdict in the case against Maggey Byrde. Guilty as f*ck!
One moment gave us a brief summary of how cross-examinations work in Ace Attorney
Tigre: What?! I don’t know nothin’ about nun of that, or what the hell a "tray-bein" even is!
Phoenix: You're fucking lying!
Tigre: Nuh-uh!
Phoenix: Then explain this note, bitch!
Tigre: What the-?!
In season 2's second half, Kent Williams manages to completely break Dani Chambers thrice in short order.
The Judge: THIS MUSIC TURNS ME ON!
Dani: *breaks down laughing* Dammit... I was thinking that too... I'm like "WHAT IS THIS MUSIC?!"
The Judge: I want to pitter-patter all over your tits!
Dani: WHAT THE F— WHAT?! WHY?! WHY?! Why...
The Judge: I'll use my gavel to pound them in their buttholes!
Dani: *small laugh* NO!—
Dahlia: I was under the impression we were here today to solve Douggy's murder. Am I wrong... Farting Butthole?
Young Phoenix after discovering Doug Swallow's dead body.
Phoenix: No... it's not my fault... it couldn't be...! I didn't kill this guy!
Phoenix: ...I kinda did.
"I'm sorry... for pooping my pants! *imitates letting out a huge load, which the characters' reactions in the scene are perfect for*"
- This makes a comeback in one of the last episodes, and you temporarily forget Dani's laugh is scripted there.
"Since we're here, let's ask the lord and savior Jesus Christ for help." Despite breaking at the bomb, Alexis Tipton goes along with it for their next line.
- Then their praying is interrupted by a RICKROLL.
Pearl trying to hear the ocean in the seashell ramen bowl.
Pearl: The f*ck, Maya? This just says, “Eat more ramen!”
A few bombs suggest the leads are totally fine with Wright/Edgeworth.
Turnbull: Edgeworth, you say?
Phoenix: That's right. He and I used to do some pretty gay stuff.
Edgeworth: I paid a visit to Wright at the hospital. He requested I do him. *Christopher Wehkamp cracks up at his own line*
Phoenix: And then later we can maybe hang out a little bit... maybe date or something.
"What the... it can't be... it's Japanese writing!"
"KEEP IT IN YOUR ASS, BUTZ!" "It's where I keep it, Phoe~nix!"
"I found out [Dahlia] was you twin sister... I'd like to have sex with both of you."
- "Finally I can have sex with [Maya], FOR THE FIRST TIME! Next episode: Bridge to My Sex in Her! I'm gonna stick it in!"
Phoenix talking to "Iris" about Dahlia.
Phoenix: She started dating a college student for several months so she could use him. I'm curious, did she ever talk about that guy?
Iris: Not really. But she did tell me one thing. She said, she hated his guts. That's it.
Phoenix: Is there a good place to kill myself around here?
(cue to Iris laughing)
Phoenix while he's falling down from the burning Dusky Bridge.
Phoenix: *thinking* What have I done with my life?!
"So that means GOD DAMN ERIC VALE."
Eric and Dani have one last shot at making each other crack.
Dahlia: It was Maya, you dolt—
Phoenix: With my dick!
Dahlia: —who else could have done it? She said it was for Eric Vale!
Phoenix: No way! You're lying! She would never... *Eric struggles to not laugh* stab you with my dick...
"In the end, our struggles brought us closer. And I couldn't wait to get away from them, because they're the most irritating fuckheads I've ever known. Goodbye, Cleveland."
Franziska stops Phoenix from following Iris with just two words: "F*ck off". It feels surprisingly in-character.
