Turnabout Theatre
- Just like in its predecessor, Twilight corrects in annoyance that she's a pony, not a horse.
- Apollo is utterly baffled at how quickly everyone else adjusts to being in a world of pastel-colored talking ponies.Apollo: Is Mr. Wright seriously hugging a talking purple pony right now?
- Athena gets mad when the royal guards won't let her into the detention center without an Equestrian Attorney's Badge. Apollo has to keep an eye on her so she doesn't try to body-flip one of the guards.
- The Wright Anything Agency's encounter with Playwright is worth a few chuckles.
- Trucy offers to demonstrate her magic act to Rarity... and of course, she has to bring up her "magic panties" trick.Phoenix: (thinking) Trucy, as your father, please be careful when you start talking about your panties...
- When Trucy ends up managing to take Twilight's map from her using said panties, Twilight being Twilight almost immediately demands to study them out of sheer bewilderment at Trucy's magic act.
- As the others are reminiscing on the events of "Turnabout for Tomorrow", Trucy adds, oddly cheerfully, that she was kidnapped during that case.
- Athena still has a bit of trouble adjusting to the fact that Ponies are so different from them, as she's interested in trying one of the pony costumes, even though they're clearly too small for her. When Apollo mentions this, Athena gets offended, accusing him of calling her fat. He quickly amends that he was referring to the fact that the ponies are much smaller than humans, which Athena gets disappointed after being reminded of the fact.
- Seeing Rarity blow up over Blueblood being the prosecutor, Trucy reminisces that with a temper like that, she's like... a roasted marshmallow. Trucy then comments moments later that she feels like having S'mores.
- Phoenix’s reaction to seeing The Judge in Equestria again. The judge in turn is quite tickled to be back. Even giving a bright hello to all of Phoenix's team in the gallery.
- When Phoenix cross-examines Playwright and asks about the plot of Hinny of the Hills, Prince Blueblood objects that it's irrelevant to the case... and more importantly, he doesn't want to have the plot spoiled for him.
- Apollo and Athena having a difficult time comprehending how it was possible for Pinkie to be able to wake up after sleeping in, set up a celebratory party, and catch the train to Manehattan, in under a matter of minutes. Phoenix advises that they just get used to it.
Crusading for a Turnabout
- Apollo has Rainbow Dash try out his "Chords of Steel" technique. Cue her voice shattering a lot of eardrums.
- Apollo's Flat "What" when Twilight explained that messages are sent instantly by Spike's dragon breath. He tries to argue against the logic behind it all, but Phoenix tells him to just give it up since he knows by now that their physics don't always apply to Equestria's physics.
- The Judge, meanwhile, accepts it without hesitation. Athena worries that he might be too comfortable with Equestria.
Athena: Yup. He's stayed here waaay too long for him to not even bat an eye at that. - When they first investigate the crime scene, Athena, Phoenix, Apple Bloom, and Twilight run into the detective for this case, a pony named Private Eye who looks and sounds almost exactly like Professor Layton. Phoenix even confuses him for the Professor at first.
- Phoenix and Twilight constantly reference things that happened in MLP or Turnabout Storm and when Athena asks, they say it's not important. Watching Athena get increasingly frustrated by this is quite amusing.
- The dressing for the defence lobby in Ponyville is a picture of Mayor Mare and Celestia shaking hooves. Mayor Mare is quite enthusiastic about the picture. Celestia...less so.
- Widget says it's positive that the trial will be "anything but a cakewalk."
- Let's just summarize: literally all the moments, when Widget starts talking and when Athena scolds or argues with him are quite funny.
- Trucy plans to distract the guards barring all from entering the Everfree by having Apollo pretend to be a monster, only for him to say it was a dumb idea. Trucy says Jinxie Tenma was fooled, but that only redoubles Apollo's stance on not going through with it.
- Athena noticing in the first part of the trial that the Judge is still sticking around. When questioned why he's still in Equestria, the Judge states that he's decided to "take a vacation", then starts going on and on about the wonders of the world he's in and his desires to see more of it, all the while Athena and Twilight giving him weirded out looks.
- While the revelation it leads to is anything but funny, the reveal late in the case that Royal Order did not clone himself is met with the same level of disbelief and incredulity as the theory earlier on that he did clone himself. The hypocrisy is palpable.
