    Miles is on Fire 

Part One:

  • The video opens with a spoiler warning for Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth...before admitting that the game sucks so it’s not a problem.
  • Brendan laughing at the fact that there are elevators in the airplane.
  • “The killer...is a human being! Unless it’s that cat! It’s a human or a cat!
    • Miles almost drops the cat theory when he finds a trail of human foot prints...until it is brought up that it could be Puss in Boots.
  • (Shot of a first class passenger surrounded by bottles)Buddy, I think you might have a problem!
  • Every time Brendan and company correctly identify the killer. At least once they do it several cases in advance, and eventually they start making a game out of it.
  • “This suitcase was designed by Ms. Rhoda! Wouldn’t it be crazy if I framed her- I mean, if she did the murder?
  • Introducing Franziska: “Her name is Franziska Von- I know all this shit, she’s a bitch.”
  • Franziska: A misunderstanding? Those never happen in Ace Attorney!
    (On the charges against Miles) “I never thought I’d see the day when a disciple of the House of Von Karma would...” (Manfred Von Karma, who was the killer in the DL-6 incident, flashes across the screen)Wait a second...
  • Franziska was tracking a smuggling ring dealing in ugly suitcases filled with sleeping gas. Miles cannot think of how that connects to his current case.
  • (At the end of case 2) “Well, that flight sucked! One star!”
  • Brendan declares that he’s having fun with the game. A title card interrupts, saying that he would soon change his mind.
  • Case 3: The Scooby-Doo adventure, accompanied by Brendan and co. losing their shit at the sight of Bad Badger ambushing Edgeworth with a sword.
  • Every instance of Agent Lang's name is replaced by another L word: Agent Lasagna, Agent Luigi, Agent Littlefoot, Agent Lactose, Agent Lesbian...
    “Agent...LONG, LONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
  • Edgeworth asks Kay if she has ever rode a horse.
    Kay: Nope! But I have an Asian friend who was born in the year of the horse!
    Brendan!Miles: What- what the fuck?
  • (Kay is heard talking with her mouth full) “Kay, get the body out of your mouth!”
    ”Kay sure does like human flesh!”
  • “But! The only people who seemed to gather around me...were little girls, sir! I thought I had no choice at that point, so...I pulled my gun on them!
  • "Now hold on there, Miss Paups. I know a little bit about being framed for shooting my own father."
  • Once again, Brendan and friends are confounded by confusing evidence icons and the order in which they must be presented.
  • Brendan: I’m gonna flip my shit if this was a reflected badger. (Text appears saying it was a reflected badger)
    What do you mean the building layout is wrong? We’re looking at the blueprints!
  • “...Such a legendary prosecutor is watching over and judging my performance! I’ll have to be perfect in every way!” (Beat, then Miles moans weakly as he runs away)
  • The victim for case 4? Mr. Deid Mann. Brendan is exasperated at this point.
  • Von Karma’s hamminess is played for all it’s worth.
  • Calisto Yew’s name causes numerous Who's on First? scenarios.
    Will!Badd: I was in Lobby Number One talking to Yew.
    Brendan!Miles: No you weren't, I was somewhere else.
    Will!Badd: I'll kill you.
    Brendan & Will : Why would you want to kill her?
  • The reactions to Defendant’s Fresh Milk...
  • "Criminals have a way of incriminating themselves, don't you think? Oooh, my shoulder hurts..."
  • Brendan is utterly baffled that the game expects him to deduce where a Swiss roll came from, despite it clearly having come from the vending machine in the lobby. Eventually, he starts sarcastically saying that he has no idea where it could have come from.

Part Two:

  • The Cold Open establishes what the final case is like.
    Edgeworth: It doesn't make any sense that you didn't know anything.
  • When Brendan says that Kay hasn't stolen a single thing, the others remark that "It's almost like she's generic in every way and barely a character."
  • "These plants are like my children...in the ground."
  • The characters saying that the case is almost over, to the point where it becomes a Running Gag, twice it's accompanied with estimated times until the case ends being HOURS AWAY!
    Arim: (seeing the in-game timestamp) It's 3:30 in the morning! In-universe, they've been talking to this guy for like five hours!
  • The game's incessant need to repeat itself really gets on the gang's nerves.
    "Boy, this game never uses ten words when a hundred will do."
  • Brendan's prediction of the culprit in every single case is tracked on a scorecard that pops up onscreen. When he successfully guesses all of them ahead of time the scorecard is labelled "OOPS ALL OBVIOUS".
  • Anything to do with the key/knife or the revolving fireplace.
  • “OBJECTION! YOU’RE RIGHT!”
  • Alba: “I believe I told you earlier that I went to the bathroom. I didn’t go to the room that you call the bathroom; I simply... performed the action that you call ‘going to the bathroom’.”
    • “I HAVE EXTRATERRITORIAL BATHROOM RIGHTS! I CAN POOP ANYWHERE!
    • If the diaper doesn’t fit, you must acquit.

    Miles is a Robot 
  • "Have you forgotten that the fate of your badge rests in my hands?" "But the fate of your life rests in my eye lasers."
  • Brendan decides to play Gregory Edgeworth as a Comically Serious children's show host.
  • "Chuck it in me gobber and I'll give you a blowy!" "I wanna die now, Savvy."
  • The fan translation of AAI2 describes a unicorn statue as "sparkling in the twilight", resulting in multiple riffs referencing My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
  • "The lion man is dead!"
  • RED MOLE? RED MOLE?!
  • The game's unsubtle chess motif is played for laughs, with Jello adding a Chess Counter in the corner of the screen whenever it's mentioned. They even comment that the logic chess sequences occur in a chess dimension.
    • Apparently in chess, you throw pieces together “like it’s fucking Crazy Bones until they explode.”
    • Courtney's status as antagonist is made clear: "I'm more of a checkers gal."
    • “Isn’t chess fun, Judge Courtney? Don’t you think everyone should talk about chess all the time and have metaphorical chess lives?”
    • In the end, the chess counter explodes from a chess overload. Its last words are “Miles, I love you”.
  • “Have you ever been such a bad detective that you’ve been relegated to UI?”
    • “It got really difficult to see the real fingerprints after I put my gorilla mitts all over them and rotated it in midair for your benefit.”
  • (On a victim’s character design) “We’ll have to call the Elite Beat Agents and tell them one of their number went down.”
  • The gang’s PTSD from the last game kicks in when Miles deduces the President will declare extraterritorial rights on his plane.
  • The gang suggests that Simon's monkey is the real mastermind, "doing a Ratatouille" to kill the president.
    Simon: No, Chimpy, don't make me do it! No-no-no!
    Chimpy: No one will ever believe you!
  • Jello states that he lost all footage from Dogen revealing that Simon is the mastermind onwards in case 5. As such, he had to animate a retelling of the final stretch of the game. Hilarity Ensues.
    • It opens with a Call-Back to the hell that was Alba, saying that this really will be THE FINAL TESTIMONY.
    • Dogen randomly dumps the fact that he found Dover and Gustavia's sons in a car several years ago, the cold giving them amnesia, then stating that Simon is the Big Bad before leaving without being arrested somehow.
      • Regina is Regina.
    • Simon is dressed up as a clown to signify the fact that he is certainly not evil. Miles isn't convinced, stating that Simon drugged Kate and moved her body to the top of the tower using a hot air balloon for some reason.
      • Regina is Regina!
    • Edgeworth then gives out tons of evidence, only for Simon to shrug all of it off. Ema comes in clutch with a mechanic that is extremely difficult to replicate on an emulator. This evidence is also not enough to bring Simon in for questioning for no adequately explored reason.
    • Ray distracts Simon by clapping, which works somehow, giving Edgeworth time to look for the evidence, prompting him to ask Simon if he likes... CHESS. The Chess Counter promptly explodes as everyone comes in to say "Chess." Simon says that there's a letter that proves he likes chess.
      • Regina is Regina and she has the letter!
    • Simon talks about his backstory 18 years ago, to which Agent Like Like states that 18 years ago was 12 years ago. Simon admits to being the Big Bad, but then says he never killed anyone and therefore can't be arrested. Miles brings up how he kidnapped, drugged and assaulted Kay and John earlier, but Gumshoe states that the only crime in Ace Attorney world is murder.
    • Simon says his animals will also kill them if they try anything, but that he's not accountable since a) He's not killing anyone, b) He was just making a funny clown joke, c) it's his birthday and d) he's just a little guy.
    • Edgeworth brings up how Simon called earlier to announce his intent to murder, but Simon states that he went back in time and erased the recording. Cue mass Precision F-Strike from everybody.
      Edgeworth: Are you fucking kidding- people like this game!?
    • Kay brings up many pieces of evidence that could convict Simon, but then promptly ignores all of it. Miles states that Simon killed Huang via Goomba Stomp, followed by a visual of him screaming about how the slow hot air balloon is completely unavoidable. Simon employs Implausible Deniability and questions if there really was a balloon in the first place. Edgeworth chews him out hard for assuming this, but Simon states that there is no evidence there was a balloon. Gumshoe shows up with evidence of the balloon.
      • Regina is Regina!
    • Edgeworth lampshades how he did absolutely nothing to advance Simon's arrest and how everything was done by an NPC.
    • Simon says the only way he could be arrested is if there was science on the basket. Cue Ema stating there's science on the basket and Simon exploding.
    • Everyone walks up as if they've finished a character arc, with Gumshoe and Courtney saying they didn't have one. Ray asks Miles if he wants to work for him, but Edgeworth gives him a counterproposal: Ray goes away and never comes back because he is fucking disgusting. Ray accepts.
