* If you inspect the model of the courthouse in Case 5 there is a sign underneath a button that says it will change the shape of the model. Edgeworth comments that "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} There's more to this model than meets the eye.]]"

* If you inspect the model of the courthouse in Case 5 (which is the same model from the flashback case in the first ''Investigations'' game that got its creator fired because he spent as much money as the actual courthouse cost into adding components for the model to transform into a robot) there is a sign underneath a button that says it will change the shape of the model. Edgeworth comments that "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} There's more to this model than meets the eye.]]"

* Examining the round table in the P.I.C. meeting room has Edgeworth say it is based off of a [[Myth/KingArthur certain legend]]. Gumshoe tries to guess it. He comes up with "Knights of the Brown Table", "Knights of the Clown Table", and "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Knights who say Ni]]".

* Also in Case 4, Sebastian mentions that his father [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} is the very best, like no one ever was.]]
** Another possible reference of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} the games]] might be when Sebastian Debeste says it would take Edgeworth a light year to understand his logic, after which Edgeworth and Justine Courtney correct him and say a light year is a measure of distance instead of time. This mistake is made by the trainer in Brock's gym as well.

* Detective Badd [[Literature/TheHoundOfTheBaskervilles notices Edgeworth and Franziska as they approach him from behind]]:
-->'''Badd:''' I have eyes in the back of my head.
-->'''Edgeworth:''' (Ah, so that mirror isn't for vanity's sake... It's for him to keep an eye out on who or what is behind him at all times.)
* [[Series/{{Columbo}} "Oh, and another thing"]] in Edgeworth's last flashback conversation with Gumshoe.

* Several Internet memes have appeared in Investigations, including, but not limited to: [[Anime/DragonBallZ Over 9000]], "relevant to my interests", the Badger Song, etc.
** '''Edgeworth''': [[WebAnimation/WeeblAndBob (Badger, badger, badger, badger... Just what does she see in these silly things?)]]
** One NPC in the fifth case of Investigations stands near a television camera and talks about his image being [[VideoGame/MegaManStarForce sent out into the wave world]].
** "I see that I'm just wasting my time with [[Series/TheAddamsFamily Cousin Hair]] here".
** Third case: Kay Faraday says [[ItemGet "Badger]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine GET!"]] a few times. ItMakesSenseInContext.
** Also by Kay on a ceiling fan (compare to musical mobile): "They're totally alike! They spin those babies right round, like a record!"
** [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes "Elementary."]] In reference to deduction.
** Miles Edgeworth makes an accusation in the style of Characters/{{Cluedo}}[=/=]TabletopGame/{{Clue}}:
--->'''Edgeworth''': [[spoiler:Lance Amano]]! I propose that you killed [[spoiler:Mr. Deacon]] with [[spoiler:the revolver]] in [[spoiler:the haunted house]]!
** [[spoiler:'''Quercus Alba''']]: [[YouMeddlingKids "And I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling prosecutors!"]]
** Even Gumshoe gets in on the action:
--->'''Gumshoe''': [[{{Malaproper}} Extraterristrial rights]]? Sir, do you really believe that [[Series/TheXFiles the truth is out there]]!?
** In the first case, Edgeworth exclaims "You fail!" moments prior to exposing [[spoiler:Jacques Portsman as the killer]].
--->'''Edgeworth''': Only two pieces? I believe the proper phrase here is, "you fail."
** And in the same vein, the fifth case contains an extremely similar moment in which Edgeworth says "[[Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire Is that your final answer?]]"
--->'''Edgeworth''': The special move today was the "Early Summer Rain Jab"? Is that your final answer?
* '''Badd''': "[[Music/BobDylan ...The times, they are a-changing...]]" He's one of the few people in the game old enough to have been alive when that song came out.
* '''Lang''': "Your diplomatic immunity... ''[[Film/LethalWeapon2 has just been revoked.]]''"
* [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames "Miles, my boy. This verdict is what all prosecutors strive for."]]
** Something similar happens in Investigations, when a young Franziska says that she will [[Music/{{Devo}} whip Yew into shape.]]
* In case 5, Edgeworth says that [[spoiler:Larry Butz]] has been the world's largest source of [[Theatre/TheMusicMan Trouble with a capital T]].
* In case 2, there's a bit of an internal reference, where examining a few books will eventually lead to reading about a "working name" for iFly Airlines. That name being [=GoYou=] Airlines. [=GoYou=] is the name of the airline in the Japanese version.
* Like in one of the previous games, we have Edgeworth muse about some evidence: [[Literature/AliceInWonderland "Curiouser and curiouser..."]]
* '''Calisto Yew''': "[[Film/TheDarkKnight Why so serious?]]"
* While checking a group of suitcases in case 2 with Gumshoe.
-->'''Gumshoe:''' [[Series/Batman1966 Holy suitcases, Mr. Edgeworth!]]
* [[WellExcuseMePrincess Well, Excuse Me]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda princess]] again:
-->'''Edgeworth''': And where were you when you experienced this... calm?\\
'''Lance''': Our family garden, of course! Where else could it have been!?\\
'''Edgeworth''': (Well! Excuse me for asking! This child is more princess than prince...)
* In case 2, examining the Mr. iFly Piggy Bank's writing will prompt Edgeworth into this comment:
-->'''Edgeworth''': You know, I've seen it occur a lot recently, and it's been bothering me greatly... ...but why does [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc nobody know how to properly capitalize and space nouns]] anymore!?
* When Edgeworth asks Officer Meekins to move out of the way...
-->'''Meekins:''' SIR! [[VideoGame/SpaceQuest Roger Wilco]], SIR!

!!''Ace Attorney Investigations 2'' (Fan Localization)
Even the fan translation gets in on the references.

* In case 2: A guard describes the sound of the alarm "[[UsefulNotes/{{WiiU}} wii uu wii uu wii uu]]"
* Kay drops this little gem in case two:
-->"It's a cage inside a cage that is this prison cell. It's like... [[Film/{{Inception}} Cageception!]]
* From the beginning of case 4: [[Series/{{House}} "It's not Lupus!"]]
* In case 4, Edgeworth comes across a lit up model of a pony that [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Sparkles in the twilight"]]. He also doesn't get the suggested contradiction in a winged unicorn.
** When Kay suggests that the hidden 51st floor might be accessed by a secret portal, Ray tells her that it's not the time to be [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} thinking with portals]].
** During another point of case 4, Kay [[spoiler:is losing hope due to being framed as a murderer and since she's lost her memory, is almost sure that she's done it and is asking Edgeworth to give up on defending her.]] Edgeworth replies by telling her: "If you don't believe in yourself, [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann believe in the me that believes in you!"]]
* Also in Case 4, Sebastian mentions that his father [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} is the very best, like no one ever was.]]
** Another possible reference of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} the games]] might be when Sebastian Debeste says it would take Edgeworth a light year to understand his logic, after which Edgeworth and Justine Courtney correct him and say a light year is a measure of distance instead of time. This mistake is made by the trainer in Brock's gym as well.
* Talking to Lotta Hart in case 5 about "Moozilla" will have her quote what seems to be a line from their promotions.
-->'''Lotta''': [[Manga/AttackOnTitan "On that day, humanity was given a grave reminder...]] of the terror of Moozilla!"
** She also describes the monster as the fiercest creature "this side of the Film/PacificRim"
* Likewise in case 5, presenting a Moozilla-related piece of evidence to the largely uncooperative John Marsh will cause Kay to unsuccessfully attempt to bribe him with candy in order to make him more talkative, causing her to remark that even her [[VideoGame/CandyCrushSaga candy crush attack]] didn't work.
* After a small spat between [[spoiler:Justine and her son John]], Edgeworth quips that children don't understand their parents. Kay counters that sometimes [[Creator/WillSmith the reverse is also true.]]
* Edgeworth didn't just solve the mystery of Moozilla, he [[VideoGame/EarthBound grasped the beast's true form!]]
* When [[spoiler: Blaise Debeste breaks down and accidentally burns his wig off]]:
-->'''[[spoiler: Blaise]]:''' ITBURNSITBURNS[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons THEGOGGLESDONOTHING]]!
* In case 5:
-->'''Franziska:''' You're always so calm and collected, like an anchorman reading a teleprompter... It makes me sick!\\
'''Edgeworth:''' (...I should probably [[Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy stay classy]] and avoid a confrontation with her for now.)
* If you inspect the model of the courthouse in Case 5 there is a sign underneath a button that says it will change the shape of the model. Edgeworth comments that "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} There's more to this model than meets the eye.]]"
* Examining the round table in the P.I.C. meeting room has Edgeworth say it is based off of a [[Myth/KingArthur certain legend]]. Gumshoe tries to guess it. He comes up with "Knights of the Brown Table", "Knights of the Clown Table", and "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Knights who say Ni]]".
* On the subject of Larry Butz going by the pseudonym of Laurice Deauxnim:
-->'''Edgeworth:''' [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet A Butz by any other name would smell just as much.]]
* In case 1, when Edgeworth presents a red raincoat to Gumshoe, he will start to sing: [[Music/GangnamStyle "Red raincoat style! Red red red red"]]. Edgeworth even comments he's doing a strange dance.
* In case 2, a guard is obsessed with a cute cat. When asked by Kay what his name is, the guard says it's [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Nermal]].
* Elbird's polar bear is named [[Franchise/{{Rocky}} Rocky]].
* When Edgeworth is cross-examining Frank Sahwit and [[spoiler:Frank has thrown his toupee at Edgeworth]] Frank will say "I'm just your [[Franchise/SpiderMan friendly neighborhood]] witness!"
** Franziska drops another one in case 4: "[[Franchise/SpiderMan With great whipping comes great responsibility!]]"
* Case 2 has a few references to some famous works in the form of a few books in [[spoiler:Knightley]]'s prison cell: ''[[ParodiesForDummies Prison Life for Dummies]]'', ''Film/TheGreatEscape [[Literature/AroundtheWorldin80Days in 80 Days]]: Based on a True Story!'' and ''[[Film/TheShawshankRedemption The Animalshack Redemption]]''.
* When you present wrong evidence during the rebuttal of [[spoiler:Patricia Roland, she may try to hug you]] which will result in Ray saying "[[Film/{{ForrestGump}} Run Miles, run!]]"
* One of Franziska's sayings is "I whip, therefore I swing!", which is a play on [[GratuitousLatin 'Cogito, ergo sum.']][[note]]"I think, therefore I am."[[/note]]
* Presenting wrong evidence during Franziska's rebuttal in case 4 may result in her getting angry and Ray saying [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey "Watch out Miles, you're turning Franny-pie into fifty shades of rage!"]]
