"Objection The witness is being super gross" "Sustained"

“This ain’t no drama off broadway or courtroom video game” Everyone: *visible confusion*

Edgeworth: Has a whole musical number about how Wright is wrong. Also Edgeworth: 30 seconds later is like “no, no, no, he’s got a point!”

i absolutely love how pissed off edgeworth speaks with words anyone could understand. "TALK. NOW." "keep talking or my sister will beat you."

Really fun fact: It is canon that after you win a trial gumshoe is the one who throws the confetti

Edgeworth: Does a whole song about Phoenix being wrong Edgeworth 10 seconds later: *he might be right*

Edgeworth flipping out during Hotti's testimony is the best part. "YES! THAT IS INDICATIVE OF BEING DEAD!"

I love how they reference specific sprites, there’s the objection pose obviously, but there’s also thing like Franziska’s curtsy and Larry’s pouty fists-up pose!

“So I might have accidentally faked my own death and framed Maya for murder. . .” So a Typical Tuesday, then.

15:28 When you're a rap god, but your parents insisted you go into law school.

"THEN THE VICTIM'S NOT ACTUALLY DEAD!" Such a Phoenix thing to do.

I love how when Maya says "Hey, that's me!" Phoenix looks at her like "Bruh, shut up."

The ending still proves one myth. When something smells... it's usually The Butz.

Phoenix: *presents an actual argument* Edgeworth: *shows no evidence and starts singing about how trash he is* Everyone else: Yeah that sounds about right

"Wright is wrong!" "Larry isn't dead." *"Understandable. Have a nice day."*

26:07 is the most underrated line in this. The simple “nothasnothelpfuleithuh” is perfect

the only thing wrong about this is that the judge is actually smart

3:41 - 3:52 I like how you can tell early in the video that Miles does have a legitimate soft spot for Maya and Phoenix.

Ok after playing through Ace Attorney, I think there is an underrated bit of wordplay: "We've been through worse right?" "Like Clockwork." In cases 1-1 and 1-2, the critical piece of evidence was a statue of the Thinker that was a clock made by Larry Butz, and Maya was the defendant in 1-2 So not only was it a reference to Maya's previous record of being framed for murder, it also references Larry Butz himself, and how he made a clock that ended up killing Maya's sister. Damn.

Poor maya, whether it’s a game or a fan made musical, she’s accused of murder.

“This ain’t no courtroom video game” How to break the fourth wall 101

I love Edgeworth's solo so much. Not only is John phenomenal in all of his mannerisms and tone of voice, but it's so obvious what he's doing--Miles knows Phoenix works best under pressure. The whole song is a hoax to push him to think, really think, hence the whole "Better the devil you know, Wright" at the beginning. He's forcing Phoenix into a corner. The moment Wright gets desperate is the moment he thinks outside the box and finds the true killer. That's why Miles is prosecuting the case--he knows how to push until Phoenix thinks on his feet, and how to object his points until his case is airtight. And if you watch the way John gestures while singing, you can see it too--at 15:40, right after Phoenix says "Take it easy on me, Miles, whose side are you on?", he leans forward and makes direct eye contact. The tilt of his head, the modulation in the key, the sudden sincerity, all reading, "I am on your side. C'mon, Phoenix, *think.*" It's so good. Plus, it's catchy as hell. Anyway, I love it.

I love how Edgeworth screams "Eureka!" after figuring out the case. Nice representation of the use of Logic (the best "magical lawyer superpower")

Are we gonna talk about how they successfully made a consistent, complicated, actually credible Phoenix Wright case?

"Miss oldbag..." "Call me Wendy" Edgeworth: *Did I stutter?*

The performans of Payne and Edgeworth's actors are * chefs kiss * perfection

“With your permission your honor, I would like to call *larry butz* to the stand.” “I’d like to call him a lot of things..” Love these lines

Edgeworth:All of your traps are outdated- Like the autopsy report?

“Ms Oldbag-“ “Call me Wendy~” “......Ms Oldbag..” Honestly, that’s a mood tho, don’t know why, but that is

Huh, maybe that's why Maya keeps getting arrested so much, she just happens to sleepwalk into literally every murder scene in the area.

I love how they perfectly created a case that seems like it would be in the game. All the characters are on point, except the judge might be a bit too smart

1:55 - What do you know? 4:08 - Objection! 7:33 - A single thread 14:28 - Wright is wrong 19:01 - A loser 23:18 - Don’t play this game 29:53 - Turnabout

"Ms. Oldbag-" "Call me Wendy~" "...M s . O l d b a g" gets me every time

“The victim had…no pulse 🤪” “YES! THAT IS INDICATIVE OF BEING DEAD!”🤦‍♂️ Gets me every time

“Did you just call some kind of.. Sasquatch to the stand?” LMAO GETS ME EVERY TIME

Edgeworth : "you're wrong" Phoenix : "no" Edgeworth : "understandable, have a great day"

Edgeworth: Do you think you could repeat the song you heard the victim singing, as they fell? Me: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

15:28 I’m curious how many takes this part took, seems like it would be real easy to mess up on (also probably one of my favorite singing sections of this, love the fast pace of this small section) also every OBJECTION! - 4:27, 4:36, 5:14, 5:24, 5:27, 5:29, 5:41, 6:14, 6:29, 6:36, 9:00, 11:08, 28:24, 30:05, 30:24 (he sounds so proud here) 31:05

The tension of each Ace Attorney case gives me goosebumps. Making one a musical just makes it a million times better.

“A defense attorney does not sleep in their office” “...maybe you don’t”

And then Larry was given the death sentence for his own murder.

We can all agree Payne dropped a HARD beat. Loser is just an amazing song

I like the guy who plays Edgeworth *He’s sophisticated*

This actually feels like a Broadway musical.

I was rewatching this, and I noticed that at 24:23 (around here) the Judge is doing Dr.Hotti’s like- movements? If that makes sense. It’s funny because Nathan plays both of the characters lol. Everyone did such a great job on this- and I started playing Phoenix Wright because of this a few years ago and I do not regret it.

"OBJECTION!" *hits table* "The witness is being SUPER gross." "Sustained." its funny for me lol

Ace: OBJECTION!! The witness is being super gross. Judge: sustained Me: *laughing*

“Oh no I destroyed this statue! Better fake my death, and frame one of my friends for murder!”

I love all of the character reaction poses the actors are doing. The outstretched are when they say objection, edchworths figures tapping his forehead, the hand slams on the desks- such beautiful attention to detail!

I love how accurate to the game this is starting with a trial against Payne then for the next trial Maya is arrested-

The one problem I have with this musical is that Gumshoe’s salary dosen’t get cut.

"Keep talking or my sister will beat you." That is a great quote

Props to Edgeworth. He was able to translate "OOOGH" and hand gestures into a credible testimony.

1:55 What do you know? 4:08 Objection! 7:33 A small thread/Oldbag 14:28 Wright is Wrong. 19:00 A Loser. 23:18 Don't play this game. 29:53 Turnabout.

25:21 They missed an amazing opportunity. " I am...Hotti. And my job is to examine... *The Bodi* "

"Miss Oldbag" "Call me Wendy" ... *"MISS OLDBAG"*

This is just like Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical! But shorter......

Edgeworth: this ain’t no drama on boardway or courtroom video game! Me: Errrr… who’s gonna tell them?

"Is it cruel of me to say it in song?" *proceeds to completely destroy Wright*

“I missed swimming for this” Now all I can see is his beard floating in the water like a squid

This feels like an actually ace attorney case. This is great. Never thought I needed an ace attorney musical in my life but now I see that I did.

Can we just bring up how some of them try and recreate expressions and sprites from the games in their movements and poses? The amount of dedication in this is amazing!

Judge: “This ain’t no drama off broadway or courtroom video game” Me: “mmmmm... about that...”

“Foolish Fools” *_Aw yes, the floor here is made out of floor_*

First song 3:56 Second song 7:29 Third song 14:22 Fourth song 18:54 Fifth song 23:16 Sixth song 29:31 Just in case ur like me and listen to it 24/7 and u have some fav songs C:

I'm impressed not just by how accurate are the impresonations and the trial but even the mannerisms are just on point. I just love it.

"This case is quickly going down in flames" "There's an old saying that the Phoenix will rise up from the flame" _"Oh yeah it's all coming together..."_

“I thought it was catchy” - Edgeworth 2017

has it been six years? maybe! but I’m back to adore this video and john’s facial expressions when maya’s threatening the judge are GOLD 27:15

“I need a drink” “I’d like to call him a lot of things” the judges lines I can’t- 😭😭

I’m just imagining what would’ve happened if they declared Maya as guilty. Like, I can imagine Phoenix feeling defeated, going home, and Larry’s just hanging out there 😂

I think one of my favorite parts of this is just how *pained* Edgeworth looked when he called Oldbag to the stand

5:27 This actually fits for Phoenix, as he will try to object every little thing trying to think of something on the spot

This entire video was basically 35 minutes of Edgeworth going through his worst nightmares.

He’s awfully calm for a man who just had his childhood best friend murdered

Noone: Random Encounters: *blUe baDgEr thEMe In OOoGh miNor*

After 6 years I finally realized that the professor and his 12 year old boy is professor Layton and luke

honestly winston’s song abt phoenix being a loser was rly good

Hasn't played whole game yet Maya: "Larry was murdered!" Me: *EXCUSE ME WOT* *confused screaming*

Miles is the best character ever: “Keep talking or my sister will beat you”

15:27 LOVE THIS SEQUENCE

Okay this is literally genius I've watched the entire 30 min video like a thousand times by now without getting bored. Truly a masterpiece. And also... I'm fangirling over the actor of Edgewort thanks.

"You're not a clown. You're the whole circus"-Edgeworth

nobody: literally nobody: Von Karma: FOOLISH FOOLS

sixteen minutes in, i was wondering how long the song was, thinking that maybe only five minutes had passed... ah, to get caught up in random encounters songs to the point where you don't even realise how long you've been listening to something good stuff

14:38 man breaking the 4th wall props to them

Maya: “I- I’ll channel your spirit..!” Judge: (Visible fear and concern)

Phoenix: THEN THE VICTIM IS NOT ACTUALLY DEAD Edgeworth: He might be right Phoenix: *wait what*

After 6 years this is still going good

Phoenix: Yammering? Edgeworth: I thought it was rather catchy. Me: Same here.

“ foolish fools “ Ah yes, this floor is made of floor.

I love how perfectly portrayed all these characters are to the video game, And especially the small details like the gavel and the camera shot when Maya speaks.

6 years later and this video is stil a banger

"Take it easy on me Miles... Who's side are you on??" Me: *B R U H*

Edgeworth: *Sings a song about how Wright is so very Wrong* Phoenix: Then the victim isn't actually dead. Edgeworth: Wright may not be wrong. (Edit): Don't you love it when someone posts pretty much the exact same comment as you a year later and gets more likes than you. Looking at you shotgun8632.......

Honestly, Phoenix wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble if he only remembered one thing: "When something smells, it's usually the Butz."

30:43 I don’t know why I love this scene so much. It’s just “OFFICER MEEKINS REPORTING!”

1:55 Song 1 4:08 Calls at Midnight 7:33 Searching for Evidence 14:28 Wright is Wrong 19:00 You're a Loser 23:18 Don't Play this Game 29:51 Objection
