Ace Attorney Abridged

Not even the Ace Attorney games have immunity from being made into Abridged Series.

Get it? "Attorney"? "Immunity"?

Okay, anyway, Cardboard Lawyer has made a pretty good one, managing to turn the games into a Black Comedy.

Needs a Better Description.

This show provides examples of: "Franziska: What in the hell kind of foolish language is it speaking?
 * Awesome McCoolname: When Phoenix gets amnesia, he believes his name is Pimpin' McKickass.
 * Black Comedy Rape: Subverted. You'd think with Phoenix screaming off screen, he's being violated, but he's just not taking it well that his Tetris high score was beaten. Played straight with Gant, however.
 * Comedic Sociopath: Everyone has their moments, but Maya seems to be stuck on this.
 * Courtroom Antic: Making even less sense than in the games.
 * Don't Explain the Joke: "It's not as funny when I have to explain your own joke to you."
 * Downer Ending:  All Played for Laughs, of course.
 * Idiot Hero: Phoenix himself.
 * Mouthy Kid: Pearl.
 * Only Sane Man: Miles Edgeworth in Episode Thirteen.
 * Running Gag: Gumshoe's pay continually being cut.
 * Shout-Out: You can tell the guy's a Zelda fan, as the series finale uses numerous songs from The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask and even references that "[Maya] has only three days to beat [a] dungeon before the moon falls on us!"
 * Synthetic Voice Actor: The Judge, but with a Spanish program, even though everyone else speaks English. (except for Edgeworth's Dutch-speaking replacement Robo-Judge)

Miles: Dutch.

Franziska: You bastard! Only you would make a Judge-Bot that speaks a dead language.

Miles: I'm pretty sure Dutch isn't a dead language.

Franziska: Of course it is, you fool.

Miles: You may be more ignorant than Wright.

Franziska: Hah! Fool! Don't even compare me with Wright. My ignorance knows no limits!

Miles: This is going to be a long trial..."


 * Thematic Theme Tune: "I Fought the Law" by Bobby Fuller for the first game's cases.
 * Tsundere: Maya never misses an opportunity to beat up or have Pheonix beaten up by someone else.
 * Voice of the Legion: Dahlia and Morgan
 * You Fail Logic Forever: Played for Laughs.

Travolta3335, who is also responsible for Apollo Justice Abridged, has also made one. It provides examples of: "Judge: "I'm old, Mr. Wright. Didn't you learn anything from anime? All old men are perverts!""
 * Butt Monkey: Phoenix, even moreso than in the games.
 * Catch Phrase: Several characters have one.
 * Judge: "You lose the internet!"
 * Ema: "I'm completely oblivious!"
 * Payne: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
 * Mia: "...with a totem pole!"
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Phoenix convicts all the culprits from the first four games in 23 seconds, in a montage set to the tune of "Scatman". The Judge then declares court adjourned... for several years.
 * Dirty Old Man: The Judge. Frequently lampshaded.


 * Early-Bird Cameo: Godot, who refers to his actual debut, season 3, as "season negative one."
 * Everythings Funkier With Disco: In a certain flashback, everyone had afros, and the Judge was referred to as "Your Grooviness" rather than "Your Honor".
 * Fate Worse Than Penalization: Losing the internet is supposedly the worst thing that can ever occur to a character in the series, so much that Phoenix wishes for a ridiculous supply of them from Santa Claus to both make up for the ones he lost and the ones he inevitably will lose.
 * Meaningful Name: Subverted by Bellboy, who is actually.
 * Me's a Crowd: In the first episode Phoenix defends Ema Skye... with Hobo-Phoenix as the Prosecutor and pink sweater University-Phoenix as the witness. Guess who the victim is? Hilarity Ensues.
 * Shout-Out: The Judge shuts down a confrontation with Phoenix by shouting "I was FROZEN today!"
 * The Internet Is for Porn
