View source for Phoenix Wright Abridged Attorney

{{work}}
Not even the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' games have ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|immunity]]'' from being made into [[Abridged Series]].

[[Don't Explain the Joke|Get it? "Attorney"? "Immunity"?]]

Okay, anyway, [http://www.youtube.com/user/CardboardLawyer Cardboard Lawyer] made a pretty good one in 2008-2009, managing to turn the games into a [[Black Comedy]].

You can find [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL43E37EEA054C898D the series playlist] on YouTube.

{{Needs More Info}}

{{tropelist}}
* [[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]]:  {{spoiler|Phoenix gets disbarred, Gumshoe gets fired, and Edgeworth gets killed by Aquaman of all people.}} All [[Played for Laughs]], of course.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Phoenix himself.
* [[Mouthy Kid]]: Pearl.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Miles Edgeworth in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfOIkBHuYZ4&feature=PlayList&p=2CE6287CDF27D928&index=12 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: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'' and even references that "[Maya] has only three days to beat [a] dungeon [[Colony Drop|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)
{{quote|'''Franziska''': What in the hell kind of foolish language is it speaking?
'''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]].
----
[http://www.youtube.com/user/Travolta3335 Travolta3335], who is also responsible for [[Apollo Justice Abridged]], has also made one. It provides examples of:
* [[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 [[Crowning Music of Awesome|set to the tune of "Scatman".]] The Judge then declares court adjourned... for ''several years''.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: The Judge. Frequently lampshaded.
{{quote|Judge: "I'm old, Mr. Wright. Didn't you learn anything from anime? All old men are perverts!"}}
* [[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 Death|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 {{spoiler|a NASCAR driver}}.
* [[Me's a Crowd]]: In the first episode Phoenix defends Ema Skye... with [[Future Me Scares Me|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 "[[Suburban Commando|I was FROZEN today!]]"
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]
