To Your Future Career in the Circus (The Great Ace Attorney)

As soon as I saw Barok say this I knew I was gonna dub it eventually

Anyway yeah, this is from Case 4 of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, it's not a spoiler, unless you count Barok van Zieks being *in* case 4 a spoiler, but like, why would you even click on the video at that point

So glad to know Clown University is an established institution

It's not just the fact that it's a good burn. It's the fact that he whips out a wine glass to toast you, just for the extra condescension. What a legend.

"That's it. When this is over, I'm moving to America and changing my name."
--Ryunosuke, probably.

[jaybethell]

this has to be enough evidence to prove that van zieks is an ancestor of edgeworth.

[dhans]

Barok: To your future career in the circus.
Edgeworth: To your future career *as* a circus.

[JordanAdventure]

That's a very classy way to say
"You're not a clown, you're the entire circus"

[IvoryTower]

As someone who is studying to be a criminal prosecutor, I wish I could take jokes like this and not be held in contempt, dear God the sarcastic fun I would have.

[MTown]

At least Van Zieks is more civil and polite than Godot. Van Zieks offers you a toast while Godot would’ve just thrown the wine at your head lol

[ireneshelton]

Please tell me this is an actual line in the game. The day I found out that Edgeworth didn’t actually say “You are not a clown, you’re the whole circus” broke my heart a bit.

[spritefan]

The fact that he says it in a way where it sounds like he's genuinely happy for them makes this all the funnier.

Edit: Thanks for the internet points everyone!

[Zoe-hboj]

I now know that he is MOST DEFINITELY Edgeworth's predecessor




Joke.

[viciosgamer]

Can we all agree this is the perfect sequel/prequel to the original circus joke

[qwertzy]

When the essay has a word count:

"You're not a clown, you're the entire circus."

"My learned friend is obviously in training to be a clown, the way they regale us with such witticisms, To your future career in the circus."

[dontmatter]

Von zieks had the best burns in the game. I loved this man

[rimbaarrow]

Can't wait for the australia ver.

[Pinkstarclan]

guy really said you are not a clown, you are the entire circus.

[Eyeofdust]

I like how formally he says it all

And he says it as if he means it seriously which makes it all the more painful

[andrewquinn]

In other words, you are not a clown
you are the entire circus

[drippedoutlawyer]

As Edgeworth once said: you're not a clown, you're an Intire circus

[retelefe]

He's not a circus. He is the entire clown 🤡
