The **Charlie Brown Adults** are original PBnT characters from the Ace Attorney series. They are the spectators in court proceedings and all share a hive mind and the same mumbly voice. Both Sungwon and Alex voice them.

## Appearances

The Charlie Brown Adults existed as the mumbling jury as early as episode 7 of *Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney*, but are officially named in Episode 47. They are initially also part of a band that is top of the charts, though later bands such as The Joe Darke Killings pull ahead and put them in 7th in the worldwide polls.

The CBA are also implied to be linked to some sort of hivemind. They are said to always travel together, and other characters occasionally comment on how a person becomes a Charlie Brown Adult. Moreover, during court trials the CBA will sometimes fall into a trance state where they all speak the same lines at once.

### *Phoenix Wright: Justice for All*

#### Turnabout Bigtop

In one of their few out-of-courtroom appearances, the Charlie Brown Adults show up in the opening scene of the case, having all decided to go to see the circus. However, upon witnessing Max Galactica's disappearing act, they all began screaming in terror and shouted for someone to call the police or Phoenix Wright. This persisted after the announcer stopped the show to explain that it was all just a trick.

During the trial proceedings, the Charlie Brown Adults act surprisingly mature. They talk about their own mortality and are the only ones in the courtroom to explicitly call out the inappropriateness of both The Judge and a 30-year-old puppet proposing to a 16-year-old girl. Despite these moments of sobriety, the CBAs also call Phoenix a "poopy head" and continuously chant the names of Maxamillion Galactica's three symbols, so any signs of them becoming less childish should be taken with a grain of salt.

### *Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations*

#### Turnabout Memories

The Charlie Brown Adults announce their return and the return of the Ace Attorney series to the channel as soon as the trial begins. They argue with Mia over whether prosecutors or defense attorneys are cooler, taking the side of prosecutors, and arguing she wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the prosecution. The hive mind of the CBA seems very scattered in this case, as they simultaneously wonder about whether Dahlia is relevant to the case, if her name is a pun, and if she's single. They help sing the "Here Comes the P Boy" song as Phoenix enters the courtroom.

#### Turnabout Beginnings

One of the Charlie Brown adults claims to have destroyed one side of Dusky Bridge, where the crime took place, with two giant hammers.

#### Bridge to the Turnabout

The Charlie Brown Adults get their own ending during the end credits. They are said to have been hired by Blue Screens, Inc. in the aftermath of Glen Elg's death.

### *Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth*

#### Turnabout Airlines

The Charlie Brown Adults make their long-awaited return in the second case of *Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth*. They appear as the NPC passengers of the airplane.

They reappear in the final case, flooding into the room when Lang mentions "the peanut gallery" and generally causing mayhem. They watch *Animaniacs* on the VCR player. They also accept Kay Farraday as a new member of their group but reject Gumshoe from joining. They say they like Gumshoe, but he's too serious for them and would not fit into their dynamic.

### Other Appearances

The Charlie Brown Adults underwent some changes in  *~~Major League Baseball 2k8~~* Justice for All, including a massive increase in number and higher quality appearance, thus earning them the new name "The Charlie Brown Hotties." They hate Miles Edgeworth's new nickname of "Inside Edge" and tell him to call himself "Stupid Idiot" instead. When Edgeworth defends his nickname and says it's a skater name, they argue that they all go to the skate park every weekend and have never seen him there.

The Charlie Brown Adults got further upgraded in ~~*Wii Music*~~Trials and Tribulations, where they have been split into three different races: the murderous Be-bop Adults, Muppet Adults, and Tiny Adults. The Be-Bop Adults sing alongside Phoenix's "Objection Song," but they sing a completely different song. In this game, Phoenix kills Be-Bop Adults in order to power up from their Be-Bop juice and avenge Pearl's murder.

## Relationships

The CBA consider themselves to be close friends of The Judge, and admire him very deeply, though it seems the judge only begrudgingly tolerates them.

They love Ema Skye, though they believe her name is Carla.

They love Mike Meekins, and are constantly worried about his wellbeing.

They like Gumshoe, but perceive him as rather serious in contrast to their funny and goofy attitudes.

They, very understandably, dislike Larry Butz, considering him to be a creep.

They love Maya, saying that she rocks.

They also like Zinc Leblanc II, saying so within 10 seconds of his first appearance (at which point he had only spoken in Borginian).

They grow to dislike Dahlia Hawthorne, eventually reaching the conclusion that she sucks, and throwing tomatoes at her for trying to kill Maya.

## Trivia

* The exact number of CBAs is unknown, but there are at least 30.
* The CBAs do not know what boats are.
* The CBAs love food and talk about eating at Sbarro and Arby's. They have also stated that they go to Chipotle every day.
* The CBAs also love recesses in the court, where they play on the monkey bars and trade Pokemon cards.
* It is revealed in the first case of *Justice for All* that the CBAs are all left-handed, and the judge says the probability of that is “not high.”
* It is revealed in an episode of *Trials and Tribulations* that Godot is actually one of the CBAs wearing a robot mask and doing a funny voice, but this is never touched on again.
* There is one CBA that has confessed to being a murderer multiple times (unrelated to any of the proceeding cases) in court, but he has so far not been arrested on any charges, despite the judge being very concerned, because no one can tell which CBA is talking at any given time.
