Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

I really like the way this show mocks anime and the who Yugioh franchise. I also like the way it makes out like 4Kids is an evil corporation, trying to the the Abridged series canceled. The catch phrases of the characters are well done and I often use them in real life. The one this that does not make sense about this page, however, is the there is no mention of LittleKuriboh in the voice actors, considering he is a main voice actor, anyhow....One of my favorite things about this show is the constant references to other shows, movies and games that makes it just that much more funny. Overall this is an excellent spoof that I recommend to everyone, even if they don't watch Yugioh

Yu-gi-oh The Abridged Series, created by a lone man in England, will make you laugh. It never failed for me, an intriguing spin on a fairly uninteresting anime, with a great sense of humour, and many interesting voices that develop as the series goes on. This fairly satirical parody series will cause you to look at series' such as Yu-Gi-Oh in a whole different light; the series is great for all members of the family, with the possible exception of those under 11, and will give many memorable lines for years to come. The variety in the characters is expanded even more with the bonus episodes, such as "Evil Council Of Doom", and the incredible talent of LittleKuriboh, and occasionally, his distinguished guests. In addition to the main series, both seasons of it, you'll love the miniature songs that LK has written, copying the sounds, and changing the lyrics of various other songs. These include current songs, and slightly older ones, but all use a character voice, and either talk about his series, the original series, or the characters themselves. Overall, this series is something that nobody can truly afford to give a miss, if you haven't watched it yet, go over to youtube and do so now, you won't regret it.

Let me start off by saying, that the Yu-Gi-Oh series has been a big part of my childhood that I still hold dearly to me. As of now I still enjoy reading the manga and watching the anime as often as I can. Words from a wise woman: When I say something is good, it's good okay? That includes YGOTAS, and the original YGO as well as Season zero.

When I was in eight grade I saw a comment special that he made, which featured the characters Joey and Kaiba. Curious of what it was I watched it. I found it simply hilarious, and I checked out more of his videos on LK's original channel. I was hooked on the abridged series! I even told my friends about it (too bad they didn't know what I was talking about, since every one of them was a bunch of Narutards)!

Honestly, I don't think I would consider you a fan of YGO if you haven't at least seen one episode of The Abridged series. So, go.. Check it out now if you haven't! Well, you better get there before Youtube starts acting like Llyod, and Harry from Dumb and Dumber!

Starting from basic editing, Martin Billany basically made this parody be a mere carbon-copy of late-night adult swim parody series of their own and basically made it a parody of itself. His comedic writing ranges from tasteless mean spirited and at times humorous especially when trying to pull references from all over the net and fandom to keep the series going. Calling him a legend or this series better than the actual show in my eyes is exaggerated. It's cute but a lot of the time I felt like it was more of a spit-take series to the original property than a love letter.

If you're a fan of the Yugioh series or just like to laugh, feel free to give it a watch but try not to take this series too seriously. The voice acting is fine and the editing is excellent but the writing feels almost like it's trying to be its own South Park as opposed to a parody of the actual Yugioh show itself. Martin may be a fan of Yugioh, but his this internet show definitely fails to show it especially when he takes way too much pleasure in putting down support characters with Seto Kaiba as his mouth piece while Yugi and his alter ego Yami have become stale and one note.

I do however give him props for continuing this series despite the legal and copyright issues he'd had to go through just to keep it uploaded.

I love the show Yugioh ever since I was little. I was a huge fan, and I thought it was great. And back in 2007/08 I was so happy to have discovered this show. It's hilarious! I remember when I first watched all of the episodes, I nearly peed myself. And they're still funny 3 years later! Martin Billany aka LittleKuriboh has a fantastic voice talent, great editing, and he perfectly represents the characters with hilarious lines and references. He's a genius, not to mention down right hilarious. I always reference this and NO ONE understands, and it's hilarious to see their faces. I think this is the best abridged series on the internet, PERIOD. I highly recommend this to any anime and non-anime fans who are looking for a great laugh. Proud member since 2007.
