Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

This is the one that started it all; the show that caused abridging anime (and, on occasion, other things) to become an Internet phenomenon. With its parodying of obvious plot holes, clever catchphrases, and pop culture references galore, Yugioh Abridged has humor that nearly anyone can enjoy.

And yet, even amidst all of the hilarious and incredibly quotable lines, the Abridged Series still manages to retain the basic plot elements of the Yugioh Anime. People who have never seen the show, yet have watched the Abridged Series, actually begin to develop interest in the original series (I've seen it happen). Because of this, the series also serves as a great way to introduce your friends to Yugioh... in a way that's slightly more acceptable than usual.

LittleKuriboh, the man that writes, edits, and voices nearly the entire show, is a comedic writer on par with the best that Hollywood has to offer, and its inconceivable that he has not been hired to write for television as of yet. The humor, with the exception of comments on Mai Valentine, is suitable for all ages, and is brilliant in both its simplicity and its timing.

For those of you reading this that have never seen the series, I think it's quite obvious I highly recommend it. For those of you who have already seen the series, I apologize for being so boring and formal, and your mother plays card games in hell.

This is the best internet show ever. LittleKuriboh is a genius, well and truly. The series is very loosely based on Yu-Gi-Oh, with each character given a new persona all voiced by LittleKuriboh (Except for Jessica). The show follows the general story line of Yu-Gi-Oh, with any flaw or ridiculous point completely blown out of proportion. The show reveals what we all really think about the show, be it the shemales, ridiculous rules of the card game or how ridiculous the original actually is. I think I have laughed more over this show then I have over anything before, ever. I wish the show could become a hour long show with a new one every day, but of course thats not realistic, but I can dream.

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.

I love Yu-Gi-Oh! and this Abridged Series is everything that I want it to be. This is easily the best Parody series/movie ever!

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
