Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

This YouTube series is the original abridged series and remains the best. It satirises the Yu-Gi-Oh! show by pointing out all of its ridiculous plot holes while also adding its own humour and storylines. It's incredibly funny and I loved it.

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.

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

This is the best series ever, for starters. It hits on all of the key points of the series, for example, how can Kaiba climb up the side of a cliff with a briefcase. The quotes are amazing to, like Tristan's "No matter what happens the sun will come up in a few hours." or "My voice, it gives me super strength.". Tristan says almost anything and it's funny. I think it sticks to the plot quite well. This series has many fans, and would all agree if I said that this is the best abridged series ever. I can spend fifteen hours watching it (and I have). I love this series because of all the humor. As I have said before, this series points out all the things that don't make since in the normal series. I really recommend watching it, you will not regret it.
