** Incidentally, his least favourite is usually Téa, due to her voice being difficult to maintain.

** Rebecca Hawkins was originally voiced by LittleKuriboh's now ex-wife Abigale. She was repelaced by ColonelCheru in the second episode of Season 4, only for her to be replaced in her next appearance by Erika Harlacher.

** In [[RecapEpisode episode 35]] when Kaiba's [[EvilClown darkside]] claims to be a ghost, Yami says "Oh yeah? Well, I'm [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles the Echidna]]." That's because [[Creator/DanGreen Yami]] IS [[Anime/SonicX Knuckles]][[note]]TheOtherDarrin at the time[[/note]].

** Lampshaded in Rex's dialogue in Episode 73 (where they're more like their canon selves) that LK seems to regret making Rex and Weevil WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead. Although they turn back to normal as of Episode 82, granted at that point in the story both characters stopped appearing altogehter in the original series so it no longer mattered.

* HilariousInHindsight: During the scene mocking the Singapore dub in Episode 54, the Pharaoh talks about him and Yugi riding skateboards. Guess what the characters are going to be doing in ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS''?

** Due to health issues through the year, LK has had to delay Season 5's start from the promised 2019 to January 9th, 2021 (ep. 63 release date). Though, he IS watching the original episodes, as shown on his Twitter account.

* {{Unperson}}: Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} has forbidden the creation of an article about the series due to not meeting their notability guidelines. Just how strict is this rule? ''Every single variation'' of the series title is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Creation_protection "salted"]]. The only mention of the series is in a section on their article about abridgment, and it's only [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abridgement#Abridged_series in one sentence]].

** LK feels this way about a lot of the [[ValuesDissonance jokes]] during the earlier years and states he flat out cringes every time he is reminded of them.

* FanworkBan: On the other hand: While some of the staff at 4Kids were known to have enjoyed the series, the original Japanese producers most definitely did '''not'''. LK once recounted a story of what happened when he met some of them at a convention and the translator told them who he was. The results were not pretty.

** The ship to Duelist Kingdom making a stop on the island from LiveActionTV/{{Lost}}, which was cut because LK's editing skills weren't good enough at the time to make the scene look good, and [[OverlyLongGag it took up over half the episode]], which would have killed the pacing and left anyone who hadn't seen ''Series/Lost'' clueless.

* ColbertBump: A rather odd example. Prior to LK's abridged series, [[PopularityPolynomial the franchise had started to slip off the radar]]. The abridged series ended up breathing new life into the fandom. 4Kids themselves seemed to have acknowledged this, even having Little Kuriboh join their voice actor panels during Conventions.

* OldShame: Lampshaded in Rex's dialogue in Episode 73 (where they're more like their canon selves) that LK seems to regret making Rex and Weevil WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead.

* LifeImitatesArt: The series is cancelled by 4Kids in continuity and then it's taken off of Website/YouTube in real life. This was right after the episode that featured [=Johnson/JudgeMan=] losing a trial against Joey, and then it goes back on Website/YouTube just after the last episode defended it. Try not to think about that too hard.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Website/{{YouTube}} bots have taken Creator/LittleKuriboh's account down so many times we've stopped bothering to keep count.

--> '''Yami Yugi:''' By the time you finish watching this episode, our {{YouTube}} account will probably be taken down.

** Variation in the redubbed ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' opening spoof teaser in episode 32 - most of the characters get vaguely appropriate ''Abridged'' voices mapped to theirs, but Geordi Laforge gets VocalDissonance as he has the same voice as Serenity - a reference to them both being blind.
