History WebVideo / PokemonTheAbridgedSeries

* TakeThat: After Creator/LittleKuriboh produced a ''NarutoTheAbridgedComedySpoofSeriesShow'' short in which Iruka produced a "Dangerous Box" which "tells you how bad your material is, and produces absolutely nothing of value," Master WGS released a video in which Ash tried to become a comedian by over-killing {{Forced Meme}}s, making an exorbitant amount of {{Shout Out}}s and also some {{Overly Long Gag}}s, and finally turning into a SmallNameBigEgo. Although, Little Kuriboh apparently ''had'' given Master WGS permission to insult him like this.

* {{Badass}}: The toughest Pokémon in each trio member's party include Brock's Onyx, Misty's Goldeen, and, last but not least, Ash's (The Mighty) Butterfree.

* BlackComedy: Jessie's attempt to escape Pokémon Land involves calling 911 and exclaiming, "I'm shaking my baby to death!"

* TheyJustDidntCare: Brock lampshades this in-universe as he gets constantly annoyed with misappropriations of such terms as "psychopath" and "psychic-ologist" in relation to being psychic.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Takahata101 voiced Lt. Surge in episode 13.
** [=KaiserNeko=] voiced the Tentacruel in episode 17, and it sounds similar to ''Anime/LupinIII'' as a result.
** LittleKuriboh voiced Officer Jenny in Episode 18.[[note]]Actually, some may find him hard to recognize. He only has two lines, and neither one is funny.[[/note]]
** Megami33 of WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged and WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged fame voiced Erika in episode 23.

** The start of Episode 20 involves Team Rocket kidnapping the group and [[DeathTrap trapping them in a room]], then going through a SadisticChoice routine straight out of {{Saw}}.

* IncrediblyLamePun: The narrator once said Brock has the last name [[BarackObama Obama]]. Because of this, Brock briefly worries in a later episode whether or not he'll make a good President.

->[[OhCrap Oh, my God!]] I just realized this show has [[LongRunners multiple seasons]]! This'll take forever!

--> "That's stupid You're Stupid!"

While working on the fifth episode, Master WGS started allowing friends, such as Dark Bomber Kid and Xerostyle, to assist with the series. Eventually, they formed a team named "[=PokemonAbridgedFTW=]," which later changed to, "Box of Danger." Their current name was derived from a scene in the 11th PTAS episode where Team Rocket obtained a box labeled "DANGER" from a general store. As a result of their original You Tube channel getting banned, Box of Danger started [[http://boxofdanger.com/ their own website]], which will also contain abridged series of other anime.

** Music from ''{{Dragonforce}}'' accompanies several of the Mighty Butterfree's appearances.

** "An Electric type in a Rock Gym? [[SuperSmashBrothers That's as logical as putting a tripping mechanic in a fighting game.]] You just shouldn't do it!"

* HotMom: Pikachu lusts for Ash's mother, and apparently used Dexter to find nude pictures of her.

** [=KaiserNeko=] voiced the Tentacruel in episode 17, and it sounds similar to Manga/LupinIII as a result.

Not to be mistaken for [=1KidsEntertainment=]'s ''PokemonTheBridgedSeries''.

One day, a video-maker known as Master WGS saw the avalanche of ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' Abridged Series on YouTube, and set a personal goal: make one that was '''''actually funny'''''. Several who watched the {{Pilot}} assured Master WGS that he had succeeded, and as a result, his [[http://boxofdanger.com/shows/pokemon-the-abridged-series/ series]] has gone on for over 20 episodes. Most of the humor relies on retelling episodes from the first season with AlternateCharacterInterpretations (eg, Ash Ketchum going from naive to TooDumbToLive), even to the extent where the Pokémon themselves speak English instead of PokemonSpeak. Constant homages to other ''Pokémon'' media, such as the video games, are also made.

* IronicEcho:

* {{Leitmotif}}:

* ShoutOut:

** Squirtle spends most of that same episode leading his squad in living like ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' characters.

* TrainingMontage: One plays in episode 13, when Pikachu has to face Raichu for a Thunder Badge. However, Pikachu wasn't really training; Ash was just imagining how epically they could portray the preparation if the montage weren't "such a pain in the ass to edit."

* WholePlotReference: Episode 15 has a format similar to a ''{{Lost}}'' episode, switching between the characters stranded in Pokémon Land and flashbacks to their escape from the sunken St. Anne.

* RapeAsComedy: Caterpie rapes Misty in her sleep in episode 3, leading her to reveal that they were married apparently

** In the first episode Gary gets into a car which crashes and explodes offscreen. He later appears in Episode 11 with no explanation.

* IGotBetter: Master WGS had Ash killed by Pikachu's Thundershock at the end of the Pilot, in case he wouldn't be able to make any more episodes, and {{handwaved}} his reappearance in the following episode by saying he "narrowly survived."
