* TalkingToHimself: The abridged "Remote Island Syndrome" episodes lampshade the fact that abridged Itsuki and Yukata have the same voice actor and sound almost exactly alike. The characters even refer to him as Itsuki's clone until he's revealed to be [[spoiler: Creator/VicMignogna]].
-->'''Yukata:''' Hey, dudes! Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay!
-->'''Kyon:''' Why does he sound so familiar?
-->'''Itsuki:''' Hell, I dunno.

* BadassBaritone: Yuki.

''The Abridging of Haruhi Suzumiya'', by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FullmetalChao FullmetalChao]], is an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged series]] of the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' anime. Much of the humor in this abridged series consists of mercilessly [[LampshadeHanging hanging a lampshade]] on all the tropes in the show, which is effective since the original anime was pretty {{troperiffic}} to begin with. It also includes some clever reinterpretations of the characters, such as making Yuki a ScaryBlackMan, and Itsuki a child molester.

In April 2015, [=FullmetalChao=] took down the entirety of the series for reasons boiling down to CreatorBacklash. He didn't have the original video files, as they were lost in a dead hard drive years ago, effectively making this series [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes unavailable]]... until a fan provided backups of the episodes to the creator in late May 2016. The official channel hosting these videos can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Vi7zHiQsyh0gFxsMpN79Q here]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: Itsuki was this in the original series, but the abridged series takes the "ambiguously" part out.

* [[HelloNurse Hello]] [[MrFanservice Male]] [[HelloNurse Nurse]]: Yuki's reaction when she first sees Itsuki Koizumi.
-->'''Yuki:''' Helloooo male nurse! [[UnusualEuphemism I wonder how good he is at operating heavy machinery...]]

* {{Lolicon}}: Itsuki.
-->Yeah, Itsuki? This is Zeromaster: [[Manga/KOn Yui's]] legal guardian.
-->''Cue Onscreen Text:'' '''[This Implies Itsuki is a Child Molester]'''
-->Stop sending your messages on her phone, or I'll get a restraining order.

-->[[{{Lolicon}} Molesting lolis]] by daylight

** Also subverted in Episode 12, when Kyon is listening to a certain LilyAllen song.

On April 2015, [=FullmetalChao=] took down the entirety of the series for reasons explained [[http://fullmetalchao.tumblr.com/post/116965863563/what-happened-to-the-haruhi-abridged-on-youtube on Tumblr]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sqVF6MBhAM and on Youtube.]] He doesn't have the original video files, as they were lost in a dead hard drive years ago, effectively making this series [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes unavailable.]]

* [[HelloNurse Hello]] [[MrFanservice Male]] [[HelloNurse Nurse]]

* ActorAllusion: One in episodes 9 and 10 (it's rather poor though), and one in episode 11.
-->'''Itsuki''': * some of Vash's dialogue from ''{{Trigun}}''*
-->'''Kyon''': This guy has no future in voice acting. [cue pause: We luv you [[JohnnyYongBosch JYB]]!]

* [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPGs]]: WorldOfWarcraft is referenced occasionally, and Kyon is seen trying to play it at one point.
** In episode 4, Itsuki asks if Kyon plays WorldOfWarcraft:
-->Kyon: I'm more of a {{Runescape}} guy.

[=FullmetalChao=] announced that the series would be put on a hiatus. A month after that on November 6th 2009, it came back where it left off. Indicated at the beginning of Episode 10, he explained it was because he was working on his ''ArcadeGamerFubuki'' one-shot, and was finally finished... when his computer crashed. As of June 2010, he has finished abridging the first season (except Episode 00/11, which he refuses to touch). Seven months after the season finale, he decided to call quits on the series - stating it would be a satire as opposed to an Abridged Series in his eyes, had he chose to make fun of Season 2, and that he didn't want to mock TheMovie. However, he has announced that short parodies and one shot videos with the characters will continue under the title ''Haruhi MENT.'' However in June 2012, he began to upload abridgements of Season 2.

** Later redone as, [[CuteyHoney "ITSUKI FLASH"]]

-->Yeah, Itsuki? This is Zeromaster: [[{{K-ON}} Yui's]] legal guardian.

* CallingYourAttacks: [[SailorMoon "POT PRISM POWER!"]]

-->He is the one named [[SailorMoon Sailor Pothead]]

*** The main characters of said abridged series are apparently members of Itsuki's group of [[SailorMoon Loli Scouts]].

** Not to mention that it practically shares a universe with ''[[{{K-OnTheAbridgedSeries}} K-On! The Abridged Series]]'' (for which Fullmetalchao does writing/voices as well). He mentioned that if he ever to adapts the ''Endless Eight'' arc, he'd let the cast of that show play the ''Abridged Haruhi'' characters for one episode.

*** In fact, Full Metal Chao voices Yui's Les Paul, Gitah... as a child molester... [[hottip:* :a role he absolutely ABHORS]], and later has a major role as Azusa.
