->''While it hardly seems necessary to give a reason for giving the gift of comedy, we would like to express that our feelings toward Xiaolin Showdown Abridged go beyond those given to a mere parody. ''LittleKuriboh'' has written that while ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' is a fulfilling and enjoyable project for him, his greater purpose for making it is to bring attention to a great plot and cast of characters that often take a backseat to the show's commercial agenda. In this spirit, we also feel that our productions are in themselves purposeful in addition to enjoyable. Despite its [[GottaCatchThemAll seemingly]] [[FightingSeries traditional]] [[InterestingSituationDuel setup]] , Xiaolin Showdown is a one-of-a-kind show that meant a tremendous amount to us and our friends when it was on during our childhood. The series may have ended, but its disappearance from the airwaves altogether is heartbreaking and denying the growing generation a beautifully rendered, wholesome, and thought provoking cartoon. As described in its first Kid's WB promo, it is indeed a masterpiece, and deserves to live on. We know that there are many who feel the same way, and bringing attention back to the awesome adventures of the Four Dragons is a necessary mission, as well as a wonderfully gratifying one.''

----
!!Tropes

* ActorAllusion: Jack Spicer tends to say [[WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian "Bejabbers"]] as a reference to the fact that he and Dave are voiced by Danny Cooksey.
** Jack invokes this again in episode 9 & 10
--> '''Jack:''' Let's see [[GreyDeLisle Vicky (Kimiko)]], [[Creator/JeffBennett Johnny Bravo (Clay)]], [[TomKenny Spongebob (Raimundo)]] and hey, where's [[TaraStrong Ben 10 (Omi)]]?
* AmusementPark: Catatonia - Where the rides leave you completely unable to move.
* AsianAirhead: Kimiko
--> '''Raimundo:''' That settles it: Kimiko's only here because she smells nice.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The [[AllYourPowersCombined Sun-Chi Lantern]] or rather Lamp of Situationality is seen this way.
* BlessedWithSuck: The Jumping Bean Peso (Mantis Flip Coin) is treated like this.
* ButtMonkey: Omi. He's even compared to Krillin, even though he constantly says that he's Goku.
* CallingYourAttacks: [[TwoWordsObvioustrope Two Words]]: Testosterone Tackle
** [[TwoWords Two ''more'' words]]: Smartass Grab
* CaptainErsatz: Master Fung is essentially Creator/BillCosby
** Also, Daddy Bailey is JohnWayne

* GoodOlBoy: Daddy Bailey
* GratuitousItalian: Victoria!
* GratuitousJapanese: Much of Tubbimura's dialogue
* HideYourGays: Explored
** "Haven't you noticed that [[EveryoneIsGay every villain on this show is gay?]] It's almost like [[MoralGuardians the network]] is ''trying'' to associate homosexuality with evil.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: This happens to the Aperture Science Claws thanks to Dojo's contract
* JiveTurkey: Jermaine talks like this. [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Subtitles do not help]].

** Episode 11:
--> '''Omi:''' Now leave shamefully [[PlotHole without handing over the Ugly Stick that I just won from you]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: The EnemyMime is always accompanied by Panic at the Disco songs.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted by Kimiko, Playedstraight by everyone else. Was once lampshaded:

* NoRespectGuy: Dojo
* OhGodWithTheVerbing: Both with falling and crawling
* RealSongThemeTune: "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" by Lemon Demon
* ShoutOut: Where to start.......
--> '''Raimundo:''' Since this is Anime/DragonBallZ land, I call Goku.
** Episode 5 is essentially one big Manga/{{Naruto}} reference. Jack turns into [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] in the next episode.
** [[ShockAndAwe The Eye of Dashi]] was renamed after a Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
*** The Aperture Science Claws. Looks like {{hbi2k}} isn't the only abridging VideoGame/{{Portal}} fan.

--> '''Tubbimura:''' (Caught in the Guster Sword's whirlwind) Sakura! [[TheJetsons Stop this crazy thing!]]

*** No, it is not time to duel
** [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Five Words]]: [[PinkyAndTheBrain The Wuya and The Jack]]
** Kimiko recieves a [[FairlyOddparents threatmantic e-mail]] in episode 6
** Rai and Wuya even have a competition in episode 7 & 8
*** LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple!
*** AreYouAfraidOfTheDark?
--> '''Dojo:''' It's all coming back to me now. We pushed that random brick and then Master Dashi said "ah"
--> '''Raimundo:''' Ah as in "AaahhRealMonsters"??
*** "Do you know what ''this'' reminds me of?" *cue RocketPower {{homage}}*
*** And the winner of that battle:
--> '''Raimundo:''' [[RockosModernLife Snowboarding Day is a very dangerous day.]]
** [[MegasXLR "Chicks dig giant robots."]]
*** Stated immediately after a {{Voltron}} joke, no less
** The opening sequence of episode 9 & 10 is a parody of LawAndOrder

* SoundtrackDissonance: Used a few times

** And what plays while the stage is being set for the first showdown of the series you ask? TheJeffersons ThemeSong.
** Then there's the DoubleDare1986 theme in episode 5.
** The Doublemint Gum jingle was played during a fight
** And the AngryBeavers theme
** Possibly epitomized with the Crazy Bus song from WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} playing during a showdown
* TakeThat:
--> '''Omi:''' (After being hugged) Did I just get laid?
--> '''Kimiko:''' Was it like on camera?
--> '''Raimundo:''' Do you two realize JUST HOW LITTLE SENSE THAT MADE?? What is this, a Manga/{{Naruto}} {{Filler}}??
** "Give me the claws or I'll sick my [[ScoobyDoo re]][[TheyChangedItNowItSucks make]] bots on you"
*** Then came the [[SouljaBoy soulja bots]]
** (concerning the five Omis) "Even less funny than Dane Cook [[CatchPhrase at a rodeo]]......or anywhere for that matter."
** "Never! (referring to a plug to watch BlueDragon) What is next, {{Bakugan}}?
** Early in episode 11 there's a jab at FourKidsEntertainment
* TakeThatMe: "Who would be stupid enough to abridge [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown this show]]?"
* TemptingFate: "Let's go to the vault. If she (Kimiko) isn't stealing our Wu at this very moment you're clearly wrong."
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: In-Universe, Dojo's explanation of a Xiaolin Showodown.
--> '''Dojo:''' Ever try doing acid and coke at the same time? Yeah, it's kinda like that.
* TooDumbToLive: The effects of the Ring of the Nine Morons. [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Dare to be stupid indeed]]
* YouFailLogicForever: "Meet me in the copulation chamber or I'll kill myself, and then I'll kill your family"
