* {{Foreshadowing}}: Though you probably didn't take it seriously since it fits in perfectly with the humor of the show. The later episodes of Season 2 include talk of a "prophecy" that 4Kids will try and destroy the show and Bakura, Ishizu and Marik have to stop them, Ishizu and Shadi warning the destruction of the "fourth wall" will be a disaster, and scenes of the Big Five are redubbed as 4Kids operatives watching the cast and waiting for the right moment to enact an EvilPlan.

* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** Joey and Tristan complain about how LittleKuriboh takes too long to post videos, and that they should complain about it. And Ishizu Ishtar ''explicitly states'' that she has the power to break the fourth wall in her introductory episode.
** Half of the ''series'' is breaking the fourth wall. There are jokes ranging from the nature of the Abridged Series to the fact that Bakura's ''entire shtick'' is that he's a "minor character" and nobody knows who he is.
** In fact, according to Episode 41, Shadi's job is to protect the fourth wall because, if it was broken, bad things would happen. This is an important job: Without it, man will become as the animal, animal will become as the dirt, dirt will become as the Jew. Even if that's limited to only breaks of the abridged series's own wall, he's been doing a ''lousy'' job. Shadi himself [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges]] how much he sucks at it by sarcastically commenting "Great Success!"
** Duke Devlin breaks it when he and Tristan are holding on to the blimp in the same episode.
--->'''Devlin:''' "I can't believe I'm actually gonna die in a show about f***ing card games!"
** It actually officially falls in Episode 46 with a thunderclap.
** There's possibly some more walls ''beyond'' the fourth: [[spoiler: Little Kuriboh confirmed a third season at the very end of the second, but the show was canceled by characters in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' world. Just watch the episode, it makes much more sense.]] The title of Episode 47 is ''Episode 47 - Beyond the Fourth Wall.''

** There is also Episode 35.
--->'''LittleKuriboh''': Did I just abridge my own series?
* AccidentalNightmareFuel: In-Universe. [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Zebra Dark Zebra]] according to Kaiba.
--> '''Kaiba''': And... some kind of evil zebra unicorn thing. (Zooms in on monster) Seriously, what the hell is that supposed to be? Whatever it is, I'll be seeing it in my nightmares.

** Happens elsewhere when Yami claims that Kaiba sounds like Brock from {{Anime/Pokemon}}.
--->'''Yami''': "Screw the rules, I'm in love with Nurse Joy!"
** Another Pokemon allusion: When Mokuba gets "Japanese Puberty", the first thing he says is "Bulbasaur!" That's because Tara Jayne did the first voice for Mokuba and Bulbasaur.
** Yet another is made in episode 31. The little boy who thinks he's Ash from Pokemon is a reference to the fact VeronicaTaylor voiced the same character...and didn't even bother changing the inflection she used for Ash whatsoever.
** Variation in the redubbed ''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.

When Kaiba points out that Avatar isn't an anime, he responds "It might as well be." [=GanXingba=] does AvatarTheAbridgedSeries, one of the most successful non-anime AbridgedSeries.
** Inverted slightly In the Kami-con Season 4 promo video, Seto Kaiba mentions that Eric Stewart will be attemding, and mentions only that he played Dr.Z from Dinosaur King and Brock from Pokemon. When prompted by Mokuba he also mentions Bastien from Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: In episode 15, during Tea's duel with Mai, Tea says "I'm gonna beat your bleach blond butt back to boobieland!"
* AdultsAreUseless: As Tristan says, "Don't our parents even care that we're missing?"
* AerithAndBob: Exemplified in Hank and Veronica Ishtar.
* AffablyEvil: Marik. For an evil villain, he's awfully funny and polite. Melvin, however, is a bastard.
** Also Pegasus (YMMV)
* AffectionateParody: With Episode 50 reminding us why. CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming right there.
* AlasPoorYorick: I knew him...[[CatchPhrase IN AMERICA!!]]
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Serenity's contribution to Duke and Nesbitt's Theme Music battle is the theme to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic My Little Pony]].
** And the demonic door leading to Nesbitt gets her to open it with the promise of ponies. *Twice*
* AllJustADream: Most of the [[spoiler: fourth Evil Council episode]] turns out to be this.
** The opening proper (i.e. after the originally-animated musical segment) to the ''Bonds Beyond Time'' movie where Jack and Crow have no idea what motorcycles are and are about to play a card game standing completely still on the ground is this. [[spoiler: It doubles as foreshadowing, although by the time it comes up Yusei seems to have gotten over his fear of card games that aren't played on motorcycles.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: To understand why [=LittleKuriboh=] made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo4g7jhIx5Q this re-upload]] you have to read a post on his LiveJournal, which has since been deleted and purged.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In-universe and Played For Laughs.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Almost everyone, though Spice Girls fan Pegasus is the worst. When some of the characters find out he's actually straight, ''he tries to kill them''. WordOfGod has admitted in his reuploading of episode 17 that Pegasus is indeed straight (The gaydar was aiming at Croquet, his raspy voiced servant/butler), so he probably just has questionable, effeminate tastes ("Let's celebrate by watching the Spice Girls Movie!".) Of course, he gets to [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this a good bit.
-->'''Pegasus''': Ohh, I'm so ambiguously camp!
** In fact, for the brief time Bakura is regularly accompanying the main characters, his Millennium Ring is said to have had ''Gaydar'' installed in it; this serves as a MagneticPlotDevice as it leads the group to AmbiguouslyGay villains.
*** Furthermore, Pegasus was married to Cecelia before she ''exploded'' at the altar (she's even thought to be his wife by Bakura). In fact he appears to be the only character in the series with an actual spouse, ironically.
** Bakura is not gay (his father installed his gaydar to protect him from gays) but Florence is.
** I though Bakura had the gaydar because he's "secretly very lonely."
--> '''Bakura:''' I'm not gay, I'm just British.
--> '''Florence:''' I'm not British, I'm just gay.
** '''Marik:''' "And we're not gay, by the way. Least, I don't think I am."
*** Marik has ascended from ambiguity to the TransparentCloset. That he sometimes forgets is there himself.
*** What, just because a guy likes to dress effeminately, and hang around with another extremely attractive man, and read yaoi, and flaunt his gorgeous abs, and stroke a phallic symbol suggestively in every other scene, that automatically makes him gay?
---> '''Florence:''' Kinda.
---> '''Zorc:''' Yeah, kinda.
*** Given Marik and Florence's moving duet of "Stand By Me" just before Melvin defeats them both, we can probably consider him just out in general.
--->'''Young Marik''': Somebody dropped a perfectly good comic book! Hey, this isn't like my scriptures. What is that one guy doing to that other guy? I don't know but it gives me ''cravings''...
---> (later)
--->'''Young Marik''': Can I keep the comic book? It is relevant to my interests!
--->'''Young Ishizu''': Marik, please don't flaunt your yaoi in public!
*** From the same episode as the above, young!Marik lists one of the things he wants to do on the surface as 'maybe fall in love with a handsome prince?' Apparently he hadn't yet gotten the memo that he was supposed to be straight?
*** Just watch the Leather Pants video. Marik is now officially a CampGay.
*** Episode 53- "To be honest, I'm not really used to being inside women. I don't like it very much." Yeah, he was talking about [[spoiler: posessing Teá,]] but ''still..''
*** In ''WebOriginal/MarikPlaysBloodlines'' episode 6, [[spoiler:Marik finally admitted he was gay, though he tried to take it back immediately after.]] Just in case there was previously any doubt that he is in a TransparentCloset...
** And Bakura's gaydar points to Yugi's (fabulous) puzzle. Actually, Yami doesn't really count as ambiguous anymore.
--> '''Yami''': If you're a ghost, then I'm straight. [[spoiler:(It's not a ghost - just a gay clown.)]]
--> Or one of his transformation sequences:
--> '''Yami and Yugi in unison''': Wonder Twin powers: activate. Form of: an Egyptian homosexual.
*** Of course, [[BiTheWay do we know how the Gaydar works with bisexuals?]]
** Ishizu is also possibly gay, going by what happened with Bakura's gaydar before its batteries ran out. It was her or the Giant Rock that truly understood her. Hey, maybe that's why it lied to her.
* AnalProbing: This bit of dialogue between [[CloudCuckoolander Tristan]] and [[AnythingThatMoves Duke]]:
-->'''Tristan''': Dude, do you ''want'' the aliens to probe your anus?
-->(''{{Beat}}'')
-->'''Duke''': [[FetishFuel ...maybe]].
* AndThenWhat: Yami, to Anubis in the Abridged Movie. Anubis doesn't seem to have an answer. At least, [[JustBetweenYouAndMe one he's willing to share]].
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Well, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPDQgDs7Mww Anguished Declaration of Hate]]
* AnythingThatMoves: Duke Devlin has been hinted at being this.
-->'''Tristan''': Do you ''want'' the aliens to probe your anus?\\
'''Duke''': ...Maybe.
** A dialog with Tristan in episode 48 pretty much establishes Duke as straight, but not for lack of exploring his options.
** His response to Mecha Nesbitt confirms that even robots interest him
** Heck, even [[DragonBall Piccolo]] is fine by him
* AppealToObscurity: Episode 6
-->'''Kaiba''': I mean, look at Bakura.\\
'''Mokuba''': Who the hell is Bakura?\\
'''Kaiba''': Precisely.
* ArentYouForgettingSomeone: When Téa describes her card "Shining Friendship" as having qualities from all her friends, she leaves Bakura out, and he tries to point this out to her, unsuccessfully.
** The really funny part of that is Little Kuriboh didn't make up her forgetting. ''She doesn't mention him in the actual episode''.
* ArtShift: One flashback to the first episode is done in the style of Toei's ''Anime/{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' anime, in which (among other things) Kaiba had green hair.
-->((note the quote on top of this page))\\
'''Young Kaiba:''' "Screw the rules, I have green hair!"\\
''(quick cut to the present day)''\\
'''Modern Day Kaiba:''' "Huh. Now that was just weird. I should probably cut down on the drugs."
** And another is done as a black and white silent film, with Kaiba having a twirly mustache and the dialogue [[AntiquatedLinguistics much more formal and flowery]] than before.
---> '''Kaiba:''' "[[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney My affluence makes a nonsense of the regulations!]]"
** Episode 46 has two different scenes done as original Flash-style animations. One is a lightsaber duel between Florence and Melvin (done by trainerBAM), and the other is a parody of TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody, co-starring Zorc (done by Kirbopher, who voices Noah).
** Episode 49 has the ''Boobometer'', to measure the boobs on screen. One would think it would be for an episode about Mai. No, it revolves around Tea, whose boobs got an upgrade.
** Concrete Giraffes is also done as original Flash animation, courtesy of Rocketgal.
* AscendedMeme: The English dubbed voice actors have recognized and used their respective abridged characters' catchphrases at Cons.
** 4Kids put up a vote on Facebook on what fans would like the new slogan for ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' to be. Guess what they chose? [[spoiler:CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES]]
* {{Asspull}}: As Melvin aptly points out "Mega Ultra Chicken's Secret ability which I just this second made up."
** OWNED!
* AssShove: Referenced.
-->'''Melvin''': ...Using the Millennium Rod [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic which I keep clenched between my buttocks]]!
* AttentionWhore: The filming of Marik's "magnum opus" is gatecrashed by a strange man [[TheSlenderManMythos with no face]] who just demands to be in every shot.
-->'''Hey guuuuys. Can I be in the movie? I would like to be in the movie.'''
** Dude shows up again in the third Christmas special.
* AuthorFilibuster: In the ''Bonds Beyond Time'' movie, when Paradox turns Stardust Dragon into "[[ExactWords a cwappy thwee-dee effect]]", the movie pauses for a moment and a voiceover [[BreathlessNonSequitur quickly]] states "We at ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged'' would like to apologise for the lack of [=3D=] content in this movie. However, we'd like to think this is totally justified since [=3D=] is bulls[[SoundEffectBleep **]]t and adds absolutely nothing to the cinema experience. So please, enjoy your [=2D=] movie. [[TakeThat Because it's cheaper and much less obnoxious]]."

* BadassBoast: In Episode 47, Kaiba threatens the Big Five by saying "Fool me once (Big Five teaming up with Pegasus), shame on you. Fool me twice (Virtual World), shame on me. Fool me three times, you're gonna get curbstomped by Seto Kaiba."
* BadassLongCoat: Mentioned in Episode 44 when Joey and Tristan talk about how they didn't think Kaiba's coat could get any more badass than it already was.
* BadassCreed: In Episode 47, the Big Five parody the infamous [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Team Rocket]] motto, complete with the BGM.
-->Prepare for trouble!
-->And make it double!
-->To protect the world from Japanimation!
-->To overthrow the Kaiba Corporation!

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Happens at the end of season two. But the protagonists have a chance to undo it.]]
** [[spoiler: Happens again in Episode 49, in a surprise deviation from the source material's plot.]]
* BeamOWar: "Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams".
* BecauseDestinySaysSo:
--> '''Kaiba''': "Are you trying to tell me that Yugi and I are destined to play card games with each other for eternity?"
--> '''Ishizu''': "Yes."
--> '''Kaiba''': "Best. Destiny. Ever."
** She tries this a second time but it fails spectacularly.
--> '''Kaiba''': [[[SoundEffectBleep bleep]]] [[ScrewDestiny Destiny! I am Seto Kaiba, I make my own fate!]]
* BedsheetLadder: subverted - "I sure am glad I'm a cartoon!"
* BerserkButton: "My breasts are not fake!", "I am NOT a freaky fish guy!", and eventually, "Shut up, Mokuba."
** BROOKLYN RAGE!
** Also, Marik isn't gay. At all. ''Get out of my hotel room!''
** "Friendship sucks."
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu6WxJJ_MbE Don't Call Yugi Wack.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Mokuba seems to be the villain of Season Zero.]]
** In Episode 20, Mokuba: "My brother is Seto Kaiba. I can decide who lives and who dies."
* BigBad: Believe it or not, [[spoiler: Mokuba]] is the one for Season Zero.
* BigDamnHeroes: Averted in episode 46.
--> '''Marik''': Don't worry, Bakura! This is the part where Yugi shows up and saves everybody from certain damnation...! Any minute now!
* BigNo: Joey: "I just realized--now that the tournament's over, we have to go back to school." Tristan: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO--" * cut to credits*
** Tristan gets another one much later when he discovers [[spoiler: his conversion into a robot monkey]].
* BilingualBonus: Most likely unintended, but during the "Leather Pants" song, Marik starts attempting to sing in French. However it sounds like he's saying "spoon" in a manner reminiscent of [[{{Series/Kaamelott}} the Burgund king]]...
** He's just saying "cuir" (leather) in a drawn-out manner that makes it sound sort of like "cuillere" (spoon).
** Even more so with "C'est une série abrégée!", a remake of the entire first episode [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VNI7GSxiBE in French.]]
*** French accent? ''What'' French accent?
* BishieSparkle: Marik and Bakura get them during the line "[[BlatantLies we're really]] JustFriends" in "Leather Pants".
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Season Zero Episode 2 subverts the hell out of this with Seto. Most of the episode is one set-up after another for the Seto we all know and love to hate to come out from behind the [[BizarroUniverse nice (albeit still protective of his fortune) guy facade]], but he never does.
* BizarroUniverse: Season Zero, according to WordOfGod. As if the obviously different characterizations for Yami, Seto and Mokuba, and the warping of just about every catchphrase in the regular abridgement, weren't enough of a giveaway.
* BlahBlahBlah:
--> '''Yugi''': Blah Blah, Card Games, Blah.
--> '''Pegasus''': Blah Blah Blah, Attack Mode, Blah.
--> '''Yugi''': Blah Blah Blah?!?
--> '''Pegasus''': ''Blaaaaaaaaaah.''
* BLAMEpisode: Yugi is the only one who wonders why Episode 38 (Or as he put it, a "redundant sh** fest of an episode") ever happened.
* BlasphemousBoast: Kaiba on learning that the baby Jesus doesn't have a jet shaped like a Blue-Eyes.
--> '''Kaiba''': Ha! Kaiba 1, Jesus 0.
* BloodSport: According to Steve Lunar, card games on the moon. The losers die of asphyxilation, the winners also die.
** ''"Asphyxiation," man''!
*** Yes, that is what I said. Asphyxiation.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: The effect of Joey using the Copycat card.
* BowChickaWowWow: Teá does it once.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Joey and Tristan complain about how LittleKuriboh takes too long to post videos, and that they should complain about it. And Ishizu Ishtar ''explicitly states'' that she has the power to break the fourth wall in her introductory episode.
** Half of the ''series'' is breaking the fourth wall! There are jokes ranging from the nature of the Abridged Series to the fact that Bakura's ''entire shtick'' is that he's a "minor character" and nobody knows who he is.
** In fact, according to Episode 41, Shadi's job is to protect the fourth wall because, if it was broken, bad things would happen. Even if that's limited to only breaks of the abridged series's own wall, he's been doing a ''lousy'' job.
---> '''Pegasus''': If you knew this would happen, then why did you take me to the Pharaoh's tomb in the first place!?
---> '''Shadi''': I am, how you say, kind of a dick.
** This is an important job though. Without it, man will become as the animal, animal will become as the dirt, dirt will become as the Jew.
*** Shadi himself [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges]] what a terrible job he does of protecting the fourth wall by sarcastically commenting "Great Success!"
*** Duke Devlin breaks it when he and Tristan are holding on to the blimp in the same episode.
--->'''Devlin:''' "I can't believe I'm actually gonna die in a show about f***ing card games!"
** It actually officially falls in Episode 46 with a thunderclap.
*** There's possibly some more walls ''beyond'' the fourth: [[spoiler: Little Kuriboh confirmed a third season at the very end of the second, but the show was canceled by characters in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' world. Just watch the episode, it makes much more sense.]]
**** More than possibly, the title of Episode 47 is ''Episode 47 - Beyond the Fourth Wall.''
** Time is measured in episodes.
* BreakTheHaughty: Kaiba gets a brutal one in episode 44. He goes on a HannibalLecture to Ishizu about not caring about the 4th wall and is about to play Obelisk the Tormentor. Then Ishizu [[spoiler: plays a card that allows her to get her and Kaiba to swap all the cards in their deck for the ones in their card graveyards. Kaiba basically defeated all her cards and ONLY LOST SIX. He takes a good minute just saying one long [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]].]]
* BrickJoke: In episode 31 a bird lands on Marik's shoulder (Well, Marik's mind slave, Steve the mime). He names it Mr. Tweetums. In episode 43, Melvin and Mai play a shadow game in which any time a monster is killed, the player loses memories of their loved ones. Melvin announces that he doesn't have any loved ones to worry about forgetting, but then he loses his memories of Mr. Tweetums, and takes it badly.
** When Tristan and Duke are hanging from the blimp, one of Tristan's imaginary shoulder Zack/Cody heads falls off the blimp and the other is unsure which it was. After watching ''The Suite Life of Zorc and Cody'' in episode 46, it can be inferred that it was Zack who fell to his death.
*** Shortly after that scene we get a callback all the way back to around episode three:
---->'''Tristan:''' In another few hours the sun will rise.
---->'''Devlin:''' What the f*** does that even mean!?
---->'''Tristan:''' [distraught] I don't know, but it's true!
** One BrickJoke turned into a RunningGag: In episode 19, Yugi responds to the sight of Kaiba smiling at Mokuba with "Every time Kaiba smiles, a puppy dies.". The next time he smiles (in episode 30), a caption of "+ 1 Dead Puppies" appears. The number would upgrade every time Kaiba smiled again.
** In episode 14, during a flashback to "the 4Kids version" of how Yugi and Tea met, Tea explains that she wants to save up money to become a table dancer in New York. During the credits to TheMovie, while explaining what happens to each character after the movie ends, it's explained that Tea does in fact become a table dancer.
** Also, during his date with Tea, Yami is attacking his milkshake for no apparent reason. When Kaiba and Ishizu are dueling he wonders what happened to that milkshake.
** "Oh, I get it! [[LateToThePunchline He was implying that you wanted me to sleep with you!]]"
** The very existence of ''Kaiba's Real Father - Conclusion'' is one. [[spoiler: There are also several near the end of the video, the most obvious of which is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and relates to the conclusion and a PlotHole it causes.]]
** Episode 48 opens with Yugi remarking on LittleKuriboh's British accent slipping in during Episode 6, then cuts to a flashback of said episode with the British slang and accent taken UpToEleven. Later still, Everyone Loves Mako does the same.
** Episode 47 makes a reference all the way back to episode 8, referencing when Tristan (temporarily) got a new voice.
--->'''Gansley:''' 4Kids took pity on us, they gave us new voices!
--->'''Tristan:''' Your voices changed!? That's impossible!
** In episode 48, Duke tells Tristan that he has a disease where if he doesn't "have half naked girls applied to his body at regular intervals", he'll die. In episode 49, he grabs Serenity's hand and asks her is she doesn't mind him taking her top off for a moment. Moments later Serenity is heard telling Duke, "I'm glad I could help cure you."
** In the Deleted Scenes episode, Yugi warns Tristan that quoting any abridged series not made by Little Kuriboh will get his legs broken by a wrench. Near the end of the episode, Tristan changes Duke's theme song to Ghost Nappa's theme song, resulting in Yugi breaking his kneecaps
--->'''Yugi:''' Gee, I wonder who could have broken Tristan's kneecaps. With a wrench. Specifically this one.
** In the episode when Tea dueled Mai one of her cards was the penguin from happy feet, and now in episode 49 she asked a penguin to meet him.
** "Besides, no one can hear you in outer space."
** "Zach and Cody are my imaginary friends."
** "Snot him!"
** And then from Episode 53, "Apply the handbrake you moron!"
** Also from 53, Kaiba has to admit that Yami looks damn good in a tutu.
* BurnTheWitch: Tristan, after observing some of Duke Devlin's dice tricks and leaping to the obvious ([[CloudCuckooLander for him]]) conclusion.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Inverted by Odion. When he stands in for Marik, he owns up to all the insults hurled at him and even adds a few of his own. "Malik", meanwhile, plays it completely straight.
* ButNotTooBi
* ButtMonkey: Joey and Tristan
** Bakura as well.
---> '''Tea:''' Oh no! It's the other Bakura! The one we don't like!
---> '''Joey:''' You're gonna have to be way more specific, Tea.
** Jaden Yuki, especially from Yami Yugi and surprisingly Yusei (and sometimes Jack Atlas).
** Mokuba
** Serenity in the first season.
** Yugi's Grandpa.
** [Insert Adjective Here] Celtic Guardian.
-->"I am ''so'' frustrated!"
-->"I am ''so'' bamboozled!"
-->"I'm not sure what I believe in!"
** Robot Monkey Tristian.
** Naruto The Abridged Series. Mainly due to the fact that Naruto Abridged uses a lot of LittleKuriboh's jokes.
** When Yugi, [[YuGiOhGX Jaden]] and [[YuGiOh5Ds Yusei]] team up in the Bond Beyond Time Abridged Movie, Jaden becomes this among the group.

** In a flashback in episode 50, Kemo ("The Hair Guy") mentions that he's considering taking child-grabbing classes.
** In Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Movie, after suffering an attack by Kaiba's Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, Yugi falls on his keys. Then, in episode 43, after being struck by Mega Ultra Chicken's blast, he falls "once again, right on my keys."
*** Doubly hilarious, because in the the un-Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh canon, the movie comes ''after'' that episode.
** "What a digital dummy."
** In an early episode, the gang is surprised that Bakura's Gaydar works inside of a seemingly random cave. Joey claims that gay people live in caves, and Tea claims that he means bats. Joey replies, "Bats. Gay people. Same thing." In Episode 51, they're in another cave and Joey is afraid of running into gay vampires. Yugi claims that he means ''vampire bats''. Joey replies, "I know what I said."
** Episode 52: "Tristan, put down the stick! [[RunningWithScissors Remember what happened with the scissors?]]"
*** Also, in Episode 41, Tristan and Duke Devlin end up hanging on the blimp, dangerously close to falling to their deaths... when Tristan starts singing "99 Duel Monster cards". Fast-forward to Episode 52, Joey starts singing the same song, and Duke promptly replies "Guys, I ''hate'' this song!".
** Episode 53 has Joey losing control of a truck, with his sister screaming "Apply the hand brake, you moron!" In an early flashback, Joey was teaching Serenity to drive and yelled as she lost control, "Apply the hand brake, you dumb broad!"
** In Episode 11, Yami states that he "looks damn good in a tutu." A picture in episode 53 has Seto concur.
** Remember Serentiy trying to drive a car? [[spoiler: Turns out that she ran over Noah.]]

* CardGames: The series like to constantly remind us that we're watching people playing children's card games.

* CerebusSyndrome: Although it's not really any more serious in tone than it was when it started, it's begun to have more of an overarching plot besides being "just" a parody series. One that strays almost completely from the original series' plot, no less. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that anyone is complaining.]]
* [[BobFromAccounting Chad From Accounting]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Everybody, and it's just funnier that way.
* ChewBubblegum: "I'm here to kick ass and play card games, and I'm all out of cards." Yugi immediately gives Kaiba his deck back however. A couple of other variations on the line are used.
** Bakura: I'm here to kick ass and drink cups of tea. And I'm all out of tea.
** Yami: I'm here to kick ass and play card games, and I'm all out of ass.
* ChristmasSpecial: Three of them. One is a Christmas Carol spoof starring Kaiba. The second is... something else. Let's put it this way: half of it tells the tale of "Slavemas" by means of an AffectionateParody of ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''.
** The third is the story of the birth of Jesus, as told by [[AbusiveDad Hank]] [[CloudCuckoolander Ishtar.]]
* CircleOfFriendship: Parodied. "Téa...is that permanent marker?"
* ClipShow: Episode 35. "Did I just abridge my own series?"
* ClusterFBomb: Yami does this in episode 25:
--> '''Yami''': Huh? Yugi, you little [bleep]! You son of a [bleep]ing [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]! ''(Téa overhears)'' I'm going to tear off your [bleep] and shove them right up your [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] and then [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] on your [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] with [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] in the [bleep] [bleep] and [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] your [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] so then you'll have to [bleep] sideways!

** Marik in "Marik's Council of Doom" often slips into multiple F Bombs while berating his associates, using his own SoundEffectBleep. One particularly hilarious moment was when he received a prank call during the 2nd council meeting:
--->'''Marik''': "Yes, what the '''''[[SoundEffectBleep (EFF)]]''''' is it?"
--->'''[[FillerVillain Dartz]]''': "Hello! Is your refrigerator running?"

** This [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAM3rbNIr4w one]] too.
** Also subverted by Marik:
--->"Frig the frigging friggers to frigging hell!"
** Britishly subverted by Florence:
---> "How the bloody hell am I supposed to bloody summon a card I don't bloody have?!"
*** So, do we call that a [[IncrediblyLamePun Bloody Cluster Bomb?]]
* CockFight: Tristan Taylor vs Duke Devlin. FIGHT!
---> "You just brought sexy back for the last time!"
* ComedyThroughSuperiorFirepower: The whole series, but the clip show of episode 35 is the best example.
** Perhaps an even better example is the remastered first episode. Even after incorporating the theme song and stinger that all current episodes feature, it's still ''shorter'' than the original.
* CompellingVoice: Marik, though it only works on people called "Steve". Melvin claims to be able to do it to anyone, but it doesn't seem to work.
-->'''Melvin:''' I am in control of your mind!\\
'''Yugi:''' No you're not.\\
'''Melvin:''' That is exactly what I ''wanted'' you to say, mind slave!\\
'''Yugi:''' Look, we're not intimidated by your silly behavio-\\
'''Melvin:''' I am the king!\\
'''Yugi:''' [[YoureInsane ...You're a]] [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail loony]].\\
'''Melvin:''' [[CatchPhrase Binky-boy.]]
* CompensatingForSomething: Kaiba.
--> '''Kaiba:''' Quiet Mokuba! [[TakeThat I'm busy flagging]] YouTube [[TakeThat videos to compensate for the fact that I have an extremely small penis!]]
* ContinuityNod: Like Tristan and Marik before him, Kaiba also sings a theme-song while riding his motorcycle.
* [[ConvenientlyEmptyBuilding Conveniently Empty City]]: Jaden points this out as he is being attacked by the main villain of the ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'' movie.
--> '''Jaden:''' It's a good thing Venice is apparently '''''empty'''''! Or that might've been kind of dangerous.
* CookingDuel: In Episode 51, Duke and Nesbitt have a Theme Music Battle.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In Episode 46, the members of the 4Kids board all have different ideas about what to do with the cast now that [[spoiler: the show has been canceled]]. Death by drowning! Death by robots! Death by justice! Death by bad publicity! ''Death by penguins!''
*** Also FridgeBrilliance[=/=]{{Foreshadowing}} if you remember what Deck Masters the five use in the Virtual World arc. Yes, one of them uses a penguin monster.
**** So what precisely does Jinzo have to do with bad publicity?
***** Jinzo's power in the abridged series is destroying internet references.
* CouchGag: Yami's opening line is often a quick one-liner, and as of Episode 35 the cards flying across the screen bear different pictures.
* CrackIsCheaper : [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUEIUnxLmX4 "Trading cards: they're cheap and legal. And you can't get arrested for selling them to kids."]] [[invoked]]
* CrackPairing: In-Universe. "Téa ships [[Literature/HarryPotter Harry/Hedwig]], by the way."
* {{Crossover}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj6F_piB_HE&feature=sub This video]], with [[spoiler:''TheSlenderManMythos''.]] Just as ludicrous as it sounds.
* CrossoverPunchline: With WebOriginal/DragonBallAbridged a few times.
* CrossoverShip: In-Universe. [[SilentHill Pyramid Head]]/[[ResidentEvil Nemesis]]. Funniest. Shipping. Ever.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Tristan, especially in the Battle City episodes.
* {{Crunchtastic}}: The opening to Episode 5. ("Yugi-licious? Are they supposed to taste like Yugi or something?")
* CurseCutShort: several examples.
-->'''Téa''': "[[AmericanPie And then this one time at duel camp I put my deck in my]]" --\\
'''Yugi''': "Hey, what's that?"
** Of course, the Paradox brothers get these by the truckload
** It happened to them again in the clip show episode.
** See also LastSecondWordSwap, below.
** Averted (kind of) in one episode after Ishizu effectively cripples Kaiba's deck in one turn.
--> '''Kaiba''': "Fuuuuu-"
--> *cut to a different scene, then back to Kaiba*
--> '''Kaiba''': "-uuuuck!"
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Bakura ends up in the hospital with "Wanker's cramp" ("the deadliest of all British diseases").
** See also: episode 30.
*** "Avoid wanker's cramp, know your limits!"
* ADayInTheLimelight: A few of the episodes revolve around Joey, Bakura and others wanting to kill Yugi (or at least get him out of the way) so that ''they'' can [[HostileShowTakeover become the main characters]].
** Episode 33 is Mako's day in the limelight. He spends it harpooning people. That freaky fish guy.
*** [[CatchPhrase I am NOT a freaky fish guy!]]
** And episode 37 revolves entirely around Bakura. "It's the, Bakura Show. He is, EVIL."
*** [[DarkKnightTrilogy Why so British?]]
*** So it was his [[IncrediblyLamePun Day In The Limeylight]]?
** Very much {{Lampshaded}} in episode five.
--->'''Yugi''': (About Joey) He's just excited because this is the first episode that actually revolves around his character.
--->'''Tristan''': I can't wait until I get ''my'' own episode!
--->*crickets chirping*
--->'''Tristan''': It's never going to happen, is it?
--->'''Tea''': Do the words "robot monkey" mean anything to you?
[[/folder]]

[[folder:D]]
* DeadLittleSister: This is the motivation behind Joey's laughably ineffectual run at the Duelist Kingdom jackpot, though Serenity isn't actually dead, just blind... or something.
* DeathByIrony: [=CardGamesFTW=] had its videos taken down and was banned altogether (not by 4Kids, though) after the fiftieth episode, in which Joey justifies his reasons for having the Abridged Series stay up. Then subverted, when [=LittleKuriboh=]'s account became un-banned. Then re-straightened when the account was banned yet again by the same bot. It's gotten to the point where someone really needs to get YouTube to put some CAPTCHA on the copyright claimers.
* DeathByOriginStory: This trope claims Cecelia Pegasus and Hank Ishtar, and nearly gets Pegasus himself too before [[UnexplainedRecovery he got better]].
* DepravedBisexual: "What would Yugi do?" gives us this dialogue:
-->'''Yami''':That's what she said. Or he. I could go either way really. And that's also what she said.
-->'''Yugi''': You are so depraved.
-->'''Yami''': At least I'm not deprived. Of sex. Like you will be if you don't pipe down, little man!
* DepravedHomosexual: Melvin and Florence for sure, possibly Marik too.
* DevilInPlainSight: Bakura's introduction.
-->'''Bakura''': "Here's my favorite card." ''(Holds up a card with a picture of [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] to [[OminousLatinChanting Ave Satani]].)'' "Oops, wrong one!"
** Marik completely screws this one up but Yugi and his friends are so oblivious they don't even notice it.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud, combined with MostDefinitelyNotAVillain:
-->'''Marik''': ''(In front of Joey and Téa)'' "Those fools have no idea that it is really I, the evil Marik Ishtar, who plans to turn them against their best friend, Yugi Moto, so that I can rule the world! "
-->'''Joey''': "Malik, we can kinda hear everything you're saying."
-->'''Marik''': "Oh, '''''[[SoundEffectBleep (EFF)]]''''' it. Minions! ''(three Steves appear)'' Beat their collective asses!"
* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: Subverted. Florence uses words like "bloody" quite a bit (including one [[ClusterFBomb Cluster Bloody Bomb]] in a later episode), but his writer, LittleKuriboh, is himself British. Hence the ridiculous amount of British slang used.
** The whole point is that he's poking fun at the DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch trope, rather than just because he's British.
* DidntWeUseThisJokeAlready: In episode 33, the "L'Oreal, because I'm worth it!" joke is reused, and Bakura says "I think we did that joke already."
* [[DieChairDie Die, Milkshake, DIE!]]
* {{Dissimile}}: "Wow, an entire island all to ourselves. It's sorta like that book, "Lord of the Flies," only with a lot less subtext and a lot more card games."
** Also, playing a children's card game is like making love. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Somehow.]]
*** "Because you do it on a table and feel deeply ashamed afterwards"
** Kaiba: (Referring to the 10th Anniversary Movie '''In 3D''') Just like James Cameron's Avatar, only instead of intergalactic smurfs fighting giant robots...it's a children's card game.
** Wow, this just like Tron, except with less motorcycles and more card games.
* DirtyOldMan: Crump
** Also possibly Grampa, after what Yugi presumably witnesses: X-rated acts by his senile grandfather to a poster of the Black Luster Soldier.
* DiscreditedMeme: Littlekuriboh has been trying to do this to the "card games on motorcycles" meme he created himself. In "Seto Kaiba VS The World", Lecter demonstrates Jinzo's anti-meme powers by destroying it, and adds that he's been waiting a whole year for the chance. [[invoked]]
* DistressBall: Mokuba. Also in the original, but naturally the abridged series [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the hell out of it.
* TheDitz: Tristan. Sometimes Joey... but mostly Tristan.
** And his voice.
* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: Sort of. In Kaiba's ([[FilkSong sung]]) opinion, his voice sounds "just like Solid Snake from ''MetalGear''." In Yami's opinion, well...
-->'''Yami:''' Hey, everybody, I'm Seto Kaiba! I have a dragon fetish and I sound like Brock from ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}''!
** The joke being, of course, that [[VocalEvolution they're both right]] - Kaiba and Brock are both voiced by Eric Stuart, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY8ZnAqUdgU LK's take on at least ''one'' Snake]] sounds a lot like his current rendition of Kaiba.
** Bakura asks this when Melvin [[LargeHam hams up them both playing a Shadow Game]], saying he must have sounded like a total wanker. Marik agrees.
* TheDogShotFirst: Mentioned in the stinger at the end of the first episode redub.
-->LK: [at least I didn't make Greedo shoot first.]
* DontExplainTheJoke: Episode 16.
--->'''Mokuba''': By the way, this is a [[TwoThousandOne 2001]] parody.
** Episode 30.
--->'''Arkana''': You'll regret those words once you realize that this duel is about more than cards; it's also about survival! Because, in case you hadn't already guessed, this episode is a parody of the {{Saw}} franchise!
** The RunningGag of "It is funny because 'wang' means penis!"
* DontYouDarePityMe
--> '''Kaiba:''' Are you ''sympathizing'' with me?
--> '''Yugi:''' Well, yeah, I mean--
--> '''Kaiba:''' Well stop doing that! I hate it.
* DoubleEntendre: "Leather Pants" has plenty of these. Especially when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-leX2XGODc sung by a woman]].
* DownerEnding: Hilarious versions can be found on occasion. Notably, episode 49 where [[spoiler: Crump defeats Tea and claims her body, which is the exact opposite of what happened in the actual anime.]]
* DracoInLeatherPants: In-Universe. "Now do you understand why so many people love me even though I'm the biggest dick in this entire show? It's because I'm Seto-freaking-Kaiba. [[JackieBrown Accept no substitutes!]]"
** Later on, Florence ends up wearing Yami's [[VisualPun Leather Pants]].
* DrFeelgood: Joey's doctor after he's struck by lightning in the face.
* DrinkingGame: In-universe, Episode 36, which tells the viewers to take a drink everytime the word "friendship" or "friend" is said, while a counter on the lower right corner keeps track. [[spoiler:By the end of the episode, it's at 20.]]
** In the third anniversary video, Marik keeps trying to create one for him and Florence, but without any luck.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: In episode 37
-->'''Florence:''' Oh, great. Now the fangirls have started invading my ''dreams'', too.
-->'''Marik:''' ''WHAT!?'' It's ''me'', you fool! Do I ''look'' like a '''''[[SoundEffectBleep (EFF)]]'''''ing fangirl?
-->'''Florence:''' You ''really'' don't want me to answer that.
** Florence himself qualifies.
** Episode 54 has this:
--> '''Joey''': Yug I don't know to tell you this but Marik's a guy.
--> '''Yami''': What? That's crazy!
--> '''Joey''': I know.
--> '''Yami''': But look at the way she dresses.
--> '''Joey''': Totally a guy.
--> '''Yami''': that's crazy! What about Bakura is she a-
--> '''Joey''': Bakura's a guy.
--> '''Yami''': That's crazy!
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Duke Devlin on the comatose Mai:
-->'''Duke''': Wanna know the best thing about unconscious chicks? [[SailorMoonAbridged They can't say "no".]]
-->''[Everyone stares at Duke]''
-->'''Duke''': What? Oh ya, like ''I'm'' the only one thinking it!
** A non-sexual variant comes up when Yami and Joey are dueling the Big Five possessed Tristan.
-->'''Yami''': Huh, five men in one body, eh? Sounds like a typical day for Mai Valentine. Am I right?
-->'''Joey''': [[DudeNotFunny Yug, she's in a coma!]]
-->'''Yami''': Am I right?
-->'''Joey''': It's just very inappropriate, is all.
-->'''Yami''': But am I right?
-->'''Joey''': Yugi!
-->'''Yami''': Joey! [{{Beat}}] [[CrossesTheLineTwice Am. I. Right?]]
* {{Eagleland}}: Bandit Keith, of course. [[hottip:* :... though he's actually Canadian.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:E]]
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Zorc, who appeared a whole ''two hundred episodes'' before he actually does.
** In the Abridged Movie, Noah Kaiba is "Best Boy" in the credits.
** Dartz and his gang of Evil Motorcycle Riding Henchmen.
* EarWorm: In-Universe. Marik is shown clutching his forehead in pain as Melvin takes over... all while the theme to ''Beverly Hills Chihuahua'' plays in his skull.
--> '''Marik''': [[SarcasmMode Thanks, Odion. Thanks a bunch.]]
* EffeminateMisogynisticGuy: Marik loudly proclaims himself the most effeminate guy around, and generally disdains women. Of course, given the women's characterization...
* EldritchAbomination: Toon Summoned Skull
--> '''Yami''': "It's like something out of H.P. Lovecraft...only gay!"
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Paradox, villain from ''Bonds Beyond Time'', on top of being a [[DextersLaboratory Mandark]] expy.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Marik varies from calling Yami Bakura "Florence," "Fluffy," and one time even "Kitty." Technically "Florence" isn't a nickname, as it was [[RetCon retconned]] to being Yami Bakura's actual name, but before the retcon it would've been this.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Threatened almost every second episode, usually by either Shadi, Ishizu, or Marik.
* EnemyMime: When facing a duelist who is being mind-controlled by the villain:
--> '''Yami''': He's still a human being!
--> '''Marik''': He's also a mime.
--> '''Yugi''': [[AcceptableTargets Oh. In that case, yeah, I'll kick his ass]]!
* EsotericHappyEnding: In-universe. Yami's story, "How the Thief King Stole Slavemas," ends with the Pharaoh making every day into Slavemas.
-->'''Yugi''': Huh, I was expecting a happy ending.\\
'''Yami''': What are you talking about? That ''was'' a happy ending.\\
'''Yugi''': Yeah, but only for the Pharaoh. Everybody else was miserable.\\
'''Yami''': What's your point?
* EspeciallyZoidberg:
-->'''Melvin''': I have doomed you to exist in your own worst nightmare: a world where everyone's breasts are bigger than yours!\\
'''Mai Valentine''': Even Tristan's?\\
'''Melvin''': Especially Tristan's.
** And two episodes before:
-->'''Croquet''': Yeah...Everyone involved with the Egyptian God Cards is now dead.\\
'''Pegasus''': What? Even Chad from accounting?\\
(Cut to clip of Chad from accounting being thrown out a window)\\
'''Croquet''':''Especially'' Chad from accounting.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Duke comments on Mai...
-->'''Duke Devlin''': I know how she feels. Guys are proposing to me all the time.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Episode 7, even after Yami killed a gay clown.
* EveryoneIsBi: ...They are.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Subverted at the end of episode 46; when [[spoiler: 4Kids is discussing how to take care of the cast now that the series has been "cancelled,"]] Crump suggests "Death by Penguins!" Noah goes on to remark "Hm... all of these are very good ideas, very good ideas indeed, except for yours, Crump, that was dumb and so are you."
** In Episode 49, [[spoiler:we get to see Crump in person, and it turns out that he is, in fact, a human-sized penguin wearing a tuxedo. Crump loves penguins in every way possible, platonically and [[{{Squick}} physically]]. When he was a kid he practically worshipped penguins. And now that he's grown up, he intends to achieve his lifelong dream to become... a young teenage girl in ''Japan''.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Subverted in that everyone is freaked out that the princess in the video game is based on Mokuba.
* EvilForeigner:
** The Egyptians: Marik, Ishizu, and Shadi. Marik is definitely evil; Ishizu is a well-meaning asshole at best; and Shadi is "how you say, kind of a dick."
*** Odion's still Egyptian (well, probably) and he's still a stand up guy, if very bland.
** Americans aren't treated much better. Bandit Keith is an out-right jerk, Rebecca Hawkins is a snooty child prodigy with a teddybear possessed by a demon, and Jean Claude Magnum is a member of the Church of Scientology.
* EvilIsCool: In-universe. Kaiba has "the best outfits", "all the cool gadgets," and is "the only reason people watch this show" (as he claims in TheMovie, while going [[AnimatedActors wildly off-script]]).
* EvilIsNotAToy: Pegasus realizes this only ''after'' he makes and markets toys out of an ancient evil... and continues using it to make boatloads of money anyway.
* EvilIsSexy: In-universe; Tea is quite into Marik when she first meets him.
* EvilVsEvil: Florence and Marik vs Melvin and Team Four Kids.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:F]]
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: Marik, at the end of the 3rd Anniversary video:
-->'''[[NarutoTheAbridgedComedySpoofSeriesShow Naruto]]''': The presents have arrived! ''(brandishing a ticking time bomb)'' This one's from TeamFourStar! I don't know how yet, but I'm going to smoke it!\\
'''Marik''': Ooo! New DrinkingGame! Every time we all explode and die, we take a--\\
'''''(BOOOOOOOOOM!!!)'''''
* FailedASpotCheck: Yugi never knows what time it is! [[spoiler:He should try looking up and to his left.]]
* FakeAmerican: The actor is actually English.
** It's fairly easy to tell early on too. The biggest example is episode 6, "Everybody Hates Mako", [[OohMeAccentsSlipping where Yugi suddenly has a distinct English accent]] while he's yelling at Mako for lobbing a freakin' harpoon at him.
*** In Episode 48, we have a call back to that moment, which is then exaggerated to a ridiculous extreme.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms:
-->'''Thug''': "Don't move a muscle or we'll shoot you with our invisible guns!"
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in episode 47. When Noah tells the cast to start walking and threatens them with rows of automated guns, they don't believe them:
--->'''Kaiba''': Get real! What are those? Guns that shoot magical bullets that send us to the Shadow Realm?
--->'''Joey''': Yeah, knowing 4Kids they probably just shoot harmless rubber bullets that don't even...
--->''[Guns spray the area with very real bullets]''
* FanBoy: One appears in Episode 31 and [[spoiler: runs off with Joey's duel disk,]] though he gives it back. He did [[spoiler: sneak a card into his deck]] in the end, as well as being revealed to [[spoiler: work for Weevil.]]
* {{Fanfic}}: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/134036/Little_Kuriboh LK's actually written some,]] most recently a slash fic with the abridged versions of Marik and Bakura. I am not making this up. It's actually pretty good.
** He created another Thiefshipping fic, this time it's more of a [[TearJerker tear jerker]].
* {{Fanservice}}: The boys lose all focus whenever [[MsFanservice Mai Valentine]] shows up. Also, episode 16 is actually titled "Fanservice", and interrupts the story with Mai sitting by herself and saying, "Fan-service!" every few minutes (and then we get Bandit Keith's profoundly disturbing "fanservice... in America!").
** "I agree with Mai's boobs."
** "And now it's time for some Bakura fanservice- oh, bugger. It's the credits. Oh well, maybe next time."
* FateWorseThanDeath: ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''
* {{Fetish}}: When Téa is mind controlled by Marik, Yami exclaims that it's horrible, "yet strangely erotic."
** Yugi has a big fetish toward Dark Magician Girl.
** Yugi's Grandfather has a "forbidden love" for the Black Luster Soldier.
** Bakura likes knives. They make him feel all tingly.
*** And severed fingers.
** Marik: Icecube fetish, hahahaha!
*** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ObeyMyRod his youtube account]] lists him as disliking being whipped, but only most of the time.
** Kaiba's turn-ons apparently include: dragons, acts of indiscriminate evil, technology, and extremely overpowered cards from a children's card game.
** Joey's [[TheNotSecret secret]] furry fetish.
** Crump ''really, really, really'' likes penguins.
* FilkSong: Enough to conceivably make an entire CD. Lady Gaga seems to be a popular target for filkification.
** Yu-Gi-Oh: Music to Duel By!
* [[FinalLoveDuet Final Hate Duet]]: The ending of Season 2.
* FissionMailed: [[spoiler: Episode 46. It looks like the show has actually been canceled, complete with casting credits, but then you notice that the last 6 roles are all question marks. Cue TheTag, with Noah and the Big Five deciding that now that the show has been canceled, they have to figure out what to do with the characters - which will be seen in Season Three.]]
* FlatWhat: Rafael's perfectly understandable reaction to Dartz, aka Rainbow Head's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpTONlSiI5U newest idea]] for defeating Yu-gay Mo-toe. [[spoiler: They're gonna take his deck.]]
** A [[RunningGag staple]] of most segments containing [[Anime/YuGiOh5DS Jack and Yusei]].
---> '''Yusei''': There's something you should know.
---> '''Jack''': What is it Yusei?
---> '''Yusei''': I came-
---> '''Jack''': WHAT?
---> '''Yusei''': -To this city-
---> '''Jack''': Oh.
** And from the ''Bonds Beyond Time'' movie we have...
---> '''Jack''': Yusei! Show him your Junk!
---> '''Yusei''': What?
---> '''Jack''': Warrior! Your Junk Warrior!
---> '''Yusei''': I have a better idea... C'MON OUT, STARDUST DRAGON!
---> '''Jack''': Okay, now [[ThatCameOutWrong whip out your junk and wave it at him]]!
---> '''Yusei''': ''What!?''
---> '''Jack''': [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Warrior]]!
* FlawExploitation: Crump knows ''exactly'' what to say to goad Téa into dueling him.
* FollowTheLeader: The far-too-many-to-list Abridged Series that cropped up after this. For a while, only about two of them came anywhere close to quality. [[FromClonesToGenre That's changed a bit.]]
** Ishizu Ishtar Lampshades this:
--->'''Ishizu:''' "I predict all the jokes you just heard will soon be appearing in somebody else's abridged series. You know the one."
** Also, he tributes [[ClipShow Episode 35]] to all the other abridged creators.
** The released Abridged Trailer of the [[Anime/YuGiOhTenthAnniversaryMovie Tenth Anniversary Movie]] includes this Gem from Paradox:
--->"So many Abridged Series... the Internet couldn't take them all."
* ForcedMeme: ''KROOOOOOZE.'' Though this is outside of the actual episodes, being in unrelated videos.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Ej7M3xWjY CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!]]
** Another example, "BrooklynRage", is a DoubleSubversion. In episode 28, Joey introduced the phrase and tried to make it a meme in-universe. Yami shot it down hard, and it was rarely mentioned again afterwards in the main series. Out-of-universe, however, it rapidly attained MemeticMutation. (It's been suggested that this happened ''because'' [=LittleKuriboh=] didn't try to force it as a meme; people don't like {{Forced Meme}}s very much.)
*** Not to mention that the few times he did mention it, it was always a variation. YMMV, but this makes it even funnier, because it's unexpected.
---> Joey: "He said fury. As in Brooklyn Fury."
---> Joey: "You know, it's enough to make a guy angry. So angry that you might call it rage. Rage that is specifically located in the westernmost county of Long Island, New York. Also known as BROOKLYN!"
* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Tristan is such a TheDitz in this series it's jarring when he acts like the badass he really sort of is on the real show.
* ForMassiveDamage: following the phrase "giant enemy dragon."
-->'''Kaiba:'''"Blue-Eyes, [[AttackItsWeakPoint attack his weak point]] for massive damage!"
* FourKidsEntertainment: Mercilessly mocked at every available opportunity; interestingly, the [=4Kids=] crew are apparently fond of the series and weren't responsible for its removal from YouTube.
** {{Filler Villain}}s the Big Five are in the employ of [=4Kids=] as of Episode 37.
*** [[spoiler: As is Melvin.]]
* FreudWasRight: The duel between Yugi and Weevil is loaded with phallic imagery.[[invoked]]
-->'''Yami:'''"Watch as my knight's mighty lance penetrates your moist cocoon!"
* FunWithSubtitles: See GagSub below.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:G]]
* GagDub: The series itself, but in the teaser for one episode Little Kuriboh dubbed part of ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', specifically the PreviouslyOn for one episode. The funny part, he used his various voices but the dialogue was exactly the same.
* GagSub: Three times so far: episode 9 has the official Spanish dub for the beginning portion (with completely inaccurate/irreverent subtitles), while in episode 10 it suddenly gains an opening theme (to the [[NeonGenesisEvangelion NGE]] opening music, with the subtitles twisted into ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' references). Neither of those, however, can match "The Other Abridged Movie" subtitling - both the opening and ending theme songs are a long string of {{Mondegreen}}s.
* GenrePopularizer / FromClonesToGenre: There are enough AbridgedSeries that it's just a genre now. You can tell because people are ripping off jokes from lesser known series, not just the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' and ''Naruto'' ones.
* GenreSavvy: Virtually ''every'' character in this series. Both Yugis and Marik should be noted and Florence has recently been revealed to be DangerouslyGenreSavvy.
** "Why do we have to challenge him to a children's card game? Why can't we just push him off the boat?"
*** No! The card game is essential to the plot! The ''evil'' plot!
* GentleGiant: Odion, given that he likes the GummiBears.
** Also Zorc, his tendency of destroying the world notwithstanding.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: A demonic one.
* GlamourFailure: Lampshaded in episode 32.
--->'''Yugi''': "I only just realized, Pharaoh, that you haven't got a reflection! Is there something you're not telling me?"
--->'''Yami''': "Yugi, I'm an ancient spirit living inside your body. Of course I don't have--"
--->'''Yugi''': "Don't lie to me! You're a vampire, aren't you?"
--->'''Yami''': "It's the middle of the day!"
--->'''Yugi''': "That proves nothing!"
--->'''Yami''': "I never should have let you read ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''!"
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: ''WHY AM I SPEAKING FRENCH?!''
** ''I DON'T WANT TO BE FRENCH!''
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Well...not exactly. Tristan's consciences are [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Zack and Cody]]. And they're both as ChaoticStupid as he is.
** The floating heads also [[TwinSwitch can't remember which is Zack and which is Cody]]. [[CaptainObvious Those are some]] ''[[CaptainObvious stupid]]'' [[CaptainObvious "angels"]].
*** It's hard to be sure, but this is probably a reference to [[RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's similar problem]] which would make sense given the works' shared postmodernist bent.
* GoryDiscretionShot: ''Hi, there. Could I get a hug?'' "I don't see why not..."
* GrandTheftMe: Marik is able to do this to Tea and Joey after legally changing their names to Steve.
** Happens in episode 49, where [[spoiler:Crump the Tuxedo-Wearing Penguin hijacks Tea's body. Later on he discovers that Marik has already done this to Tea himself and gets kicked out.]]
*** [[spoiler:Tristan when his body gets hijacked by the Big Five]]
* GratuitousFrench: Used and Lampshaded in [[LadyGaga Leather]] [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Pants]]: ''Je voudrais son/Pantalon cuir/Son pantalon[[hottip:* :(I want his/leather pants/his pants)]]/Why am I speaking French?/Why am I speaking French?/I don't wanna be French
** Amusingly enough, it actually sounds like he's saying Je voudrais son pantalon cuillere ("I want his pants spoon" instead of "I want his pants leather").. .
* GratuitousJapanese: Joey apparently has a fanboy, who calls him "Jonouchi-chan", and calls Tristan "Honda-kun".
** The dude doesn't like watching the dub. ''Gomen nasai''!
** Also, Marik calls Florence "aibō" at one point, and when Florence presses him on it, Marik [[LampshadeHanging explains]] [[HoYay that he thinks it means "gay"]].
*** It actually means "partner", but not necessarily in a sexual way, so he wasn't far off the mark. The real humor is in the fact Yami (in the original Japanese and [[GratuitousJapanese far too many fanfics]]) refers to Yugi as this.
*** [[DontExplainTheJoke Well, yes.]]
* GroinAttack: Mokuba suggests this to Kaiba when Ishisu turns his strategy against him.
--> '''Mokuba''': "Kick her in the nads!"
--> '''Kaiba''': ''"She doesn't have those things!"''
* GutturalGrowler: Croquet -- Pegasus's second-in-command/manservant.
--> '''Croquet''': Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go sandpaper my throat.
* {{Hammerspace}}: "And now to use the Millennium Rod, which I keep clenched between my buttocks."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:H]]
* HeManWomanHater: Played for laughs and combined with DudeLooksLikeALady. Yami feels perfectly justified in his disdain for women, what with those Marik and Bakura chicks always trying to kill him.
* HeroicBSOD: Losing a children's card game has caused both Yugi and Kaiba (in separate instances) to have an existential crises.
* HetIsEw: Parodied in episode 36.
-->'''Marik''': Now I will force Yugi to duel the one he loves most. And according to all the {{fan fiction}} I've read, that would be Joey.
-->'''Odion''': But Master Marik, it is obvious that Yugi is in love with Téa.
-->'''Marik''': ''WHAT?!'' No way, that's insane! What kind of messed-up fanfics have ''you'' been reading?!
** Then again, this is ''Marik'' we're talking about who hasn't really had any exposure to heterosexual relationships and a lot of exposure to yaoi, [[FridgeBrilliance so it sort of makes sense]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: In the flashback to young Marik's past, the Egyptian Merchant is voiced by [[spoiler:[[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]].]]
** Jaden in ''Bonds Beyond Time'' was voiced by [=ShadyVox=], who was Jaden from ''YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries''. He also voiced him during two bonus episodes: his rap and his battle with Yugi.
* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Time is usually measured in episodes.
** The intensity of Kaiba's smile is measured in [[CompleteMonster Dead Puppies.]]
* {{Homage}}: Too many to count, but let's try. ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''[[TwentyFour 24]]'', ''StarWars'', ''BeavisAndButthead'', ''KatamariDamacy'', ''{{Castlevania}}'', ''{{Zork}}'', ''KillBill'', ''Titanic'', ''GuitarHero II'', ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', ''BattleRoyale''... One merits special mention as it's [[LampshadeHanging stated directly by a character]]:
--> '''Seto Kaiba:''' Let's duel on the roof as an homage to ''Clerks''.
** "By the way, this is a ''2001'' parody."
** Subverted lampshading in episode 15, which featured, among other things, Pegasus' castle as a wretched hive of scum and villainy, Kemo not needing to see the characters' identification, and Kaiba once being the learner, but now the master...
--->'''Tristan''': "What's with all the [[StarWars Star Trek]] quotes?"
** "Because, in case you hadn't noticed, this episode is a parody of the ''Saw'' franchise!"
** He featured footage taken from the famous StarTrekTheNextGeneration episode "Best of Both Worlds." When the Enterprise fired at the Borg ship, it featured the subtitle "Ancient Egyptian Phaser Beams."
** Shadi's voice is made to sound like {{Borat}}.
** Marik is slowly sounding more and more like the Monarch of TheVentureBrothers and two of his henchmen sound suspiciously similar to Henchmen 21 and 24. Given the other Adult Swim references it's likely this is intentional.
*** Joey's mother has the voice of Doctor Girlfriend.
*** In one episode, Marik shouts "Ignore me!" several times, the CatchPhrase of the Galactic Inquisitor from "Twenty Years To Midnight"
** The scenes featuring [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past... From the Future]] resemble the episodes he appears in.
** Also Tristan as SamuelLJackson, reciting the scene from PulpFiction. [[MemeticMutation You know the one]]...
*** [[SchmuckBait What?]]
** And Bakura's classic moment in episode 37, about why he's become evil.
--->'''Bakura''': WHY SO BRITISH?
** The scene in episode 41 with Pegasus in the convoy in the desert is a homage to Iron Man, complete with "Back in Black" playing in the background.
** In episode 23, Joey remarks, "That game was [[TakeThat more disappointing than]] {{Fable}}."
** Episode 52 is named after ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld.
---> '''Seto Kaiba''': Let me guess, you're one of Noah's 7 Evil Ex Boyfriends?
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Kaiba Corp executive Lector - the head of localization at 4Kids - uses Jinzo as his Deck Master. In the Abridged Universe, Jinzo has the power of destroying internet meme-related cards, which puts Kaiba at a disadvantage. So how does Kaiba beat him? [[spoiler: He distracts Lector long enough to create an internet meme based on localizing Japanese cartoons. This causes Lector to ''become'' a meme, thus causing his own Deck Master power to affect and destroy him.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Everyone involving Malik. Yugi, upon meeting him and noting that his story seems a little off, still accepts him and calls himself a "gullible idiot-in-training".
--> '''Joey, thinking''': "I still think there's something fishy about that guy..."
--> '''Marik''': "[[EvilLaugh Wahahaha!]] Destroy you all!"
--> '''Joey, thinking''': "Man, if I could only put my finger on it..."
** Not to mention all the people who think that it couldn't hurt to let Melvin give them a hug.
* HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas: "How the Thief King Stole Slavemas"
* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Grandpa uses one of these in the season zero episode.
* TheHypnotoad - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnmPICu_peI The Kill Your Family Show]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Makes fun of the Jim Jarmusch movie ''Broken Flowers'' saying that their parodic search "will have an actual conclusion." [[HypocriticalHumor Then it ends on a cliffhanger]]. Blatant enough to probably be purposeful. Later, however, it did get a conclusion.
** Also when Mokuba tells Grandpa to shut up, the old man blurts out, "Where the hell are your manners!?" Made even funnier by the fact that ''everyone'' had been telling Mokuba to shut up until that point (including Grandpa just a few seconds ago).
*** Tea also berates Mokuba for telling an old man to shut up. Then tells Grandpa to shut up in the very next episode.
** Joey asks about Bakura's "inappropriate accent" (Joey himself has an inappropriate accent).
** "Bullying is just wrong! Destroying people's brains with magical powers is A-OK!"
** Seto Kaiba to Mokuba, while they're both flying on Seto's two-passenger jet plane: "Mokuba, you're making us look ridiculous. Now please! Let me concentrate on flying my giant dragon-shaped jet plane."
** Joey when he kicks Tristan through a wall: "I warned him, using a stick is just asking for trouble." "Joey, you just shoved him through a building." "So?"
** In the ''Bonds Beyond Time'' movie, [[YuGiOh5Ds Yusei]] asked every other Yu-gi-oh protagonist what is wrong with their hair.
