7	''Parappa Abridged is an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged series]] of the Parappa The Rapper anime, created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHamtaroFlower1/ HamtaroFlower]], running for 17 episodes, 3 improvised hiatus dubs and a completely improvised Christmas special between 2015 and 2020. The series stands apart from other abridged series for featuring a more dense and wacky, absurdist sense of humor (as well as it having been improvised until episode 9). The series focuses on Parappa and his friends (in a loose sense of the term) going on adventures that tend to be so beautifully far-removed from the original plots, typically in a vulgar and inappropriate manner.

10	!!This work provides examples of:
11	* AccidentalMisnaming: In Matt's Depressing Birthday Bash[[note]] Episode 11[[/note]], Matt keeps getting called Regonald. Yes, it's spelled like that.
12	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: ''And how.'' Parappa is even more of a wimp and a major airhead with occasional mean tendecies, Katy is VERY vulgar and rude, Paula is even more of a valley girl who verbally abuses her friends from time to time, PJ's even lazier and is a stoner as well as having become [[AdaptationalJerkass rather hateful and mean]] towards his friends, Gaster is unbelievably insane to the point that he takes medicine for it as evidenced in Episode 9, Gruber is a DeadPanSnarker with a crush on Gaster, and Matt is the VoiceOfReason... ''when he wants to be.''
13	* AffectionateParody: It's made with love, from the whole cast.
14	* BreakingTheFourthWall: The fourth wall takes a bit of a walloping in this series:
15	** In episode 4, the two voice changes in the episode are explained as demons leaving the characters affected.
16	** In the first episode, Katy gets mad at Paula for "not talking when she's supposed to."
17	** In episode 12, Parappa, Matt, and PJ are looking at clouds and Matt points out how one looks like a butt-plug with wings. Parappa tells Matt that the mothers watching Parappa Abridged aren't going to be happy about it. Less than a second later, Matt gets a call from an angry mother.
18	*** In the same scene, Matt notices how much PJ sleeps. Matt asks him if he's always been so sleepy, and Parappa's response is that he's "been like that for the last 11 episodes."
19	* CanonForeigner: Matt Major gets some new family members. His mother, Mama Major, who hardly helps her son at all and apparently spends most of her time [[VillageBicycle having copious amounts of sex]], and Matt's brother, Matt Jr., who is very academically successful, polite, and ''British.'' While Mama Major is [[TheGhost unseen]], with the only proof of her existence being phone calls made to and from Matt Major, Matt Jr. appeared in the ChristmasSpecial.
20	* CatchPhrase: ''"Hey, you meme loving [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKS!!!]]"''
21	* ContinuityNod: There's a rough sense of continuity through the series, with mentions of past events occurring in dialogue from time to time.
22	* CrossdressingVoices: Frequently. The voice actors for Parappa, Matt, Gaster, and PJ are girls. Similarly, Katy would end up having two simultaneous voice actors in the last two episodes, one of them being a boy.
23	* DenserAndWackier: Later episodes would become this in comparison to the rest of the main series.
24	** The Hiatus dubs to the series as a whole. The second and third are definitely bizarre by the series standards, but the first one [[RandomEventsPlot absolutely]] [[GainaxEnding defies]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment explanation.]]
25	* DubNameChange: MC Doberman from Episode 9 gets renamed "MC BigDick." Sticks into the Christmas special.
26	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In a grand sense, the first eight episodes were notable for being near-entirely/entirely improvised, as opposed to the following episodes, which were scripted, then recorded in a call with some improvisation. Other notable differences:
27	** The series used to be presented in a lower visual quality and was presented in letterboxed ''and'' pillarboxed format (the series would switch to higher quality 4:3 in a 16:9 screen in episode 7, and would switch to a strictly 4:3 resolution in episode 9).
28	** The style of the humor had a tendency to be more cynical and had some jokes that didn't quite fly (and the series was a bit more down to earth in general). Later episodes would have a [[DenserAndWackier more off the wall tone]] and left some of it's cynicism behind.
29	** The first episode is more of an English dub with raunchier dialogue, possibly as a result of the (back then, only) two voice actresses accidentally reading the hardsubs.
30	* OverlyLongName: Mr. Shyman's wife's name is somehow "Cloris Doris McBoris Floris Hymen." By Shyman's own admission, people tend to call her "C.D Hymen."
