1	-> ''"Long ago lived the time of quality broadcasting, when staying up late on Friday and getting up early on Saturday was rewarded with three dimensional characters and fully emersable plots. These were the days of my kind.''
2	-> ''But before long our time was forgotten. Our creators [[ScrewedByTheNetwork abandoning us]] after only [[strike:[[CanonDiscontinuity three]]]] two seasons.''
3	-> ''But now, here on Website/YouTube, our storyline has been [[TheAbridgedSeries reimagined]]! We LIVE AGAIN!''
4	-> ''We are the defenders of Late Night Television, and Saturday Morning Cartoons. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis We! Are! GARGOYLES!]]"''

7	In 2009, Creator/{{Hbi2k}} made a contest: Made the first episode in an Abridged Series for shows that havn't been made yet, ones whose name's start with the [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS Letter G]] and do it in a week. Many wannabe abridgers like [[https://www.youtube.com/user/EvilChicken25 EvilChicken25]] [[JumpedAtTheCall answered the call]], but the winner was... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5bJ-gskZ7U Not this show]]. Still, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' came in third, and [=EvilChicken=] decided to keep going.
8	----
9	!!Tropes:
10
11	* [[{{Aesop}}An Aesop]]: Episode 6 delivered one in the most hilariously over the top manner possible
12	* ArtEvolution: After Limeycriket and Omahdon joined the cast respectively as Elisa Maza and '' '''THE''' '' [[TropeNamer David Xanatos]], the rest of the audio for the episode also seemed to jump in quality.
13	** Added bonus? Omahdon is also known as Creator/EdwynTiong, who has ''plenty'' of experience playing this character type.
14	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The Captain of the Guard cites this as his reason [[spoiler:for betraying Wyvrn.]]
15	* AxCrazy: Hyena, whose dialogue consists mainly of asking Fox if she can kill something (including fans)
16	* BadBadActing: Ya know, Xanatos and his Goon Squad really need to grasp the concept of "Less Is More" when in the middle of a scam.
17	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jackal; whose first comment upon seeing a picture of Goliath is a comment about his (Goliath's) hair.
18	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Goliath does not seem to mind at all when Demona used magic to force him to have sex with her.
19	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hakkon killed eight guys getting in, and even ''he'' thinks the Captain's reason for what he did was cold.
20	* EvilLaugh: Xanatos and Demona share a rare moment of classical cliched villainy.
21	** Xanatos and Owen do this in Episode 6
22	* {{Homage}}: Whether by design or by chance, Demona sounds a little bit like [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Mai Valentine]].
23	* IDoNotOwn: The editor would like to say that the video was acquired legally, and you are [[http://www.amazon.com/Gargoyles-Complete-Season-Special-Anniversary/dp/B0002W4SY0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1264794123&sr=1-1 encouraged to do the same]]. Otherwise you answer to [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts the Mouse and the Duck]]. ...And the Dog.
24	** AND [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} MAGNETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]!!!
25	* LandDownunder: Invoked. Dingo is contractually obligated to act like an Aussie stereotype
26	* LargeHam: Goliath.
27	* LarynxDissonance: Elisa, whenever she's voiced by EvilChicken, is given the Miss Piggy treatment.
28	** Demona isn't even given a halfway-attempted feminine voice.
29	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: One shows up to remind the viewer that yes, "blast your soul" was actual dialogue from the show.
30	* [[OhGodWithTheVerbing Oh with the sneaking!!!]]
31	* OnlySaneMan: Dingo; the only reason he doesn't get to ''act'' sensibly is because his contract seems to state that he has to do what Fox says while saying nothing but "Australia-isms."
32	* OverlyLongGag: Episode Three. Wall climbing.
33	** '' '''REVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' ''
34	* PowerPerversionPotential: The first thing Demona does when she puts that spell on Goliath is to make him have sex with her.
35	* PsychoForHire: Hyena
36	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: '' '''REVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' ''
37	** Seriously, that seems to be Goliath's "I'll help you" button.
38	* RuleOfThree: '' '''REVEEEE-!!!''' '' "Oh would you cut that out!!"
39	* RunningGag: '' '''REVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' ''
40	** "Damn you, irony!"
41	** "Blast my soul!"
42	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[DefiedTrope Defied.]] Elisa is about to say something along those lines, but the narrator cuts her off.
43	-->"Killjoy."
44	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Jackal
45	* ShoutOut: "[[Creator/{{Hbi2k}} I'll put on some]] Music/BarryWhite and make a few jello shots and...WAIT, WHO'S ELISA?!"
46	* SkewedPriorities: Lampshaded.
47	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Using actual dialogue from the show, Demona tells Brooklyn that learning more about humanity will "blast his soul," which he says is a weird expression but which she defensively says people say all the time. Several other characters then use versions of it throughout the rest of the episode.
48	* SurferDude: Brooklyn sounds a bit like this. Less drug references than usually applies the the stereotype in Abridged Series though.
49	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Xanatos does this quite a bit.
50	-->"Oh dear! Mysterious soldiers that I have never seen before and whom are clearly not on my payroll! Whatever shall I do?"
51	--> "I am totally not evil."
52	* TemptingFate: Happens a lot to poor Hakon. Never ends well.
53	* TravellingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Spoofed. Climbing up half a skyscraper takes a while.
54	* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Everything, Hakon.
