| 5 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 6 | |
| 7 | [[folder:I]] |
| 8 | * IdiotBall: Depending on the scene, it can range from one character doing something stupid, like not noticing Bakura's turned into a bestial psychopath, to the entire cast accepting that Bakura's managed to recover from illness, win six locator cards in a tournament, and walk to the location of the finals in a single episode. Special mention goes to Tristan, whose IdiotBall is permanently lodged between his brain's frontal lobes. |
| 9 | --> '''Téa''': I can't believe we're expected to believe all this. |
| 10 | --> '''Yugi''': And yet, apparently we do. ''God'', we're stupid. This must be what it feels like to be Tristan. |
| 11 | * IfICantHaveYou: "I'm going to kidnap you! It seems to be the default response to anything in this show!" |
| 12 | * IgpayAtinlay: "Silly Téa! Pigs don't speak Latin!" |
| 13 | * IKnowMortalKombat: |
| 14 | --> '''Kaiba:''' I have to reach Pegasus' island. Fortunately, I can pilot a helicopter. Thank God for Microsoft Flight Simulator! |
| 15 | * ILied: |
| 16 | --> '''Bakura''': [[Film/{{Commando}} Hey, Pegasus, remember when I said I was going to kill you last?]]\ |
| 17 | '''Pegasus''': [[Film/{{Commando}} That's right, Bakura! You did!]]\ |
| 18 | '''Bakura''': ''[[Film/{{Commando}} I lied.]]'' |
| 19 | * ImGoingToDisneyWorld: Zorc in TheMovie |
| 20 | * ImageSong: |
| 21 | ** Melvin: "Villain" |
| 22 | ** Yugi Mutou: "Without Yugi" |
| 23 | ** Kaiba: [[ClusterFBomb "I'm On A Blimp"]] |
| 24 | ** Marik: "Out There", "Leather Pants" |
| 25 | ** Joey Wheeler: "BROOKLYN RAGE~!" |
| 26 | ** Yami Yugi: "Pharaoh's Throne" |
| 27 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Despite its appearance in the original anime it's worth noting that Kaiba throws children's trading cards at FacelessMooks. In [[Franchise/{{Fallout}} V.A.T.S.]] |
| 28 | ** In a later episode Mai one-ups Kaiba by doing the same on the back of a moving motorcycle. |
| 29 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Marik. |
| 30 | * InherentlyFunnyWords: Judging by the reaction of the other people [[Platform/Fireball20XL on Wha-Chow!]] at the time, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1fhTY91yJg vagina]]. |
| 31 | --> '''Kaiba:''' [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Screw the vagina,]] [[RefugeInAudacity I have a vagina!]] |
| 32 | * ImYourWorstNightmare: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCJ7WAAzznM Marik Plays Portal2]], Glados tries this, revealing Marik's worst nightmare is him without a great bottom. His second worst is a buffalo. |
| 33 | * INeedNoLadders: One of the Moonites swoops down upon Yugi and Kaiba "like a ninja." ''Mario Bros'' noises are then added to the scene of him jumping up the side of a building. |
| 34 | -->'''Kaiba:''' [[LampshadeHanging Couldn't he have just used the stairs like a normal person?]] |
| 35 | * InformedAbility: |
| 36 | ** "Yeah, that Mai Valentine. She's a great duelist, all right." |
| 37 | ** Apparently, Berfomet's kind of an asshole. |
| 38 | * InformedAttribute: Mai's breasts being huge. They're really not any bigger than Téa's. |
| 39 | * InformedFlaw: Yugi's voice isn't ''that'' high-pitched. |
| 40 | * InnerMonologue: Viciously parodied as to be expected of this series. Kaiba starts inner monologuing only to be interrupted by Yami's inner monologue. They start having a conversation about their inner monologue tendencies only to be interrupted by TRISTAN'S inner monologue |
| 41 | * InnocentAwkwardQuestion: Playing PingPongNaivete for all it's worth, Tristan asks Joey what sex is. Joey is about to answer, but Téa stops him, reminding him Tristan must not be allowed to breed. |
| 42 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Episode 43: |
| 43 | -->'''Mai''': Marik! When I defeat him it'll prove that I don't need friends to be a strong person. That'll show Joey for not including me in his brain-damage-induced hallucinations! |
| 44 | -->(caption: [irrational reasoning ftw!]) |
| 45 | * InsistentTerminology: |
| 46 | ** Rarely does anybody ever call Duel Monsters by its proper name, it's always "A children's card game", making the whole thing sound ridiculous. |
| 47 | ** Mako Tsunami: "I am ''not'' a freaky fish guy!" The irony being, as Joey points out, he's one of the few characters in the show with personality more than a catchphrase. |
| 48 | ** In episode 80, Yami insists that Raphael should use the term GY instead of Graveyard. |
| 49 | -->'''Raphael:''' For every monster that is in my graveyard... |
| 50 | -->'''Yami:''' GY. |
| 51 | -->(beat) |
| 52 | -->'''Raphael:''' For every monster that is in my GRAVEYARD... |
| 53 | * JustForFun/InSpace: Apparently ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal'' 's card games JustForFun/InSpace was too ridiculous to [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Jack and Yusei]] |
| 54 | * InsultBackfire: |
| 55 | ** This: |
| 56 | ---> '''Marik''': I already told you Bakura, I'm NOT gay! |
| 57 | ---> '''Florence''': Could've fooled me. |
| 58 | ---> '''Melvin''': And me. |
| 59 | ---> '''Marik''': Hey shut up; you don't know anything about me. |
| 60 | ---> '''Florence''': Marik, he IS you; he knows EVERYTHING about you. |
| 61 | ---> '''Marik''': HE is the gay one! |
| 62 | ---> '''Florence''': Marik, he's YOU! |
| 63 | ---> '''Marik''': ...He is the gay one! |
| 64 | ** In the rap battle between Yugi and Jaden, Yugi suggests Jaden should just practice ballet instead of playing children's card games. In his next spit, Jaden fires back that he's been taking ballet for six years regardless of Yugi's taunting. |
| 65 | ** Marik redirects an insult in a [[MoodWhiplash surprisingly harsh way]] during the second Evil Council. |
| 66 | --->'''Teddy:''' Your mother plays card games in ''[[CallBack hell]]''!" |
| 67 | --->'''Marik:''' I know. That's because [[DeathByChildbirth I killed her]]. |
| 68 | --->'''Teddy:''' ...oh. |
| 69 | * InsultMisfire: Episode 11 |
| 70 | --> '''Kaiba''': " No offense Yugi, you're a great duelist and all, but your buddy there couldn't duel his way out of a paper bag." |
| 71 | --> '''Joey''': "That does it! No one talks about my friend Tristan that way!" |
| 72 | %%* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Mentioned in episode 34. |
| 73 | * IntercontinuityCrossover: [[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged Ghost Nappa's]] cameo in episode 40. |
| 74 | * IronicEcho: |
| 75 | ** "Hey, Little Kuriboh! ''When's the new episode''? [[EvilLaugh Ah hah hah hah]]!" |
| 76 | ** Bakura in episode 11, Florence in episode 46: "Tell my fangirls, I love them." |
| 77 | ** "By the Gods, that's exactly what ''I'' want to look like!" |
| 78 | ** "I have the weirdest boner right now" |
| 79 | * IronicHell: |
| 80 | ** After losing her card game with Melvin, Mai is sent to a world where everybody's breasts are bigger than hers. Especially Tristan's. |
| 81 | ** According to Yami in episode 58, card game hell is "just like the real world, except there are no card games. It's awful." |
| 82 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Inverted in Episode 22. |
| 83 | --> '''Duke''': They say you're a loser with a fetish for dressing up as animals. |
| 84 | --> '''Joey''': I am not a loser! |
| 85 | * ItemGet: "Looks like Joey found a Duel Disk!" |
| 86 | * ItsProbablyNothing: "Yeah, that's definitely [[VideoGame/{{Thief}} the sound that wind makes]]." |
| 87 | * ItWasHisSled: Yugi exploits this InUniverse in one of his duels: [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince "Snape Kills D-"]] [many spoilers later] "--Creator/NicoleKidman [[Film/TheOthers2001 was a ghost,]] and [[Film/CitizenKane Rosebud was the sled!"]] |
| 88 | * ItWillNeverCatchOn: |
| 89 | ** [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds "Card games on motorbikes... come on!"]]. (Cut to a picture of ''Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds'' with the subtitles saying, "you gotta be sh*** ing me.") With "[[OminousLatinChanting O Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi]]" playing in the background. |
| 90 | ** Yusei and Jack (incidentally from the aforementioned show) eventually go on to make a similar quip about "Card Games in Space" Yu-Gi-Oh: Zexal |
| 91 | ** Said word for word when Yugi and Yami were talking about adding new rules to the game : |
| 92 | ---> '''Yugi''': While we're here, we should tell them about the new rule we thought of. What did you call it, Pharaoh? [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV Pendulum Summoning?]] |
| 93 | ---> '''Yami''': Eh, it'll never catch on. |
| 94 | * IWantSong: Young Marik's version of [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney "Out There"]]. Except in this case, what he wants is to kill people, play card games, and read yaoi. |
| 95 | [[/folder]] |
| 96 | |
| 97 | [[folder:J]] |
| 98 | * {{Jerkass}}: Almost everyone takes this trope and runs rampant with it, while frequently informing each other and the viewers of it. Special note to Kaiba who openly calls himself the "biggest dick in the entire show" and Shadi who once said, "I am, how you say, 'Kind of a dick.'" |
| 99 | * JiveTurkey: Tristan temporarily becomes one when he turns black due to an animation error. And Joey has to point out he's no longer black for him to stop. |
| 100 | ** The ''entirety'' of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0IihzFoUlI The Ebonics'd Series.]] |
| 101 | * JustFriends: Yugi and Téa in the Season Zero Pilot |
| 102 | -->'''Téa''': Let's have sex later ok? |
| 103 | -->'''Yugi''': Huh? |
| 104 | -->'''Téa''': AS FRIENDS, YUGI. GEEZ, such a pervert! |
| 105 | * JustLikeMakingLove: In Episode 18: |
| 106 | -->'''Yugi:''' My grandpa's deck has served me well, but if I'm going to beat Pegasus I'll need to remember everything he taught me about how to play card games. |
| 107 | -->'''Grandpa:''' ''(flashback)'' Playing card games is just like making love. You usually do it on a table, and you always feel deep shame when it's finished. Also, the older you get, the less fun it is. So remember, always wear a condom when playing card games. |
| 108 | -->''(cuts back to the present)'' |
| 109 | -->'''Yugi:''' Hm... I should probably wash my hands before using these. |
| 110 | [[/folder]] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | [[folder:K]] |
| 113 | * KaleidoscopeHair: As a gag, Dartz has hair that changes color for every single shot he's in. At the season his arc begins it actively changes color constantly. He loses it in Episode 73 going back to his "natural turqouise", explaining that it was hair dye that made his hair constantly change colors. |
| 114 | * {{Kayfabe}}: [[spoiler:[[LateArrivalSpoiler The show being cancelled by 4Kids]]]]. |
| 115 | * {{Keet}}: Kaiba in Season Zero somehow manages to be this while having a CreepyMonotone. |
| 116 | * KidnappersKFC: According to Mokuba when he was kidnapped by Pegasus and Marik, the former took him on a picnic and the latter gave him pizza. When he gets kidnapped by Noah, he pretty much got used to being kidnapped and instead complains about the lack of food and is overjoyed at getting donuts. |
| 117 | * KidsAreCruel: "Toooor-meeeeent!" |
| 118 | * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Zombie Boy]] in episode 37. Who thought [[spoiler:Florence]] had an invisible gun...? |
| 119 | ** Also Jack Atlas in episode 52 |
| 120 | * {{Kneecapping}}: In the deleted scenes montage, Yugi threatens Tristan with this with a wrench. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:L]] |
| 124 | * LameComeback: From "Yami of Darkness": |
| 125 | -->Yugi: God, you are such a slut. |
| 126 | -->Yami: Yeah, well... you're really small. |
| 127 | * LampshadedTheObscureReference: One scene referenced JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}, ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, and Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda. Téa said she was leaving due to getting annoyed by all the obscure references. |
| 128 | * LampshadeHanging: Half the jokes do this. The other half parody doing this. |
| 129 | * LargeHam: |
| 130 | ** "I can do whatever I want because I'm voiced by '''[[Creator/DanGreen DAN GREEN]]'''!" |
| 131 | ** Also Marik seems to get quite into it during [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535618 Leather Pants]], not that he hasn't hammed up the scenery in-series as well. |
| 132 | * LarynxDissonance: There's eight women in the series and the four that qualify as main characters sound like varying degrees of guy: From Miss Piggy style (Téa), to slightly husky (Ishizu), to not even trying (Mai [Seasons 1-3] and Serenity). The other four, Rebecca Hawkins, Veronica Ishtar, Dark Magician Girl, and Kriss have genuine female actors. Also with Season 4 Mai Valentine has a female voice actor with Boobs Mcbalrog (Caitlyn Elizabeth) voicing her. |
| 133 | --> '''Joey''': "Nyah, Mai Valentine! Ya' sound like a man! That is completely normal for this series, but still, what the hell?" |
| 134 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: |
| 135 | ** Mentioned in episode 35. |
| 136 | --> '''Yami Yugi''': Say Kaiba, do you remember the first time you and I met? |
| 137 | --> '''Seto Kaiba''': Actually no. You did that mind crush thing to me so everything's sort of a blur. In fact, I kinda think you gave me brain damage. |
| 138 | ** Also from episode 43: |
| 139 | --> '''Melvin''': I hate to burst your bubble, but there's nobody in my head worth remembering. [[EvilLaugh Ahahahaha...]]! Wait! No, Mr. Tweetums! |
| 140 | * LastNameBasis: Bakura, Crump, Kaiba |
| 141 | * LastSecondWordSwap: |
| 142 | ** Crump the Penguin and Téa. |
| 143 | ---> '''Crump:''' Now that's what I call a "DMILF". |
| 144 | ---> '''Téa:''' A "DMILF"? |
| 145 | ---> '''Crump:''' A Dark Magician I'd like to Fu-- |
| 146 | ---> '''Téa:''' [[{{Squick}} Yuck! God, What is wrong with you, you perverted old creep?]] |
| 147 | ** Subverted in the Season Zero pilot, when it looks like Yugi's going to think of a different way to finish the sentence, and finally just gives up and starts over. |
| 148 | ---> '''Téa:''' What are you going to wish for, Yugi? |
| 149 | ---> '''Yugi:''' Oh, that's easy! Téa's pant--uh...um...uh...''Tristan's'' panties. |
| 150 | ---> [[{{Beat}} (beat)]] |
| 151 | ---> '''Téa:''' You have ''problems'', man! |
| 152 | * LateToThePunchline: Marik pulls this off when he realizes what Melvin meant by 'I always knew you wanted me inside of you Bakura' and [[DontExplainTheJoke explains the joke]] a whole episode later. |
| 153 | * LaughTrack: Zorc has sitcom-style canned laughter play every time he mentions destroying the world, occasionally also other audience reactions. |
| 154 | * LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: "[=SexyBack=]", Duke's {{Leitmotif}}. When Yugi asks Duke "to stop using that annoying theme music", he has no idea it's on. |
| 155 | * {{Leitmotif}}: |
| 156 | ** Florence had [[OminousLatinChanting Ave Satani]] whenever he spoke when he was first introduced. It only lasted a few episodes though. |
| 157 | ** Whenever Yugi's Dark Magician is shown attacking (three times at last count), the theme from a different [[WebAnimation/WeeblAndBob Magical Trevor]] short is played. |
| 158 | ** 99 percent of Duke Devlin's dialogue is backed by Music/JustinTimberlake's "[=SexyBack=]." |
| 159 | * LetMeGetThisStraight: Used often by various characters (usually Yugi) to lampshade the utter ridiculousness of the plot. |
| 160 | --> '''Yugi''': So let me get this straight, according to this show, the Egyptian Gods are ''real.'' |
| 161 | --> '''Shadi''': Yes. |
| 162 | --> '''Yugi''': But, doesn't that mean that all other religions are ''wrong'', and the hokey ancient Egypt religion is the only real one? |
| 163 | --> '''Shadi''': Yes. |
| 164 | --> '''Yugi''': Huh, didn't see that one coming. |
| 165 | --> '''Shadi''': I did! |
| 166 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Not stated, but implied by Tristan in episode 60. It becomes the RunningGag for the episode. |
| 167 | --> '''Just f*** already!''' |
| 168 | * LiteralMinded: Tristan. |
| 169 | --> '''Joey:''' Shut up, Tristan! You just want to get into Serenity's pants! |
| 170 | --> '''Tristan:''' No, I don't. I want to have '''sex''' with her! ({{beat}}) Oh, that's what you ''meant''. |
| 171 | * LogicBomb: Duke defeats Nesbitt this way by showing him a picture of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal'' protagonist. |
| 172 | * LossOfInhibitions: After developing an alcohol addiction, Tristan Taylor's voice decides to run around with scissors, resulting in its temporary death. |
| 173 | * LostEpisode: For lack of a better trope to describe it. For April Fools' Day 2011, a new version of Episode 6 was released, covering the same episode as the original, but using completely different scenes and jokes. |
| 174 | * LyingFingerCross: Kaiba does this when saying that he loves his brother Mokuba. Joey notices and points it out, causing Kaiba to... [[FlippingTheBird change his finger sign somewhat]]. |
| 175 | * LyricalDissonance: The ''Zorc & Pals'' theme song. |
| 176 | -->The blood of the innocent will flow without end\ |
| 177 | His name is Zorc and he's destroying the world! |
| 178 | [[/folder]] |
| 179 | |
| 180 | [[folder:M]] |
| 181 | * MagnumOpus: Marik belives this about Concrete Giraffes, the movie he is filming with Bakura. It doesn't quite work out that way. [[invoked]] |
| 182 | --> '''Marik''': This is going to make ''Film/CitizenKane'' look like [[{{Pun}} Citizen Lame]]! |
| 183 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: |
| 184 | ** After getting his eye gouged out, Pegasus, instead of screaming in pain, informs Florence that he took the wrong one. |
| 185 | --->'''Florence''': My mistake. |
| 186 | --->'''* Pop* ''' |
| 187 | --->'''Pegasus''': That's much better. |
| 188 | ** We also have Hank Ishtar singing a parody version of [[SoundtrackDissonance "Cat's in the Cradle"]] while being [[labelnote:hugged]]stabbed to death[[/labelnote]] by Melvin. |
| 189 | * ManipulativeBastard: Of all people, ''Mokuba'' in episode 52. He manipulates Noah into giving him free food and letting him watch his favorite TV shows by going on about how his previous kidnappers were so much better than Noah. |
| 190 | * ManOfAThousandVoices: Creator/LittleKuriboh does nearly all the voices on the show with impressive range of pitch and accent. The voices not done by him are generally guest voices he could likely have done by himself. |
| 191 | * MartyStu: In-Universe, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gary Stu]] |
| 192 | --> '''Yugi''': Those bullies are being mean to Gary Stu! |
| 193 | --> '''Joey''': Who the hell is Gary Stu? |
| 194 | --> '''Yugi''': [[RememberTheNewGuy I don't know, but apparently he's my best friend.]] |
| 195 | * MediumAwareness: Yami is able to deduce that Pegasus hid a card in a replica of Pot of Greed because it's the only object animated differently from the background elements. |
| 196 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 197 | ** An ''in-universe'' example; in episode 52 Kaiba creates an internet meme called 'lolcalization', which takes Japanese cartoons and 'localises' them into American versions. [[spoiler: This causes 4Kids Executive Lector - the head of localization - to destroy himself, since his Deck Master's special power is to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard destroy internet memes]]]]. |
| 198 | ** Out of universe, the character catchphrases like "Screw the Rules, I Have Money", "In America", and "Brooklyn Rage" among others have achieved meme status. So much to the point that voice actors from the actual series have used them at conventions. |
| 199 | ** And last, but certainly not least, "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES" |
| 200 | * {{Metafiction}}: The idea is played with, and is in full effect in Season 3. The show is cancelled and the characters have to fight the executive at 4Kids to get it back, ultimately defeating them and blowing up their base. At the same time in real life for unrelated reasons, the company had gone bankrupt and lost the rights to ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''. |
| 201 | * {{Metaphorgotten}}: |
| 202 | ** Grandpa, unsurprisingly, pulls one off. |
| 203 | ---> '''Grandpa''': ''(in a flashback)'' "Playing card games is JustLikeMakingLove. You usually do it on a table, and always feel deep shame afterwards. Also, the older you get, the less fun it is. So, in conclusion, remember to always wear a condom while playing card games!" |
| 204 | ---> '''Yugi''': "Huh...maybe I should wash my hands before shuffling these." |
| 205 | ** Joey has one, too. |
| 206 | --->'''Joey''': Remember, you treat a duel disk just like you treat a woman. You strap it to your arm and put trading cards into it at regular intervals. |
| 207 | * MexicanStandoff: When Ishizu confronts Marik when he's trying to steal the god cards, he refers to it as an "Egyptian standoff, the second-most racist standoff there is." |
| 208 | * MindControl: Marik uses this recurringly on his Steves, as well as on Joey and Téa. Later, Nesbitt uses it when taking control of Tristan and so does Crump when he takes control of Téa's body. |
| 209 | * TheMole: Melvin works for 4Kids and is trying to get the show cancelled. [[spoiler:He succeeds in episode 46.]] |
| 210 | * MomentKiller: [[SueDonym Malik]] gets one during the Joey/Odion duel; when Odion realizes he's about to lose due to the fake Egyptian God Card inciting the wrath of the ''real'' Mega Ultra Chicken, Odion muses how he finally became a Tombkeeper. "Malik", on the other hand, isn't impressed. |
| 211 | -->'''Odion''': I can only hope you're proud of me.\ |
| 212 | '''"Malik"''': She's not even your real mom, douche bag! |
| 213 | * MonsterRoommate: Florence was apparently [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man's]] college roommate. |
| 214 | * MoodWhiplash: PlayedForLaughs (possibly) in Episode 31; the little kid with [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash Ketchum's]] [[Creator/VeronicaTaylor voice]] snuck into Serenity's hospital room and won't stop getting on her nerves: |
| 215 | -->'''Serenity''': Hey, "Ash"?\ |
| 216 | '''"Ash"''': Yeah, Misty?\ |
| 217 | '''Serenity''': That doctor told me you have cancer.\ |
| 218 | ''(The first opening theme to Pokemon cuts off)''\ |
| 219 | '''"Ash"''': ''({{Beat}})'' Oh...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint is that some sort of new Pokemon that can't be found in the Johto region]]?\ |
| 220 | '''Serenity''': No. It's ''cancer''. |
| 221 | * {{Mooks}}: The Steves. |
| 222 | * MoralityPet: Mr. Tweetums, to Marik. |
| 223 | * MotiveDecay: Marik was originally the person in charge of 4Kids and was seeking to steal Yugi's screentime. He was later changed back to his original goal of seeking revenge on the pharaoh while Noah and the Big Five became the leaders of 4Kids, with Melvin working for them to get the show cancelled. And Melvin would later leave this role and go back to his original goal of causing chaos and destruction. |
| 224 | * MotorMouth: Used by Yugi in Season 0, to describe his Grandpa's Blue Eyes White Dragon card: |
| 225 | -->'''Yugi''': Hey gramps, can we please see your ultra-rare-chocolatey-fudge-coated-sugar-sprinkled-angelic-magical-fantastical-stupendously-special-illegally-[[OverlyLongGag sexually-genuinely-brilliantly]]-amazing-goddamn-[[UnusualEuphemism spank-my-ass-and-call-me-Suzie]]-mega-ultra-super card? [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is a CallBack to the very first episode of the ''first'' series, where Yugi asked for his grandpa's Blue-Eyes card in a similar manner. However, that example was much shorter than the one used in the Season 0 quote above.[[/labelnote]] |
| 226 | * TheMovie: Three so far: The Abridged Movie, [[NoExportForYou The Other Abridged Movie]], and [[CrossOver Bonds Beyond Time]]. |
| 227 | * MrExposition: Shadi serves this role up until Noah and Team 4kids cancels the show. |
| 228 | ** The cybernetic ghost of Christmas past from the future. Lampshaded in the Kaiba's Father special: "Are you kidding me? Every time something fucked up happens in this series, you show up and start explaining things!" |
| 229 | * MsFanservice: When Dark Magician Girl makes her first appearance, a subtitle appears: |
| 230 | -->"Somewhere a Yugioh fan is touching himself inappropriately." |
| 231 | * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Bakura, since the main cast doesn't consider him as part of their group of friends and regularly pick on him for absolutely everything he does. |
| 232 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 233 | ** Joey says as much upon his reaction in episode 36 when he breaks Marik's mind control over him to find that he's been dueling in a death match with Yugi. |
| 234 | ** After Shadi shows Pegasus a vision of the havoc the God Cards will unleash: |
| 235 | --->'''Pegasus''': What dark forces have I unleashed? [[AmbiguouslyGay Dirty hands! Dirty, dirty hands!]] |
| 236 | ** Noah says this almost verbatim only three seconds after getting to the helicopter to escape the missile he launched to kill everyone at the Kaiba Corp facility at the end of the Virtual World arc. |
| 237 | * MyNaymeIs: Marik uses "Malik" ([[InconsistentSpelling another possible transliteration for his name]]) as an alias when he meets Joey and Téa. |
| 238 | --->'''Joey''': (Possessed by Marik, monotone voice) I will obey, Master Malik. |
| 239 | --->'''Marik''': It's ''Marik'', you fool! |
| 240 | --->'''Joey''': Whatever... |
| 241 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Seto Kaiba's totally hot dragon girlfriend from the distant future. |
| 242 | [[/folder]] |
| 243 | |
| 244 | [[folder:N]] |
| 245 | * {{Narm}}: In-universe, when Paradox activates Malefic Realm: |
| 246 | --> '''Jaden:''' Actually, this isn't so bad\ |
| 247 | '''Yusei:''' Yeah, it's actually kinda pretty here.\ |
| 248 | '''Yugi:''' Makes a nice change from the Shadow Realm, that's for sure.\ |
| 249 | '''Paradox:''' Stop that! It is supposed to be thweatening!\ |
| 250 | '''Yugi:''' Look at all the pretty lights! |
| 251 | * NationalStereotypes: |
| 252 | ** In-Universe. "So let me get this straight. The only characters on this show who represent [[{{Eagleland}} America]] are [[ChurchOfHappyology Jean Claude Magnum]], [[CreepyChild Rebecca Hawkins]], [[AmbiguouslyGay Maximillian Pegasus]], and [[EagleLand Bandit Keith]]. Is it just me, or is ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' the most xenophobic show ever?" |
| 253 | ** All of the of the Egyptians (especially Atem, Florence, Shadi, Melvin, and Hank Ishtar) are some degree of bastard. |
| 254 | ** Jokes about the British are used a lot with Bakura ("This looks like a job...for LIMEYMAN!"). All these jokes get even funnier when you realize that Creator/LittleKuriboh [[SelfDeprecation IS British]]. |
| 255 | --->'''Yugi''': Is ''everyone'' from England a total spaz, Bakura? |
| 256 | --->'''Bakura''': Pretty much. |
| 257 | ** Episode 23 |
| 258 | --->'''Marik''': With my Millennium Rod, I can take control of whoever I want. |
| 259 | --->'''Yugi''': And you chose Bandit Keith? Why the hell would you choose Bandit Keith, he sucks! |
| 260 | --->'''Marik''': It's simple. Americans are very easy to brainwash. Isn't that right, mind slave? |
| 261 | --->'''Bandit Keith''': Whatever you say, Mister President. |
| 262 | ** Episode 40 |
| 263 | --->'''Hans''': And now with the Heir Kaiba's permission I shall activate the machine |
| 264 | --->'''Kaiba''': Just do it already you offensive stereotype. |
| 265 | --->'''Hans''': Heil Kaiba! |
| 266 | --->'''Kaiba''': Yes, Yes. Heil me. |
| 267 | * NegativeContinuity: |
| 268 | ** Kaiba's finger came clean off while sticking it near a helicopter's blades. Played straight when it wasn't mentioned in the next episode, then subverted in the episode after ''that'' when it's HandWaved by a doctor who surgically reattaches his finger, a la ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' (which Kaiba has never seen because he doesn't "watch crap"). |
| 269 | ** In Marik's Evil Council 3, said council is meeting near an anime convention due to their Egypt hideout having [[ContinuityNod been destroyed by Yami Yugi's letterbomb in the previous Christmas Special]]...despite said bomb having gone off right next to them, which would have certainly killed them as well, though you could blame it on [=4Kids=] having censored it. |
| 270 | * NephariousPharaoh: The Pharaoh / Yami Yugi is interpreted as this for laughs, a DesignatedHero who ruled over Egypt with an iron fist, forcing slaves to erect pyramids for his amusement. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KbqRPuQetY He sings about it too.]] |
| 271 | * NeverSayDie: Mocked relentlessly. |
| 272 | ** Episode 18: "No! Yugi! You can't be dead. If you were dead, 4Kids would have censored it!" |
| 273 | ** Episode 28: "Yes, I - wait, no, I don't want to kill you, I just want to destroy you a little! Jeez, talk about overreacting!" |
| 274 | ** Episode 30: "Help! Somebody save me from the harmless dark energy disks that won't kill me!" |
| 275 | ** Subverted in episode 36 where Yugi expects that losing the card game against Joey on purpose will send him to the Shadow Realm and is willing to do it because of their friendship. Until Joey tells him that, for once, the consequences will ACTUALLY be fatal. |
| 276 | ** In episode 37, Bakura points this out: "Honestly, why do we even have a graveyard in this show if nobody ever dies?" [[spoiler: Averted, as Zombie Boy apparently ''did'' die later that episode. But then, he ''is'' a zombie.]] |
| 277 | ** Episode 40: "Marik, if I survive this, I'm going to ''kill'' you." |
| 278 | ** Episode 41: "Oh my God, we're gonna die! ... I can't believe I'm gonna die in a show about * beep* ing CARD GAMES!" |
| 279 | ** The movie: Anubis - "Soon you will die, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment and then you'll be dead... because I killed you!]]" |
| 280 | ** Episode 47: "If we were gonna die, they'd have killed us by now." Subverted, too. Noah threatens the cast with sentry turrets when Kaiba's blimp lands in his mobile fortress. At first they mock Noah, thinking the bullets that the turrets fire will be non-lethal, but then Noah opens fire for a few seconds to show that they are very real bullets. |
| 281 | ** Bonds Beyond Time: Yugi's explanation of the shadow realm to Yusei and Jaden. |
| 282 | * NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: |
| 283 | ** Exaggerated; it's strongly implied ''nobody'' has ever played Duel Monsters properly, as the rules are so needlessly complicated and impossible to understand, most duelist don't even bother learning them and just make up what they can do on the spot. |
| 284 | ** Spoofed in Yugi's duel with Panik in which Yugi gives a convoluted explanation for how he won (that does in fact perfectly describe the way he won in the original series) |
| 285 | ** Another episode seems to use this as its main gag, where even the "world's most advanced computer" can't understand the game, that no one has tried to learn how to actually play the game and lived and that having to play by the rules is considered a plot twist. |
| 286 | ** In the Bonds Beyond Time abridged movie this is the way Paradox is defeated. Paradox explains that in his time Duel Monsters actually evolved into a game with rules that actually make the game fair and balanced. Yami then counters by pointing out that they aren't in Paradox's time and that Duel Monsters in his own time is broken and completely exploitable. |
| 287 | * NicheNetwork: Spoofed with ''the Card Games Network'', because "a children's card game" is always SeriousBusiness. |
| 288 | * NightmareFuel: |
| 289 | ** In-Universe. [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Zebra Dark Zebra]] according to Kaiba. |
| 290 | ---> '''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. |
| 291 | ** Also when the characters find that the virtual game's version of Mokuba is a ''princess'', the ending states she will "return in your nightmares". |
| 292 | * NoodleIncident: In "Christmas Special #2", Grandpa mentions some sort of accident that occurred between him and Yugi's father, which frightens Yugi a bit |
| 293 | --> '''Yugi:''' Grandpa no! Don't mention the accident! Not on Christmas eve! |
| 294 | * NoFourthWall: |
| 295 | ** At various times ("This will allow the writers to fill in a bunch of plot holes!") and one of Ishizu's powers from her Millennium Necklace is the ability to do this. |
| 296 | ** Little Kuriboh lets you know what sort of series this is going to be from the third line in the first episode: "Sorry, Yug, doin' this Brooklyn accent makes it difficult to concentrate on card games!" |
| 297 | ** The abridged series '''itself''' no longer has a fourth wall either |
| 298 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler: Thief King Bakura suffers one at the hands of Exodia]] in a parody of the scene between Loki and the Hulk in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. |
| 299 | * NoIndoorVoice: |
| 300 | ** Espa Roba and his brothers. |
| 301 | --->'''Joey''': "Stop yelling at me!"\ |
| 302 | '''Espa''': (Shouts) "What? This is my normal speaking voice!" |
| 303 | ** Also: |
| 304 | --->'''Ishizu''': (whispering) Marik, we must be very quiet so that- |
| 305 | --->'''Marik''': HEY ISHIZU LOOK AT THAT THING I WONDER WHAT IT IS! ''LOUDLY'' DO I WONDER ABOUT IT! |
| 306 | ** Jack Atlas. |
| 307 | --->'''Jack''': I MOSTLY JUST LIKE TO YELL! |
| 308 | * NoSwastikas: |
| 309 | -->'''Gruber''': Ve just wanted to show ze Führer our new Kaiba Corp logo! (holds up red flag with a white circle and a black "KC" in the center) |
| 310 | -->'''Hans''': Ja, ve spent ''veeks'' designing it! |
| 311 | * NoYou: |
| 312 | -->'''Ishizu:''' Behold, Kaiba! The three Egyptian God Cards! Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Executive Producer, and [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Mega Ultra Chicken]]! |
| 313 | -->'''Kaiba:''' ''"Mega Ultra Chicken"?'' That's just dumb. |
| 314 | -->'''Ishizu:''' It is ''you'' who is dumb! |
| 315 | ** In episode 83, whenever the [=KaibaCorp=] Grand Prix ("Grand Pricks") is mentioned, Joey interjects with "You're a grand prick!". |
| 316 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: |
| 317 | ** When the "Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams" Shadow Game between Bakura and Pegasus appears, "This isn't a joke. It really happens" appears on screen. |
| 318 | ** And again when the poster for Yu-Gi-Oh! [=5Ds=] appears for the first time. It reads "You have got to be ***ing me." |
| 319 | ** And the running gag of the "Actual 4Kids Dialog" message, including such gems as: |
| 320 | ---> "Check his pulse, Yugi!"\ |
| 321 | "What a digital dummy!"\ |
| 322 | "In another few hours, the sun will rise!"\ |
| 323 | "You don't stand a ghost of a chance!"\ |
| 324 | "We'll meet you at the pier."\ |
| 325 | "Be very careful, Joey!" |
| 326 | ----> "If only he had been careful!"\ |
| 327 | "Joey, what did I tell you about being careful?" |
| 328 | ** He shows one when pointing out the difference between how the Japanese version of the show did a scene or plotline versus how the American version did the same one. Needless to say, the Japanese one often sounds more appealing than the American dub. |
| 329 | ** When Jean Claude Magnum talks about scientology in a fairly accurate way and it starts getting ridiculous, there's a disclaimer onscreen of "This is what Jean Claude Magnum actually believes" |
| 330 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Used by Noah against Seto. Very justifiably. |
| 331 | * TheNudifier: The Shadow Realm, according by Zorc in ''Marik's Evil Council'' 5. |
| 332 | --> '''Zorc:''' In the Shadow Realm, we wear no clothes. Everybody is totally naked. It's kind of a thing. Everybody must suffer eternal damnation...''and nudity!''. |
| 333 | [[/folder]] |
| 334 | |
| 335 | [[folder:O]] |
| 336 | * ObliviousYoungerSibling: Despite getting her eyesight back, Serenity is oblivious to everything. |
| 337 | * ObviousObjectCouldBeAnything: Marik thinks that his snake-shaped present might contain the Buzz Lightyear he always wanted. |
| 338 | * OhCrap: |
| 339 | ** When "Malik" realizes Odion getting hit by lightning and knocked out means Melvin's RestrainingBolt came off and there's nothing stopping him from taking over. |
| 340 | --->'''Marik''': ''(wide-eyed)'' Ohhhhhh '''''[[SoundEffectBleep (EFF)]]'''''... |
| 341 | ** Then there is episode 44, when Kaiba discovers what Exchange of Spirit does. It is technically the first (and as of now, only) time the word '''fuck''' is uncensored (although that is only because it is stretched out): |
| 342 | ---> '''Kaiba:'''(pause) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- |
| 343 | ** Then, when Mokuba sees him on the screen: |
| 344 | --->'''Kaiba:''' (still going) -UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- |
| 345 | ** And still: |
| 346 | ---> '''Kaiba:''' ('''still''' going) -UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- |
| 347 | ** Then, when Mokuba finally arrives: |
| 348 | --->'''Kaiba:''' ('''finally''' finishing) -UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! |
| 349 | ** Brooklyn Rage and the Yugi vs. Jaden rap battle start with one from Kaiba and Yugi respectively. |
| 350 | ---> '''Kaiba:''' Please tell me you're not going to sing[...] Look, I'll pay you any amount of money right now if you don't sing! |
| 351 | --> '''Yugi:''' Oh you've got to be f*cking kidding me... |
| 352 | * OneSteveLimit: |
| 353 | ** Thoroughly and literally averted, in that all Ghouls/Rare Hunters are named "Steve". Steve (The guy who took Joey's Red Eyes), Steve Arcana, Steve the Mime, Keith Steve Howard, The Army of Celebrity Steves, etc. It might help if Marik's mind control powers worked on people who weren't named Steve. Marik does point out that he could [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower control]] Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin if he felt like it. |
| 354 | ** Also brought up here: |
| 355 | ---> '''Yami''': Look, why don't you just cut the crap and tell us who you really are Bakura? Or should I call you the spirit of the Millennium Ring, who has no official name as of yet?\ |
| 356 | '''Florence''': Actually, we're ''both'' called Bakura!\ |
| 357 | '''Yami''': ''What''? But that's just confusing. Not to mention highly unlikely.\ |
| 358 | '''Florence''': Oh, just wait until season 5 when there's ''three'' of me running around. Even the ''fans'' have trouble keeping up with that one. |
| 359 | * OneTrueReligion: Thanks to the nature of the Egyptian pantheon being the inspiration for the show's children's card game--and that the Egyptian God Cards actually existed in the ancient past--Yugi is able to deduce that the religion practiced by the ancient Egyptians is right and all the others are wrong: |
| 360 | -->'''Yugi''': Huh. I did not see this coming.\ |
| 361 | '''Shadi''': I did! |
| 362 | * OneWordVocabulary: Bandit Keith's underling Bones only says "Brains", though the inflection changes and translates to more complex sentences. It is unclear whether others actually understand his meaning. |
| 363 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Any of the series regulars who join Dartz and wield The Seal of Orichalcos have their personalities, character status, competency, and even their voice completely retconned to make them serious and threatening villains. |
| 364 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: |
| 365 | ** Happened in Episode 6, and also seems to be a problem with Marik (and, by extension, Melvin), as he can't seem to decide whether he has a British accent or an American one. The former incident is referenced in Episode 48 and Episode 6's April Fools Day remake "Everybody Loves Mako", where Yugi remembers it as a full-on Cockney rant. |
| 366 | ** In [[TheMovie The Abridged Movie]], at one point Yugi pronounces idea as the British "eye-DEE-er", rather than the American "eye-DEE-uh". With an American accent. |
| 367 | ** In [[TheMovie Bonds Beyond Time]], [=TheAzureCrow=] slips into a Canadian pronunciation of "without" and "about," which Creator/LittleKuriboh [[LampshadeHanging promptly pokes fun at]] during the credits. |
| 368 | ** In episode #2 of Season Zero, Yugi slips into a British accent on the word "fortune". Twice. |
| 369 | ** The pronunciation of Pharaoh is notable for this: the American tends towards 'FAR-oh' (see Eric Stuart's pronunciation is the dub of DSOD, for example) while the English is more 'FAIR-oh', which is what LK uses. |
| 370 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: Mokuba [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this when Kaiba falls for the executives' obvious trap, asking why he's acting "so gullible and out-of-character." |
| 371 | ** In the second episode of the Season 0 series, Kaiba was ''cheerful and friendly''. This strange behavior creeped Yami Yugi out so much that when offered a hug, he threatened Kaiba. |
| 372 | * OverlyLongGag: |
| 373 | ** Yugi's Lampshading of OohMeAccentsSlipping from episode 6 ends up dragging on nearly a half-minute. |
| 374 | ** "Gorgonzola cheese and the world's finest wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..." |
| 375 | * OverusedRunningGag: Inevitably there's quite a few... |
| 376 | ** Enough so for the show to mock itself about it, again, and again... and again... It reaches the point where making fun of itself for overusing a tiny handful of jokes ''becomes'' one of the tiny handful of jokes they overuse. |
| 377 | ** The 2nd anniversary vid takes the cake, as for the top ten thing, they supposedly only had one clip. So, they show the same clip TEN TIMES! |
| 378 | ** And in-series it mocks the original's overuse of the phrase "You don't stand a ''ghost''...of a ''chance!''" |
| 379 | ** Tropers...there's something you should know. I came...to this page...to give you a message: '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Ej7M3xWjY CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!]]''' |
| 380 | [[/folder]] |
| 381 | |
| 382 | [[folder:P]] |
| 383 | * PalsWithJesus: Florence and [[spoiler:[[Franchise/TheSlendermanMythos Slender Man]]]] were college roommates. |
| 384 | * PaperThinDisguise: Malik Blishtar, [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain who certainly isn't that evil Marik Ishtar]]! Slightly less thin in that his [[TheDragon right-hand man Odion]] appears and calls himself "Marik" as part of an EvilPlan. This is immediately cancelled out by the real Marik loudly proclaiming that he'll destroy everything the main characters hold dear and that Odion is doing it wrong. |
| 385 | * ParrotExposition: |
| 386 | ** "They were stolen from me by the Rare Hunters." "Rare Hunters?!" (Seto Kaiba even sounds like Solid Snake.) |
| 387 | ** "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!" "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES?" |
| 388 | * PerverseSexualLust: Yugi, towards Dark Magician Girl. And his grandfather...[[spoiler: towards Black Luster Soldier.]] |
| 389 | * PersecutionFlip: Parodied in episode 36. |
| 390 | -->'''Marik''': Now I will force Yugi to duel the one he loves most. And according to all the FanFiction I've read, that would be Joey. |
| 391 | -->'''Odion''': But Master Marik, it is obvious that Yugi is in love with Téa. |
| 392 | -->'''Marik''': ''WHAT?!'' No way, that's insane! What kind of messed-up fanfics have ''you'' been reading?! |
| 393 | * PhotoMontage: The ending credits to TheMovie. |
| 394 | * PhraseCatcher: |
| 395 | ** "That Kaiba kid needs to get laid." |
| 396 | ** "Shut up, Mokuba!" |
| 397 | ** "What a digital dummy!" |
| 398 | ** In Season Zero, Yugi has "You got ''problems'', man!" |
| 399 | * PlanetOfSteves: Marik is able to knock out the Egyptian militia members hired by Ishizu because the Steve ratio in the Egyptian militia is absurdly high, even though it's not a common Egyptian name. |
| 400 | * PokeThePoodle: Many of Marik's "evil plots" end up as this, such as his plan to rearrange Yugi's sock drawer or give him a pinata without any candy in it. |
| 401 | ** Or trying to fill Yugi's mailbox with grenades... by filling it with pineapples that were painted to ''look'' like grenades. |
| 402 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Repeatedly spoofed, usually via Téa. There's a drinking game on it. |
| 403 | * ThePornomancer: Duke, apparently. |
| 404 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: |
| 405 | ** Admittedly, it's a three-liner, but still: |
| 406 | --->'''Kaiba''': Time for a trip to the recycle bin, Phantom. And then once you're in the recycle bin, I'm going to right-click on it and select "Empty Recycle Bin", because otherwise you would just be taking up unnecessary space. In other words, I'm going to kill you. |
| 407 | ** Also a Pre Asskicking Conversation in Episode 45: |
| 408 | --->'''[[BigBad Melvin:]]''' Very well. If it's a duel you want, it's a duel you'll get. |
| 409 | --->'''[[EvilVersusEvil Florence:]]''' Right you are. And the winner decides if the show gets cancelled or not. |
| 410 | --->'''Melvin''': Then face me, Florence, and watch [[BreakingTheFourthWall the fourth wall collapse around you.]] [[EvilLaugh *evil laugh*]] |
| 411 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Jaden in his few appearances. |
| 412 | * PrisonRape: Referenced at the end of the commentary special with Kaiba and Joey. |
| 413 | --> '''Kaiba:''' That's it--get off my property, mutt! |
| 414 | --> '''Joey:''' Or what--you're gonna sic your Blue-Eyes White Dragon on me? "Oh, no, a big scary holographic monster's gonna eat me! Oh, whatever will I do?" |
| 415 | --> '''Kaiba:''' No, I'll just have you arrested. And you know what happens to cute blonds in the Big House... |
| 416 | * ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Lampshaded. Duke challenges Joey to a duel with the two using decks assembled from random boosters, and he wins fair and square, with the stipulation if he won Joey would be his slave[[note]]And if Joey won, Duke would have to close his game shop, and thus the duel was a severe case of DisproportionateRetribution since the reason Joey disliked Duke was that he was jealous of his popularity[[/note]]. In the scene before the duel, Joey laughs that once he wins, Duke will be out of business and forced to live on the street, prompting Tristan and Téa to remark that he's a noble role model for children. Then when Duke wins and makes Joey wear a dog suit, Yami Yugi declares "you've gone too far, how ''dare'' you force Joey to uphold his end of the bargain!" |
| 417 | * PsychopathicManchild: Melvin. ''Could I get a hug?'' |
| 418 | * PunishmentBox: referenced. |
| 419 | -->Joey: A woman winning a card game? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. |
| 420 | -->Tristan: Didn't [Téa] beat you in the second episode? |
| 421 | -->Joey: Do you want to go back in the box? |
| 422 | -->Tristan: Please don't send me back there! |

| 426 | %%* QueerPeopleAreFunny |
| 427 | * QuipToBlack: Kaiba pulls one off at the end of Episode 44 a la [[Series/CSIMiami Horatio Caine]]. |
| 428 | -->'''Kaiba''': It looks like the rules... [[GlassesPull * pulls out shades* ]] ...just got screwed. |
| 429 | -->--'''''[[Series/{{CSI}} YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]''''' |

| 434 | * RapidFireTyping: Kaiba claims to have learned his "l33t h4x0r sk1llz" by watching episodes of ''Franchise/StarTrek''. |
| 435 | * ReallyDeadMontage: Tristan's original voice. [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead It gets better.]]]] |
| 436 | * ReasonYouSuckSpeech: In episode 60, Kaiba gives one to several of the characters, including Duke, Joey and Tristan... ''Tristan''. |
| 437 | -->'''Kaiba''': Okay, let me make this ''very'' simple for all of you. ''You're losers.'' I don't mean that in an endearing way; it fucking hurts me that I have to interact with all of you so much! Duke, you're a lecherous pervert with a failed game store. Congrats. |
| 438 | -->'''Duke''': Uhh... |
| 439 | -->'''Kaiba''': Wheeler... The only reason anyone even acknowledges you is because your best friend is the "King of Games." You'll probably end up in jail in about five years with bills coming out of your ass because you have absolutely no real life skills. And you're a giant parasite on society and everyone around you. |
| 440 | -->'''Joey''': Well you don't have to be so rude, Koiba- |
| 441 | -->'''Kaiba''': And my name! Is ''not''! Koiba! And Tristan. ''Tristan.'' You are the single most worthless human being I've ever met. |
| 442 | * RecordNeedleScratch: After Tristan pulls up on a motorcycle in episode 27. |
| 443 | * RecycledTrailerMusic: Bakura and Melvin's showdown before the season 2 finale is played beside a nyeh'd version of Lux Aeterna (leading to the episode title "[[Film/RequiemForADream Requiem For A Nyeh]]"). |
| 444 | * ReferenceOverdosed: Hell yeah, it is. See [[http://forum.yugiohabridged.com/showthread.php?t=4055 here]] for a list! |
| 445 | * ReformedButRejected: Justified. [[spoiler: After Noah launches a nuclear missile at the fortress, he returns after he [[HeelFaceTurn has second thoughts]]. While they all grudgingly accept his help, ''none of them'' forgive him. '''Mokuba''' calls him out on how [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrificing himself for their sakes]] doesn't make the situation any less his fault.]] |
| 446 | * TheRemake: Creator/LittleKuriboh has remade the first episode several times; |

| 453 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0IihzFoUlI An Ebonics'd version]] |
| 454 | * RememberTheNewGuy: In chapter 49, during a flashback Yugi tells Téa how much she loves '''the Dark Magician Girl'''. Téa states she doesn't even remember hearing of that monster card before. |
| 455 | * RepeatedCueTardyResponse: Happens twice within one minute during Marik's first Evil Council meeting, when he's about to reveal his EvilPlan: |
| 456 | --> '''Marik:''' Drumroll, please!\ |
| 457 | ''(no drumroll)''\ |
| 458 | '''Marik:''' Come on, is it too much to ask for a '''(EFF)'''ing drumroll?\ |
| 459 | ''(drumroll starts)''\ |
| 460 | '''Marik:''' Thank you, for God's sake. In order to defeat Yugi Muto, we're going to...''play a children's card game with him''! Dun dun duuuuuuun!\ |
| 461 | ''(drumroll continues)''\ |
| 462 | '''Bakura:''' ''That's'' your plan?\ |
| 463 | '''Pegasus:''' I already did that.\ |
| 464 | '''Weevil:''' Yeah, heh heh, me too.\ |
| 465 | '''Marik:''' This will be no ordinary card game! It will...look, you can stop the drumroll now.\ |
| 466 | ''(drumroll stops)''\ |
| 467 | '''Marik:''' Thank you. |
| 468 | * ResetButton: After Crump [[spoiler: takes over Téa's body ]], in contradiction to the canon plot, everyone was left wondering where this was going. Four episodes (and ten months) later, [[spoiler: Marik unceremoniously evicts him. ]] |
| 469 | * RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In-Universe. Téa for Yami after giving "the biggest friendship speech of her life" to Johnny Steps. |
| 470 | ---> '''Téa:''' Brainwashing people is fun! |
| 471 | ---> '''Yami Yugi:''' Yes it is. I guess we have more in common than I thought! |
| 472 | * RestrainingBolt: Odion is a living one of these for Marik's evil side, Melvin. |
| 473 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kuriboh is annoyingly cute and, according to Yami, useful for nothing else. Also he doesn't love him. |
| 474 | * {{Robot Girl}}s: Kaiba has a massive harem of identical pretty robot girls. He created them specifically so that he could shun them with his cold indifference. |
| 475 | --> '''Mokuba:''' Big bro, you're kind of like the anime version of Scrooge [=McDuck=]...only much less fluffy. |
| 476 | * RuleOfFunny: All the time and all the way, it's practically the defining trope of the series. If it might be funny, it ''will'' happen, no matter how completely random, nonsensical, out-of-character, or plain silly, it might be. And if you try to think about it beyond it being funny, you aren't going to get past the first six episodes with your sanity intact. |
| 477 | * RunningGag: Enough to fill another page. To cover some of the most frequent ones: |
| 478 | ** "Duel" and "Duel Monsters" are almost universally replaced with "children's card game." The cast is perfectly aware of how absurd it is that almost every conflict they face is solved with a duel when in real life a simple call to the police (or [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer physical violence]]) would suffice. |
| 479 | ** References to Bakura being a minor character, with characters frequently forgetting who he even is. |
| 480 | ** Joey's "nyeh" VerbalTic, which he can't even hear. |
| 481 | ** Mocking Creator/FourKidsEntertainment, including the NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer caption "Actual 4Kids Dialogue." The many, many other AbridgedSeries running out there are also not passed up. |
| 482 | ** "[=SexyBack=]" playing whenever Duke speaks. You can count the times this ''doesn't'' occur on one hand. This gag is retired in Season 5 due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Youtube's updated copyright rules]]. |
| 483 | ** "Whenever Kaiba smiles, a puppy dies." |
| 484 | ** Mai being a source of {{Fanservice}} due to her breasts. |
| 485 | ** Offhand jabs at the anime's sequels, ''GX'', ''5Ds'' and ''Zexal''. |
| 486 | ---> '''Yami''': I just realized what the {D|G|X} stands for in Yu-Gi-Oh {5Ds|GX|Zexal}: "Don't {watch|make} it." |
| 487 | ** There's a ''5D's'' reference pretty much every time a motorcycle appears. |
| 488 | ** Whenever a clock appears on-screen, Yugi wonders what time it is, usually out loud. |
| 489 | ** Something American will be said about America whenever Bandit Keith is talking...in America! |
| 490 | ** Almost every episode has an own RunningGag. |
| 491 | ** Sexual undertones whenever the main characters are trying to release[[note]]pun ''really'' not intentded[[/note]] one of the Legendary Dragons in front of Dark Magician Girl. She's well aware of this by the second time it happens. |
| 492 | ** "Shut up, Mokuba!" |
| 493 | ** Anyone pointing out that Dungeon Dice Monsters and Duel Monsters are basically the same game, to Duke's eternal despair. |
| 494 | ** Kaiba's obsession with dragons, with everyone lambasting his Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet for being goofy and childish. |
| 495 | ** In the Season Zero episodes, nobody ever acknowledges Miho Nozawa's existence, primarily because she never appeared in the second anime and is a very obscure character, as a result. |
| 496 | ** Whenever Yami summons Celtic Guardian this exchange happens: |
| 497 | ---> '''Yami''': I summon the <adjective> Celtic Guardian. |
| 498 | ---> '''Celtic Guardian''': I'm so <adjective>. |
| 499 | *** Which results in these scenes from episode 73: |
| 500 | ---> '''Yami''': I summon the Sexually Frustrated Celtic Guardian. |
| 501 | ---> '''Celtic Guardian''': I'm so Sexually OH F**K, I'M ON A TRAIN! |
| 502 | ---> ''later'' |
| 503 | ---> '''Weevil''': Now watch as your Obnoxious Celtic Guardian becomes an Obnoxious Celtic Poison Butterfly. |
| 504 | ---> '''Poison Butterfly''': I'm so poisonous. |
| 505 | ** Mokuba's many, many [[DistressedDude kidnappings]] get referenced every time it happens and even as a gag in situations where he doesn't actually get kidnapped. Mokuba even ranks his kidnappings based on what snacks his kidnappers provide. |
| 506 | * RockyRollCall: In episode 61, after [[spoiler:Odion wakes up from his coma, in time to stop Melvin]]. Spoofed when Tristan [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} calls his own name]] and lampshaded when it ends with the scene from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''. |
| 507 | * RunsWithScissors: The cause of Tristan's original voice's death. [[BackFromTheDead He Gets Better]]. |
| 508 | [[/folder]] |
| 509 | |
| 510 | [[folder:S]] |
| 511 | * ScoldingTheFourthWallBreaker: The series is [[NoFourthWall no stranger to breaking the fourth wall]], but it eventually got to the point where breaking the fourth wall itself was an in-universe plot. One episode has Shadi revealing to Yugi that it's his job to prevent the fourth wall from being broken and if it was then chaos would ensue. |
| 512 | * TheScottishTrope: In Episode 40, Bakura says the forbidden word (so evil they had to censor it twice)! [[spoiler:Disney.]] Cue [[Franchise/StarWars Imperial March]]. [[spoiler:And they mentioned it several times two episodes later.]] |
| 513 | * TheScrappy: InUniverse examples. |
| 514 | ** Mokuba is universally detested, to the point that telling him to shut up is considered perfectly excusable behaviour by the other characters. |
| 515 | ** Jaden takes this role in ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'', where Yugi and Yusei repeatedly make jokes at his expense and don't even bother to hide how much they despise him for no apparent reason. |
| 516 | * ScrewDestiny: When Ishizu is shocked that Kaiba is about to win their duel despite her predicting otherwise, he yells "F*** destiny! I am Seto Kaiba! I make my own fate!" |
| 517 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the fifth Evil Council video, [[spoiler: Bakura defects to Dartz's council, thoroughly fed up with the idiocy. Only Marik doesn't agree with Bakura's decision.]] |
| 518 | * SchmuckBait: Melvin repeatedly asks the other characters for "hugs". The only person to fall for it is the doctor aboard Kaiba's blimp, who is stabbed to death when he complies. |
| 519 | * SelfBotchedCatchPhrase: Kaiba is a regular offender, with "ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules" and "Screw The Rules I Have Green Hair!" |
| 520 | * SelfDeprecation: |
| 521 | ** [=LittleKuriboh=] has poked fun about how he slips back into his English accent in the series on several occasions. |
| 522 | ** At the end of episode 29, Tristan decides to show Serenity a very special internet video. |
| 523 | --> '''Video Tristan''': Hello Serenity, you probably can't see me now, but I'm standing in the middle of a field. It is a very romantic image. By the way, will you marry me? |
| 524 | --> '''Serenity''': Jeez Tristan! What kind of lonely deranged freak proposes to somebody over the internet? |
| 525 | --> '''Tristan''': Creator/LittleKuriboh. |
| 526 | ** During the Virtual World arc, Melvin finds a computer playing an episode of the series, whch leads to a joke about Little Kuriboh's frequent {{Schedule Slip}}s. |
| 527 | ---> '''Melvin:''' Oh look, it's Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. This episode has my favorite joke. |
| 528 | ---> '''Text:''' [[ScheduleSlip New episodes every week!]] |
| 529 | ---> '''Melvin:''' Hahahaha! |
| 530 | ** In Episode 63 ("Yu-Gi-Oh Kai!"): Episode 63 primarily consists of mercilessly mocking the majority of what LK did with Battle City and the Virtual World arcs. |
| 531 | *** Little Kuriboh had previously expressed dissatisfaction towards his own scripts during the Virtual World arc. This sentiment spills over into this episode, where he laments wasting Creator/TeamFourStar's acting on unmemorable dialogue. |
| 532 | ----> '''Tristan:''' I'm sure (Team Four Star's) characters will be both memorable and hilarious.\ |
| 533 | ''Cut to a black screen with the word "Oops"'' |
| 534 | *** Little Kuriboh has the habit of changing the characters' original names into something that sounds ridiculous. In this episode, a RunningGag involves someone saying they don't understand the purpose of the name change, followed by another person replying "Nobody does. It isn't funny". |
| 535 | ** Mai's motivation to join Dartz seems primarily rooted in the fact that her character was nothing but breast jokes and references for the first three seasons. Her [[TheOtherDarrin actually getting a female voice actor]] emphasizes this development further. |
| 536 | ** Rex and Weevil develop into their own characters after spending three seasons being [[{{Expy}} parodies]] of WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead. This is explained by the [[ArtifactOfDoom Orichalcos stones]] having the power to, in Rex's words, {{Retcon}} the writer's "stupid-ass decisions". |
| 537 | * SelfMadeOrphan: |
| 538 | ** Marik, in a sense. His mother dies in childbirth and his SplitPersonality kills his father. |
| 539 | ** Played for laughs with Kaiba, who became an orphan after he fired both his parents. |
| 540 | * SeriesFauxnale: "Episode 46 - Melvin'd" ends with the Abridged series apparently getting cancelled. It was actually just a setup for the following season, whose central theme are the repeated copyright strikes [=LittleKuriboh=] received across the years. |
| 541 | * ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Florence says this to Melvin, concerning Marik. To which Marik replies "You tell him, honey!" |
| 542 | * ShipTease: [[ShipTease/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Has its own page]]. |
| 543 | * ShipperOnDeck: Téa. When Joey refuses to tell Mai that she appeared in his dream, she yells at him, saying that as a fanfic writer, she's offended by his not jumping at the first woman to show attraction to him.] |
| 544 | * ShirtlessScene: As part of his duties as a gravekeeper, Marik shows the Pharaoh the tattoo on his back. This scene makes it into the opening of the third season, where the carvings are replaced by the franchise's logo. |
| 545 | -->'''Marik''': ''"Yes, get a load of that back, fangirls. You '''''(EFF)'''''ing love it, don't you."'' |
| 546 | * ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Lampshaded repeatedly. Joey's not sure why they turn up at all since they never even do any actual schoolwork, while season zero Yugi had almost forgotten what teachers looked like. |
| 547 | * ShoutOut: A [[ShoutOut/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries metric ton of these]]. |
| 548 | * ShowWithinAShow: |
| 549 | ** ''Zorc & Pals'' is a fictional sitcom starred by Zorc and Florence, which showcases their lives as a married couple. |
| 550 | ** "Card Game Channel", a one-off show at the end of the Duelist Kingdom arc that broadcasts the matches leading to the final duel between Yami and Pegasus. |
| 551 | ** ''Kill Your Family Show'', which consists of a close-up of Melvin's face repeatedly telling the viewer to do exactly that. |
| 552 | ** ''The Suite Life of Zorc & Cody'', following ''Zorc & Pals'''s cancellation and Zach falling off a blimp to his death. |
| 553 | * SickeninglySweet: In-Universe. Kuriboh's special ability as Yami's deck master. |
| 554 | -->'''Yami''': Kuriboh! Activate Super Chibi Kawaii {{Moe}} Desu Mode! |
| 555 | * SidekickCreatureNuisance: Kuriboh is an adorable small ball of fur, but in episode 48, he gets the voice of the hot dog from ''WesternAnimation/PerfectHairForever'', which is intended to be annoying. The joke is recycled 10 episodes later, when the lambs summoned by the "Scapegoats" card are revealed to have a similar voice. |
| 556 | -->'''Scapegoats''' "Dodabahbahbahbahbahbahbahbahbahbahbahbahbah..." |
| 557 | -->'''Yami Yugi''' "Those are some annoying scapegoats" |
| 558 | * SillyWalk: Enraged that Joey botched a romantic moment with Mai, Téa yells at him for ruining her shipping fantasies and walks off like a pimp. |
| 559 | * SincerityMode: Yami says that Rex and Weevil are his two favorite people in the whole world, the VillainOfTheWeek wonders if that comment was sarcasm, but Yami insists he meant it. |
| 560 | -->"I really like the joke where they are ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''." |
| 561 | * SkewedPriorities: In episode 22, when the gang arrive in the virtual world, they're more concerned about Princess Edena's AmbiguousGender rather than the fact that her kingdom is under attack. |
| 562 | -->'''Edena:''' Excuse me, brave heroes, I'm trying to tell you about the suffering of my people. |
| 563 | -->'''Yugi:''' I think it's pretty obvious why your people are suffering: their ruler is a transvestite! |
| 564 | * SmallNameBigEgo: [[{{Jerkass}} Hank Ishtar]] believes himself to be [[BlatantLies the best father in the world]], despite being an abhorrent abusive father. |
| 565 | * SoapOperaDisease: Played for laughs. In the in-universe soap opera "Zorc & Pals", Zorc says he has a terminal disease. When his partner Florence wonders who will take care of their adopted daughter when he is gone, Zorc simply says that she has a terminal disease as well. |
| 566 | %%* TheSociopath: Seto and Gozaburo Kaiba respectively |
| 567 | * SociopathicHero: Yami in season zero. Every time he emerges from Yugi's puzzle he is accompanied by the theme music of Michael Myers from ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' and quotes a psychopath from a movie. In a twist, this is actually relatively in step with his [[SociopathicHero manga incarnation.]] |
| 568 | * SomethingElseAlsoRises: |
| 569 | ** One of Duke Devlin's duel monsters is a VideoGame/{{Gradius}} space ship that he believes to resemble a phallus. As soon as he summons it, the monster grows to twice its usual size, which he attributes to the fact that "it belongs to him". |
| 570 | ** The "Jiggle-o-meter" in episode 49 gets 'excited' every time a breast appears onscreen. |
| 571 | * SoundEffectBleep: |
| 572 | ** The most infamous being Marik's ClusterFBomb bleep, taken from ''Perfect Hair Forever''. The sound effect can best be described as an angry man yelling "EFF!" Dartz also uses it starting in Marik's Evil Council 3. |
| 573 | ** Paired with ClusterFBomb by Yami when Yugi tricks him into going on a date with Téa. |
| 574 | --->"Yugi, you little (BLEEP)! You son of a (BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP)! I'm going to tear off your (BLEEP) and shove them right up your (BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP) and then (BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP) on your (BLEEP)(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! (BLEEP)!" |
| 575 | ** This joke comes back in Episode 83, when Yami switches places with Yugi in order to get out of explaining who the card Heart of the Giant Bitch reminds him of. |
| 576 | * SoundtrackDissonance: In Episode 45, we have Melvin, Marik's evil alter ego, stabbing his father Hank to death with the Millennium Rod--with Hank singing a parodying variant of Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle," describing what's happening in rather-disturbing detail. |
| 577 | * SpeedyTechnoRemake: Of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4bSp4L8kZg Brooklyn Rage]]", with an amusingly high-pitched Joey. |
| 578 | * SpiderSense: |
| 579 | ** In episode 12 Kaiba says "My Kaiba-sense is tingling" as he is about to be attacked by the Hair Guy. |
| 580 | ** Téa's nipples tingle whenever Yugi is in danger. |
| 581 | * SpoofAesop: The Abridged Movie's aesop is that card games are the answer to all life's problems. Yugi also concludes that the only thing he knows for certain in this world is that there's a strange man living inside his head who tells him to do things. |
| 582 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: |
| 583 | ** Yami Bakura/Florence and Marik show up together a lot in all things related to ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series'' and their banter usually [[OverlyLongGag goes on for a while.]] This is especially clear in the "Come Sail Away" video, which was supposed to feature just Yami singing the song but it ended up being sung by a majority of the cast, with who else but Bakura and Marik getting the chorus part and even getting to talk during the inbetween music. |
| 584 | ** Kaiba and Marik try to become this by stealing Yami's screentime in Seasons 1 and 2, respectively. |
| 585 | %%* StartMyOwn: Done twice in a reference to ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. |
| 586 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: |
| 587 | ** When Kaiba and Pegasus kidnap Grandpa on two separate occasions, someone always points out that the heroes can't just go to the police because they're too rich to touch. |
| 588 | ** During the first Evil Council of Doom, Bakura suggests just stabbing Yugi with a knife, without playing a children's card game. Marik doesn't listen. Besides, 4Kids would just censor it if they did. |
| 589 | ** After Joey is kidnapped by Bandit Keith and challenged for his star chips, he asks Keith why he didn't just take his star chips and vamoose while Joey was unconscious. Keith tells him to shut up[[note]]... in America[[/note]]. |
| 590 | ** In episode 33, when Bakura and Malik are teaming up, Malik brings up his tactic of using mind control, Bakura responds by saying: "Or we could just slice Yugi open with a machete, see if that works." Of course, Malik says he has a better idea involving more children's card games... |
| 591 | * StealthPun: |
| 592 | ** Episode 45 |
| 593 | ---> '''Bakura''': "Does the name 4Kids ring a bell?" |
| 594 | ---> '''Marik''': "How could you possibly know?" |
| 595 | ---> '''Bakura''': "Lets just say I put two and two together..." |
| 596 | ** Episode 52: |
| 597 | ---> ''(Tristan drives out of a warehouse on a motorcycle)''\ |
| 598 | '''Joey''': "Hey, is that a Honda?"\ |
| 599 | '''Yugi''': "No, his name's Tristan."[[note]]Honda is Tristan's Japanese name. This also pokes fun about Honda's name being the same as a Japanese company which produces motorcycles.[[/note]] |
| 600 | * TheStinger: |
| 601 | ** Since episode 17, there has been a stinger ''after'' a stinger. These mostly use an unrelated clip from a different episode of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' dubbed with a memetic sound clip rather than dialogue by Creator/LittleKuriboh - for example, "[[Film/SuburbanCommando I WAS FROZEN TODAY!]]", '''''"[[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon IT'S ME, AUSTIN!]]"''''', Creator/ChristianBale's famous rant at a cameraman, or ComicBook/LexLuthor's "WRONG!" from ''Film/SupermanReturns''. |
| 602 | ** Episodes 39 and 50 have ''three'' stingers. |
| 603 | * StockBritishPhrases: Used often by Bakura. "Lashings of ginger beer for everyone! ... I'm British, you know." |
| 604 | * UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome: Parodied in episode 52. Mokuba gets kidnapped by Noah, but takes it in stride because [[RunningGag he's so used to it by now]]. He even uses the opportunity to get free food and watch cartoons. |
| 605 | * StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream makes an appearance in Episode 34. |
| 606 | %%* StraightGay: Croquet |
| 607 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both Kaiba and Joey make up the WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants theme song on the spot and wind up singing the exact same lyrics. |
| 608 | %%** "Oh my god, a giant rock!" |
| 609 | %%** "Why is everybody in this show a [=* bleep* =]ing ninja/duelist?!" |
| 610 | * StuffBlowingUp: In the Michael Bay's ''Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged'' remake episode, this happens every time Tristan begins to talk. Everyone can hear him just fine in the actual show, though. |
| 611 | * StylisticSuck: |
| 612 | ** In the video that gave birth to the phrase "Card Games On Motorcycles", we get to see [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries Iruka's]] "One Piece: The Abridged Series." It's...interesting... |
| 613 | ** "Everybody Loves Mako" - an alternative version of Episode 6 made in style of early episodes, where, for example, the characters talk even slower than they used to. |
| 614 | %%* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: Done several times, and lampshaded each time. |
| 615 | * SuckinessIsPainful: Marik getting something carved on his back was bad enough, but being forced to watch ''Beverly Hills Chihuahua'' drove him to the dark side. |
| 616 | * SuicideByCop: Kaiba sets this up via a ThanatosGambit in the Duelist Kingdom semi-final, leaving Yugi with a SadisticChoice: throw the match and spare Kaiba's life, or go all-in and kill him. Of course, his friends try to talk him ''into'' killing Kaiba. |
| 617 | * SuicideDare: Kaiba stands on the edge of a building, threatening that if Yugi attacks him he'll be thrown off by the shockwaves, meaning that Yugi has to throw the duel, as he did in canon. Unlike in canon, Yami tells him to go ahead. Later, Yugi sees him again, after having lost the duel: |
| 618 | -->'''Yugi''': Hey, Kaiba, try threatening to kill yourself. That usually works, only this time really do it! |
| 619 | * SunglassesAtNight: Parodied with [[{{Eagleland}} Bandit Keith]]. His sunglasses make it hard to see in the dark, but he refuses to take them off because "I'm an American and Americans always wear sunglasses!" |
| 620 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: |
| 621 | ** Pegasus assures the duelists that "his tournament is 100% genuine, and is not in any way an elaborate ruse thrown together at the last minute so that (he) can get (his) hands on an Ancient Egyptian artifact." |
| 622 | ** In ''The Other Abridged Movie''. |
| 623 | ---> '''Kaiba''': "When I'm through with you, you'll have to take a shower to wash away the smell of defeat. And I won't be watching you do it." |
| 624 | ---> '''Yami''': "Why would you be watching me?" |
| 625 | ---> '''Kaiba''': "I don't know. I just wanted to make sure you knew I wouldn't be." |
| 626 | ---> '''Yami''': "But I never thought--" |
| 627 | ---> '''Kaiba''': "Good. Because I won't." |
| 628 | [[/folder]] |
| 629 | |
| 630 | [[folder:T]] |
| 631 | * TakeThatAudience: ''"A grown man who watches cartoons. That's almost as insane as a grown man playing a children's card game."'' Given the huge number of references to shows and movies from the 80's and 90's, this series is '''not''' aimed at kids. |
| 632 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Coupled with his HeroicSacrifice, Noah attacks Gozaburo in order to stop him from taking Kaiba's body and fleeing the virtual world before the missile hits at the end of the virtual world arc.]] |
| 633 | * TheTalk: When Tristan asks what sex is, Joey begins to explain, only for Téa to cut him off because they can't allow Tristan to breed. |
| 634 | * TalkingInYourSleep: |
| 635 | ** Téa provides a rather disturbing graphic example in episode 60, where she dreams being [[UnusualEuphemism "friended"]] by the Pharaoh. |
| 636 | ** Happens again in the episode after, with Marik having a dream-conversation with Bakura. |
| 637 | * TalkingIsAFreeAction: On the show, despite the implication that duelists often have mere seconds to come up with a game-saving play, time never actually runs out on someone still trying to figure out what to do. The series lampshades how much banter goes on during its source's Duels. |
| 638 | -->'''Joey:''' Are you here to talk, Melvin, or are you here to Duel?\ |
| 639 | '''Yami:''' ''(thinking)'' I always thought those were the same thing. |
| 640 | ** Subverted in [[spoiler:Téa's duel with Crump, in which Téa lost by taking too much time talking as she doesn't know how to play and save herself from a duel ending play]]. |
| 641 | ** Yami is so used to the banter that when Raphael wastes no time with playing Duel Monsters as it's supposed to be played, he's caught off-guard. |
| 642 | * TattooSharpie: Téa draws a smiley face across everyone's hands as a [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship gesture]] in the first episode. Joey points out afterwards that she used a permanent marker. Several episodes later, it becomes a BrickJoke when she asks if everyone remembers the friendship symbol. Even [[TheDitz Tristan]] does, because it took him several weeks to scrub the marker off. |
| 643 | * TemptingFate: |
| 644 | ** This: |
| 645 | ---> '''Tristan''': I sure hope we don't encounter any more intrusive subplots. |
| 646 | ---> '''Magnum''': Did somebody say "intrusive subplot"? |
| 647 | ---> '''Tristan''': Oh, son of a bitch! |
| 648 | ** And then during Joey's duel with Odion: |
| 649 | --->'''Joey''': ''(narrowly avoiding getting hit by lightning)'' [[VerbalTic Nyeh]]! Man that was a close one. I sure am glad lightning never strikes twice in the same--\ |
| 650 | ''(Joey gets hit by lightning)''\ |
| 651 | '''Joey''': '''''IRONY!''' (collapses)'' |
| 652 | ** The doctor in Episode 43: |
| 653 | ---> '''Doctor''': I'm glad I have such a long and villain free life ahead of me. |
| 654 | ---> '''Melvin''': Hi there! Can I have a hug? |
| 655 | ---> '''Doctor''': [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter A Hug? Sure I don't see why not...]] (Switches to a GoryDiscretionShot with the sound of a revving chainsaw) OH MY GOD! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! |
| 656 | ** Mokuba in Episode 34: |
| 657 | --->'''Mokuba:''' I can't believe I've almost gone an entire season without being kidnapped. Wait 'til Seto hears about this! |
| 658 | --->'''Steves who are about to kidnap him:''' Surpriiiise! |
| 659 | --->'''Mokuba:''' Oh, me and my big adorable mouth. |
| 660 | ** Espa Roba in episode 29: |
| 661 | --->'''Espa''' If Jinzo hits my Reflect Bounder it's all over for me! |
| 662 | --->'''Espa''' NO! Jinzo has hit my Reflect Bounder! It's all over for me! |
| 663 | ** In Marik's Evil Council of Doom 4: |
| 664 | --->'''Bakura''': (to Steve Umbris) Shut up you fool or [Melvin will] kill you where you stand! |
| 665 | --->'''Steve Umbris''': Ha ha, I'd like to see him try! |
| 666 | --->'''Steve Luna''': Yes, I too would like to see him attempt to murder us... |
| 667 | --->[Both Steves are chainsawed to death offscreen by Melvin] |
| 668 | ** Kaiba in episode 59: |
| 669 | --->'''Kaiba:''' Now, Yugi, face the wrath of my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon! It is highly unlikely that you have the only card that can stop me from [[OhCrap oh God, you have it, don't you?]] |
| 670 | --->'''Yami:''' I activate De-Fusion! |
| 671 | ** Yami in episode 62: |
| 672 | --->'''Yami:''' I knew Kaiba didn't have the [[UnusualEuphemism Kuribohs]] to blow up the island! Deep down inside, he is just a soft-hearted sentimental- |
| 673 | --->''Island blows up'' |
| 674 | --->'''Yami:''' That cold-hearted son of a bitch! Next time I see him, he gets a kick in the Kuribohs! |
| 675 | ** Kaiba in Episode 77 combined with a TakeThat leveled at United Airlines. |
| 676 | --->'''Mokuba:''' Hey Bro? Are you sure it's safe for us to fly into that weird weather phenomenon? (refering to the strange aurora in front of their jet) |
| 677 | --->'''Kaiba:''' Don't worry Mokuba. Kaiba Corp. is partnered with United. They're Pros! I'm sure everything will be- |
| 678 | --->''Alister starts making ghost noises and flicks the cabin lights on and off'' |
| 679 | --->'''Kaiba:''' Completely boned.... |
| 680 | * TermsOfEndangerment: Melvin calls Yugi "my little hockey puck", and Mai "whore biscuit". |
| 681 | * ThatsWhatSheSaid: In the Abridged movie, the first Christmas special, ''What Would Yugi Do?'' (twice in the same line), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVWmmv-EQmU once out-of-universe]]. |
| 682 | * TheMeMobile: Averted. There isn't a Mokubamobile. |
| 683 | * TheyShouldHaveSentAPoet: Yami's literal reaction to meeting Duke in the clip show episode |
| 684 | * ThingOMeter: The jiggleometer, which rates the level of the breasts on screen in episode 49. |
| 685 | * ThirdPersonPerson: |
| 686 | ** Johnny Steps, the egotistical DDR player. He does this to a lesser extent in the original ''Anime/YuGiOh'', as well. |
| 687 | ** Duke Devlin also does this sometimes. |
| 688 | * ThirdPersonFlashback: This lampshaded this trope occasionally, even making fun of how Téa was somehow able to remember something when she was unconscious. |
| 689 | * ThisCannotBe: "This can't be happening... in America!" |
| 690 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Mixes this meme with VideoGame/{{Portal}}. "The cake is a lie, bitch!" |
| 691 | * ThoseWackyNazis: Kaiba's bodyguards [[Film/DieHard Hans and Gruber]] in episode 39. He asks them to tone it down, and they respond with a resounding "Ja, mein Führer!" |
| 692 | -->'''Hans''': In ze mean time we invite you to look at the city below which will soon be demolished to make room for Herr Kaiba's glorious utopian society. '''HEIL KAIBA! [[CrossestheLineTwice LONG LIVE ZE MASTER RACE!]]"''' |
| 693 | * TooDumbToLive: Many of the characters, and the only reason they live is because the villains are just as stupid as they are. The only one we actually see die, however, is Alistair's brother Mikey, who wanted to ride in a tank, and blow the horn. |
| 694 | * TookALevelInJerkAss: Tristan in season 2 for most of his jokes come to him wanting to have sex with Joey's sister. |
| 695 | * TotallyRadical: The "Singapore Dub", which deeply unsettled Joey. |
| 696 | -->'''Singapore!Pharaoh''' (''In an over-the-top "Surfer" voice''): Dude, Yugi! I think Téa wants to date you! You should wear one of those awesome silver bracelets! Now let's get on our mondo-awesome skateboards and order some bodacious pizza! |
| 697 | -->'''Singapore!Yugi''' (''Same accent''): Tubular idea, Pharaoh! |
| 698 | -->(''We cut back to Joey'') |
| 699 | -->'''Joey''': Geez, and people say MY accent is inappropriate! |
| 700 | * TradeSnark: "With my all new '''''DUEL DISK SYSTEM!'''''... Trademark." |
| 701 | * TransparentCloset: |
| 702 | ** Marik, at least in episode 33. |
| 703 | --->'''Bakura''': So, ''you'' are the source of the gay signal I've been tracking! Though I probably could have deduced that without the use of my Gaydar. It seems we both ha- |
| 704 | --->'''Marik''': What? Whoa, whoa, hold on now! You think that I'm... Look, I'll have you know that I like women! |
| 705 | --->'''Bakura''': No doubt. That's probably why you've dressed yourself like one. |
| 706 | ** Afterwards he's fluctuated between this and AmbiguouslyGay. But seriously, he likes to dress effeminately, hang around with another extremely attractive man, [[YaoiFangirl read yaoi]], flaunt his godlike abs, and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything stroke a phallic symbol suggestively in every other scene]]. |
| 707 | ** Marik actually [[spoiler: outs himself (complete with admitting to having a folder dedicated to thiefshipping on his computer)]] in the 6th Bloodlines video. Of course, when Bakura asks him about this, Marik completely denies it. |
| 708 | * TrapDoor: "I learned this trick from watching ''Manga/ExcelSaga''!" |
| 709 | * {{Troll}}: Mocked in episode 48 and are told to go back to 4Chan. |
| 710 | * TrueCompanions: |
| 711 | ** Mercilessly parodied, especially since Téa serves only two purposes in the show 1. LoveInterest and 2. talking about friendship. |
| 712 | ** "I've been holding in the biggest friendship speech of my life, and now you're going to listen to it!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPpDjiILlM Episode 25, at 5:54]] |
| 713 | * {{Tuckerization}}: |
| 714 | ** Slifer the [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment Executive Producer]] |
| 715 | ** "I hunger!" |
| 716 | [[/folder]] |
| 717 | |
| 718 | [[folder:U]] |
| 719 | * UncannyFamilyResemblance: Espa Roba's brothers all looking and sounding identical to him is poked at. Handwaved by them being inbred carnival folk. |
| 720 | * TheUnintelligible: |
| 721 | ** Zombie Boy, who can only say (and write) the word "brains." Inverted when he joins Dartz's Evil Council. Zombie Boy speaks in perfectly understandable English, but Dartz can't understand a word that he says. |
| 722 | ** Speaking of Dartz. His latest plan for vengeance on Marik? |
| 723 | --->'''Dartz''': We gunna duuuueh heeeem! |
| 724 | --->'''Raphael''': Did... did you say 'do' or 'duel'? |
| 725 | --->'''Dartz''': Duuuuuuuuuueh! |
| 726 | ** Akhenaden from Marik's Evil Council of [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doom]]: |
| 727 | --->'''Marik:''' ''[doing a roll call of villains]'' And finally, Ak... Ak-Ak-Akhun... how do you pronounce this? Akhuna... [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Hakuna Matata]]? [[TheUnpronounceable Look, I'm just going to call you Bob, okay?]] |
| 728 | --->'''Bob''': ''* mumble* * mumble* * mumble* '' |
| 729 | ** Dartz again in the fourth Evil Council video: |
| 730 | --->'''Dartz''': We're going to find Yu-gay Mow-tow...and take his dehck. |
| 731 | --->[...] |
| 732 | --->'''Zombie Boy''': Ehh...is he saying "deck" or "d[bleep]ck"? |
| 733 | --->'''Valon''': Eh, sometimes it's best not to ask. |
| 734 | * UnintelligibleAccent: Dartz has a Cajun accent that makes it hard for others to understand what he's saying. At one point, he even finds himself stuttering because even he can't make sense of what he's saying. |
| 735 | * {{Unishment}}: Crump's fate at the end of Episode 54. |
| 736 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: What, after the death of Yugi, does Florence want the most? For Marik/Melvin to ask him out. In Marik's Evil Council 4, Melvin actually does so, declaring that he is now his boyfriend and they will go out "ten times." This, coupled with [[spoiler: the death of Yugi]] and the [[spoiler: resurrection of "Zorc and Pals"]] causes Florence to joyfully declare it to be the happiest day of his life; of course, it was [[spoiler: AllJustADream.]] |
| 737 | * TheUnreveal: Dartz knows the Pharaoh's real name, but he can't [[TheUnintelligible pronounce it]]. |
| 738 | --> '''Dartz''': It's Ate'em. |
| 739 | --> '''Pharaoh''': Come again? |
| 740 | * UnsoundEffect: *twinkle* |
| 741 | * TheUnSmile: Episode 19. Out of context, a pleasant natural-looking smile. But given who was wearing it... |
| 742 | --> '''Yugi''': Whenever Kaiba smiles, a puppy dies. |
| 743 | * TheUntwist: Invoked and parodied quite a number of times where something so blatantly obvious comes across as a huge shock to everybody else. For example, episode 23 had Bandit Keith steal Yugi's Millennium Puzzle while disguised as a rare hunter and under the control of Marik. Despite it being pretty obvious that it was Keith all along, such as the fact that he kept repeating his "In America" catchphrase, Yugi had absolutely no clue it was him until he revealed himself. |
| 744 | --> '''Yugi''': Oh my God, it's Bandit Keith! I had no idea! Super special awesome plot twist! |
| 745 | [[/folder]] |
| 746 | |
| 747 | [[folder:V]] |
| 748 | * ValuesDissonance |
| 749 | ** In-Universe example. Yugi is horrified when he learns about Slavemas from Yami. |
| 750 | ** In-Universe. Upon returning to the center of his mind, this time without the "help" of Shadi, Yugi comments that he "vaguely remembers meeting an extremely racist caricature". |
| 751 | * VerbalTic: |
| 752 | ** Joey's "Nyeah." Turns out that he's completely unaware of himself doing it, even after singing the opening theme entirely in Nyeahs. Ironically, when he tried to make "Brooklyn Rage!" a catch phrase, Yugi told him to just stick to "Nyeah", prompting Joey to respond with a "Nyeah" said in a manner that suggests he doesn't know what Yugi is talking about. A whiff of a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial in there too. When he said "I still don't hear anything" after the opening theme in question, nobody had said "you're still doing it". |
| 753 | ** Kemo starts every one of his sentences with "Attention Duelists!" |
| 754 | ** Bandit Keith ends almost every single line of dialogue with "IN AMERICA!" |
| 755 | * VerySpecialEpisode: In Episode 17, an advertisement is shown for a Very Special Episode of Zorc And Pals, in which Zorc has a terminal disease, as does his and Bakura's adopted daughter. |
| 756 | * VillainEpisode: Episode 37 is based around [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Florence]]. Yugi is only mentioned in one scene. |
| 757 | * VillainousCrossdresser: It's not Florence's fault his parents dressed him like a girl, but he's definitely a villain. |
| 758 | * VillainSong: |
| 759 | ** Melvin takes it to new heights. |
| 760 | ** Then Kaiba and Normal Marik take it a notch higher, and UNCENSORED. |
| 761 | ** Zorc isn't allowed to destroy the world anymore. However, he is allowed to [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} make a song about it]]. |
| 762 | * TheVillainSucksSong: "Pharaoh's Throne" is one big verbal beatdown of Bakura by Yami. |
| 763 | * VocalEvolution: Obviously. Also lampshaded when Creator/LittleKuriboh uploaded a redubbed version of Episode 1. Compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-32NGYLqwAQ the original]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9bazh8QMao the redub]]. |
| 764 | * VoiceForTheVoiceless: Mako Tsunami, for the ocean. |
| 765 | * VoodooShark: From episode 7: |
| 766 | -->'''Gay Clown:''' Actually, I'm not a clown. I'm Seto Kaiba's evil side brought back from the Shadow Realm by Pegasus-- |
| 767 | -->'''Yami:''' That's even ''less'' believable than the whole ghost story! You don't even know what you are, do you? |
| 768 | -->'''Gay Clown:''' No. |
| 769 | -->'''Yami:''' Didn't think so. ''MIND CRUSH!'' |
| 770 | [[/folder]] |
| 771 | |
| 772 | [[folder:W]] |
| 773 | * WaxingLyrical: In the Conclusion to ''Kaiba's Real Father,'' they track down Pegasus because [[GenreSavvy he's the one who usually explains things.]] When Kaiba confronts Pegasus, he says, "I wanna know where I come from. I wanna know who my father was. [[Music/ForeignerBand I wanna know what love is!]] I want you to show me!" |
| 774 | * WeOnlyHaveOneChance: Yugi discovers the Eye of Anubis in the Abridged Movie and says this. [[spoiler: Ironically, it doesn't work.]] |
| 775 | * WeaksauceWeakness: In his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}'', Marik theorizes that [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]] has a weakness against bathrooms. |
| 776 | * WentToTheGreatXInTheSky: After Yugi's grandpa dies. |
| 777 | -->'''Yugi:''' It finally happened, he went up to that great big basement in the sky. |
| 778 | * WhamEpisode: |
| 779 | ** Season 0's second episode takes a turn for the "[[BigWhat WHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?]]" as not only is Kaiba an actually nice guy, [[spoiler: but ''Mokuba'' is now the closest thing to a villain. Not to mention that the dynamic is reversed and it's Mokuba that's telling Kaiba to shut up]]. Lampshaded soon after it ends with the song "''[[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Everything You Know Is Wrong.]]''" |
| 780 | ** Episode 45 leading into 46. It turns out Melvin is an agent of [=4Kids=] sent to destroy the show, and he does so when he beats Bakura in a duel. The show "ends" with a credits reel listing the cast... until the members of Team Four Star appear at the bottom, and the scene pans out to reveal Noah and the Big Five watching, and the subsequent conversation reveals Noah is the master of [=4Kids=] and TheManBehindTheMan to Melvin. |
| 781 | ** Episode 71. The Pharaoh ignores Yugi and uses the seal of Orichalcos in a selfish bid to win. ''Loses'' the duel after realizing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what he's done]] and Yugi gives up his soul to save his. By the end the Pharaoh breaks down and ''cries''. |
| 782 | * WhamLine: |
| 783 | ** Bandit Keith in episode 23: |
| 784 | --->'''Bandit Keith:''' [[spoiler: Okay, I admit it! I'm not really American! I'm Canadian! Is that what you wanted to hear, you bastard?!]] |
| 785 | ** [[spoiler:Pretty much any time a minor character talks more like their dub counterparts in season 4, namely Mai.]] |
| 786 | ** Episode 81: [[spoiler:Dartz calls Yami by his '''''real name'''''.]] |
| 787 | --->'''Yami''': If you met me, then you must know [[spoiler:what my name is]]. That secret has been lost to me since my soul entered the Millennium Puzzle. So what is it? |
| 788 | --->'''Dartz''': [[spoiler:Well, that one's easy. [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent It's Eytem.]][[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke "Atem" pronounced phonetically]][[/note]]]] |
| 789 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: |
| 790 | ** Bandit Keith steals one of Joey's cards "in the name of America". It is never brought up again. |
| 791 | ** Akhnadin (or "Bob") vanishes after the first Evil Council meeting. True to form the series [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] and {{Hand Wave}}s this with Steve Lunar mentioning sacrificing him in Evil Council 3, and Bakura's ContinuityNod to his off-screen death in Evil Council 4. |
| 792 | * WhatMeasureIsAMook: Brought up in episode 32: |
| 793 | -->'''Yugi''': Marik, you fiend! Why must you use innocent people in your evil scheme?\ |
| 794 | '''Marik/Steve the Mime''': Innocent?! Are you kidding me?! He's got piercings all over his body. You've got to be pretty {EFF} to agree to something like that!\ |
| 795 | '''Yugi''': He's still a human being!\ |
| 796 | '''Marik/Steve the Mime''': He's also a mime.\ |
| 797 | '''Yugi''': Oh. Well, in that case, yeah, I'll kick his ass. |
| 798 | * [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Sister?]]: Yugi tells off Ishizu after she explains Marik's backstory, as it's pretty much her and their father's fault for screwing him up. |
| 799 | ** Florence calls Grandpa out in a deleted scene for violently shaking him awake when he's sick in a hospital bed. |
| 800 | * WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Seen during the end credits of ''Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Movie.'' |
| 801 | * WhoWritesThisCrap: "Actual 4Kids Dialog", "Does Creator/JJAbrams write for this show?" |
| 802 | * WhyDontYouMarryIt: |
| 803 | ** Yami mocks Seto for his obsession with the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Despite his taunting Seto says he's seriously looked into it. |
| 804 | ** "Why don't you marry the pharaoh if you love him so much?" [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse "Maybe I will!"]] |
| 805 | ** Mako Tsunami married the ocean; then they divorced and later got back together. |
| 806 | * WillTheyOrWontThey: Marik and Bakura receive the most ShipTease in the series by ''far'', but whether they're actually on their way to OfficialCouple status or not is up in the air due to how dysfunctional they are, as well as the fact that [[spoiler: if his canon counterpart's fate is anything to go by, Bakura might be in danger of being KilledOffForReal]]. |
| 807 | * WitchWithACapitalB: "You just brought sexy back for the last time, ''[[CallBack wi]][[BurnTheWitch tch]]''!" |
| 808 | * AWizardDidIt: From ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'', when Dark Magician Girl and Dark Magician are SuddenlySpeaking: |
| 809 | -->'''Dark Magician Girl (aka Dark Magician with Big Boobies):''' "Hey, Dark Magician, how come we can talk in this movie?" |
| 810 | -->'''Dark Magician:''' "A wizard did it." |
| 811 | * WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: In episode 52, a possessed Tristan wielding a bokken instantly defeats Kaiba wielding a heavy steel pipe, sending the latter weapon flying through the air. |
| 812 | -->'''Kaiba:''' Well that was highly improbable. |
| 813 | * WorkedShoot: Kaiba's rant in TheMovie (complete with [[LampshadeHanging subtitles]] indicating that Kaiba was going way off-script) |
| 814 | * WorthIt: In episode 58, Joey takes the opportunity to make a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' joke about Melvin's Winged Dragon of Ra. Melvin is obviously [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor not amused]], but Joey says it was still "totally worth it". |
| 815 | * WorstWhateverEver: Invoked in the movie: |
| 816 | -->'''Archaeologist 1:''' The pyramid's collapsing! And I had such a full life ahead of me! |
| 817 | -->'''Archaeologist 2:''' Run away! Run away! |
| 818 | -->'''Archaeologist 3:''' This is the worst honeymoon ever! |
| 819 | [[/folder]] |
| 820 | |
| 821 | [[folder:X]] |
| 822 | * XDaysSince: "X days since last Godzilla attack." |
| 823 | [[/folder]] |
| 824 | |
| 825 | [[folder:Y]] |
| 826 | * YouAreTooLate: Shadi in Episode 45. He arrives twice to "warn" Marik and Ishizu about stuff that's already happened. |
| 827 | * YouFightLikeACow: |
| 828 | -->'''Joey''': You duel like a dairy farmer. |
| 829 | -->'''Kaiba''': How appropriate. You duel like a cow. |
| 830 | * YouHaveToBelieveMe: At some point in Season Four, Téa tries to get the police to help. Unfortunately, they don't believe her because the PlotHoles make too little sense. |
| 831 | * YouMeddlingKids: "Don't you even think of making a ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' reference!" |
| 832 | * YouNeedToGetLaid: |
| 833 | ** This: |
| 834 | --->'''Grandpa (episode 1)''': That Kaiba kid needs to get laid.\ |
| 835 | '''Tristan''': Big time.\ |
| 836 | '''Kaiba's computer (episode 7)''': You really ''do'' need to get laid.\ |
| 837 | '''Bakura (episode 14)''': That Kaiba bloke needs to get shagged. |
| 838 | ** Apparently, he has gotten laid. [[spoiler:But it was 5000 years ago and wasn't any good.]] |
| 839 | * YouSayTomato: Subverted with Dartz. His odd pronunciation of the words "duel" and "deck" makes them sound like "do" and "dick". He asks his subordinates to "do" Marik and bring him Yugi Muto's "dick", yet nobody points this strange pronunciation out, as they're his underlings and must oblige. As a consequence of Dartz making it extremely clear he wants them to duel Marik or bring Yugi's deck, and repeating the words "duel" and "deck" very frequently with his odd pronunciation, they actually think they have to have sex with Marik and bring Dartz Yugi's penis. |
| 840 | ** Suffice it to say Raphael gags when Dartz then proceeds to ask for Mai Valentine's d*ck. |
| 841 | * YouWillBeSpared: Mr. Tweetums, Joey. |
| 842 | * YourCostumeNeedsWork: Marik's Evil Council 3: Marik says this to Bakura despite him ''knowing'' it was Bakura. The Evil Council is meeting near an anime convention, thus [[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself everyone would assume they're cosplayers]]. |
| 843 | * YourHeadASplode: "Think ''Film/{{Scanners}}''" |
| 844 | * YourMom: In Episode 59, Yami tells Kaiba that he "activated" the latter's mother as a way of getting under his skin during their Battle City duel. |
| 845 | -->'''Yami''': Yes, you can stop searching, Kaiba. After all these years, it turns out ''I'm'' your daddy. |
| 846 | -->'''Kaiba''': Rrrrgh. |
| 847 | -->'''Yami''': Eh-heh-heh. |
