->"Don't cha wish your card games were! Fun! Like! Mine!"
-->'''-Yami Yugi'''

!!Tropes
* BigDamnHeroes: Joey, Tristan, and Tea naturally arrive just in time to save Yugi.
* ChekhovsGun: The chain Yugi puts around the Millennium Puzzle at the start of the episode is the only thing that prevents its theft. Of course, it also caused him to be nearly burned alive.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Marik punishes Bandit Keith's failure to steal the Puzzle by playing the French national anthem inside Keith's head. It's enough to trigger a FreakOut big enough to set the whole factory on fire.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The title, considering that “Yami” is Japanese for “darkness”.
* IdiotBall: Yugi hands his Millennium Puzzle over to a suspicious-looking stranger just because he wants to get his fortune read. When characters as ditzy as Bandit Keith and Tea are able to call you out for your stupidity, you ''know'' it's bad.
* LameComeback: The only comeback Yami can come up with in response to being called a slut is to dub Yugi "Smally [=McSmall=]".
* MindControlDevice: The Millennium Rod, which Marik uses on Bandit Keith.
* PaperThinDisguise: Bandit Keith's disguise isn't actually that bad, but then there's the fact that he doesn't bother to hide his voice and still uses his signature CatchPhrase...
* SoulJar: Yami Bakura turns a piece of the Millennium Puzzle into one for himself.
* TotallyRadical: Ryou Bakura tries to use this trope to sound more American. The outdated slang does not help him.
* VillainsOutShopping: Yami Bakura spends the better part of the episode just trying to find gay people.
* WeakWilled: According to Marik, Americans are very easy to brainwash.
-->"Whatever you say, Mr. President!"
* WhamLine: "Okay, I admit it! [[spoiler: I'm not really American! I'm Canadian]]! Is ''that'' what you wanted to hear, you bastard?!"
