Crapface I thought Marik's censorship was just for fun.

Big T: Just for Fun? Yep, I'd agree. Anyways, I'm trying to decide if the ! is actually important to this series name. I don't want to make a ptitle if it isn't. I'll look around the net, but I'd like opinions here, too.

Lunaryn: Devil in Plain Sight example has the right trope in Ominous Latin Chanting but not the right description; I'm not sure what music that is, but I'm sure it's not One-Winged Angel. Anyone else know more? —EDIT: Seems the Ominous Latin Chanting page identifies it as being from Army of Darkness... —EDIT 2: Nevermind, seems it's "Ave Satani" from the soundtrack to The Omen.

JK Roo: Does anyone else find Marik's laughably pathetic attempts to kill Yugi and pull off a Most Definitely Not a Villain at the same time somehow incredibly cute? You just want to hug him and give him some tips on how to be a Villain.

Nal: The more that I find out about this Abridged Series the more I dislike it. Also, I don't find it to be very funny. Is that bad?

Morgulion: Do you think that perhaps we should create a separate Crowning Moment of funny page for the series? after all, it hardly does it justice with a single one.


Regiment: Cut

  • Rebecca's Teddybear (yes, you read that correctly): "Your mother plays card games in hell!"

since, well, one funny line does not a catchphrase make. Some of these lines are used only once, or in one episode, or only as a throwaway gag.

Night: That actually is Teddy's catchphrase. He's appeared in Marik's Evil Council (Villans2) and "I'm On A Blimp" (which is even "I'm On A Blimp Feat. Teddy") and has used that phrase in both. If the guy uses it every time he appears, it's a catchphrase. The rest, however, is reasonable.

The Nerdy Ninja: On top of that, removed some more.

  • Téa: "Yugi! What's THAT thing?!"
  • Yami Marik/Melvin: "Whore-Biscuit!"
  • Marik: "IGNORE ME!"

Because, yes, even if they were used approximately three times each in the episode they're in, they have only appeared only in single episodes. Seriously, people. They're Running Gags, and only single-episode running gags. Just because something is used more than once doesn't mean that it's a catchphrase. Make sure that it sticks before you jump in with your over-eager edits.

I kept "to the Mokuba-mobile," though, just to give it the benefit of the doubt. If he keeps using it, good for him. If the next few episodes don't use it, take it down.


Doom Tay: Out of curiosity, does the Dan Green really star in this series or just someone parodying him? The page quote of The Full Name Adventures gives me the impression that he really does.

werd: Only the hardcore fans of this gag dub know. The actors in this are so good, this troper even once mistook them as the same cast from the almost-equally irreverent Venture Brothers.


Lark: What the hell, did the site go down or is it just my laptop failing? I haven't been able to access the site for two days, but the wiki page didn't mention a server crash or anything.
