!!Episodes

* In many ways, the climax of Episode 36 comes surprisingly close to being played straight. All things considered, it actually kind of ''works''.

!!Movies

!! Others
* Creator/LittleKuriboh codified the entire AbridgedSeries genre with this series.

* Little Kuriboh redoing the entire first episode in French.
* Not exactly in the show itself, but at a convention, when LK and Teamfourstar [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt_XE_u_AMQ all get up and sing "Don't Stop Believing", by Journey]], in the character's voices. Also counts as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. This troper literally could not stop smiling the entire time.

* Episode 3 of Season Zero. [[spoiler: Yami and the russian vodka trick is just as awesome abridged.]]

** Serious props should go to Takahata101, who, even when doing Dartz's exaggerated accent, manages to deliver the entire speech with absolute sincerity.

** Especially [[spoiler: the Marik/Florence "Stand by Me" duet. Could probably be a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, too.]]

** Also crosses a bit into CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Despite all their bickering, they're basically each acknowledging the other two as worthy of beig Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists (even Jaden).

** Jaden's first turn was also pretty awesome. "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Freestyle time!]]"

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jnCcejkpjg LEATHER PANTS~!]] Also a CrowningMusicOfAwesome.

* Not exactly in the show itself, but at a convention, when LK and Teamfourstar [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt_XE_u_AMQ all get up and sing "Don't Stop Believing", by Journey]], in the character's voices. Also counts as a CrowningMusicOfAwesome. This troper literally could not stop smiling the entire time.

'''Dartz''': Aww, that's the truth, though, Phawowoaoh. No Orichalcamalos magic, no bullshit powers. You're no hewo. You don't even deserve those fwends you surround yourself with. And you certainly don't deserve to keep wiving in Yugaay Muh-to's body. Just give it up. It's easier to find the twuth.

** It has to be said that after 72 episodes of just doing Beavis and Butthead, the Orichalcos retcon lets LittleKuriboh show off a truly amazing Jimmy Zoppi impression. Seriously, listen to Weevil's voice in the 4kids dub, then listen to it here.

--->'''Valon''': Joey's just become the single most badass character in Yugioh! Nothing makes any sense any more!
--->'''Joey''': Gundam RAAAGE!!

--->'''Joey''': Gundam RAGE!!

* Raphael when he sacrifices all of his monsters to power Guardian Deathscythe, Yami epically calls him out on his hypocrisy after Raphael previously called Yami a monster for sacrificing his monsters during their first duel.

--> '''Yami:''' Garbage Day!

--> '''Yami:''' Ushio, baby! How's it hanging? Get it? 'Cause your gonna Die! Hehe...

* The Pharaoh using the combined attack points of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma the Magnet Warriors to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu "totally waste"]] [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Bro]]'s "punk-ass Obelisk." Keep in mind that Obelisk][[PhysicalGod the]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tormentor]] is an '' [[OlympusMons Egyptian God]] '' ''' [[UpToEleven and]] ''' has been [[TookALevelInBadass strengthened]] by the Seal of Orichalcos.

* Even though Raphael's motives are...not the best in the world...he did manage to catch Yami off guard by actually dueling him this time instead of standing around conversing with him. For someone [[CallBack who could only say "ZUG ZUG" for a while]], that's pretty impressive.

-->'''Raphael:''' [[OhCrap Well, well..good. I'm glad this worked out.]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Yay.]]

-->'''Yami:''' Look at you, being all defiant. It's cute. But once I've assembled all my monsters, I'll hurl them at you with my Catapult Turtle in a wave of deadly precision. And as you just finished telling me, a wave is all it takes to break you. It's time to [[RunningGag d-d-d-d-d-]][[BaitAndSwitch die.]] Any final words?

** In that same episode, Joey manages to completely NoSell Rex... and delivers likely the best burn he's ever gotten in the whole show:

* In Episode 64, Yami says that the square root of 16 is Exodia Obliterate. Someone in the Youtube comments ''[[InsaneTrollLogic ''actually found a way to make this work:]]''
-->'''Forgettable NPC:''' Square Root of 16
-->"Exodia Obliterate" is actually the answer.
-->Convert the letters into numbers based on their sequence in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc) and add the values up, which becomes:
-->5 + 24 + 15 + 4 + 9 + 1 + 15 + 2 + 12 + 9 + 20 + 5 + 18 + 1 + 20 + 5 = 165
-->Exodia is separated into 5 different cards, so divide 165 by 5
-->165/5 = 33
-->This is the first episode of season 4, so subtract 1 from 33
-->33 - 1 = 32
-->And Yugi said "bro" 7 times, so multiply that by 7
-->32 * 7 = 224
-->Divide that by the number of seasons of YGOTAS we had so far: 4
-->224 / 4 = 56
-->Subtract that number from the number of episodes we had so far: 64
-->64 - 56 = 8
-->And subtract that by the number of times "Bitch-ass" was uttered: 6
-->8 - 6 = 2
-->And multiply that number by the number of clip shows we had so far in this series: 2
-->2 * 2 = 4
-->Square root of 16 does indeed equal 4
-->So by extension
-->The Square Root of 16 = Exodia Obliterate

* There's also the moment in Episode 44.

** As was the case in Episode 71 above, Creator/LittleKuriboh's performance as Yami is compelling in how it continues to play his rage and sadness at losing Yugi straight.

-->'''Joey''': "A dog peed on you! *laughs* Come on Rex, you should be proud! That was the first ''genuine'' laugh your character has produced on this show!"
