1* ActingForTwo:
2** [=SpecialForm12=] voices both Dans.
3** [=HyperJacob96=] voices Kiriya and [[CrossDressingVoices Saki]].
4** Madds [=McCool=] voices Emu and Makoto, and in episode 5, she also voiced Burgermon. She voiced Balance and Yakumo in ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged'' as well.
5** [=GokaiOrange=] voices Takeru and the announcer in ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged''.
6** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhArcVTheAbridgedSeries AzzyFox]] reprises his role as Kouta from his and Mana's ''Series/KamenRiderGaim Abridged'' Oneshot in TheStinger of episode 4, and later voices Ren Amagasaki in the series proper.
7** Karn voices Lucky and Kaito.
8** [=ProtoDubs=] voices ''a lot'' of characters, including Hiiro, Hiiro’s dad, [[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiChouSuperHeroTaisen Another Hiiro]], Parad, Graphite (from episode 3 onward), and [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Onari]] (from episode 2 onwards). This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2LtcPIDvP4 video]] takes it up to eleven, having him do every character's lines in episode four and claiming that his recordings are edited to sound like the original voice actors after the rest of them died, leaving him to voice everyone.
9* ActorInspiredElement:
10** Several things involving Nico are references to stuff that her voice actress Mage likes.
11*** Nico liking ''Ghost'' and jumping to Takeru’s defense is pretty much how Mage reacts when anyone talks negatively about ''Ghost''.
12*** When Emu and Asuna first meet Nico, she can be heard humming the ''Zyuohger'' theme. Mage, despite having mixed feelings on the show itself, adores Yamato Kazakiri and has referred to him as her husband numerous times. Mage also plays Amu in ''Chou Super Hero Taisen: The Abridged Movie''.
13*** In episode 5, Nico has a line about Website/ThisVeryWiki's page putting Emu under TheFriendNobodyLikes. Mage is a troper and has contributed to this page herself.
14*** Nico’s [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull transformation phrase]] is a reference to ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'', which is her favorite season of ''Anime/PrettyCure''.
15** Kuroto’s redneck accent from Nico’s failed use of Bang Bang Shooting and Masamune’s Australian accent were introduced by [=SpecialForm12=] on a whim.
16* ApprovalOfGod: The people behind the series have shared [[https://twitter.com/washi_no_ouja/status/925068965050830852 fan]] [[https://twitter.com/washi_no_ouja/status/1006547147016294402?s=09 art]] made specifically for the abridged series on social media.
17* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Marcos has several projects aside from ''Ex-Aid Abridged'' and ''Ghost Abridged''. He makes “History of” videos[[note]][[FollowTheLeader inspired by]] [[Creator/LewisLovhaug Linkara]]’s ''WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers''[[/note]], livestreams, specials, and more. This has gotten to the point that he has put [=ProtoDubs=] in charge of scripting ''Kyu The Dub''.
18* TheCastShowOff:
19** Mana (Poppy's voice actor) gets to show off their singing skills quite a bit, even singing a cover of the Jingle Bells song in the show proper.
20** Mage also gets to [[DoItYourselfThemeTune sing Nico’s insert song]].
21* CharacterBlog: One for, of all characters, [[https://yandermage.tumblr.com/ YanderMage]].
22* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
23** Some weird examples involving Website/ThisVeryWiki.
24*** In episode 5, Nico remarks that TV Tropes put Emu under TheFriendNobodyLikes. At the time the episode came out, the TV Tropes page for ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: The Abridged Series'' did have an entry for that trope, but it stated that ''everyone'' somewhat qualifies to each other and only specifies Takeru as a particular example among the cast. It was not until after the episode was released that the TV Tropes page was subsequently edited to make Nico's statement accurate.
25*** During a [[https://youtu.be/xJjWUIvbc5s?t=1795 cast commentary]], Emu’s voice actress pointed out that a TV Tropes contributor misheard her line in episode 5, saying that the teal Ex-Aid actually calls ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' archaic rather than arcane (see SophisticatedAsHell on the main page). Like the above example, the page was soon edited to correct the mistake.
26** Played straight with NICO NICO ★ RIDE FEVER. In it, she mentions that it’s “been three years” since there’s been a female rider, obviously referring to [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kamen Rider Marika]]. However, before Nico transformed, [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Alia transformed into a Rider]][[note]]Albeit for less than one episode[[/note]], and in the actual show, Poppy transforms into Kamen Rider Poppy a whole ''two episodes'' before Nico has the chance to become Ride-Player Nico.
27** Episode 8 has Kamen Rider Poppy state that her stats are equal to [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Fruit Jesus]]. According to the [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary information]] that this line is referring to, the ability parameters of Kamen Rider Poppy are actually more than ''three times'' that of Gaim’s Kiwami Arms, not equal.
28* CreatorsFavorite:
29** Marcos has said that the Graphite & Saki ghosts are his favorite characters in the whole abridged series.
30** Graphite is Proto’s favorite character to voice, which he admits in TheStinger for episode 8.
31* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: [=ProtoDubs=] considers episodes 2 and 3 his favorites because they set up the {{Running Gag}}s in the series.
32* CrossDressingVoices:
33** Madds [=McCool=] is the voice actress for Emu, [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Makoto]], and Burgermon. In ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged'', she also voices [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Yakumo]], [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Shouichi]], and [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Balance]].
34** [=HyperJacob96=] does a ''very'' convincing girl voice, and even voices Saki.
35** Yoshitaka’s voice actress is Zony.
36** With [=ProtoDubs=] having [[ActingForTwo multiple roles]], it was inevitable that he would fall under this at some point. In his case, he voiced Hiiro’s assistants Satsuki and Mizuki in “Hiiro's Goofy Movie”.
37** Surrounded by Perverts, who voices Grandma Fumi in the third episode of ''Ghost Abridged'', is male.
38** Poppy/Asuna’s voice Manabingu came out as nonbinary in 2020.
39* DeletedScene:
40** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj_PiTkTwW8 video]] goes includes several deleted scenes and bloopers.
41* EnforcedMethodActing:
42** Madds [=McCool=] actually wrapped a belt around her neck during the scene when Emu remarks on having been [[TooKinkyToTorture choked by someone in spandex]] as Genm strangles him.
43** Maddie also jammed a fork into an electrical socket while recording the sounds Emu made when he failed to use ''Drago Knight Hunter Z'' for the first time.
44** [=HyperJacob96=] reportedly blacked out from shaking his head so vigorously to produce the noises Lazer makes when Dangerous Zombie weakens him.
45** Both Mage and [=ProtoDubs=] started to cry themselves when they recorded their characters crying in episode 13.
46* FollowTheLeader: A couple other tokusatsu-based abridged series came out in the wake of this one. Some, like WebVideo/KamenDriver, even using a similar cast.
47* HeAlsoDid:
48** Poppy’s voice actor Mana is one of the creators of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhARCVTheAbridgedSeries''. The other creator, [=AzzyFox=], played Kouta in episode 4 of ''Ex-Aid Abridged'' and voices Ren Amagasaki in this series as well.
49** Mentioned above under ActorAllusion, Kiriya’s voice actor [=HyperJacob96=] is a significant contributor to the online rap battle community, making his own rap battles and even working on the team behind “Epic Rap Battles of Pokémon”.
50** [=ProtoDubs=] and [=SpecialForm12=] have toku podcast called ''Bugster Bros'', and often end each episode with an improv skit playing their characters from ''Ex-Aid Abridged''. [=SpecialForm12=] is also known for making translations and fansubs of various toku media, like next episode trailers.
51** Aside from voicing Yoshitaka, [=Zony11=] used to be a typesetter for TV-Nihon's fan subs.
52** [=GokaiOrange=] is currently an annotator for [[WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries The Annotation Station]], and was even the one who suggested they do ''WesternAnimation/WhereOnEarthIsCarmenSandiego''. Naturally, his contributions can be recognized by the orange annotation boxes and tokusatsu references.
53* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Episode 7 introduces Ren Amagasaki and features him recruiting Asuna into joining him. Ren and Asuna are respectively voiced by [=AzzyFox=] and Manabingu, aka [=YugiohKetchup=], the creators of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhARCVTheAbridgedSeries''.
54* {{Irony}}:
55** Despite the joke of [=ProtoDubs=] voicing everyone, the rough cuts of ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged'' played in some streams show that Marcos accidentally forgot to include [=ProtoDubs=] in the ending credits. This was noticed and fixed before the final cut was released.
56** Kanon, Edison Damashii, and Grandma Fumi only have one line each in the entirety of ''Kamen Rider Ghost: The Dead Abridged Series''. Their voice actors, Mage, [=SpecialForm12=], and Surrounded by Perverts, are the only members of the cast who actually like ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'', making their limited presence in the abridged series rather ironic.
57* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The episodes are all unlisted/deleted. The most you'll see now is a compilation video that put together funny moments from the series.
58* MagnumOpusDissonance: While the fanbase has criticized episode 2’s reliance on what could have become {{Overused Running Gag}}s and catchphrases and generally feels that the show started GrowingTheBeard around episodes 3 and 4, [=ProtoDubs=] favors episode 2 specifically for those exact reasons of establishing the running gags and catchphrases.
59* TheMerch: Marcos has begun selling [[https://teespring.com/stores/marcosatsu-stuff T-shirts]] with designs based off of jokes from the abridged series, such as the Henshin DLC and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Parad's name]].
60* MissingTrailerScene:
61** The trailer for ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged'' has a line from Another Hiiro about working at a homeless shelter, but this was omitted from the final cut because Marcos wanted to be [[ShowDontTell more subtle]] in characterizing him as a better person than the real Hiiro.
62** Kaito has a line in the trailer for ''Kamen Sentai Gorider Abridged'' that references the ''Gaim Abridged'' Oneshot, but it wasn't in the actual special.
63* TheOtherDarrin:
64** Shbebly the Great voiced Secretary Hinata, Graphite, and Onari in their debut appearances, but [=ProtoDubs=] has been voicing those characters afterwards.
65** ''Gorider Abridged'' has Kaito and Yoko voiced by Karn and Zephryn, respectively, rather than their original voice actors from [=YugiohKetchup=]'s ''Kamen Rider Gaim Abridged'' Oneshot, [=ZoidsBN=] and [=AzzyFox=].
66** Taiga’s voice in the “[[https://youtu.be/owJtVgyc6f4?list=PL9bNdPQEs2bw8K8kjy_rav0UEBe919Aiw Where does Dan keep his Bugvisor?]]” comic dub was provided by AJ of Toku Podcastu rather than Smith Danigans.
67* TheOtherMarty:
68** The deleted scenes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj_PiTkTwW8 video]] includes lines for Emu that were recorded by a different voice actor before Madds [=McCool=] was cast.
69** The TotallyRadical-speaking Ride-Player in episode 8 was supposed to be voiced by Surrounded by Perverts, but Marcos had forgotten that his lines were already submitted months prior to the episode’s release and had [=GlennShiraishi=] record them at the last minute.
70** Haruto’s voice actor [=XenoBlazeVA=] also recorded lines for Young Haruto in Wizard X Decade, but Young Haruto is voiced by Surrounded by Perverts in the final cut.
71* RomanceOnTheSet: Between Mage and Karn.
72* ScheduleSlip: The third episode of ''Ghost Abridged'' was planned to be released on AprilFoolsDay, but was delayed due to some of the voice actors not having submitted their lines yet.
73* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Marcos’s channel was temporarily terminated after Toei issued copyright claims on it. Other episodes have also been removed or blocked from viewing by copyright strikes.
74* ThrowItIn:
75** The Book of [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kouta]] was an ad-lib made by Takeru’s actor, [=GokaiOrange=], during a top ten video.
76** Most of episode 5 (and ''Ghost Abridged'' episode 2) was ad-libbed, according to Marcos. Examples include Nico's TV Tropes line and Kuroto's redneck accent.
77* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Enough for [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/KamenRiderExAidTheAbridgedSeries its own page]].
78* WordOfGod: Some of the voice actors for the series are tropers and will reveal official details by hiding them on TV Tropes itself, though you’d have to look into the edit history and figure out who’s who to know which statements are from them.
79* WordOfSaintPaul: [[https://twitter.com/SpecialForm12/status/978736422386585600 SpecialForm12's interpretation]] of episode 7 is that abridged!Emu using the Maximum Gamer is symbolic of him embracing the part he played in [[spoiler:creating ''Mighty No. 9'']].
80** Mage has said the reason Nico's transformation phrase changed from “It’s Nico time!” in episode 5 to “Let's play! Kamen Rider! Modulation!” when she actually transforms is because she was so inspired by Taiga’s heroism that she let go of her grudge against Emu, and wanted to show him that he didn’t have to fight alone.
81** Mage has also written a short prequel for Nico, explaining what her life was like before she met Taiga.
82* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: The abridged series was in its planning stages while the original ''Ex-Aid'' was still airing, and released its first episode about two-thirds of the way into the season’s run, so some details from the initial plan had to be changed to accommodate developments in the actual series, like Nico’s prominence and Graphite’s revival.
83* WrittenByCastMember:
84** Although Marcos is the main writer for every episode and usually doesn’t voice act for the show himself, episode 2 was collaboratively written by him, [=ProtoDubs=], and [=SpecialForm12=].
