Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Yami Yugi: Wait a minute! Did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?

Seto Kaiba: Yeah. So?

Yami: That's against the rules, isn't it?

Kaiba: Screw the rules, I have money!

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (The Cancelled Series for the Virtual World arc) is a Gag Dub and Affectionate Parody of the second anime series of Yu-Gi-Oh! (the one most commonly known around the world), done by a guy known as Little Kuriboh (real name Martin Billany). Each episode of this series compresses several clips of YGO episodes into four- to eleven-minute clips, which point out and make fun of some of the really absurd plot points of the series (just how does Kaiba manage to climb that cliff with a briefcase in his hand?) and a lot of the changes made in the 4Kids dub ("Don't move a muscle, or we'll shoot you with our invisible guns!" "It is heavily implied that you are beating the ever-loving crap out of me!"), as well as lampooning the policies of the television networks that aired the show in North America.

The Abridged Series spawned a handful of imitators, but has since become an entire genre of internet videos and thanks to its expressive Post Modernism, quotes from the series are repeatedly used on this very wiki. As well as by a few of the actual voice actors. Martin and his show are now part of Channel Awesome, the home of That Guy With The Glasses!

After some time Little Kuriboh eventually went to doing the same process with "Season 0" (the Short Runner based more closely on the original manga), giving special attention to the Adaptation Displacement and animation quirks of the earlier series.

Videos of each episode can be found at the official website or Daily Motion. Transcripts of the episodes can be found here. The YouTube account has been terminated and reinstated eight times. By NAS/TV Tokyo bots, no less.

There are so many Shout Outs in this series that it got its own page.
