Each episode of this series compresses several clips of YGO episodes into four- to eleven-minute clips, which [[Lampshade Hanging|point out and make fun]] of some of the [[Fridge Logic|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! Entertainment|4Kids]] dub ("Don't move a muscle, or we'll shoot you with our [[Family-Friendly Firearms|invisible guns!]]" "It is heavily implied that you are beating the ever-loving crap out of me!"), as well as lampooning [[Executive Meddling|the policies of the television networks]] that aired the show in North America. [[The Abridged Series]] spawned a [[Follow the Leader|handful of imitators]], but has since become [[From Clones to Genre|an entire genre]] of internet videos and thanks to its expressive [[Post Modernism]], quotes from the series are repeatedly used on this very wiki. [[Ascended Meme|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 [http://www.yugiohabridged.com/ official website] or [http://www.dailymotion.com/littlekuriboh Daily Motion]. Transcripts of the episodes can be found [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Abridged_Transcripts here].
