By the time Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series exploded in popularity, he had committed to abridging every episode of the series. LittleKuriboh initially intended to only abridge the first episode, but after a very positive reaction, he continued to abridge the following episodes. After seeing 'Curtdogg's' "'Yu-Gi-Oh!' in a Nutshell", a parody of the first season of the second series, LittleKuriboh sought to flesh out his concept, parodying a single episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!, while also seeking to make it appeal to people who had never seen the series before.

The concept behind Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series was inspired by many short parodies on the internet that used the premise of a film of TV show to lampoon the film or show it came from. The series returned with a fifth season on January 9, 2021.

The series was on a hiatus from 2018 to 2020 due to Martin Billany's commitment to professional English dubs such as writing the English translation for the Brazilian Netflix original series Reality Z and dealing with his mental health. These vary from hand-drawn animations (usually drawn by somebody else), sketches, videos that make fun of a phrase from the dub or juxtapose it with other scenes, and even music video parodies (sometimes with the help of others). In addition, Littlekuriboh has created many other short videos set in the same universe as Yugioh: the abridged series. Though set in alternate universes, these two series carry on many of the themes and running jokes of the mother series. As of episode 57, it has gone back to being called "The Abridged Series".īillany also created two spin-off series, one based on Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters, and one based on the first anime series. Season 3, renamed Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Cancelled Series, began on May 25, 2010. For example, the end of episode 2 featured Téa and Yami Marik as Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively, in a scene from the Superman Returns trailer. Rather than just making fun at the original series, other elements have been added throughout time to the parody.Īll episodes would end with a scene from the anime juxtaposed with audio from another source. The humor of the series has constantly varied and expanded from its original premise. There are also jokes that break the " fourth wall". It also lampoons the changes made to the series in the English dub, and greatly exaggerates the characters' personalities from that version, to comic effect. This leads to frequent commentaries about the role of the game in the series and the plot of such. The series is focused on making fun of the eccentricities of the series, most prominently the fact that Duel Monsters is a children's card game, yet is played by teens and adults with unfaltering seriousness and unreal consequences. However, the Season 3 villains were voiced by a number of other YouTube voice actors, mainly from the group Team Four Star. A notable exception of this were the characters of Rebecca Hawkins in the regular series and Gary Stu in the Other Abridged Movie, which were voiced by LittleKuriboh's now ex-wife, Abigail, mostly referred to by her screen-name Safty.

During the first two seasons, all characters in the series were voiced by LittleKuriboh, even the female ones, adding to the comical effect of the parody. This includes episodes in two or more parts.
