    Seriously, f you have not seen this you do not deserve to live

    This is the best internet show ever. LittleKuriboh is a genius, well and truly. The series is very loosely based on Yu-Gi-Oh, with each character given a new persona all voiced by LittleKuriboh (Except for Jessica). The show follows the general story line of Yu-Gi-Oh, with any flaw or ridiculous point completely blown out of proportion. The show reveals what we all really think about the show, be it the shemales, ridiculous rules of the card game or how ridiculous the original actually is. I think I have laughed more over this show then I have over anything before, ever. I wish the show could become a hour long show with a new one every day, but of course thats not realistic, but I can dream.

    Screw the Rules in America because Shut Up... Nyeh.

    This is the one that started it all; the show that caused abridging anime (and, on occasion, other things) to become an Internet phenomenon. With its parodying of obvious plot holes, clever catchphrases, and pop culture references galore, Yugioh Abridged has humor that nearly anyone can enjoy.

    And yet, even amidst all of the hilarious and incredibly quotable lines, the Abridged Series still manages to retain the basic plot elements of the Yugioh Anime. People who have never seen the show, yet have watched the Abridged Series, actually begin to develop interest in the original series (I've seen it happen). Because of this, the series also serves as a great way to introduce your friends to Yugioh... in a way that's slightly more acceptable than usual.

    LittleKuriboh, the man that writes, edits, and voices nearly the entire show, is a comedic writer on par with the best that Hollywood has to offer, and its inconceivable that he has not been hired to write for television as of yet. The humor, with the exception of comments on Mai Valentine, is suitable for all ages, and is brilliant in both its simplicity and its timing.

    For those of you reading this that have never seen the series, I think it's quite obvious I highly recommend it. For those of you who have already seen the series, I apologize for being so boring and formal, and your mother plays card games in hell.

    The greatest spoof show EVER!!!!

    I love the show Yugioh ever since I was little. I was a huge fan, and I thought it was great. And back in 2007/08 I was so happy to have discovered this show. It's hilarious! I remember when I first watched all of the episodes, I nearly peed myself. And they're still funny 3 years later! Martin Billany aka LittleKuriboh has a fantastic voice talent, great editing, and he perfectly represents the characters with hilarious lines and references. He's a genius, not to mention down right hilarious. I always reference this and NO ONE understands, and it's hilarious to see their faces. I think this is the best abridged series on the internet, PERIOD. I highly recommend this to any anime and non-anime fans who are looking for a great laugh. Proud member since 2007.

    10/10.

    Best Parody Series Ever!

    I love Yu-Gi-Oh! and this Abridged Series is everything that I want it to be. This is easily the best Parody series/movie ever!

    Super Awesome

    I really like the way this show mocks anime and the who Yugioh franchise. I also like the way it makes out like 4Kids is an evil corporation, trying to the the Abridged series canceled. The catch phrases of the characters are well done and I often use them in real life. The one this that does not make sense about this page, however, is the there is no mention of LittleKuriboh in the voice actors, considering he is a main voice actor, anyhow....One of my favorite things about this show is the constant references to other shows, movies and games that makes it just that much more funny. Overall this is an excellent spoof that I recommend to everyone, even if they don't watch Yugioh
