Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series is a parody that makes fun of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. the abridged is created by LittleKuriboh and dramatically shortens the length of the episodes, and it does not even have the original voices of the anime characters. There are about 46 Abridged episodes. The Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh! basically makes fun of Yu-Gi-Oh! in the same sense that Space Balls makes fun of Star Wars, or Scary Movie makes fun of horror flicks. It's pretty funny actually, or at least I thought it was funny... Of course, it does NOT come close to being as good as the original Yu-Gi-Oh!
The original Yu-Gi-Oh! is way better and always will be. I like the original better than GX and R! I hope I explained the Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh! good. :)

Heyy! Thank you so much for clearing that up! Ive seen a few of the ambriged on youtube and kinda thought that people just edited the original episode clips! I didnt know that there was a series of them! Anyhoo thank you again! =D
Yeah, you were right. People did just edit the original episode clips and post them on the internet. It's not done by a company or anything, and it started out as parodies that were posted on youtube, but the Abridged was so popular that it kinda exploded on the internet and now there's 46 episodes of them. So yeah, there's a whole series now (but as far as I know, you can't buy it on dvd cause it was created by some people on the internet). Sorry I didn't explain it well. You can go to their website to watch all the Abridged at link Yeah, it was that popular on youtube that it got its own website!
Im going to add to the original answer SonofPein gave.
Dont worry about being lost if you watch it. LK for the most part, stays true to the plot of the episodes. So whatever you watch, reguardless of how ridiculous he deviously mangles it, It happened somewhat close to what he made so if Marik dueled Yugi all while Tristan got pulled over because he had unpaid parking tickets, rest assure that in the actual episode....Marik just dueled Yugi.
In rare episodes LK actually makes up parts in the episode as well as takes parts out for comedic effect. You might get lost somewhat but the general Idea will still be there.
I think the Abridged series is a little bit better than the original series because thinking back to it, the original was way too serious. I mean I can understand friendship is important but D@MN!!!
