 * The scene after the credits has this conversation between Kemo and Tristan.

Episode 16

"Bakura: Hey, Pegasus, remember when I said I was going to kill you last? Pegasus: That's right, Bakura! You did! Bakura: I lied."
 * "Come on, Mokuba. We're going to have our own tournament. With blackjack, and hookers. In fact, forget the tournament."
 * Actually, because Kaiba is so obsessed with card games (COME ON, SUMMON IT ALREADY) it's actually "In fact, forget the blackjack and hookers!"
 * This conversation:

"Bakura: Cards? Where we're dueling we don't need cards."
 * From COPS: "Yu-gi-oh was filmed on location with the men and women of the Domino City Police Department."

"Yami: You've got to be kidding me."
 * The episode is almost entirely dedicated to Saw.

"Yami: SNAPE KILLS D-- [many spoilers later...] Yami: --Nicole Kidman is a ghost, and Rosebud is his sled!"
 * This episode also contains the, "What is a man?" dialogue.
 * In the same episode, Yami starts listing spoilers because the villain is an obvious fan of plot twists. He's cut off by a title card, but 3 are heard that sound oddly familiar...

"Marik: What is a man?! A miserable pile of secrets! But enough of this...! I'm out of here. Yugi: Come back here, and take your henchman with you!"
 * And again in episode 30, they have the speech from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, acted out with Yugi and Marik. It does, however, have a twist.


 * At the end of the video, Marik shows the words "Die Yugi Die" on his back. A subtitle later says it's German for The Yugi The.
 * In also the same episode, the opening and the closing theme of said episode is a reference to the theme song of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
 * At the very beginning of the episode: the giant hedgehog who says "Dinsdale" is a reference to the Piranha Brothers sketch from Monty Python.

Episode 31

 * "And now for something completely different... Card Games!"
 * "No, not the smooze!"

Episode 36

 * The "What country you're from?" dialogue after Tristan beat up all the Steves.
 * "You guys are making me sexy, you won't like me when I'm sexy!"
 * Kaiba apparently installed VATS into his Duel Disk system.

Episode 37

 * BAKURA: You sounds nervous; is it the accent? You want to know how I got it? My father was a drinker, one night he went a little crazier then usual, so my mummy got the teapot to defend herself. He didn't like that, so he pours boiling hot tea all over her. Then he comes at me with the teapot and he asks "Why so British?"

Episode 38

 * "THIS IS WHAT JEAN-CLAUDE MAGNUM ACTUALLY BELIEVES"

Episode 39

 * The airship theme plays when the Kaiba-Corp blimp appears.

Episode 40

 * "Tell me something, Yugi: Have you ever dueled with the Devil in the pale Moon light?"
 * "But the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the British, or something along those lines."

Episode 41

 * "Unh... sorry I took so long, guys. Stupid Mass Effect elevator technology."

Episode 42
"Marik: I am Kira, I mean Marik. Yami: And there's the obligatory Death Note reference. I never thought we'd sink that low."
 * When Odion summons Mega Ultra Chicken, it says "Infidels! Thou hast angered the god of trading cards! Now you will never again see the light of day!"

 * When Melvin takes over Marik's body, the "Final Five" reveal theme from Battlestar Galactica starts blasting away in the background.

Episode 44

 * Tristan says "Goddamn it Nappa!" when Ishizu is going over catchphrases. You know the one.
 * "It looks like the rules (puts on sunglasses) just got screwed." YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

 * "I was frozen today."

Episode 48
"Gangsley: It's a double rainbow all the way!"
 * Yugi's deckmaster Kuriboh sounds like the Hot Dog from Perfect Hair Forever. And then there's the (EFF!)bombs.
 * "And now I activate Robot Unicorn Attack!"


 * After smashing a wall down with an ax, Tristan shouts out "Heeeereee's Johnny!"

 * Hobson SMASH!

Episode 50
"Joey: Well, it looks like Johnson couldn't handle the truth! Huh? Huh? Yugi: No."
 * Four Words: Joey Wheeler: Ace Attorney.

 * Which makes sense because Andy Griffith portrayed Matlock.
 * A suit of metal asks Joey where his brother Edward is.
 * Gozaburo Kaiba tells the Hair Guy to punish Seto by having to whip him until his name's Toby.
 * This bit of dialog:

Episode 51

 * Tristan acting out the infamous Big No in Revenge of the Sith, complete with the Imperial March playing in the background..
 * Episode 51 also has a Han Solo-esque "I love you." "I know." confession.
 * The sequence with Kaiba and Mokuba on "Tatooine" has the appropriate background music.
 * The leitmotifs of Mecha Nesbitt and Super Giga Mecha Nesbitt are references to the Iron Man movie and Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, respectively, while Serenity's is the My Little Pony theme song.
 * "Tristan Taylor. RISE."
 * ZUUL Motherfucker!!!

Episode 52
": "The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the guy kicking your ass with a stick.""
 * Kaiba says "Come at me bro." (a shout out to the Rooster Teeth Podcast)
 * Somewhat unrelated, but bonus points to those who are familiar with the term "lad" in an Australian setting.
 * Just before this(as he's picking up the pipe), Kaiba says "Grabbin' a pipe!" which is most likely a Left 4 Dead reference.
 * The Star Wars shout-outs continue on:

"Yugi: Quick, Joey. Use tackle! Joey: Joeyjoeyjoeyjoeyjoey Joey JOEY!"
 * Joey's tackle attack sounds a lot like Pikachu's Volt Tackle.

"Joey: Is that a Honda? (Questioning the motorcycle Evil Tristan is riding) Yugi: No, his name's Tristan."
 * When Evil Tristan rides out of the garage on a motorcycle we get a shout out to Tristan's Japanese name, Hiroto Honda.

Bonds Beyond Time
"Yusei: *Spots Paradox in a photo* Look, it's him! Jack: You found Waldo!? Yusei: It's the guy who stole my card! Jack: Waldo stole your card?"
 * Doctor Who - The opening credits, complete with a Duel Monsters card replacing the TARDIS, followed by Yusei's bike making the iconic TARDIS noise when he leaves his era.
 * Paradox has the same laugh as Mandark, and is accompanied by the theme music to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
 * Paradox having Mandark's laugh is also reference to the Dexter's Laboratory movie which has a similar plot ("I am here for the one who destwoyed the future!").
 * Leo refering to Yusi as Lion-O and saying "Snarf".
 * Also when reading the old news report:

"Paradox: Stardust, here is your chance for an All-Out-Attack!"
 * The Crimson Dragon shouting "ATREYU!"
 * Paradox is able to knock Jaden down. Afterwards:

"Yusei Alright, you time-traveling screwhead! This... is my SIGNER MARK!"
 * When confronting Paradox:

"Jaden: I thought you said you weren't going to let me ride it. Yusei: Everybody gets one."
 * Before Yusei goes back to Jaden's time, the Crimson Dragon says "Once you hit -per-hour..." in an obvious nod to Back to The Future.
 * Just like the Dark Magician said A Wizard Did It.
 * After doing a lot of jumping and dodging fireballs, Jaden says he's glad that he plays a lot of Assassin's Creed.
 * His very first line in the movie is "I'm Batman!"
 * "You can be my wingman anytime, Yugi."
 * Jaden tells Yusei that he sees dead people.
 * After travelling to Yugi's time:


 * "We're Yugioh, we're Yugioh, we're Yugioh, we're Yugioh..."
 * Ah desu desu, bitches!

General/Unsorted/Other
""The power, the absolute power!""
 * "IGNORE ME!!!"
 * After a Master Shake stinger, Mega Ultra Chicken, and the tag team Steves portrayed as the Mooninites, anyone familiar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force can easily see that Little Kuriboh's a fan of the series.
 * And then Kaiba's encounter with The Cybernetic Ghost Of Christmas Past From The Future. Pretty blatant, that.
 * "Wake up Mr. Muto. Wake up and smell the card games."
 * "I am the King!" "You're a looney."
 * "And now for something completely different. Card games."
 * Spiny Norman makes a cameo in one for no apparent reason.
 * In the Season Zero Pilot, Yugi says he would wish for Tea's panties. A reference to Dragon Ball and one of his earlier videos at once.
 * "GARBAGE DAY!"
 * Disney's Aladdin got referenced as well when the puzzle was finally completed:


 * In the manga review, Little Kuriboh borrows a familiar catchphrase of Linkara's: Our hero protagonist, ladies and gentleman.
 * The song Feuer Frei is played in all the chase scenes in the first movie.
 * Of course, there are a few shout outs to the sequels, GX, 5D's and Zexal (or as they call it in the US, GX).
 * LK has also made several parody songs, enough to qualify as an entire album soon.
 * "I'm on a Blimp" has ShoutOuts to Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy VII.
 * Melvin's obsession with hugs may be a reference to End of Evangelion, where, by the end, all of mankind have exploded into a sea of fuel by the dangerous combination of evil, happiness and hugs. His psychotic nature also hints that he might be aiming for this.
 * "I'm staring into the distant past. It's sort of like playing Eternal Darkness."
 * "That's my bread and butter you're (EFF)ing with."
 * In the 2010 April Fools video, the opening for the fake 5Ds Abridged Series is an homage to the show's opening, complete with the camera zooming in on Jack's mouth before the theme kicks in.
 * In recent episodes, he and Linkara have mutually referenced each other, culminating in each doing a cameo line in the other's video.
 * "Who's the Boom King? Tristan's the Boom King!" Shortly afterwords, Tea reprimands him for choosing the wrong time to quote awesome shows.
 * "This is the perfect opportunity for a Lost reference!"
 * No, we're not doing that.
 * Oh, come on. Don't tell me what I can't do.
 * Oh, okay. Maybe just this once.
 * "Let's go find the Smoke Monster!"
 * In the flashback where Serenity moves away from Joey, she shouts "Joey, stop this crazy thing!" from the back of the vehicle.
 * Crump's tendency to lick his lips and hiss is a reference to Hannibal Lecter.
 * From the Yugi VS. Jaden rap battle: Who's the motherflippin'?.
 * There's tons of references to The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on episode 21.
 * And there's another one later when Joey obtains his Duel Disk.
 * Now expanded in "Meet the Kaiba", with the full first episode with Team Fortress 2 quotes. They work surprisingly well.
 * "EA Sports, it's in the card games."
 * On Episode 39 Tristan randomly says, "Zack and Cody are my imaginary friends."
 * This is later made fun of in episode 46, where Bakura says Zork's got a contract for a new show, "The Suite Life of Zork and Cody".
 * The names of the two Nazi-esque Kaiba-corp security agents are Hans and Gruber.
 * Marik Plays Bloodlines has "His hair looks like something out of Space Channel 5!"
 * One episode ends with Howl freaking out and telling Sophie to get off the fucking set.
 * Kaiba almost starts singing "Friday". Luckly the camera quickly cuts away.
 * In a video LittleKuriboh made for a fanartist, Tristan punches Joey and shouts "I am a man!"
 * Probably an Evangelion reference: In "The Other Abridged Movie," when Gary Stu finds out how long the duel between Yugi and Kaiba will probably last, his internal voiceover frantically chants "I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away!"
