Metal Gear Solid 2 The Sons of Abridgerty

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The sequel to Metal Gear Solid the Abridged Snakes, by LordQuadros. Proposed as an April Fool's Day joke long before the first series was over, this series is nonetheless underway as a legitimate Abridged Series.


Tropes used in Metal Gear Solid 2 The Sons of Abridgerty include:


  • A Date with Rosie Palms: Episode 0 gives us this discussion after it's revealed Liquid is taking part control of Ocelot via his arm.

Liquid: "EVERY time this old bastard yanks his meat I'm the one who has to get in there! And do you know what he's thinking about when he does it? Our dad."

  • Ambiguously Gay: Snake. "We're here, we're queer... I mean, all for one and one fo- forget it." (walks away)
  • As You Know: "Campbell" in Episode 1 explains the origins of the Big Shell, just as in the source material. Raiden has no idea why.

Raiden: Again, these are things that everybody in the world knows...But go on...

  • Bait and Switch: Episode 0 starts with the intro speech to Snake Eater instead of Snake's MGS2 intro, but starts up normally afterward.
    • In the series proper, Raiden attempts a Snake impersonation during the beginning of Episode 1, but "Campbell" tells him to "Knock that shit off".
  • Blatant Lies: Campbell's instant denial of any other intruders being in the base even though Raiden just saw him.
  • Compressed Adaptation: it is an abriged series, after all. Still, it can be startling to see the entire Tanker half of the game squozen into exactly 481 seconds.
  • Creator Couple: LordQuadros and Whip0fAlchemy
  • Cut and Paste Translation: "Oh boy I can't wait to just automatically be at Strut A when the call ends."
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Raiden, eating gunpowder, murdering people, all played for funny.
  • Idiot Ball: Snake points out how RAY, an anti-Metal Gear weapon, shouldn't be something they want to destroy.

Otacon: This means we're against ALL models of Metal Gear, regardless of whether we end up shooting ourselves in the foot.
Snake: Oh, I get it...So we're idiots, now.

Ocelot: "Stop saying Metal Gear!!"

Campbell: "Talk to Rose."
Raiden: "ARRRGGGHHHHH! OH GOD!"

    • Incidentally, it's the exact same reaction to getting electrically shocked.
  • Too Soon: Played with.

Chicknwings The guy's got more screws loose than a BP oil well.
Raiden Whoa! Too Soon!
Chicknwings Really?
Raiden Well yeah. It's 2009, and that hasn't even happened yet.
