{{work}}

 

[[The Abridged Series]] of ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' by [http://www.youtube.com/user/TutuOnAbridger Tutu On Abridger]. Has a lot of fun with the nonsensical aspects of the series.

** Pretty much all of Episode 23 is this.

* [[Breather Episode]]: Duck has a wish granted for one of these in episode Episode 17.

* [[Brick Joke]]: Rue made Mytho his [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] sandwich.

* [[Brief Accent Imitation]] / [[Fake Brit]]: Rue in Episode 9.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: The true meaning of Christmas is totally about receiving material possessions, not giving, or [[The Power of Love|love.]]

* [[Buffy-Speak]]: "Listen to the voices of the flower... baby... things"

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Duck on occasion. "Ballerina tackle!"

* [[Cargo Ship]]: Discussed, parodied, and lampshaded.

** And Rue and her painful shoes.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Fakir has a few. ("Don't lie to me!", "Called it!", "MORON!", as well as "Cool!" when he was younger.)

* [[Genre Savvy]]: In Fakir's case, this causes many people to think that he is schizophrenic.

** Rue, at least if she every gets into a horror movie situation.

'''Rue:''' Duck, have you ever watched a horror movie once in your life? When someone disappears you ''don't'' split up to look for them. }}

* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: Drosselmeyer can't wait for the <s>[[Cat Fight|Cat Fights]]</s> Bird Fights.

* [[How the Character Stole Christmas|How The Character Stole The Abridged Series]]

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: We get one of these in Episode 19, much to Drosselmeyer's lament.

* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: In the words of [[LOLcats|Ceiling Cat]], "One cannot truly know the ceiling until one has known the floor."

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Tutu blocking Fakir's sword with her fan.

* [[Laughably Evil]]: The crows.

* [[Les Yay]]: Invoked by Duck in-universe, when thinking about Rue.

* [[LOLcats]]: Mr. Cat is a failed attempt. His Grammar was too good to qualify.

* [[Love Epiphany]]: "HOLY CRAP! I LOVE RUE!"

* [[Love Hurts]]: Rue and Mytho's dance is still this from Rue's point of view with Mytho being upset about his loss of good looks. Also this line:

* [[The Mafia]]: Not just any mafia, the ''Ballerina'' Mafia.

* [[Maximum Fun Chamber]]: Mr. Cat's punishment for defying his will or or attempting to assassinate him. The students avoid it like the plague.

* [[Moral Guardians]]: The Conservo-Sloth from Episode 16 is portrayed as one.

* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Used word for word in episode 20.

* [[Musical Episode]]: Episode 12. Fakir is not pleased. And then again for Episode 24.

** [[Filk Song]]

** [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Rue feels this, in her own way.

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Anteaterina in Episode 2. "Adding 'Anteater' onto something doesn't make it my name!"

* [[Never Learned to Read]]: Duck never did. Well, not [[Gratuitous German|German]] anyway.

* [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]: Fakir commenting about writing a letter to the President in episode 20 has a subtitle saying "Actual Dub Dialogue. Seriously, WTF?".

* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: Fakir. "Did I just get taken out by a ninety pound ballerina? Damn, not again." (Episode 5)

'''Pike:''' Again? }}

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Done on purpose with Femio, who goes through several European accents in episode 17.

* [[Rage Against the Author]]: Even ''more'' so than the original, as of episode 22. {{spoiler|The characters not only notice the internal fourth wall, but the external one, making contact with (and deciding to fight) the abridgers themselves.}}

* [[Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud]]: Used in the second part of the first [[Musical Episode]]

* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: Drosselmeyer blames most of Season 2's plot on the [[Shipping|Shipping Bridge]] getting Duck and Fakir together.

* [[Running Gag]]: What would an abridged series be without them? Quite a few, including pantsless Mytho, "Shiny?", Edel's ghost music, and Duck's perfect ass.

** A new one shows up in season 2:

'''Kraehe:''' (offscreen) Heart, Mytho }}

** A few less obvious ones are "Creeper", Naming tropes, gravity, The Shipping Bridge, How Krahe's outfit stays up, "Burns" in episode two, and the Occult, the latest even going as far as being mentioned in the comment special

* [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!]]: Invoked by Femio repeatedly. "Oh [[A God Am I|Kira]]/[[God|Haruhi]]/[[Satan|4Kids]] pour judgment upon this sinner."

* [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]]: Rue has this.

* [[Spinning Paper]]: One is included in Episode 4 reading, "[[Meanwhile Back At The|Meanwhile]] in the Piano [[Everything's Better with Penguins|Penguin]] Cave"

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Not in the show itself, but in a bonus [[Fanfic]] ostensibly written by [http://www.fanfiction.net/~professurlionxgoose4evar Mr. Cat]. (Not safe for work.)

** The real song featuring Princess Kraehe was left out, but later released with the episode's [http://www.4shared.com/dir/26265367/9ead0a33/Princess_Tutu_The_Abridged_Mus.html soundtrack].

* [[Wangst]]: Duck slides into this when Drosselmeyer convinces her to drown in the Lake of Despair.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Doorknobs, Duck's one true weakness.

** Blue flowers.

* [[We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties]]: During the [[April Fools]] video where Elf and Blade pretend to have a falling out.

* [[While Rome Burns]]: Mytho and Tutu dance the night away while Fakir bleeds to death and Edel burns herself alive.

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: The [[Christmas Episode]], of the [[How the Character Stole Christmas]] variety.

* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: "My name's Duck. Yes, like the bird. Take it up with my parents. (They never loved me...)"

* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: The cast in episode 13 trying to figure out exactly how Kraehe's dress stays up.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Autor eventually turns out to be this.

* [[You Bastard]]: Parodied several times from episode 22 onwards, once {{spoiler|the external fourth wall finally breaks down, and it's pointed out that the characters are all suffering for your amusement.}}

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: It's implied {{spoiler|that Rue made out with Fakir}} sometime around episode 4.
