[[The Abridged Series]] of ''[[
Originally removed from [[YouTube]] by Rainmaker Entertainment. Started its third season in mid-December 2009. Due to uploading difficulties with Episode 26, the series was temporarily moved to the ''ReBoot Abridged'' Facebook group [http://www.facebook.com/groups/127771145107/ here]. Has recently moved back to YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/user/rebootabridgedseries here].

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Abridged Series]]: Imagine that! Lampshaded, episode 19:
{{quote|
Enzo: "Abridged Series? No way." }}
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: In the "useless introduction for the episode" Game starting episode 8: "Oh look a weak point."
Line 22:
* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]] (The User): Averted in episode 13. We actually get to see the computer room and the splash screen for The Funhouse. Guess who's playing The User?
* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]]: The bar scene in episode 31.
{{quote|
''Sayin' whoa-oa, Death Blossom Mode,''
''I want my PSP, so give it back,''
''Or I'll shoot you in your face.''
...I've wanted to do that for so long. }}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Hoo boy. Stays just this side of [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]], but who knows what's gonna happen in the later seasons...
* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Played straight for the most part: Saboooom voices all the characters up until episode 19 (though he pulls off Dot fairly well). In episode 19, he has someone else voice AndrAIa, and later, another person for Mouse.
** And then in episode 22, the cast list exploded.
* [[You Fail Logic Forever]]. The majority of Hack and Slash's lines, when they're not [[Lampshade Hanging|hanging lampshades]]. Math jokes, like the infamous [[The Fairly
* [[Medium Awareness]]: A few instances. One major example is episode 14, "Here Comes the SpiderBob!", where the Mainframers are excited for the beginning of season 2, while Megabyte is trying to destroy it.
** Bob, episode 1: "I have a feeling Megabyte is about to make an appearance in a vidwindow."
Line 36:
** Enzo, episode 18: "I just interrupted [Hexadecimal's] scene."
** Hack and Slash, episode 20: "Scene change!"
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Another lampshade dropped by Dot in episode 9: "This has changed from [[World of Warcraft]] into some demented reference funhouse!"
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: Episode 9, "The WOW Factor":

Onscreen text: "(Actual Dialogue)" }}
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: Talking about the channel logos and coming-up-next screen bars that were part of the original recording.
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Mouse is proud of her ability to hax.
{{quote|
* [[PSP]]: What Bob refers to his [[Green Lantern Ring|Keytool]] as. Startled by its abilities in the first few episodes, but eventually treats it exactly the same way as he does for Glitch in the original. Command names tend to differ, though, such as "Activate valet parking!" instead of "Glitch: Car!" (episode 17, to activate the "gearshift" in Bob's car)
* [[Running Gag]]: Several, both single-episode and recurring.
Line 53:
*** [[Team Pet]] Frisket being an "unimportant" character.
*** Mike the TV showing random stuff on his screen via [[Manipulative Editing]]. Causes varied effects, including helping to win a Game by {{spoiler|freaking out Bob's Mirror Clone with [[High School Musical]]}} ("The WOW Factor") and breaking a ''literal'' [[Fourth Wall]] by {{spoiler|showing a clip from a previous episode}} ("Attack of the Black Stripper")
*** The Computer Voice spoiling the contents of a Game, like in the page quote. Happens both on Game Entry (for a Game [[The Un
*** Bob talking to himself while floating in the Web.
*** Matrix never hitting puberty. {{spoiler|1=Resolved by a [[Stable Time Loop]]/[[All Just a Dream]] version of little!Enzo in episode 30.}}
Line 60:
*** Bob saying "That's what she said!" in episode 23. Annoys Megabyte to the point of launching Bob into the <s>Web</s> interwebs portal right before closing it. Good thing Bob {{spoiler|promoted Enzo to Main Character status earlier in the episode.}}
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Between seasons two and three (justified by [[Word of God|a creator blog]]), and between episodes 25 and 26 (justified; see below).
* [[Screwed
{{quote|
** Now that Rainmaker Entertainment is trying to
* [[Screw This Index, I Have Tropes|Screw The X, I Have Y!]]: Megabyte in episode 14. "Screw the producers, I have more strength!"
* [[Genre Savvy|Script Savvy]]: "Um, Dot, I don't hear the game over voice."
* [[Shout
** ''[[Back to The Future]]'': The title of the pilot episode.
** [[Batman]]: Mouse's "Bat-Wing" sequence in episode 26.
Line 71:
** ''[[Inception]]'': The original show's "Where No Sprite Has Gone Before" episode is explained as a dream by Matrix, complete with requisite "''We need to go deeper.''" line.
** ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'': Referenced in this take from episode 17, "Bob The Virus Hunter":
{{quote|
Megabyte: "The same thing we do every night: try to take over the world." }}
** ''[[Pokémon]]'' The Nugget in episode 6 along with sound effect.
** [[Power Rangers]]: The giant robot in episode 20. As well as the power-up lines:
{{quote|
Dot: "Annoying voice *indistinct* perfect-ass force!"
Enzo: "Stupid prepubescent kid trying to be cool force!"
Frisket: "Woof woof woof!" (voiceover: "Dogs can be [[Power Rangers]] too?")
Mike: *shrugs* "Annoying TV side character force."
All at once: "Giant Robot [[Power Rangers]] Rip-Off Force!"
Bob (after camera zooms in to control cabin): "It's time to kick ass and Reboot, [[Chew Bubblegum|but we've got no Game Cube to Reboot in]]." }}
** ''[[Saw]]'': The puppet sequence in episode 24, suggested by Hexadecimal to "make them really shit their pants".
** Spider-Man: Episode 14, "Here Comes the SpiderBob!". Bob even sings his own version of the Spider-Man theme, which Megabyte promptly shoots down.
{{quote|
** ''[[Star Wars]]'': The super-laser in episode 24. Destroyed by an "incoming low-budget 80s horror movie".
{{quote|
Computer Voice in the Sky: Warning, incoming game. *laser explodes, electrocuting Hexadecimal in the process* Holy crap! What was that? }}
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'': The title and music used in Episode 3 "The Legend of Dot".
** ''[[The Price Is Right]]'': The theme music was used infrequently in the earlier seasons. A dance remix was used as the title theme starting in episode 24.
** ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'': Episode 26's Game, naturally. The game also referenced [[Jurassic Park]] (complete with music), and Enzo rebooted into James Bond.
** [[Transformers]]: Mega-Truck in episode 17.
{{quote|
** [[Will It Blend]]: During the "Previously on..." intro for episode 21, this is done with the action shot of [[Attack of the 50
** [[World of Warcraft]]: Episode 9, "The WOW Factor". Full stop.
* [[Naughty Tentacles|Tentacle Rape]]: Actually in the dialogue, episode 19.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: The Computer Voice's lines in episode 9.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Hack and Slash fully prove, in every single one of their appearances, that they are truly [[Tron|eight byts shy of a byte]].
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: Episode 9's intro:
{{quote|
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Along the same lines as the original.
