An Abridged Series by a YouTube user named Hethrin based on the Redwall [1] animated series. The series often parodies the many changes that were made in the show, as well as some tropes that appear in the books.

It can be viewed here.

Tropes used in Redwall the Abridged Series include:

Abbot Mortimer: Why do you automatically assume that every rat is evil?
Matthias: Have you ever heard of such a thing as a good rat?
Abbot Mortimer Have you ever watched The Secret of NIMH?

Matthias: As the French say, Sayonara!
Redtooth: The French don't say thaaaaaat!

Asmodeaus: Knock! Knock!
Chickenhound: Who's there?
Asmodeaus: Asmo.
Chickenhound: Asmo Who?
Asmodeaus: Asmodeaus.
Chickenhound: That's... not very funny.
Asmodeaus: It made me laugh. Hahahahaha!
Matthias: I didn't think it was that funny either.

Redtooth: Like, open the gates, or I'll drop them, and stuff.

Cluny: Hello. We are good tourists and not evil rats in disguise.

Abbot Mortimer: Because I am a gullible idiot, I will allow you to enter the Abbey

    • Later in the same episode:

Shadow: This is Just like playing Theif: Deadly Shadows, only their AI is even dumber
