'''''Sailor Moon Abridged''''' is an [[The Abridged Series|abridged series]] headed by Megami33, KrisRix, roll002 and Judgement915, beginning production in 2007. This is one of the few abridged series to have more than 50 episodes, and the first major abridged series created by and starringvoiced aby womanwomen. It tends to rely less on random pop culture and Internet references, and more on mocking the show's general premise and its [[Macekre|embarrassing North American dub]].
 
Season 2 additions include [http://www.youtube.com/user/evilchicken25 EvilChicken25] of [[Gargoyles Abridged]], editor [http://www.youtube.com/user/thenyceleb Lana Shittles], and none other than [[Little Kuriboh]], who cameos as Moonlight Knight. Former members include MaxSkate2001 and Whip0fAlchemy, both of whom resigned for scheduling reasons. Megami33 became a member of [[Dragon Ball Abridged|Team Four Star]] and also does voice work for other series. SMA has been dragged into the [[The War of the Abridged Series Creators]], which they handled in a surprisingly mature way.
 
The series is on hiatus since June 2012, butand the group is still active on [https://www.facebook.com/SMACrew social] [https:/posts/twitter.com/smatweets1233300740071385 mediaannounced] (asin ofMarch 2016)2018 andthat theyit havewill teasedstay athat possible continuation of SMAway.

{{tropelist}}
Line 19:
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Serena can be quite rude with her attention.
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: Can cross into this at times with pointing out flaws in the anime.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: All mentioned [[In-Universe]]:
** The dream footage of Serena apparently marrying Tuxedo Mask ''and'' Andrew in Episode 13/14. [[Lampshaded]] by Serena.
** In episode 32, Queen Beryl's orb does... ''something''...
** Episode 38:
** Both [[Lampshaded]] and subverted in Episode 26/27, where Luna is being chased by a crowd of horny pussies, only to be saved by a large cerulean male cat. "Well, ''that'' was just pointless and weird," she grumbles... but the large male cat turns out to be the [[Monster of the Week]].
** "Here's a completely useless scene, with Raye in pink overalls. Please laugh at your own discretion." ([[Beat]]) "WHAT?"
* [[Bi the Way]]: The villain of [[The Movie]] turns out to be Darien's [[New Old Flame]]. That is, a guy. Although the relationship doesn't seem to have been healthy.
* [[Bizarro Universe]]: In the Remix Episode, the Sailor Scouts are transported to another dimension where everyone's names are different (the Sailors' are taken from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEXqoPgbH0c DiC's pitch reel]), Sailor Mars tolerates her teammates better, Sailor Mercury can't speak English, and everyone in the Negaverse has different personalities as well.
Line 38 ⟶ 32:
{{quote|'''Mina:''' You are on my turf HONEY! We may share a classroom and like share books and share needles but I ain't sharing my clientele.}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: In their version of episode 33, it just focuses on Serena going to (and getting expelled from) the finishing school. Then, before the episode ends, Serena realizes that she forgot something. Cut to the room filled with girls who were frozen in wax by the Monster of the Day and never rescued.
** An earlier example from episode 3, where one of Serena's friends -- afriends—a short, nameless fat girl -- isgirl—is on a treadmill at the gym while her trainer keeps pushing her to go faster. After the "Sailor Moon Says" segment, she's still running and begs the trainer to let her go home. His response: "No. Keep going, Pillsbury!"
*** "I'm still fat from the other episode!"
* [[Butt Monkey]]: In [[Real Life]], Roll002 (Eric). If the bloopers are any indication, he can't get through a single line without messing it up at least a few times. Add to this the fact that he plays villains and, later, [[The Other Darrin|Darien]] (who are, by definition, [[Mr. Exposition]]) and we get a lot of bloopers and a very sarcastic SMA crew.
* [[Call Back]]: Episode 39 is referenced by Artemis in [[The Movie]], when he mentions the moon kingdom had no militia.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Mina and Lita have both noted that bit.<ref> Probably mocking inconsistent English dubs.</ref>
{{quote|'''Mina:''' Venus Anal Beads Vaginate!
'''Lita:''' Whoa! What the hell did you just say, yo?! I thought it was Venus Love Chain Encircle!
Line 53 ⟶ 47:
** A picture of Mina in the movie. (Looks flawless, doesn't it?)
** As well as her rendition of songs from [[Lady Gaga]]... on flute.
* [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]
{{quote|'''Amy:''' You're evil!
'''Raye:''' AND NOT THE GOOD KIND! }}
* [[Catholic School Girls Rule]]: "CATHOLIC GIRLS TASTE BETTER."
** Something tells me she meant it [[I'm a Humanitarian|literally...]]
Line 71 ⟶ 62:
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: "But do not fail me, Jedite, or I will shove these nails straight up your--"
{{quote|[[Brick Joke|"Oh shit, I'm... gonna get nailed."]]}}
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Nephlite, when he proposes they attack [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe|outside of Japan]] -- America—America. He's quickly shot down by Queen Beryl though.
* [[The Danza]]: In episode 17, Megami33 and KrisRix voice a pair of animators named Corinne and Kris. This is possibly lampshaded at the end, when "All About Us" by T.A.T.U. plays.
** In an interview, KrisRix stated that they chose the song because the two Russian girls from T.A.T.U pretended to be gay, and the animators of that episode were gay, so they thought it would be funny (but then again, that makes two good reasons to play that song).
Line 80 ⟶ 71:
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]:
{{quote|'''Artemis:''' Run Luna! Run off that pregnancy!
'''Luna:''' What?! [[Someone's Touching My Butt|I thought you said that was your tail!]]
'''Artemis:''' Run it off, bitch!}}
** We all know it ends with [[Early-Bird Cameo|Diana]].
Line 109 ⟶ 100:
{{quote|'''Tuxedo Mask:''' "Unconscious girls can't say no!"}}
** Again in episode 30, when Zoicite teleports Darien and Serena, who is unconscious, into the Negaverse's lair.
{{quote|'''Zoicite:''' Welcome Tuxedo Ma- [[Inconvenient Summons|whoa, there! Am I interrupting?]] Do you wan't me to close up that pod again, give you a minute to finish up there?
'''Darien:''' [[Not What It Looks Like|No, no- she's just passed out.]]
'''Zoicite:''' ''(scoffs)'' That doesn't change anything. }}
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: {{spoiler|Sailors Uranus and Neptune show up backstage while the evil clown ruins the ''Snow White'' play and attacks everyone, but decide to wait a few episodes before they start randomly appearing to save the Sailor Scouts.}}
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first few episodes contain a [[Laugh Track]], and footage from the first 30 episodes seem to retain [[Di CDiC]]'s added censorship and effects (such as the [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]).
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Serena blatantly displays Les Yay when she first meets Raye and Mina.
{{quote|'''Meeting Raye:''' Wow! I wanna be a lesbian for her!
Line 130 ⟶ 121:
* [[Filler]]: Parodied to the most logical extreme.
** An example being episode 32, in which they just point out all the important (and not-so-important) plot points.
*** "Plot Point 4: [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|Beryl's Orb did...something]]" ("Sorry, it does that sometimes. Ignore it! What were you saying?")
** Episode 33 cuts out the fighting, leaving just the finishing school plot.
** Amy was left for dead in Episode 34. But then again, considering it's filler, [[Snap Back|it won't even matter.]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero|The Heroine]]ine - Serena, [[Designated Hero|supposedly]];
** [[The Lancer]] - Raye;
** [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]] - Amy, again, [[Informed Ability|supposedly]];
** [[The Big Guy|The Big]] <s> Guy</s> [[The Big Guy|Girl]] - Lita, also [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|supposedly]];
** [[The Chick]] - Mina and Amy (the latter referred to as "the useless girl");
** [[Tagalong Kid]] - Rini;
** [[Sixth Ranger]] - Darien (like he had a choice);
** [[Team Pet|Team Pets]]s - Luna and Artemis.
** Spoofed when Mina joined:
{{quote|'''Lita:''' We're totally a full-fledged team now, [[Jive Turkey|yo]]!
'''Amy:''' Why are we ''now'' a team? Were we ''waiting'' for a fifth person for some time?
'''Raye:''' SHUT UP AMY!
'''Amy:''' No, really, why is this a team? We have four planets, and a moon. What about the other planets-
'''Raye:''' ''SHUT UP, AMY!'' }}
* [[Flanderization]]: Par for the course, being an [[Abridged Series]].
Line 245 ⟶ 236:
** Sailor Moon once turned her tiara into a "lesbian trapper", binding the [[Monster of the Week]]. When Luna asked Sailor Moon how she did that, she answered, "Hell if I know! This show makes no sense!"
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh|Nobledude's Laugh]]: Zoisite and Malachite laughing must be heard to be believed.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: All mentioned [[In-Universe]]:
** The dream footage of Serena apparently marrying Tuxedo Mask ''and'' Andrew in Episode 13/14. [[Lampshaded]] by Serena.
** In episode 32, Queen Beryl's orb does... ''something''...
** Episode 38:
** Both [[Lampshaded]] and subverted in Episode 26/27, where Luna is being chased by a crowd of horny pussies, only to be saved by a large cerulean male cat. "Well, ''that'' was just pointless and weird," she grumbles... but the large male cat turns out to be the [[Monster of the Week]].
** "Here's a completely useless scene, with Raye in pink overalls. Please laugh at your own discretion." ([[Beat]]) "WHAT?"
* [[Non-Serial Movie]]: Played for all its dodgy canon by being put right after the ''first'' season rather than somewhere in the second.
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: The "actual dub dialogue" has become a staple of the series, to the point that there are now several of these lines per episode.
Line 267 ⟶ 264:
'''Serena:''' ...And pizzas, and pretzels, and chips...
'''Luna:''' Okay, Serena, I get it.
'''Serena:''' ...And cotton candy, and corn dogs, and hot dogs, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|dogs in general]]...
'''Luna:''' This is Japan, not Korea! }}
* [[Pals with Jesus]]: As an unseen character, who tends to speak up with an annoyed "''What?''" if someone takes His name in vain. Amy seems to be his favorite, though.
Line 317 ⟶ 314:
* [[Schedule Slip]]: A rather serious computer crash delayed [[The Movie]] one and a half months past its scheduled airdate of New Year's Day 2010.
* [[Screwed by the Network|Screwed By The Website]]: Megami33's account got suspended on October 26, 2010 due to copyright claims.
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: Zoisite gets really [[Mind Screw|Mind Screwed]]ed by this. It has been established that his/her gender is in fact "void".
{{quote|'''Zoisite:''' What? You want me to wear a skirt?
'''Queen Beryl:''' What's wrong with that?
Line 327 ⟶ 324:
** Episode 36/37 is pretty much one giant reference to the Pokémon dub.
* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]: ''Very'' silly. It's an [[Abridged Series]] after all. However, parts of the flashback sequence in episode 39 are [[Cerebus Syndrome|definitely serious.]]
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: Rare female version on episode 20 -- after20—after Molly sees Nephlite fight back against the demons who kidnapped her, the ''demon'' says, "I think I just wet my panties -- and not with pee-pee." (It's an easy mistake to make, but one of the bloopers ''has'' KrisRix saying it in the Molly voice and Megami correcting her.)
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: The '''*honk*'''ing effect is so popular, the creators have apologized<ref>They actually called it a Halloween treat</ref> for [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|forgetting to use it from time to time]].
** Episode 2 contained some additional sound effects as the students watch an ambulance take away Miss Haruna:
{{quote|'''Serena:''' Seriously guys, that mother'''*slide whistle*''', monkey'''*foghorn*''', doughnut-sucking '''*bicycle horn*''' failed me. Who cares if she dies?
'''Molly:''' Aw, Serena, you're a total bitch!
(''[[Laugh Track]]'')}}
* [[Spexico]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. The caption before episode 43 starts is "Today's episode is brought to you by España" (Spanish for Spain), but the background picture shown is the Mexican flag.
Line 370 ⟶ 367:
''' {{spoiler|Raye}}:''' I'M GONNA STRANGLE HER! }}
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Tidus in episode 9, Amy if you don't have the volume cranked up, Artemis when he's being particularly drunk, and Rini, the little girl who [[Cousin Oliver|suddenly appeared]] in the movie.
* [[Uncanceled]]: In 2010, Megami33's channel was suspended, removing the entire series in the process. They are currently being re-posted on https://web.archive.org/web/20101202001637/http://sailormoonabridged.blip.tv/.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: Rose! (See also [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]] up above.)
** Episode 26/27: "Shut your damn piehole, Serena!" Shove!
Line 405 ⟶ 402:
** If you listen to the bloopers, you'll occasionally hear the SMA crew have a terror-flavored one after KrisRix lets loose with Raye lines.
* [[You Do NOT Want to Know]]: Where Luna keeps all the sailor items.
{{quote|'''Amy:''' [[Ass Shove|How did you fit that up there?]] Do you want to get dysentery?
'''Luna:''' Trust me, where ''I'm'' from, every cat can fit much bigger things than [Amy's computer]. }}
* [[You Never Did That for Me]]:
{{quote|'''Alan:''' That girl has such passion. I want to lick her [[Tropic Thunder|Booty Sweat!]]
'''Anne:''' You never like MY Booty Sweat anymore! }}
** Another example came in the first season finale:
