''Sgt Frog Abridged'' is an [[Abridged Series]] started by Mugiwara Yoshi and made by [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMidnightFrogs TheMidnightFrogs]. The series takes the characters' quirks and cranks them [[Up to Eleven]] (several characters' [[Jerkass]] tendencies being taken to absurd levels, Keroro creating even more ridiculous schemes to take over Earth, Dororo getting mentally abused throughout his life, etc.), but nevertheless, the premise of the series is the same of the [[Keroro Gunsou|original]]. The writing, however, focuses more on absurdity, surrealism and one-liners than the original's referential humor. Viewers have noted that ''SFA'' is considerably different from [[Keroro Gunsou]].
The series is notable for being a popular and well-received parody of a comedy, something that numerous people found to be a bad idea before they saw ''SFA''. Its fans include a mix of fellow abridgers, [[Keroro Gunsou]] fans, and people who otherwise don't care for [[Abridged Series]] or Keroro Gunsou. It has [http://themidnightfrogs.wikia.com/wiki/Sgt_Frog_Abridged numerous] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130228061904/http://themidnightfrogs.wikia.com/wiki/The_Midnight_Frogs articles] maintained by [[Tropers/Thorn Brain|ThornBrain]] on [http://themidnightfrogs.wikia.com/ the team's personal Wiki], including all of the episodes, side-projects and one-shots, and most of the cast and crew.
The series began its second season on August 25, 2011. The first three episodes were remade in the interim between Seasons 1 and 2. Series creator Yoshi stepped down as writer after Episode 16; Thorn now has creative control, and the team confirm that the main episodic series will end after Season 2.
Other projects done by TheMidnightFrogs include [[TheStrawhatNO!]]!, their [[Let's Play]]/[[Retsupurae]] channel; [[Jetters Abridged]], ThornBrain and BigTUnit1's Abridged Series based on the [[Bomberman Jetters]] anime; and [https://web.archive.org/web/20110302172619/http://futurespassed.com/fpfm/thornbrain/ Thorn's music on ''Futures Passed Free Music''].
