[[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.
Unlike many [[Abridged Series]], [[Princess Tutu Abridged]] does not reduce the number of episodes in the series. This likely stems from the fact that the [[Princess Tutu|original show]] is itself fairly compact, with important events even in seeming [[Filler|filler episodes]]. Much of the drama, humor, and even some actual lines from the dub, are also left in and used unironically. Characters are exaggerated, but left mostly unchanged. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshading]] is often done by referencing the trope directly by name.
However, this does not mean that the [[Princess Tutu Abridged]] team has not made this parody their own. Despite the [[Needs More Love|obscurity of the anime]], a lot of effort has been put in to making this show enjoyable. Of particular note is their two-part [[Musical Episode|Musical Episodes]], with all voice actors singing very well, even outside their own vocal range. The team specifically tried to avoid the obvious jokes, like the [[Ho Yay]] between Fakir and Mytho, and instead spring for less expected humor, such as Liliae and Pike's [[The Mafia|Ballerina Mafia]].
Line 22:
* [[Bi the Way]]: Mytho invokes this in front of the whole school upon Fakir's return from suspension in Episode 18.
** Duck certainly seems to question her sexuality a lot when she's around Rue.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Nearly all the characters in the series do this from time to time, notably when Fakir notices the spotlights in Episode 8. When Kraehe casually breaks the in-series fourth wall by talking to Drosselmeyer at the end of the first season, she damages it to a point where the rest of the cast may break it more freely.
** Pretty much all of Episode 23 is this.
* [[Breather Episode]]: Duck has a wish granted for one of these in episode Episode 17.
{{quote|'''Duck:''' Poor Mytho, this plot is getting so serious. I wish we could have an episode that's just random shit. Boy would that be awesome.}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: Rue made Mytho his [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] sandwich.
* [[Brief Accent Imitation]] / [[Fake Brit]]: Rue in Episode 9.
{{quote|'''Fakir:''' Enough already! That is the worst accent I have ever heard. It's [[Large Ham|hammy]], [[Pet Peeve Trope|it's annoying,]] [[Rule of Three|and it's driving me over the edge, you stupid crow!]]}}
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The true meaning of Christmas is totally about receiving material possessions, not giving, or [[The Power of Love|love.]]
Line 34:
** There is also a literal [[By the Power of Grayskull]] moment later on as a [[Shout-Out]] to [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]].
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Duck on occasion. "Ballerina tackle!"
* [[Cargo Ship]]: Discussed, parodied, and lampshaded.
{{quote|"Mytho's being paired with the river!"}}
** And Rue and her painful shoes.
Line 44:
** Freya from Episode 16. She was [[Raised by Wolves|Raised By Flowers]] according to [[Word of God]] and is the [[Mama Bear|Mama Flower]] to all her little [[Hearing Voices|'children,']] longing to truly be one of them. Borders dangerously on [[Ax Crazy]].
* [[Couch Gag]]: The original anime's noir-ish intro is paired with an ever-changing voice-over retelling the plot of a fairy tale or popular story (the first episode was [[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows|the three Peverell brothers]]).
* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: Edel is an absolute master at this when giving out advice to Duck. She even Lampshades this in the first [[Musical Episode]].
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Heavily lampshaded with Fakir. "Summon tragic backstory!"
* [[Deus Ex Machina]] / [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]: Lampshaded with a jewel called the former until Kraehe turns it in the latter.
Line 56:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Every bit is mercilessly lampshaded, especially when Autor begins to appear in the second season.
* [[Fractured Fairy Tale]]: The stories at the beginning of the episodes.
* [[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.
{{quote|'''Duck:''' I wonder... should we split up and look for Mytho?
Line 81:
{{quote|"I'm suddenly questioning my sexuality!"}}
* [[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:
{{quote|''We're realizing that true love, is a bitch. This is hell''}}
Line 96:
{{quote|"Mytho, I am ''so sorry'' my [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] tendencies have fucked up your life."}}
* [[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.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Duck is easily distracted by Mytho's hat in Episode 5. "It has a feather in it!"
* [[No Medication for Me]]: Fakir in Episode 10.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Fakir has been taken out by 90 pound ballerinas before.
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Hermia in Episode 19 seems to have lost hers, being the only character in the show so far to pronounce Mytho's name as 'me-tho' and not 'mew-toe.'
* [["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)
{{quote|'''Lilie:''' Pike, why is there a dead bird in our tree?
Line 108:
* [[One of Us]]: The creators are very vocal Tropers and the abridged series runs with as many as it can get away with, subverted, played straight, lampshaded or otherwise. Autor seems to speak in nothing but tropes in episode 21.
* [[Power-Up Food]]: V8, so even you can be a [[Badass]] one more time.
* [[Pants-Free]]: Mytho on multiple occasions.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Pops up as a line during Fakir and Duck's "[[Screw Destiny]]" duet once she becomes human again in Episode 12 Act 2.
* [[Plot Hole]]: Also taken quite literally in the series. Once in Episode 4 and again in Episode 12 Act 1, Edel opens a quite literal plot hole so that Tutu may proceed.
Line 119:
{{quote|'''Mytho:''' I'll take your beautiful [insert body part here]...
'''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
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: One of Mytho's emotions.
* [[Say My Name]]: "And now for the final dramatic touch...DUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"
Line 127:
* [[Shipping]]: Made fun of in episode 7.
** Acording to [[Word of God]] that was done after a [[TV Tropes]] Binge going through the [[Shipping Tropes]] in one sitting.
* [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] / [[Abandon Shipping]]: This begins to happen en masse as the relationship between Mytho and Fakir heats up, leaving both fangirl leagues and the Ballerina Mafia in complete disarray. Some have outright abandoned the leagues to [[The Masochism Tango|go slash]] [[Ho Yay|for the pair.]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: The story in the intro to each episode is a shout out to another work of fiction, not to mention more subtle shout outs during each episode.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Mytho begins staring in the titular 'Everybody Loves Mytho' in Episode 17.
Line 136:
* [[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.)
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Duck in episode 5. "I'm certainly not a magical ballerina princess or anything."
* [[Talkative Loon]]: Duck gets this way whenever she thinks of Mytho romantically.
** In Episode 19 we meet Hermia, who might just be more of a spaz than Duck.
Line 146:
* [[Tsundere]]: Fakir.
* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: Spoofed when Autor is found to speak nothing but [[Conversational Troping]].
* [[United Europe]]: The apparent state of Europe in the world in which Goldcrown resides, or so Femio claims.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Happens to Walker thanks to puberty. Appropriately, it's around when the Prince regains almost all of his heart shards.
* [[Villain Song]]: Mentioned by name. The crows get one in episode 12.
** 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.
{{quote|'''Duck''': Everyone has more problems than me!}}
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Doorknobs, Duck's one true weakness.
