Line 9:
** Isn't it obvious? She never solves it!
** Because she refuses to use her powers to cheat. What's the point of playing the game if you just look up all the answers?
** [[Stable Time Loop]] shenanigans! The reason she cannot see into the future to see the answer is if she does then where does that answer come from? It never existed because she never figured it out, and therefore cannot look into the future for it. As for her using her powers to cheat, I think you give her too much credit. I bet she ended up looking it up on [[
** Yep. Seeing into the future won't do her much good if she never solves it in the first place. Like [[That Guy With
** Layton is just THAT hard/
* Atem says that Slifer the Executive Producer makes Kaiba's ego look positively minuscule. Kaiba also says that his Duel Blimp TM is roughly a third the size of his ego. When Atem summons Slifer against Bakura, Slifer isn't all that much bigger than the blimp. For that matter, Kaiba says that no building in the world can contain his ego, but in Episode 47 he notes that Phallic Symbol Island is the only building in the world that can contain his ego. So, [[New Powers
** Slifer making Kaiba's ego look miniscule could be due to the fact that the card is named so because Slifer the Sky Dragon was renamed from Osiris the Sky Dragon by Slifer the...Executive Producer. The audacity of that move is why the comment is made. It's not Slifer's size that makes Kaiba's ego look small...[[Fridge Brilliance|it's his ego]]!
* Does anyone else think that YGOTAS's constant referring to Duel Monsters as a children's card game is rendered moot by the main cast's ages? Yugi and his friends are high-schoolers, Kaiba is clearly an adult and the president of a company based around said card game, and the Pharaoh is, what, 3000+?
Line 19:
** Kaiba is a teenager, he's in school in episode 1.
** I have come to the conclusion that [[Little Kuriboh]] is saying (maybe not intentional) that people saying those things have the same logical process as [[Too Dumb to Live|the characters in the series]].
** The other thing is that we barely see adults playing the game when it's not about some forces of darkness. I think Little Kuriboh makes fun of it in one of the very first episodes. How many adults were there on Pegasus's island? The majority of participants were children!
** Because the game itself is a children's card game. He's mocking both the shows insane in game logic and the adults who play it.
*** And the fact that the fate of world as we know it is often decided by a ''Children's card game.''
Line 30:
** The Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future says himself that he could probably explain away any inconsistencies.
*** ...If you would give him about 10 minutes...
*** On the other hand, in the [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force
* Tea makes a comment about Tristan eventually getting his own episode as a robot monkey. How did she know the series was going to be cancelled and that would happen?
** The same way Yugi knows that Yami's real name is Atem. [[Rule of Funny]].
Line 41:
** Different fourth walls?
** There are five walls.
*** We could argue that there's the one wall between the viewer (us) and the show, and an in-universe wall between the show and the "producers" (the big five). So, it's fine.
*** My theory? There are SIX walls. Like, instead of a square, there's a cube?
*** [[Comically Missing the Point|But then the fourth wall's already part of a cube. Since the fourth wall is based on a room that has three walls, a floor, and a ceiling, the fourth wall is one of six 'walls'...]]
Line 66:
* Anyone else find it hypocritical for [[Little Kuriboh]] to jab at [[Naruto the Abridged Series|Naruto the Abridged]] [[The Movie|movie]] for [[Development Hell|taking long]] when his version of the Anniversary movie is taking just as long? Or is that the [[Hypocritical Humor|joke]]?
** The thing is that he had to wait for the DVD for it to come out. He definitely made the announcement for it early, but that was when the Anniversary movie had only released its trailer. Its ''Japanese'' trailer. It's gonna take a while before the English DVD comes out, while the first ''Naruto'' movie has obviously been out for many years.
** Either way, he shouldn't insult Vegeta 3986 knowing full-well that he announced something years before it could come out, and let's not forget [[

** I kinda think that's part of the joke. Abridgers take jabs at each other all the time. LK even takes jabs at [[Team Four Star]] sometimes...even though [[Take That Me|he IS a part]] of [[Team Four Star]].
* Did anyone else think the "I am a woman and I have no idea what I'm doing" joke was pretty unfair? It's pointed out that 4Kids changed Tea's line about using "women's intuition" into "I have no idea what I'm doing", but that seems like a change to make it ''more'' feminist. "Women's intuition" is basically a way of handwaving away women's intelligence by attributing it to some sort of instinct, which is pretty sexist. By contrast, one particular woman choosing which way to go completely at random seems much more progressive.
Line 77:
** Jaden was in Venice because he was on vacation.
** Apparently not for vacation if this scene is any indication...Jaden has no clue why they're there. (note this scene came up AFTER Jaden claimed he was there on vacation)

'''Yusei''': I already told you no!
'''Jaden''': Oh come on, it'll be fun! :D
'''Yusei''': I'll let you ride my bike if you can tell me one thing.
'''Jaden''': Sure, ask away.
'''Yusei''': Why are we in Venice?
''*[[
'''Jaden''': F*ck it...you win!
'''Yusei''': Always do... }}
** Keep in mind that the movie does have its head up its own anus. Which is why we don't question what attacking Jaden with a dragon has to do with killing Pegasus.
Line 97:
* Am I the only one who thinks LK's Marik schtick is getting rather old? I used to enjoy it, but pretty much every line out of his mouth now is either how he's a [[Transparent Closet|poorly closeted homosexual,]] or how sexy he/his outfit looks. I pretty much spent most of the recent Evil Council video groaning because of this.
