No wonder your parents are never around.

I really like this. The voice acting is great, and it's clear that the person who stitched it together really loves the show, even while snarking at it. This is always my favorite kind of parody. (Found via chocorisu.)

Background: Yu-gi-oh is a popular kiddie anime about CCG players, and primarily serves as an ad for the real-life version of the CCG. I cannot knock it too hard because I liked G.I. Joe and Transformers and He-Man and shit when I was a kid, and they too were at once cynical toy ads and great entertainment for dopey lil kids. Heck, I'd probably have been more into the anime-style long-arced melodrama of this show than the punchy episodic nature of those older shows.

I don't watch this cartoon but I once skimmed its WP page, and AFAICT the plot is in fact as screwed up as this wonderful condensed version makes it out to be.

Edit Yikes, there's over a dozen of them, linked from the sidebar thingie on that page. And so far they're all as funny as the first one. "Little Kuribo" has real talent!

oh, god, yeah, Dr. G is totally addicted to those and he's made me watch a few. I find they get tedious after a while, but sometimes are very funny.

That was great! And there's more of these? Cool -- I can't wait to hear him queen it up when he gets to Pegasus!

They're all linked from the sidebar thingie. (Out of order, but they're there.)

I know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oy but that was awesome.

The difference between Yu-gi-oh and Transformers was that Transformers wasn't about a bunch of kids sitting around playing with Transformers action figures.
