Every episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series ever, ranked from worst to best by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The worst episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series!
As the name suggests, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series is a dramatically shortened down version of the original series, cutting each episode down from its original twenty minutes. This includes episodes in two or more parts. All characters in the series are voiced by LittleKuriboh, even the female ones, adding to the comical effect of the parody.
#1 - Who's That Mokémon?
Season 2 - Episode 6 - Aired 5/20/2008
The Battle City Tournament starts off with a bang as Yugi goes head to head with a rather forgettable henchman, Joey feels the ANIMOSITY, and Mokuba starts down the treacherous journey into kidulthood. Also, John Zhang.
#2 - Magnum Farce
Season 2 - Episode 16 - Aired 4/10/2009
An egotistical actor who tries to force large-breasted women to marry him even if it means resorting to criminal abduction.

Also, you and me? We're done professionally.
