You could fill a thread with nothing but Abridged quotes. Some of the jokes have been so slow burn that we're just finally getting the pay off now:

Goku: Paragon until death!
Vegeta: You ruined it!

You want to know a really slow burning joke? Remember when Gohan yoinked Vegeta's Dragon Ball on Namek and he failed to take it well Well, fast forward to the Story of Trunks Abridged, a whole five years later and...

The Cell Sagae in DBZA is gonna have to top two specific bits from the Frieza saga for me first, because I have yet to not laugh at them even after several viewings. Namely, Frieza's line while being hit by the spirit bomb, and his response to Goku talking about a "pie level".

Don't think so, but maybe some people know of some series out there which are promising at the most, or hilariously disappointing at the least.

The Yugioh one was still pretty alright last time I checked.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Abridged stuff is usually either unnecessarily hateful to the source material and just making GBS threads on it because they think it's bad or really low quality because it's a bunch of kids dubbing their improv over footage with windows movie maker

DBZA is basically the only abridged thing that's not either of those and that's kind of why people know it at all

I think the YGO one came first though and they built off its format and outgrew it so that one might be okay

Pokémon 'bridged is generally pretty good. Its humor stems from absurdity and deviations from the source material: Ash is a bit of an idiot with an abusive family; Misty wants to be a Fire trainer who can act kinda crazy sometimes; and Brock takes Breeding to a point far beyond creepy, and can lactate somehow. It has fairly frequent cameos from the Team Four Star guys, if that's your thing. The voice acting is usually very good, beyond the first couple episodes, where there was just one guy running the show. Nowacking's Misty and Jesse are absolutely spot on, for example.

By the way, Krillen's the best.

Yeah Yugioh abridged was first. It really shows going back to the earlier episodes, and I'd reccomend starting that one at Battle City if you were just getting into it now.

Also, possibly controversial opinion, the DBZA voice cast is the best DBZ dub and I'd pay money for a full serious English dub from that cast.

They've been known to change voice actors (like for Vegeta or Kami), so if they were to re-do anything with Raditz, he'd sound differently

Gantz Abridged (by hbi2k aka Naiiiiiiiiiiil on DBZA) is the only other one I really rate. It's a bit clunky nowadays and the sound quality, frankly, sucks, but still funny as hell in places.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Speaking of their other projects, Hellsing Abridged is amazing.

Or as Taka likes to refer to it as "My personal masturbation series"

EDIT: For the record though, this would be their R-18 series if DBZ is PG. There is a lot of crossing the line 1000 times.

Whoever it was that played Sasha Braus was perfect. I think she only had about 3 scenes and they were the best bits in the episode.

They've only changed voice actors a couple of times, mostly because the original voice for Yamcha and Kami quit the team.

Master Roshi was also recast, though I'm not sure why.

Master Roshi was recast because the entire team agreed upon Lanipator sounding more the part.


As for Vegeta3986, I heard there was some internal arguing going on between him and the rest of the team. TeamFourStar's official word on it is "creative differences".

Actually, I respectfully disagree with you there. For as obviously flawed as this game is, there ARE a lot of really good things about it. The presentation and atmosphere, for example, are the most immediate things. No other Yu-Gi-Oh game goes out of the way to really make

PG? We've got a joke about Dr. Briefs making clones of Bulma's mother in the basement, and "Swingin' Yamcha". Just how much darker can they get :stare:?

Where did the punster go when he was defeated? The "punitentiary"!
So, on the previous subject of good Abridged Series...

There's Team.EXE who are an upcoming group abridging the Mega Man Battle Network anime (or as it's better known as NT Warrior). They only have four episodes at the moment with a fifth in the works. I really want these guys to succeed, they're trying so hard and I like that.

And then there's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Abridged Series done by Antfish. Originally having covered the entirety of the old OVA (okay, it was really two OVAs that get grouped together), Antfish has decided to also abridge the new anime that came out recently, although episodes have been slow to come out. Antfish is a massive JoJo fan and it shows. You'll really only get the most out of it if you've actually READ JoJo and not be a filthy anime watching casual.

On the subject of abridged series, I really like Thornbrain's Sgt. Frog Abridged. They put a lot of work into video editing and they manage to be funny without resorting to the ton of references that a lot of other abridged series do.
