Before any mods go locking this thread because there is already a Yu-Gi-Oh thread, listen up, because this is entirely different.
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series is a youtube series created by user, "littlekuriboh." It takes the dubbed 4kids english version of the episodes and shortens them to about 3-4 minutes, and redubs them. Normally, this would be a stupid idea. However, it is just plain hilarious at times. Sure, there are times when the jokes are weak, but there's always something to make you laugh like when Bandit Keith finds a new way to use his catch phrase, "For America."
Aside from the comedy, it actually stays true to the story, telling all the major plot points so that people can actually watch it and get the full story while not having to sit through full length episodes. It doesn't have the Yu-Gi-Oh spirit, but, really, who even wants that? In my own opinion, the actual show is terrible. The plot is paper thin, and the characters aren't any better. The Abridged Series really breaths new life into the show, making fun of itself and never taking itself seriously.

Go ahead, check it out. Go on youtube and search for "yugioh abridged series." Believe me, you'll be glad you did. Yu-Gi-Oh fans will love the satire, and people who never watched it or just plain hate it will love it for all jokes it makes of itself.
