It seems that a lot has changed since Yu-Gi-Oh got one of the first "abridged series" to gain a major profile online. Now it seems nearly every anime (and the odd cartoon or two) has gotten the treatment: Dragonball, Naruto, Tokyo Mew Mew, even Azumanga Daioh!
So, at this point, I figure it's safe to ask:
Which Abridged Series do you like best?
Here's mine:
English avant-gardist Chriddof created a pair of shorts based on an old pilot for a show called "Sally Sargent," which analyzed the pilot while going off on their own absurdist bent. There's a few not-safe-for-work moments, but overall, it's entertaining.

Here you go.
 
In my opinion, Yu-Gi-Oh! is the only good one.

Also, an abridged of Azumanga Daioh? What's the point of making an abridged show of a comedy based on 4-panel manga?
 
I loved watching Littlekuriboh on youtube with his yugioh abridged before he got banned. That will always be my favorite if nothing else because it was the first.
 
I liked the Yugioh abridged series, and the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time one. But the Yugioh one was much better.
 
If I'm going to be quite honest, I think Team Four Star has finally surpassed YGOTAS as the best Abridged series currently out there. YGOTAS is still great, but the past five or so episodes of DBZA have been downright sublime. Not only has the writing been consistently hilarious, but the acting (for want of a better term) has been absolutely breathtaking (Lanipator's Vegeta stands out in particular).
LittleKuriboh's Naruto Abridged has been fantastic as well, despite the fact that around 80% of its content is non-episodic.
I used to enjoy GanXingba's Avatar Abridged and DarkSideIncorporated's GX Abridged, but the former never updates and the latter seems to have fallen apart (how it's going to survive without ShadyVox, I have no clue).
 
Aside from the obvious two, there's Pokémon, the 'Bridged series (1KidsEntertainment), and DarkSideIncorporated's Yu-Gi-Oh GX Abridged (Jaden cameos in LK's series once in a while)

For the shorter ones, DSInc's one-shot Abridgimon, and the obligatory Friendship is Witchcraft
 
i love the yugioh abridged series. its so funny. (screw the rules. I have money!)
