[YGO: TAS] Thankyou – Web Awards
December 17, 2009 at 7:25 am | In Other Stuff | 5 CommentsTags: itunes, littlekuriboh, mashable, open web awards, youtube
Little Kuriboh is a really humble guy. It is, I think, one of his best and most respectable qualities. Modesty is something that’s seen all too infrequently from successful individuals in today’s busy world, even less so from those who’ve built their success on the anonymous and impersonal Internet realm. LK isn’t even someone who was seeking fame and recognition when he created Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. It happened anyway though. And yet, despite single-handedly producing a piece of work that’s become a worldwide success — a phenomenon, even — LK has always put his friends and fans first and has never arrogantly flaunted his achievements. That’s just the kind of stand-up guy he is. It’s no surprise, then, that LK has made a big thank-you video that gives big, big props to all of his supporters, including the guys from the official YGO: TAS fansite, TGWTG, Rooster Teeth (whoa, I didn’t know LK worked with them!), TeamFourStar, the other competitors and winners in Mashable’s Open Web Awards, and many more folks.
Since the start of the Open Web Award finals, the number of subscribers to LK’s channel has climbed from around 79,000 to over 87,000. The 107 videos on CardGamesFTW today have over 17.8 million total views. The YGO: TAS Twitter and Facebook pages have thousands of followers. Now that CardGamesFTW has been voted Funniest YouTube Channel, these numbers will only increase. What does the future hold for LK, his channel, and his beloved series?
In other news, YGO: TAS is back on iTunes! Hooray! And here I was thinking that everyone had given up on it already! I’ll update my YGO: TAS indexes sometime in the near future with links to the many new episodes made available for download.
CardGamesFTW Wins Award for Funniest YouTube Channel
December 16, 2009 at 1:24 pm | In Other Stuff | 4 CommentsTags: littlekuriboh, mashable, open web awards, youtube
Little Kuriboh’s YouTube channel, CardGamesFTW, has won the category of Funniest YouTube Channel in Mashable’s 2009 Open Web Awards! After almost a month of online voting, CardGamesFTW defeated competitors ShaneDawsonTV, Smosh, LoadingReadyRun, and RayWilliamJohnson in the third annual international competition. A big congratulations goes to Little Kuriboh, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, and all of LK’s brilliant creations! Thanks for bringing a smile to the faces of so many people across the globe!
[YGO: TAS] Yami – My Antidrug
December 12, 2009 at 4:59 pm | In Other Stuff, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series | 4 CommentsTags: littlekuriboh, youtube
Earlier today, Little Kuriboh uploaded “Yami – My Antidrug,” a parody of a 2003 public service announcement (PSA) featuring Yami that encouraged kids not to use marijuana. LK’s version is an almost word-for-word replicate of the original PSA — with an obligatory YGO: TAS-themed twist of course!
LK’s PSA was created for a online charity event that the That Guy with the Glasses crew ran on December 5. The fundraiser benefited the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana and raised over $31,000! A recording of the live event is available: part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
LK’s video aired at around 51:30 in part 3. The TGWTG team didn’t seem to get it, haha, though Doug agreed that card games are a better addiction than drugs, especially if the game is the Geek Fight! CCG.
The original PSA, called “Honor: My Anti-Drug,” was created through a partnership between the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and 4Kids Entertainment in the summer of 2003 and could be found on yugioh.com and freevibe.com.
This isn’t the first time that the Yu-Gi-Oh! anti-drug PSA has served as fodder for LK. Back in episode 6, Yami made a proud and memorable declaration: “Actually, I do smoke marijuana! It’s gooood stuff.” I wonder how many people caught the reference back then.
[NTACFSSS] Dragonball Radio Cameo
December 12, 2009 at 5:07 am | In Other Stuff | Leave a CommentTags: blogtalkradio, dragonball radio, littlekuriboh, naruto, youtube
Naruto from Little Kuriboh’s NTACFSSS crashes a recording of Dragonball Radio! Radio guest MasakoX of TeamFourStar is caught completely off-guard when Naruto executes a PHONE CALL NO JUTSU~! during the show (at around 17:20), resulting in surprise, confusion, and an (inadvertent?) Airplane reference. Also, Naruto’s phone number is apparently 11111111.
Okay, to be fair, LK doesn’t call in just to crash the recording session. He also asks a legitimate question and respectfully requests that the spotlight stay on MasakoX rather than himself. You’re a good man, LK. :)
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series on Facebook

Little Kuriboh’s Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series now has an official Facebook page! Check it out and become one of their fans! Right now, they’re looking for convention photos featuring LK and the YGO: TAS staff, so if you have any, send them in!
The official YGO: TAS page was unveiled yesterday evening via Twitter and looks like it was created by helixD, one of the moderators on the YuGiOhtheAbridgedSeries.com forums. The official page joins the dozens of other unofficial YGO: TAS pages, groups, and characters profiles already on Facebook. XD
This, by the way, is YGO: TAS’ Facebook page, not Little Kuriboh’s. LK has previously stated that he doesn’t have a personal Facebook page. Beware of impersonators!
[YGO: TAS] MAGFEST 8, Jan 1st – 4th
December 3, 2009 at 8:03 pm | In Other Stuff, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series | Leave a CommentTags: littlekuriboh, magfest, youtube
Earlier today, Little Kuriboh released a promo for MAGFest 8 — The Music and Gaming Festival — which he and many other gaming-related personalities and musicians will be attending early next year. What’s really cool about this short video is that it co-stars a professional voice actor: Jon St. John, who’s been the voice for the Duke Nukem character for over a decade! LK says he jumped at the chance to work with St. John after the voice actor offered to lend his voice for any MAGFest promos. Awesome!
LK first announced his upcoming appearance at MAGFest in early November. MAGFest 8 will be held in Alexandria, Virginia from January 1 to 4, 2010.
Elsewhere on the Internets, a YGO: TAS character recently made yet another cameo appearance in a video by a team member from That Guy with the Glasses. This time it’s Yami, who utters a now-famous line in a reference-filled episode of Linkara’s Atop the Fourth Wall! Once again I ask: is this canon?! ;)
[YGO: TAS] YGOTAS Sails Away
November 30, 2009 at 4:24 am | In Other Stuff, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series | Leave a CommentTags: amv, littlekuriboh, mp3, youtube
In a tribute that is both touching and humorous, the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series sings “Come Sail Away,” the hit 1977 ballad by Styx. Originally, only Yami was supposed to sing, says Little Kuriboh, but the whole thing kind of spiraled out of control. Believe me, LK, I don’t think anyone’s complaining!
LK has also provided an MP3 download of the song.
In other news, LK has alerted us via Twitter that Odion and Melvin make a cameo appearance in the latest episode of Familiar Faces! Is this canon?! Familiar Faces is a web series by CR of YGO: TAS-partner That Guy with the Glasses.

[NTACFSSS] Episode 3 – FANSERVICE NO JUTSU~!
November 16, 2009 at 4:21 pm | In Other Stuff | 2 CommentsTags: littlekuriboh, naruto, youtube
“Bi-curious no Jutsu!”
This is surprisingly tame compared to what Naruto does next…
The third episode of Naruto: The Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show, titled “FANSERVICE NO JUTSU~!” was released earlier today! Little Kuriboh says that this episode is the closest thing he’ll ever get to doing a real yaoi video. All the more reason we must watch it! Kirbopher, WhipOfAlchemy, WhiteAsh002, GanXingba, Yami Yugi, and David Bowie guest star. Yes, David Bowie. Oh gawd, I don’t know what I enjoyed more: the Naruto x Sasuke action or the Starman spoof…
