Recap / Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series S 2 E 16 Magnum Farce

"I just realized what the 'd' stands for in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds... don't watch it!"

-Yami Yugi

Tropes

• Even the Guys Want Him: Duke complains that men try to propose to him all the time.
  Tristan: Duke, I already told you I was joking!"
• Filler Villain: Mai's stalker is completely irrelevant to the plot, but gets his own episode anyway. Yugi mercilessly lampshades this.
• In Love with Looks: Joey states that he's in love with Mai Valentine...'s breasts, even though he thinks their as real as a "three dollar bill."
• Insistent Terminology: Mai's breasts are not fake... riiiiiiight...(idon'tbelieveyou!)
• May–December Romance: Brought up briefly when Mai affirms that Joey's her love interest, with Joey bringing up that she's ten years older than him. Mai lampshades how creepy it is, but Joey points out that their pairing is the closest thing the show has to a normal relationship despite this.
• Only Sane Man: Yugi is the only one wondering what the whole subplot with Jean Claude has to do with the actual season storyline.
• Stalker with a Crush: John Claude Magnum has been one to Mai ever since she beat him in a children's card game. He even tries to force her into marriage via said card game.
• Take That!:
  • Yugi describes the Battle City Tournament as "longer than any given Metal Gear Solid cutscene, and only slightly less interactive". A jab at the fact that Metal Gear's cutscenes are notoriously long.
  • Magnum is one to Scientologists in general and Tom Cruise in particular.
• Tempting Fate:
  Tristan: I sure do hope we don't encounter any more intrusive subplots.
  Jean Claude: Did somebody say intrusive subplot?
  Tristan: Oh son of a bitch!
• What Would X Do?: "What would L Ron Hubbard do?"
