** MemeticBadass
** MemeticMolester

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks - Usually joking about every time something in a show is unoriginal. Plus many Abridgers eventually throw in a joke attacking ''WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' {{fan boy}}s for claiming that all Abridged series steal their jokes from ''WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. LittleKuriboh jokingly supports this claim.

* HoYay - GenreSavvy characters (particularly ones with [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys gender-biased]] [[ImprobablyFemaleCast casts]]) may be aware of their [[YaoiFangirl periphery]] [[YuriFan fans]].

** [[{{ptitlemqwa8sph9eh4}} Oh God, With The Verbing!]]
