Sailor Moon Abridged

Serena's fat jokes taken to their logical extreme.

So, there was this one time, and there was this one place, and it was like, really far away, like, on the moon. And then this stuff happened... LOUD NOISES!!!

This is one of the few abridged series to have 50 episodes (and regular updates), and the first to show that girls can make them just as well. It tends to rely less on random pop culture and Internet references, and more on mocking the show's general premise and its horrible North American dub, not to mention just about anything else it can think of.

Its creators, who handle all the writing and most of the voice acting, consists of Megami33, KrisRix, Roll002 and Judgement915. Season 2 additions include EvilChicken25 of Gargoyles Abridged, editor Lana Shittles, and none other than Little Kuriboh, who cameos as Moonlight Knight. Former members include MaxSkate2001 and Whip0fAlchemy, both of whom resigned for scheduling reasons. Whip0fAlchemy has since started an abridging of Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Megami33 is part of Team Four Star and also does voice work for other series. SMA has been dragged into the The War of the Abridged Series Creators, which they handled in a surprisingly mature way.

Here is the character sheet.

To get your hands on the episodes, see the official site, their Blip.TV account, and two YouTube accounts (original and backup).

Tropes used in Sailor Moon Abridged include:

• Alternate Character Interpretation: In-universe. To the characters in the actual show.
  • Serena is a Too Dumb to Live bulimic comedic sociopath instead of the Genius Ditz, The Pollyanna, and The Hero rolled into one.
  • Raye is a whole bunch of Goth, Emo, junkie, and satanist stereotypes rolled into one instead of a temple priestess who takes everything she does seriously
  • Lita is a girl who used to be a man rather than an Action Girl trying to be more feminine
  • Amy as a book smart Butt Monkey rather than the shy, quiet, book smart voice of reason.
  • Mina as a Valley Girl prostitute rather than a slightly ditzier, yet ultimately caring version of Serena.
  • Artemis is a drunk Australian playboy.
• And Knowing Is Half the Battle: The "Sailor Moon Says" segments are thoroughly mocked.
  • Occasionally, they Lampshade the fact that some of the original morals don't make sense.
• Artistic License Biology: Pointed out in episode 32, Plot Point 5 - Mina somehow picks up Serena's DNA just from brushing her hair (enough to fool a DNA scanner disguised as a hair steaming thing). Like Raye said, It's a REALLY F#*KING RETARDED plot hole!
  • Of course, the original point was that a loose strand of Sailor Moon's Hair could have wound up in Mina's hair brush, which then ended up in Mina's Hair. That one piece was picked up by the scanners... yeah, still kinda stupid.
• Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: And how!
• Better Than a Bare Bulb: Can cross into this at times with pointing out flaws in the anime.
• Big Lipped Alligator Moment: All mentioned In-Universe:
  • The dream footage of Serena apparently marrying Tuxedo Mask and Andrew in Episode 13/14. Lampshaded by Serena.
  • In episode 32, Queen Beryl's orb does... something...
  • Episode 38:
  • Both Lampshaded and subverted in Episode 26/27, where Luna is being chased by a crowd of horny pussies, only to be saved by a large cerulean male cat. "Well, that was just pointless and weird," she grumbles... but the large male cat turns out to be the Monster of the Week.
  • "Here's a completely useless scene, with Raye in pink overalls. Please laugh at your own discretion." (Beat) "WHAT?"
• Bi the Way: The villain of The Movie turns out to be Darien's New Old Flame. That is, a guy. Although the relationship doesn't seem to have been healthy.
• Bizarro Universe: In the Remix Episode, the Sailor Scouts are transported to another dimension where everyone's names are different (the Sailors' are taken from DiC's pitch reel), Sailor Mars tolerates her teammates better, Sailor Mercury can't speak English, and everyone in the Negaverse has different personalities as well.
• Black Comedy Rape: The whole plot of episode 42. Double subverted in the Sailor Says!

Megami33: Hi Everyone, You know here at SMA we like to joke at a bunch of things but rape isn't funny. At all. In fact all those that joke about it should go straight to-(Gets taken away by several people)

• Book Ends: The series begins with Serena waking up late for school screaming,

Serena: AAAH! I hear loud noises!

• • It also ends like this; Serena wakes up having lost her memories of being Sailor Moon. She also says the exact same line as in the first episode.
• Brain Bleach: Serena flips out when the "seed" metaphors in the movie get out of hand.
  • In another episode she requests some eye bleach. Lucky that Raye has some!
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: When the Sailor Scouts find Anne visiting the shrine where Raye works, Serena exclaims that she might do something evil, such as performing a voodoo ritual, taking drugs, or performing a voodoo ritual while taking drugs.
• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In episode 46/47 when Mina is talking down a kindergartener.

Mina: You are on my turf HONEY! We may share a classroom and like share books and share needles but I ain't sharing my clientele.

• Brick Joke: In their version of episode 33, it just focuses on Serena going to (and getting expelled from) the finishing school. Then, before the episode ends, Serena realizes that she forgot something. Cut to the room filled with girls who were frozen in wax by the Monster of the Day and never rescued.
  • An earlier example from episode 3, where one of Serena's friends — a short, nameless fat girl — is on a treadmill at the gym while her trainer keeps pushing her to go faster. After the "Sailor Moon Says" segment, she's still running and begs the trainer to let her go home. His response: "No. Keep going, Pillsbury!" "I'm still fat from the other episode!"
• Butt Monkey: In Real Life, Roll002 (Eric). If the bloopers are any indication, he can't get through a single line without messing it up at least a few times. Add to this the fact that he plays villains and, later, Darien (who are, by definition, Mr. Exposition) and we get a lot of bloopers and a very sarcastic SMA crew.
• Call Back: Episode 39 is referenced by Artemis in The Movie, when he mentions the moon kingdom had no militia.
• Calling Your Attacks: Mina and Lita have both noted that bit.

Mina: Venus Anal Beads Vaginate! Lita: Whoa! What the hell did you just say, yo?! I thought it was Venus Love Chain Encircle! Mina: Duh! I totally figured out that you can say anything you want, and it still works! Lita: How did you figure that out? Mina: 'Cause I can never remember what the hell to say. Lita: Hell yeah, let me try! Jupiter Hoe-Slap Nipple Shocker!

• The Cast Showoff: The main cast (Megami33, KrisRix, and Roll002) behind the Abridged Series are artists. However, It's KrisRix that stood out the most. For example:
  • The chibi drawings on said official site.
  • A picture of Mina in the movie. (Looks flawless, doesn't it?)
  • As well as her rendition of songs from Lady Gaga... on flute.
• Catchphrase Spouting Duo

Amy: You're evil! Raye: AND NOT THE GOOD KIND!

• Catholic School Girls Rule: "CATHOLIC GIRLS TASTE BETTER." Though given Raye, she may have meant it literally...
• Censor Box: Lita's friend Ken took a real long dive early in episode 43. Amy knows it can't be good since there's a giant censor bar on him.

Serena: (In response to Amy's and Lita's concern) You guys are overreacting. I'm sure he's (censor bar shifts a little to show a pool of blood) fiiIIINNEEE!! OH, GOD, PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK!

• Change the Uncomfortable Subject: Better than making a tired emo joke about Raye.
• Christmas Songs: Parodied in an album offered on their site. kirbopher15, Megami's (ex)boyfriend, animated a video of one, including drawing Serena as Pac-Man (see the page pic).
• Comically Missing the Point:

"Trainer": "Hi, I'm your token homosexual for today. Serena: "He's so cute but the purple is really gay." Molly: "Serena, he already said he's a homosexual." Serena: "So does that mean he's gay?"

• Contractual Genre Blindness: Episode 26/27 (even though s/he's definitely shocked when s/he fails):

Zoisite: The fact that I'm showing up within the first thirty seconds of this episode proves that I'm not going to succeed, even though all the odds are in my favor.

• Curse Cut Short: "But do not fail me, Jedite, or I will shove these nails straight up your--"

"Oh shit, I'm... gonna get nailed."

• Dangerously Genre Savvy: Nephlite, when he proposes they attack outside of Japan — America. He's quickly shot down by Queen Beryl though.
• The Danza: In episode 17, Megami33 and KrisRix voice a pair of animators named Corinne and Kris. This is possibly lampshaded at the end, when "All About Us" by T.A.T.U. plays.
  • In an interview, KrisRix stated that they chose the song because the two Russian girls from T.A.T.U pretended to be gay, and the animators of that episode were gay, so they thought it would be funny (but then again, that makes two good reasons to play that song).
• A Date with Rosie Palms: Melvin, Darien, Serena, and, of course, Amy

Amy: I get action! Raye: YOUR RIGHT HAND DOESN'T COUNT! Amy: Aww...

• Dead Baby Comedy:

Artemis: Run Luna! Run off that pregnancy! Luna: What?! I thought you said that was your tail! Artemis: Run it off, bitch!

• • We all know it ends with Diana.
  • From episode 41: "Didn't there use to be an orphanage there?"
  • Used horrifically in episode 46/47.
• Defiled Forever:

Molly: He touched me! I'm not a virgin anymore!

• • Also:

"He touched that boy's breast! There's no greater offense!"

• Department of Redundancy Department: "Did you just self-censor yourself?"
• Devil in Plain Sight: Most of Jedite's schemes for sucking energy were not what you'd call subtle.
  • "Hey, nerd, you've really put in a lot of ENERGY into this class and I'm really impressed by your ENERGY input. So I wanted you to lead the class today and teach them how to give more ENERGY for completely innocent reasons. ENERGY!"
    • "That was really weird. She sure says 'energy' a lot."
• Disney Death: The resurrections in Episode 40 and Promise of the Lost Rose occur more abruptly than they did in the show.
• Don't Explain the Joke:

Raye: YOU'RE TURNING ME DOWN?! WELL, I HOPE YOU GO TO HEAVEN! Chad: What? Amy: I think that since Raye holds Hell in such a high regard, spending the afterlife in Heaven is a terrible fate for her, hence the insult. Serena: And that is the joke...

• • Happened again in the trailer for the remix episode:

[Sailor Moon]'s sailing to the USA! Get it? It's a pun! Because she's a sailor who's sailing. From the moon!

• Double Entendre: Too many to count.

Alan: "Please say I can play my flute for you." Serena: "You can do whatever you want with that flute!"

• Dress Hits Floor: used by Zoicite to ditch her fake Sailor-Senshi costume and reveal her standard Negaverse uniform. ...Which involves grey slacks, even though when she was wearing the Sailor Fuku there was a Panty Shot.
• Dude, She's Like, in a Coma: Beryl, with unconscious Darien in her evil grasp. "Ohh...I have an unconscious teenage boy."
  • Also, Tuxedo Mask with the unconscious Serena.

Tuxedo Mask: "Unconscious girls can't say no!"

• • Again in episode 30, when Zoicite teleports Darien and Serena, who is unconscious, into the Negaverse's lair.

Zoicite: Welcome Tuxedo Ma- whoa, there! Am I interrupting? Do you wan't me to close up that pod again, give you a minute to finish up there? Darien: No, no- she's just passed out. Zoicite: (scoffs) That doesn't change anything.

• Early-Bird Cameo: Sailors Uranus and Neptune show up backstage while the evil clown ruins the Snow White play and attacks everyone, but decide to wait a few episodes before they start randomly appearing to save the Sailor Scouts.
• Early Installment Weirdness: The first few episodes contain a Laugh Track, and footage from the first 30 episodes seem to retain Di C's added censorship and effects (such as the Idiosyncratic Wipes).
• Even the Girls Want Her: Serena blatantly displays Les Yay when she first meets Raye and Mina.

Meeting Raye: Wow! I wanna be a lesbian for her! Meeting Mina: HAWT!

• • Rei for her fangirls/hench girls. And Serena when they first met until she realized what Rei's personality was actually like
• "Everybody Laughs" Ending: The remix episode
• Evil Is Sexy: Pick any evil character. They all get a moment in-universe. Especially Raye.

Malachite: Let the porno commence! Zoisite as Sailor Moon: Oh, Malachite, you're so dirty!! Malachite: Cue lightning! *Lightning* Damn, I'm so cool.

• Eyes Always Shut: "GRANDPA! WEAR YOUR GLASSES, DAMMIT! YOU LOOK LIKE BROCK!"
• Fake Static: Attempted. With videophones.

Serena: What's that? I can't hear you! kkkkkkkkkkch You're breaking up! Amy: Serena, I can see you! Serena: ...No you can't.

• Filler: Parodied to the most logical extreme.
  • An example being episode 32, in which they just point out all the important (and not-so-important) plot points.
    • "Plot Point 4: Beryl's Orb did...something" ("Sorry, it does that sometimes. Ignore it! What were you saying?")
  • Episode 33 cuts out the fighting, leaving just the finishing school plot.
  • Amy was left for dead in Episode 34. But then again, considering it's filler, it won't even matter.
• Five-Man Band:
  • The Heroine - Serena, supposedly;
  • The Lancer - Raye;
  • The Smart Girl - Amy, again, supposedly;
  • The Big Guy Girl - Lita, also supposedly;
  • The Chick - Mina and Amy (the latter referred to as "the useless girl");
  • Tagalong Kid - Rini;
  • Sixth Ranger - Darien (like he had a choice);
  • Team Pets - Luna and Artemis.
  • Spoofed when Mina joined:

Lita: We're totally a full-fledged team now, yo! Amy: Why are we now a team? Were we waiting for a fifth person for some time? Raye: SHUT UP AMY! Amy: No, really, why is this a team? We have four planets, and a moon. What about the other planets- Raye: SHUT UP, AMY!

• Flanderization: Par for the course, being an Abridged Series.
• Freud Was Right: Invoked many times. See Les Yay, Dude, She's Like, in a Coma, etc.
• Funny Foreigner: Andrew (see Canada, Eh?) and Rita, who is a Swede with limited English skills here.
• Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Raye slapped Serena five consecutive times in Episode 31, but Serena got used to it. Amy also slapped Serena in the season finale, only to get kicked out of the team, eventually leading up to her death after her CMoA.
• Gilligan Cut: Episode 2.

Serena: Everybody's gonna love my letter! Serena: Those pricks didn't read my letter!

• Glorious Mother Russia: Where Alan and Anne pretend to be from.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck: Aside from one instance of 'heck' from Luna in Episode 41, and the "Bridge to Heck" sign in the war video, it never happened in the series.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: Running Gag throughout Season 2. In Episode 42, the Scouts transform in the original Japanese phrases. Lampshaded kind of by Mina.

Mina: I spoke in Asian!!

• • In Episode 43 Sailor Moon transformed with the Castilian Spanish phrase, 44 used Cantonese, 45 Swedish and 46/47 Gratuitous German. Usually rather poorly pronounced, but As Long as It Sounds Foreign...
• A Hell of a Time: After Raye is killed during the season finale, her "motivational speech" for Serena is to not die and ruin her eternal paradise.
  • Although if SHE enjoys it so much, it must REALLY be bad...
• Hey, It's That Voice!: If any of you people watched a certain episode of a certain Abridged Series, you might notice the doctor in the movie sounding a little familiar, if you will.
  • Kirbopher15 and NathanGraves989 both provided their voices for a few extras... and Lita's 'friend' she keeps talking about... respectively.
• Hijacked by Jesus: Sort of. Sailor Moon saves a priest, and Jesus appears as an unseen character.
  • Having Raye being a Satanic Pyromaniac instead of a Shinto temple Miko would probably qualify. No complaints here though :)
  • From the episode 7 bloopers:

Amy: "Please, Jesus, bring my friends home." Jesus: "No."

• Hilarious Outtakes: There are consistent blooper reels for the first 22 episodes.
• If You Die, I Call Your Stuff: In the episode where Jedite dies.

Random Negaverse Creep: Can I have your Porno Collection?

• • In episode 46/47, Mina's kindergartner protege/rival calls dibs on Mina's turf if she snuffs it. Mina doesn't take it well.
• In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You: Episode 41, Alan.
• In the Name of the Moon, I like wiener schnitzel!
• Indian Store Owner: The Moonlight Knight talks like one, badi badi badi.
• Ironic Echo Cut:

Darien: Don't underestimate her and her friends, simpleton. She'll never go to the ski resort. Serena: I love the ski resort!

• • Or...

Andrew: You'll never leave me, right? Rita: Ja! (cut to the airport) Andrew: I guess I'll see you around, eh? Rita: Ja! Bye-bye!

• Lady Gaga: Alan is a fan of hers - he plays various songs of hers on the flute. Mixed with Medium Awareness when Mina hears him playing "LoveGame" inside the VR theatre in Episode 44.

Alan: I definitely know your culture! For instance, I am down with the Gaga lady!

• Large Ham: "Are you questioning the talking cat?"
  • Nephlite as well when he goes off on his "Star" based rants.

Nephlite: Everything is ruled by the stars. The movement of the stars rules everything. The ruling of everything is by the stars. The stars? They rule.

• • KrisRix. It'd take too long to list all of the hammy characters she voices, so...just KrisRix.
• Larynx Dissonance: Andrew (KrisRix) and Malachite (Whip0fAlchemy).
• Leitmotif: For the girls' transformation sequences:
  • Sailor Moon - "Barbie Girl" by Aqua;
    • SMA Remix: "Hungry Hippo" by Parry Gripp;

"Oh, *honk* you, SMA!"

• • • Movie (and Season 2 Episode 45 - Present): "Candy Store" by Hyper Crush;
  • Sailor Mercury - "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice;
    • SMA Remix: "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65;
    • Movie (and Season 2): "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3;
  • Sailor Mars - "We Be Burnin" by Sean Paul;
    • SMA Remix: "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps;
    • Movie (and Season 2): "Fire Burning" by Sean Kingston;
  • Sailor Jupiter - "The Church of Hot Addiction" by Cobra Starship;
    • SMA Remix: "Electric Boogie" by Marcia Griffiths;
    • Movie (and Season 2): "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers (Josh Harris Club Remix);
  • Sailor Venus - "Wanna Do Your Makeup" by Scotty Vanity;
    • SMA Remix: "Venus" by Bananarama;
    • Movie (and Season 2): "LoveGame" by Lady Gaga;
  • Tuxedo Mask - "Lost" by Anouk;
  • Disguise Pen - "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake;
  • Sailor Moon (Zoicite) - "Ugly Girl" by Jack Off Jill.
• Limited Animation: Serena personally points out this trope in action during Episode 23.

Serena: Wow! That blur filter almost makes it look like he's moving! I love low-budget anime!

• The Load: Sailor Mercury is so utterly useless in a fight, Serena offered a Monster of the Week Mercury's position. Plus, the one time she DOES defeat a monster, Serena is convinced that the Moonlight Knight took care of it. The worst part: He took the credit. Ouch.
  • Mina manages to be even more useless, being so ditzy as to actually FORGET how to transform at one point, only remembering when all the fighting is over. Also, at the finishing school ball, she nearly forgot her own name.

Serena: What? Raye? Amy? Lita? Mina? Mina: My name's no- oh, wait...

• • And most tedious of all is rescuing Molly for the umpteenth time.

Serena: Christ, again? I mean, every *honk*ing episode...

• Lyrical Dissonance Raye's song "Oh Bloody Night" sounds like a sweet love song, but is about how she tortures a guy for Satan.
  • Actually, judging by the first two lines of the song(and the first subliminal photo in the part of the song in the actual episode) it may be about her torturing her boyfriend(?), Chad, which makes it both this and a "normal" love song.
• Man of a Thousand Voices: If no one else, then definitely KrisRix.
  • Roll as well, though it's somewhat more obvious it's him.
• Medium Awareness: Per standard procedure on so many Abridged series.
• Milestone Celebration: Episode 50 includes several gags written by the viewers.
• Mood Whiplash: Certain scenes (like Nephlite's death and the flashback to the destruction of the Moon Kingdom) are honestly played a bit too straight to be funny. It's seriously jarring, especially as the dubbing is still deliberately comically bad.
• Motor Mouth: Nancy Vargas, the Intrepid Reporter from Episode 38:

Serena: I, uh, have a letter from Sailor Moon! Nancy: OhmyGodwhatascoop! Itsaysshewantstomeetmeattheparkatmidnightandtellmeallabouthowshewantsto quittheSailorScoutteambutIdon'tknowwhyI'mreadingthistoyoubutheyhow'dyougetthis letteranywaysyoucouldn'tpossiblybeSailorMoonyoulooknothinglikeher! Serena: I have nooo idea what you just said! Bye!

• The Movie: The first was released on February 18, 2010, but before Season 2 actually began. According to Episode 45, they're in a different canon from the rest of the series, so Serena should've forgotten about it afterwards...
• Musical Episode: Doubles as a Pokemon Crossover, sort of... Also, quite hilarious.
  • Somewhat lampshaded in the same episode when Greg, on the phone with Amy, reacts to her sudden burst of song like a normal person might - first confusedly, then just giving up and hanging up the phone.
• My Friends And Amy
• My Name Is Not Durwood: Nephlite always gets Molly's name wrong. Until his last two episodes, at least.
  • A lesser example in Episode 4, with Saffron. Few can remember exactly which spice she shares a name with.
• Negated Moment of Awesome: The first time Raye uses her Shinto scrolls onscreen, she fails to eliminate the evil force she sensed, because Serena got in the way of her scroll.
  • Poor Amy. If those sailor scouts only saw you destroy that monster in Episode 46/47, you could've gotten some, if any, respect.
• Never Live It Down: In-Universe. Melvin torments Molly with Nephlite's death repeatedly.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: The "time-rewinding powers" Darien used to pull Serena to safety when she nearly fell off a balcony. He received such powers as a reference to the fact that in DiC's version, the footage of Serena falling plays backwards to make it look like Darien pulled her back up. (Originally, they both fell and used Usagi's parasol as a parachute.)
  • Sailor Moon once turned her tiara into a "lesbian trapper", binding the Monster of the Week. When Luna asked Sailor Moon how she did that, she answered, "Hell if I know! This show makes no sense!"
• Nobledude's Laugh: Zoisite and Malachite laughing must be heard to be believed.
• Non-Serial Movie: Played for all its dodgy canon by being put right after the first season rather than somewhere in the second.
• Not Making This Up Disclaimer: The "actual dub dialogue" has become a staple of the series, to the point that there are now several of these lines per episode.
  • There has also been "actual noise from the English dub (Sort of)" and "she actually talks like this in the dub".
  • And a couple times, even SMA crew couldn't figure out the dialogue themselves— the "tyrannosphere" line in Episode 17 and the "stoigemeister" line in Episode 26/27 had the disclaimers typed with a question mark.
  • Episode 45: "Actual lack of DiC dialogue." The villain in question is limited to the Noblewoman's Laugh and the occasional "Racy!"
  • Episode 18 had the famous scene where Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon fall over a balcony and use an umbrella to float down safely. Probably to keep kids from trying this out, DiC cut the part after they both fell and reversed the part where Tuxedo Mask lost his grip on Serena's wrist.

Tuxedo Mask: Oh, goddammit, she's so heavy! I have to use my time-rewinding powers!

• Oblivious Younger Sibling: Literally with Sammy. It's become a running gag that Serena has no idea who he is.
• Off-Model: Lampshaded by Kris in Episode 17:

Kris: But I worked so hard on it! I worked so hard that my right eye drooped down three inches!

• The Other Darien: Roll002 took over Tuxedo Mask from MaxSkate2001; after Episode 43, EvilChicken25 took over from Roll. Megami33 currently voices Sammy (originally done by Roll002).
• Over Nine Thousand: The only time you'll ever hear Amy scream like Raye.
  • When one of the two Monsters Of The Week in Episode 46/47 tried to use that line, Mina cuts it off, stating it isn't 4chan.
• Overly Long Gag: From episode one: Sailor Moon is heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere-eeeeerrrrrrrrreeee-eeeeeeerrrrrrrrreee..... yeah.
  • And one example from the movie.

Lita: Jupiter Home Biscuit Dizzle Slices Crash! Mina: Haha, woah Lita like, no, never again, joke over!

• • Episode 28:

Serena: Wow, Luna, way to stereotype, you bitch! I guess all fat people like cake and donuts too, right? Luna: You said it, not me. Serena: ...And pizzas, and pretzels, and chips... Luna: Okay, Serena, I get it. Serena: ...And cotton candy, and corn dogs, and hot dogs, and dogs in general... Luna: This is Japan, not Korea!

• Pals with Jesus: As an unseen character, who tends to speak up with an annoyed "What?" if someone takes His name in vain. Amy seems to be his favorite, though.
• Panty Shot: Mercilessly parodied with a random nerd taking screenshots of them.
• Perfectly Cromulent Word: continuing the "Actual dialogue in the English dub?" gag:

Serena: "Oh, come on, Luna, don't be such a stoichmeister!" Luna: "A what??" Serena: "I like making up words! Fudgecracklesnott!" Luna: (Eye Take)

• Person as Verb: KrisRix suggested in the bloopers to refer to the team's mishaps as Erics, for obvious reasons.
• Post Script Season: The Doom Tree arc. To elaborate, Kris mentioned in an interview (same one as The Danza example above mentioned) that, at the time, she only saw herself and the rest of her team getting through season one.
• Power of Friendship: Spoofed, mocked, ridiculed, lambasted, derided, and, shockingly played straight for the season finale. Almost.

Serena: Now that I'm here without you, I realize how much you all really meant to me. Even Amy. I can't... I can't do this without you! Guys... my friends... Ah, forget it, this is *honk*ing boring. HAAAAAAAA!!!

• • Likewise for The Movie, where the characters pretty much acknowledge that it's completely irrelevant.
• Psycho Ex Boyfriend: Fiore. But not from any of the girls... That's right. Not even Mina.
• Public Service Announcement : Amy tries to deliver one of these until Raye and Serena show up and give it their usual treatment.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: The aforementioned PSA is about mononucleosis, brought up because roll002 had come down with the illness.
  • Another one comes in Episode 36/37 where Prince Darien states that he loves Twilight. In real life, roll002 is a fan of it.
• Record Needle Scratch: Whenever someone says something self-incriminating.

Alan: (Actual English Dub Dialog) Serena, my love for you circles the orbit of your planet--- Serena:: *Record Needle Scratch* WHAT?!

• Refuge in Audacity: Raye would just be annoying if all she did was be an emo screamer. It's her being so over the top about it that it works.

Amy: Raye, why were we missing for most of this episode? Raye: BECAUSE WE WAS SMOKING CRACK COCAINE, BITCH! Amy: Oh, right.

• Running Gag: Several Many of them including, but not limited to:
  • Fat jokes. No episode would be complete without one of Serena's friends, enemies or family members delivering a couple of these. Some of them get quite creative too.
  • Other characters inability to hear anything Amy says.
  • Raye's desire to sacrifice people to Satan.
  • Lita's none too convincing attempts to pass as a girl.
  • Serena not being aware she has a brother.
  • Zoisite's inability to determine her his whatever-has-a-void-down-there gender.
  • Nephlite never getting Conchetta's name right.
    • It's Molly.
  • Nephlite and stars.
  • Melvin (and later Serena) constantly reminding Molly about her dead boyfriend.
  • Queen Beryl's addiction to the Internet.
  • Queen Beryl's unhealthy fixation on Darien.
  • Artemis's drunken ramblings, and (eventually successful) attempts to seduce Luna.
  • The Moon Princess is still waiting for that pizza.
  • Mina's promiscuity.
• Sarcastic Clapping: Raye, at Amy, in the movie.
• Satan: Raye's almighty lord.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Words like "Rose", "Whoosh", "Kaboom" and "Loud noises", which you just have to hear to believe.
  • Also: "Shit be blowin' up!"
  • A quiet example- "Ring, ring, ring, ring. Phone call. Phone call."
  • Not to mention Mina usually saying "Giggle!" instead of giggling.
• Scare Chord: A handful of stock variations are used, and you'll often hear at least two different ones in the same episode.
• Schedule Slip: A rather serious computer crash delayed The Movie one and a half months past its scheduled airdate of New Year's Day 2010.
• Screwed By The Website: Megami33's account got suspended on October 26, 2010 due to copyright claims.
• Selective Enforcement: Raye slaps Serena a bunch of times, no one says anything and Serena ends up enjoying it. Amy slaps Serena once and gets thrown off the team.
• She's A Man In Japan: Zoisite gets really Mind Screwed by this. It has been established that his/her gender is in fact "void".

Zoisite: What? You want me to wear a skirt? Queen Beryl: What's wrong with that? Zoisite: But... but... Queen Beryl: You are a woman, aren't you? Zoisite: (breaking down) I... I don't know anymore!

• • His/her upskirt-causing hijinks as a faux-Sailor Scout are accompanied by horrified cries of "Oh my God what is that thing?!" When the camera is low enough to get a Panty Shot, all we can see is what looks like a portal to a realm of madness.
• Shout-Out: Episode 50, courtesy of a fan, has Melvin commenting that he got the animal costumes on short notice from his friend named Joey
  • Episode 36/37 is pretty much one giant reference to the Pokémon dub.
• Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness: Very silly. It's an Abridged Series after all. However, parts of the flashback sequence in episode 39 are definitely serious.
• Something Else Also Rises: Rare female version on episode 20 — after Molly sees Nephlite fight back against the demons who kidnapped her, the demon says, "I think I just wet my panties — and not with pee-pee." (It's an easy mistake to make, but one of the bloopers has Kris Rix saying it in the Molly voice and Megami correcting her.)
• Sound Effect Bleep: The *honk*ing effect is so popular, the creators have apologized for forgetting to use it from time to time.
  • Episode 2 contained some additional sound effects as the students watch an ambulance take away Miss Haruna:

Serena: Seriously guys, that mother*slide whistle*, monkey*foghorn*, doughnut-sucking *bicycle horn* failed me. Who cares if she dies? Molly: Aw, Serena, you're a total bitch! (Laugh Track)

• Spexico: The caption before episode 43 starts is "Today's episode is brought to you by España" (Spanish for Spain), but the backround picture shown is the Mexican flag. At first it might look like a blatant error, but the title song was the Latin American version and the transformation key phrase was the Castilian Spanish one, so it was actually just played with, maybe too much.
  • This combined with the Northern Mexico comments can also be taken as every other country can be mocked.
• Spoof Aesop: The "Sailor Says" segments are used to teach these, encouraging (among other things) bulimia, steroid use and Satanism.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Fiore does not consider Darien his lover, he did not sleep with him when he was ten, and he most certainly is not gay.
  • Or you can interpret it another way.
    • Whaddua mean interpret?
  • And there's also this part of Episode 43:

Alan: Serena, my feelings reach beyond the orbit of your planet. Serena: Your what? Alan: I mean, your country! Yes, It was silly of me to say planet because that makes me seem like some kind of alien which of course I'm not because we're from the same planet. That being Earth. Which I'm from. Like you.

• Talking To Herself: Megami33 plays both Serena and Luna, so the first few episodes are basically all her. KrisRix voices Mercury, Mars, Venus, Molly, Queen Beryl and Zoicite, leading to inevitable problems in switching voices between lines.
• Take That: To fans who might harp on them over inaccuracies. And to anyone who ever posted a comment, got offended by the show, or entered in contests. It takes a special mindset to be an SMA fan.
  • And to Windows Vista.
  • "I'll have you know that I'm the star of Megami33's Sailor Moon Abridged. You know, the only good one on YouTube!"
• Tap on the Head: Parodied in Episode 26/27, when after the Monster of the Week attacks Chad, he just won't stay unconscious to let Raye transform into Sailor Mars.

Raye: OK JUST STAY UNCONSCIOUS PLEASE!

• That's What She Said: Episode 13/14. Wow, Serena really nailed him!
• The Stinger: Similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series examples, except these stingers mostly play music clips over the footage, rather than a clip from a movie.
• This Is For Emphasis, Bitch!: "I'm Sailor Venus, Bitches!"
  • "I'm Sailor Mars, Bitch!"
  • In Episode 46/47, Lita adds a "Bitch!" to the end of her German transformation phrase.
• Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: MUST PRAY TO SATAN!
• Throw It In: According to the bloopers, Zoicite's line, "Oh my God: it's a fight scene!" in episode 21, was done on the spot by Kris Rix.
  • Token Good Teammate: Queen Beryl in the alternate universe episode. Although the villains fail at villainy as much as the sailor scouts fail at heroism.
• Transformation Sequence: Parodied, lampshaded and accompanied by Suspiciously Apropos Music for each of the Sailor Scouts.
• True Love's Kiss: The final scene of Promise of the Lost Rose.

Darien: I should at least kiss her goodbye. Raye: NO! Darien: I think I should. Raye: DON'T! (Darien kisses Serena, causing the crystal to rebuild itself. Raye screams.) Serena: Wow, I'm feeling so much better! (pause) Raye: I'M GONNA STRANGLE HER!

• The Unintelligible: Tidus in episode 9, Amy if you don't have the volume cranked up, Artemis when he's being particularly drunk, and Rini, the little girl who suddenly appeared in the movie.
• Uncanceled: In 2010, Megami33's channel was suspended, removing the entire series in the process. They are currently being re-posted on http://sailormoonabridged.blip.tv.
• Unsound Effect: Rose! (See also Saying Sound Effects Out Loud up above.)
  • Episode 26/27: "Shut your damn piehole, Serena!" Shove!
• Uranus Is Showing: Episode 6.

Queen Beryl: And now we have Mercury to contend with. You know, there are nine planets so the longer we wait, the bigger that team gets. I mean, who's next, Uranus? Jedite: Hah, Uranus. Queen Beryl: Silence!

• Vitriolic Best Buds: Raye and the rest of the cast, mainly Serena.

Serena: You've been such a good friend... Raye: I'M COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TIL YOU'RE DEAD.

• • Or

Raye: SERENA, YOU FAIL AT BEING A SUPERHERO. YOU FAIL AT HAVING AN IQ HIGHER THAN AN INFANT! AND YOU FAIL AT WEARING A MINISKIRT, FATASS!

• • Or this little number from Episode 31:

Raye: DON'T WORRY, SAILOR MOON. WE'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. Serena: Thanks! Raye: WITH A KNIFE. Serena: Oh... Raye: TO STAB YOU. Serena: I get it... Raye: AND TWIST IT! Serena: Okay... Raye: I HATE YOU!!! Serena: Thanks, Raye!

• Voices in One Room: The shows get recorded in one room, leading to lots of outtakes.
• Vocal Evolution: While many of the character's voices change do to voice actors leaving and being replaced, Amy/Sailor Mercury plays this straight. When she started out, her voice was shy quiet and kind of cute. As the series progressed, she started having more of a squawk and spoke much more dramatically.
• We Do Not Own: Originally averted, then played straight.
• Who Is This Guy Again?: Serena's brother and daughter.
  • Seriously, who the hell are they?
• Who Writes This Crap?: All the actual dub dialog.

Raye: THAT SERENA ISN'T A SAILOR SCOUT, SHE'S A FAILURE SCOUT! ...OKAY, WHO THE *honk* WRITES THESE LINES? Amy: Don't blame it on the SMA crew! Raye: I BET THEY'RE LAUGHING AT MY MISERY! Lita: I know I am, yo!

• • If you listen to the bloopers, you'll occasionally hear the SMA crew have a terror-flavored one after KrisRix lets loose with Raye lines.
• You Do NOT Want to Know: Where Luna keeps all the sailor items.

Amy: How did you fit that up there? Do you want to get dysentery? Luna: Trust me, where I'm from, every cat can fit much bigger things than [Amy's computer].

• You Never Did That for Me:

Alan: That girl has such passion. I want to lick her Booty Sweat! Anne: You never like MY Booty Sweat anymore!

• • Another example came in the first season finale:

Sailor Moon: All you have to do is touch it. (Darien puts his hand on Sailor Moon's music box, which magically prompts him to perform a Heel Face Turn.) Queen Beryl: You traitor! You never touched mine!
