Few people can be credited with starting an entire genre. In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, launching the entire field of Science Fiction. In 1841, Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", singlehandedly creating the Detective-Story genre. ...and in 2006, Little Kuriboh (born Martin Piers Billany) one of a few, blessed people, joined their ranks. For fun, he made a Gag Dub of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but instead of doing the whole episode, he followed the abridging format of some online scripts. He called his video Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series, and thus The Abridged Series was born.
