The man is a creative genius as far as I am concerned.
For those who don't know who Little Kuriboh is allow me first ask, what rock have you been living under? and secondly I will tell you.
Little Kuriboh (LK) is a man called Martin Billany, he is the father of online abridging when it comes to popular cartoon series. His first abridging was of the cartoon series Yu-Gi-Oh! after he started watching the series and wanted to get involved with the fan base, after trying his hand at fan fiction he decided to buy the series on DVD and editing out 95% of the dueling in each episode and putting his own voices and sounds over the video with his own script. The first few episodes drew a large fan base to his series, as fans of the original TV series found a lot of humor in his jokes which poked fun at the shows, it's creators, the plot holes and the characters themselves, which encouraged him to make more.
After his success other abridging series started being made by other people, the few successful ones have their own fan base and LK sometimes cameos in them or has major roles in some, such as LK playing Freiza in Team Four Stars Dragon Ball Z Abridged series.

Nah. LK is the creator of Abridging. I'm curious if anyone will ever be able to abridge either Axis Power Hetalia or Gin Tama, but that just seems a little too far-fetched, and if it happens, probably won't be funny.
