My Funny Skankentine is the fifth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series.

Summary Edit

Yugi Muto and his friends are on Duelist Kingdom island looking for another duelist. Joey Wheeler is vowing that he can find his next opponent and remembers the time he took his sister Serenity Wheeler to the beach. Soon, they see Mai Valentine beating a man dressed like a bee. Mai flirts with Yugi, much to Téa Gardner's anger. Joey then challenges Mai to a duel. At the beginning, Mai starts beating Joey and claims she has ESP.

Eventually, Joey discovers that Mai has sprayed all of her cards with a different perfume, thereby showing how she had an advantage over Joey. Yugi transforms into Yami Yugi and tells Joey not to let Mai's breasts distract him and to also find a way to beat her. Joey then figures out that with the power of 4Kids censorship, he could be able to beat Mai. He uses his "Thousand Dragon" to beat Mai and win his first real duel, but Yami Yugi reminds him that Joey would still be nothing without him.
