My Funny Skankentine is the fifth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series.
Summary[]
Yugi and his friends search for another duelist. Joey vows to find his next opponent and remembers the time he took his sister Serenity to the beach. Soon, they see Mai having defeated a man dressed like a bee. Mai flirts with Yugi, much to Téa'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 different perfumes, thereby showing how she had an advantage over Joey. Yugi transforms into Yami 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 reminds him that Joey would still be nothing without him.
