History Recap / AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheDrill

* BrainBleach: After Zuko sees Uncle Iroh bribe a large woman to get the ferry tickets: "I'm gonna forget I saw that." Complete with FacePalm.

* GilliganCut: Aang and Azula are fighting on top of the drill, when boulders start raining down on them.

-->'''Zuko:''' '(whispering through clenched teeth)'' What are you doing ''Firbending your '''tea?!''''' For a wise, old man, that was a pretty stupid move!

** He then goes on to think of Team Avatar and the Aang Gang(close enough to the [[FanNickname Gaang]]. ItWillNeverCatchOn.

* BrokenBase: Fans generally don't see eye to eye with this episode - though this is less because it's bad as it's considered dull.

* FridgeHorror: Ty Lee gets a big moment disabling several soldiers attacking the drill. Kind of makes you wonder what was happening on the other side, where the soldiers had to deal with {{Knife Nut}} Mai...

-->'''Toph:''' [[UnfortunateImplications HERE IT COMES!!]]

** UnfortunateImplications: Not to mention the fact the drill is penetrating Ba Sing Se, filled with a slurry of rocks inside that explodes out of the drill, and splatters all over the place when it gets taken out of commission. Sure, as a kid, this doesn't dawn on you, but as an adult... it's the ultimate case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

* WhatAnIdiot:
--> '''Zuko:''' ''(to Iroh)'' "''What are you doing, firebending your tea!? For a wise old man, that was a pretty'' '''''[[IdiotBall stupid]]''''' ''move!''"
** Unfortunately, the damage has already been done; Jet notices Iroh's tea is suddenly steaming out of the blue and puts two and two together, realizing Iroh and Zuko are Firebenders in disguise, which sends him into a marked rage.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: YourMileageMayVary if this was intentional innuendo on the writers' part or not, but a long, narrow drill, penetrating through a hole that explodes with a goopey mess when it blows up on the inside? Said mess is coated all over everyone by the end, Sokka's trying to brush it off his tongue, the war minister looks at it with disgust as it smears down the watchtower window, it flies up so high it hits Sung from atop the wall, and of course, as it spews out the back of the drill in overflow, Toph says this line:

** Now what does all ''that'' remind you of??

-->'''Aang:''' I kinda like that one.

* WhatAnIdiot: "''What are you doing, firebending your tea!?''"

* DramaticDeadpan: "[[EmotionlessGirl We lost.]]"

* WhatAnIdiot: "''What are you doing, firebending your tea''!?"

* WhatAnIdiot: "''What are you doing, firebending your tea''!?"
* AWorldWidePunomenon: While throwing around names for the team, Sokka comes up with this:
-->'''Sokka:''' How about...the Boomerang Squad! [[DontExplainTheJoke See, it works because it's got the word "Aang" in it! Boomer-AANG]]."
-->'''Aang:''' I kinda like that one.

** Or, maybe it is just a giant drill.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Sokka to General Sung, spoken word for word. Including the resounding slap.

* ThemeMusicPowerUp: A rare example for ''[[AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'': When Aang starts running down Ba Sing Se's outer wall to deliver the final blow, the main theme kicks in to accompany him.
