!!This series provides examples of:
* AllGirlsLikePonies: "Our wedding's gonna have ponies... and flowers... and ponies..."
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Viciously parodied with Jet and Katara.
* AlterKocker: Iroh
* ArmorIsUseless: "This papier-mâché armor is useless!"
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: See ForeignQueasine below.
* AttentionWhore: Aang.
* AuthorAvatar: Sokka may be turning into this.
** Much of the series is AuthorAvatar for [=GanXingba=] to point out plot holes and other logical inconsistencies. The comet conversation between Aang and Avatar Roku, for example.
*** So, [[IncrediblyLamePun the Avatars are the Author Avatars]]?
* AxCrazy: King Bumi.
--> '''Katara:''' "Well, at least we know we weren't in any real danger."
--> '''Bumi:''' "Oh no, I was ''definitely'' going to kill you."
** Also Jet, with a healthy dose of paranoia.
* BadassMustache: In the "Day of Black Stache" special, Haru's mustache [[spoiler: which is so powerful that it can single-handedly defeat Fire Lord Ozai]].
* BecauseISaidSo: Roku's explanation about the comet giving firebenders more power.
* BerserkButton: Do not be the guy who didn't call Mike Tyson 'Iron Man' (ep. 6). Also see TrashTalk below.
** "THEY'RE NOT MUTTON CHOOOOOOOPS!!!!"
* BrainBleach: "Now I'm scarred physically ''and'' mentally!"
** [[spoiler:The closest Aang can manage is to burn Appa's harness, bathe him a dozen times and find a therapist (re. ep 11).]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-cnbr62Clc Episode 6]] was devoted to this very concept.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Katara calling out Master Paku about his ideals of female fighters
* CallingYourAttacks

* CampGay: Haru. Just... Haru.
* CanadaEh: Lieutenant Jee.
-->Zuko: "[[HypocriticalHumor Jee, your accent is ruining our image!]]"
* CastingGag: The warden in "Imprisoned" is gay. Who voiced him in the actual show? George Takei.
* CharacterExaggeration: Naturally.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Hinted at with Zhao's naval crew, as opposed to Zuko's (see CanadaEh below)
--> "They're all lined up in a straight line with their guns pointed the same way... they're probably French."
* ChickMagnet: Iroh, to the tune of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXkMKgTr-Q#t=5m 5000 points on "The Game of Love"]]. Also qualifies as a KavorkaMan.
* CombatCommentator: added to the big [[spoiler:Katara vs Pakku fight]] in ep. 11.
* CombatPragmatist: [[PlayingWithFire Iroh's]] [[GroinAttack fireball]].
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: ''"Zuzu's Date"''. [[spoiler: At first]].
--> '''Zuko''': I don't think rabbits can operate screwdrivers without opposable thumbs.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Jet, with his "crazed theories" about the Freemasons and Illuminati. In fact Viacom deleted this episode because Jet knew too much of the truth.
* CrazySurvivalist: Jet, leading the battle against the Martians... Er, Fire Nation, basically {{Expy}}ing a mix of [[MetalGearSolid Solid Snake]] and The Question from JusticeLeagueUnlimited.
* CutAndPasteTranslation: Will rearrange the order of episodes, paste two [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcIlpeaR48I (or more)]] episodes as one, and radically alter some plots instead of just abridging them. But this is likely more for RuleOfFunny than anything else. [[spoiler:And a bit of FridgeBrilliance when you realise ''why'' the Blue Spirit's first scene comes before Zuko's first scene in ep. 8.]]
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Episode 9 again.
-->"Now that we can conveniently move, I have a convenient plan that conveniently involves these convenient vats of perfume they conveniently make at this temple!"
-->"How convenient!"
* [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm Does Not Understand Innuendo]]: On the Zuzu's Date episode, his date tries every innuendo short of saying that she wants to have sex with him, failing to get across her meaning to Zuko. In the end, she flat out says that she wants to have sex with him, and instantly, Zuko is transformed from whiny bitch to lady's man extraordinaire.
* DontExplainTheJoke: King Bumi has this as almost his entire personality:
-->'''Bumi:''' So in other words, they went postal! Get it? Postal, mail delivery system...
** Yes? No? Maybe? Lobster?
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Chong]] in episode 5.
* ElSpanishO: Sokka attempting to communicate with Momo.
* EmoTeen: '''Zuko'''.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Yeah, Aang's gonna go play with penguins now. Yeah, penguins, yeah!
* {{Eyedscreen}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhVPxYCXeRA Episode 8.]] At least twice.
* FollowTheLeader: Sister production ''ATAS TV'' is modelled after AMVHell.
* ForeignQueasine: Episode 9. [[spoiler: Batou serves up [[{{Squick}} whale testicles and even more in Episode 11: "In honor of the Avatar's arrival (and my daughter Yue's sweet sixteen) please enjoy this feast of seal testicles, penguin testicles, polar bear testicles,]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and gazpacho."]].]]
* ForScience: Complete with Trumpet Music, and that makes everything okay.

* WhatTheHellHero: Aang gets the recieving end of this for laughs in episodes 9 with the map (''Then they wouldn't be paying attention to ME!!'') and in episode 10 with Aang trash-talking Teo (you remember, the kid in the wheelchair.)
-->'''Sokka''': ''Wow, Aang! You're an ass!''
* TheWorfEffect: Zuko. "''Not so fast Avat''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck ooooh noooo...]]"

In yet another FollowTheLeader version of ''[[WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series]]'', [=GanXingba=] made an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged version]] of WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender. Can it capture the flavor of the original?
No, it really can't, which is sort of the point, but it keeps the basic character concepts roughly the same and just [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderizes]] the bejezus out of them. Aang is an annoying, clueless idiot [[DoggedNiceGuy even more hopelessly in love with Katara]], Katara is shrill, overbearing, and [[SoapBoxSadie needlessly optimistic]], Sokka is [[OnlySaneMan much snarkier]], Zuko is a stereotypical EmoTeen, and, inexplicably [[RuleOfFunny but hilariously]], Momo is Mexican and Iroh is a [[AlterKocker stereotypical Jewish old man]] (not to mention that Ozai sounds like [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Hulk Hogan]], Azula speaks ValleyGirl and Pakku is the only [[BonnieScotland Scottish Water Tribesman]]). It works. It also gave us "Kung Fu Action Jesus".
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zltbcBlDtPg The first episode can be viewed here.]] [[http://avatarabridged.com/ Now has its own website]].
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* AllGirlsLikePonies: "Our wedding's gonna have ponies... and flowers... and ponies..."
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Viciously parodied with Jet and Katara.
* AlterKocker: Iroh
* ArmorIsUseless: "This papier-mâché armor is useless!"
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: See ForeignQueasine below.
* AttentionWhore: Aang.
* AuthorAvatar: Sokka may be turning into this.
** Much of the series is AuthorAvatar for [=GanXingba=] to point out plot holes and other logical inconsistencies. The comet conversation between Aang and Avatar Roku, for example.
*** So, [[IncrediblyLamePun the Avatars are the Author Avatars]]?
* AxCrazy: King Bumi.
--> '''Katara:''' "Well, at least we know we weren't in any real danger."
--> '''Bumi:''' "Oh no, I was ''definitely'' going to kill you."
** Also Jet, with a healthy dose of paranoia.
* BadassMustache: In the "Day of Black Stache" special, Haru's mustache [[spoiler: which is so powerful that it can single-handedly defeat Fire Lord Ozai]].
* BecauseISaidSo: Roku's explanation about the comet giving firebenders more power.
* BerserkButton: Do not be the guy who didn't call Mike Tyson 'Iron Man' (ep. 6). Also see TrashTalk below.
** "THEY'RE NOT MUTTON CHOOOOOOOPS!!!!"
* BrainBleach: "Now I'm scarred physically ''and'' mentally!"
** [[spoiler:The closest Aang can manage is to burn Appa's harness, bathe him a dozen times and find a therapist (re. ep 11).]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-cnbr62Clc Episode 6]] was devoted to this very concept.
-->'''Jet:''' You're too late to stop me.\\
'''Aang:''' Please. I'm the Avatar. You can't even bend! You don't stand a- (''crashes into tree with a loud thud'') Okay, seriously, ''what the crap''? [[WhoWritesThisCrap Who wrote this episode?]] [[spoiler: It was Zuko.]]
* BringMyBrownPants: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24uo7dUf8hk Episode 5]].
* BrickJoke:
-->'''Katara:''' *sigh* Crushed optimism...
* ButtMonkey: Sokka
-->'''Sokka:''' Well Aang, because when I'm being pursued by people who want to kill me, I'd rather throw them off by walking through a dense forest than ''fly through an empty sky on a giant freaking bison''!
-->'''Katara:''' That may make sense, but since you're trying to be the leader, I'm guessing this is gonna fail horribly.
-->'''Sokka:''' Oh c'mon, [[TemptingFate the writers don't hate me that muuuu....]]
** He hangs a lampshade on it in Episode 9.
--->'''Bato:''' You should try to find your friend Aang.
--->'''one transition later, Sokka and Katara are being chased by a mercenary'''
--->'''Sokka:''' Why do I ever listen to ''anybody!?''
** Zuko is as well, and he hangs a lampshade on it in Episode 9.
---> '''Zuko:''' That's it! I'm not gonna let myself be humiliated anymore--* gets struck by the shirshu's tongue* OH THIS IS JUST EXCESSIVE!
* CallingTheOldManOut: Katara calling out Master Paku about his ideals of female fighters
* CallingYourAttacks
---> '''Katara:''' [[MarvelVsCapcom BESERKER BARRAAGE!]]
* CampGay: Haru. Just... Haru.
* CanadaEh: Lieutenant Jee.
-->Zuko: "[[HypocriticalHumor Jee, your accent is ruining our image!]]"
* CastingGag: The warden in "Imprisoned" is gay. Who voiced him in the actual show? George Takei.
* CharacterExaggeration: Naturally.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Hinted at with Zhao's naval crew, as opposed to Zuko's (see CanadaEh below)
--> "They're all lined up in a straight line with their guns pointed the same way... they're probably French."
* ChickMagnet: Iroh, to the tune of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXkMKgTr-Q#t=5m 5000 points on "The Game of Love"]]. Also qualifies as a KavorkaMan.
* CombatCommentator: added to the big [[spoiler:Katara vs Pakku fight]] in ep. 11.
* CombatPragmatist: [[PlayingWithFire Iroh's]] [[GroinAttack fireball]].
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: ''"Zuzu's Date"''. [[spoiler: At first]].
--> '''Zuko''': I don't think rabbits can operate screwdrivers without opposable thumbs.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Jet, with his "crazed theories" about the Freemasons and Illuminati. In fact Viacom deleted this episode because Jet knew too much of the truth.
* CrazySurvivalist: Jet, leading the battle against the Martians... Er, Fire Nation, basically {{Expy}}ing a mix of [[MetalGearSolid Solid Snake]] and The Question from JusticeLeagueUnlimited.
* CutAndPasteTranslation: Will rearrange the order of episodes, paste two [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcIlpeaR48I (or more)]] episodes as one, and radically alter some plots instead of just abridging them. But this is likely more for RuleOfFunny than anything else. [[spoiler:And a bit of FridgeBrilliance when you realise ''why'' the Blue Spirit's first scene comes before Zuko's first scene in ep. 8.]]
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Episode 9 again.
-->"Now that we can conveniently move, I have a convenient plan that conveniently involves these convenient vats of perfume they conveniently make at this temple!"
-->"How convenient!"
* [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm Does Not Understand Innuendo]]: On the Zuzu's Date episode, his date tries every innuendo short of saying that she wants to have sex with him, failing to get across her meaning to Zuko. In the end, she flat out says that she wants to have sex with him, and instantly, Zuko is transformed from whiny bitch to lady's man extraordinaire.
* DontExplainTheJoke: King Bumi has this as almost his entire personality:
-->'''Bumi:''' So in other words, they went postal! Get it? Postal, mail delivery system...
** Yes? No? Maybe? Lobster?
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Chong]] in episode 5.
* ElSpanishO: Sokka attempting to communicate with Momo.
* EmoTeen: '''Zuko'''.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Yeah, Aang's gonna go play with penguins now. Yeah, penguins, yeah!
* {{Eyedscreen}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhVPxYCXeRA Episode 8.]] At least twice.
* FollowTheLeader: Sister production ''ATAS TV'' is modelled after AMVHell.
* ForeignQueasine: Episode 9. [[spoiler: Batou serves up [[{{Squick}} whale testicles and even more in Episode 11: "In honor of the Avatar's arrival (and my daughter Yue's sweet sixteen) please enjoy this feast of seal testicles, penguin testicles, polar bear testicles,]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and gazpacho."]].]]
* ForScience: Complete with Trumpet Music, and that makes everything okay.
