1	->'''Katara:''' It's a random stranger that I can exhibit naive optimism towards! ''Yay'', naive optimism!\
2	'''Aang:''' Uh... who are you?\
3	'''Katara:''' An optimist!\
4	'''Sokka:''' And '''I'm''' a skeptic! Skepticism, skepticism, ''skepticism''...\

10	In yet another FollowTheLeader version of ''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series]]'', [=GanXingba=] made an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged version]] of WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender. Can it capture the flavor of the original?
11
12	No, it really can't, which is sort of the point, but it keeps the basic character concepts roughly the same and just [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerates]] 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 [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Scottish Water Tribesman]]). It works. It also gave us "Kung Fu Action Jesus".
13
14	[[http://avatarabridged.com/ Had its own website]] (now defunct). And then [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Viacom blocked the entire series, at least in North America]].
15	----
16	!!This series provides examples of:
17
18	* AddledAddict: King Bumi has become this in the years that Aang's been gone.
19	--> '''Aang:''' ''Bumi?!'' What happened to you?!\
20	'''Bumi:''' ''Steroids and crack cocaine!''
21	* AllPeriodsArePMS:
22	-->'''Sokka:''' Now sis, remember what we said about Waterbending when you're [=PMSing=]...
23	** In a commentary of episode one, the creator of the series explicitly stated that that joke is the one that he's gotten the most criticism for and admits that it wasn't a very good idea anyway.
24	* AllGirlsLikePonies: "Our wedding's gonna have ponies... and flowers... and ponies..."
25	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Viciously parodied with Jet and Katara.
26	* AlterKocker: Iroh
27	* ArmorIsUseless: "This papier-mâché armor is useless!"
28	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: See ForeignQueasine below.
29	* ATeamFiring: Zuko's gunships. "I don't even have to dodge. He just kinda misses."
30	* AttentionWhore: Aang. He’s constantly looking for attention, especially from Katara. This is most prominent in episodes 4 and 9 where he doesn’t like it when his friends don’t give him enough attention.
31	* AuthorAvatar: Much of the series is AuthorAvatar[[labelnote:*]]Pardon the pun[[/labelnote]] for [=GanXingba=] to point out plot holes and other logical inconsistencies. The comet conversation between Aang and Avatar Roku, for example.
32	* AuthorPowers: In episode 6, Aang is defeated very easily by Jet (a non-bender) and he isn’t the traditional hero of the episode. He breaks the fourth wall and demands to know who wrote the episode. [[spoiler:It was Zuko.]]
33	* AxCrazy: King Bumi.
34	--> '''Katara:''' "Well, at least we know we weren't in any real danger."\
35	'''Bumi:''' "Oh no, I was ''definitely'' going to kill you."\
36	'''Aang:''' Bumi, you're psychotic.\
37	'''Bumi:''' Oh, you're too kind!
38	** Also Jet, with a healthy dose of paranoia.
39	* BecauseISaidSo: Roku's explanation about the comet giving firebenders more power.
40	* BerserkButton: Do not be the guy who didn't call Mike Tyson 'Iron Man' (ep. 6). Also see TrashTalk below.
41	** "THEY'RE NOT MUTTON CHOOOOOOOPS!!!!"
42	* BrainBleach: "Now I'm scarred physically ''and'' mentally!"
43	** [[spoiler:The closest Aang can manage is to burn Appa's harness, bathe him a dozen times and find a therapist (re. ep 11).]]
44	* BrainlessBeauty: Poor, poor Zuko.
45	-->'''Jin:''' You're ''really'' lucky you're hot, you know that?\
46	'''Zuko:''' Actually, I'm feeling a little chilly.
47	* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-cnbr62Clc Episode 6]] was devoted to this very concept.
48	-->'''Jet:''' You're too late to stop me.\
49	'''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?]]\
50	[[spoiler:'''Zuko:''' Thanks for teaching me to break the fourth wall, Uncle.\
51	'''Iroh:''' Ah, it's bupkis. What could you possibly need to do that for?\
52	'''Zuko:''' Oh, nothing...]]
53	* BringMyBrownPants:
54	--> ''(Zhao launches all of his ship's catapults)''\
55	'''Zuko:''' Uncle, I think I need a new pair of underwear...
56	* BrickJoke:
57	-->'''Katara:''' sigh Crushed optimism...
58	* ButtMonkey: Sokka. Bar none.
59	-->'''Aang:''' Uh,Sokka? Whhy are we walking again?\
60	'''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!''\
61	'''Katara:''' That may make sense, but because you're trying to be the leader, I'm guessing this is gonna fail horribly.\
62	'''Sokka:''' Oh c'mon, [[TemptingFate the writers don't hate me that muuuu....]]
63	** He hangs a lampshade on it in Episode 9.
64	--->'''Bato:''' You should go back and find Aang.\
65	''(One transition later, Sokka and Katara are being chased by a mercenary)''\
66	'''Sokka:''' Why do I ever listen to ''anybody!?''
67	** Zuko is as well, and he hangs a lampshade on it in Episode 9.
68	---> '''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!
69	* CallingTheOldManOut: Katara calling out Master Pakku about his ideals of female fighters
70	* CallingYourAttacks
71	---> '''Katara:''' [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom BERSERKER BARRAGE!]]
72	* CampGay: Haru. Just... Haru.
73	* CharacterExaggeration: Naturally.
74	* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Hinted at with Zhao's naval crew, as opposed to Zuko's.
75	--> "They're all lined up in a straight line with their guns pointed the same way... they're probably French."
76	* ChickMagnet: Iroh, to the tune of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXkMKgTr-Q#t=5m 5000 points on "The Game of Love"]]. Also qualifies as a KavorkaMan.
77	* CombatCommentator: added to the big [[spoiler:Katara vs Pakku fight]] in ep. 11.
78	--> [[spoiler:'''Commentator 1:''' Katara with the water blast, Pakku dodges left and counters with a shoulder and down goes Katara! Down goes Katara! Oh my! Pakku on the offensive, do you believe in miracles- AH! IT'S ALL OVER! ''IT'S ALL OVER!'' Oh my, let's see that again!\
79	''(instant replay)''\
80	'''Commentator 2:''' Veteran move by Pakku here, goin' from the scoopity-boopity to the flippity-floppity and the rumbly-bumbly and then finishing with a bit of the razzly-dazzly!\
81	'''Commentator 1:''' You're drunk again, Chip.\
82	'''Commentator 2:''' I've got a problem, Jimmy.]]
83	* CombatPragmatist: Iroh's preferred fighting style is the GroinAttack.
84	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: ''Zuzu's Date''. [[spoiler: At first]].
85	--> '''Jin:''' Come on! Let's go back to my place and screw like rabbits!\
86	'''Zuko''': I don't think rabbits can operate screwdrivers without opposable thumbs.
87	* 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.
88	--> '''Jet:''' Hey, Sokka. Wanna go grab some glory?\
89	'''Sokka:''' Glory? Where?\
90	''(Later, the two of them set up an ambush)''\
91	'''Sokka:''' Hey Jet, where's the glory? All I see is an old man.\
92	'''Jet:''' Not just an old man. He works for... ''Them.''\
93	'''Sokka:''' Who?\
94	'''Jet:''' ''Them!'' They're like the Freemasons, Templars, and Men in Black combined. They must be ''stopped. You! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Give me your]] '''[[ItMakesSenseInContext shoelaces!]]'''''
95	* CrazySurvivalist: Jet, leading the battle against the Martians... Er, Fire Nation, basically {{Expy}}ing a mix of [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] and The Question from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''.
96	* CurseCutShort: Zhao gets one in the last seconds of Episode 8 after burning down his entire fleet of ships.
97	--> '''Aang:''' You know, you firebenders probably shouldn't use wooden ships. [[BerserkButton Or wear mutton chops.]]\
98	'''Zhao:''' ...Son ''of '''a BIIIIIIII-'''''
99	* DeadFic: The series hasn't been updated since episode 11.
100	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
101	** Episode 5 has two from Bumi.
102	--> "So in other words, they went postal! Get it? Postal, mail delivery system..."
103	--> "Yes? No? Maybe? Lobster?"
104	** And Episode 9.
105	--> '''Sokka:''' 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!"\
106	'''Katara:'''How convenient!
107	* DirtyKid: Aang. Twelve years old, and he propositions Katara for some make-up sex.
108	* DisproportionateRetribution: Team Avatar are almost on the end of this at the beginning of Episode 6.
109	-->'''Fire Nation Soldier:''' Men, we've been discovered by a harmless looking group of children. Kill them.
110	* DontExplainTheJoke: King Bumi has this as almost his entire personality:
111	* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Chong]] in episode 5.
112	* ElSpanishO: Sokka attempting to communicate with Momo.
113	* EmoTeen: '''Zuko'''. He always complains about how unfair his life is and really wants to get his dad to love him. ''And his voice.''
114	* EntendreFailure: 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.
115	* {{Eyedscreen}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhVPxYCXeRA Episode 8.]] At least twice.
116	* ForeignQueasine: Apparently, animal testicles are a Water Tribe delicacy. In Episode 9, Batou serves up a soup of whale testicles, and Episode 11 features a feast involving "seal testicles, penguin testicles, polar bear testicles, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking gazpacho]]."
117	* ForScience: Complete with Trumpet Music, and that makes everything okay.
118	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In Episode 6, when the kids are cheering for Jet's speech, you can hear someone say 'sieg heil' among the cheers. May also double as CrossesTheLineTwice.
119	* GagEcho: In the first episode, Sokka, Aang and Zuko all mention the "iceberg pinata" explanation for a HumanPopsicle. Later, we learn that Aang and Zuko are both amazingly obsessed with eating Lucky Charms for breakfast.
120	* GambitRoulette: Episode 8
121	-->'''Zhao:''' Well darn, it looks like I'm out of luck barring a sudden promotion, like the one arriving right now.
122	-->'''Colonel Shinu:''' What!? There's no way you could have timed this down to the second!
123	-->'''Zhao:''' Of course I can. I went to the [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] School of Strategy. I can practically predict the future.
124	* GivingUpOnLogic: Sokka comes dangerously close to it when he lampshades the SchizoTech of the series.
125	* TheGhost: [=GanXingba=] himself. He's one of the very few abridgers who has publicized basically nothing about his personal life, despite doing not only this show but being a part of the high-profile Creator/TeamFourStar. (His real name ''can'' be found on the Intarwebs, but that's about it.)
126	* TheHyena: Yue is an odd case. Most of her dialogue is just her giggling girlishly. Even when she cries.
127	* IdiotBall: Sokka actually caught "stupid" as a disease. Then Katara came down with it.
128	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Zuko.
129	--> '''Aang:''' I don't even really have to dodge. He just kind of misses."
130	* ItsAllAboutMe: Aang tends to be very self-centered and wants to be hailed as a hero. In episode 9, he keeps the map leading to Sokka and Katara’s father a secret because he wants them to keep paying attention to him.
131	* [[KungFuJesus Kung Fu (Action) Jesus]]:
132	-->"Kung Fu Action Jesus!
133	-->He's fightin' the bad guys,
134	-->And making them pay!
135	-->With magic kung fu,
136	-->He'll save the day!
137	-->It's Kung Fu Action Jesus!"
138	* LargeHam: Ozai would be right at home in WWE.
139	-->'''Ozai:''' OZAI-MANIA'S ABOUT TO RUN ''WILD''. ON ''YOUR '''FACE!'''''
140	* LarynxDissonance: Especially Katara. [[spoiler:Or at least until she TookALevelInBadass.]]
141	* LeetLingo: Episode 5, when Aang flies Appa through the Fire Nation blockade.
142	--> '''Aang:''' ROFLMAO learn to play n00bs!\
143	'''Zhao:''' [=HAX0R!!=]
144	* LetMeGetThisStraight: The Mechanist can invent tanks, jet skis, and a ''gigantic'' friggin' drill... but the concept of a hot air balloon somehow eludes him.
145	* LookBehindYou: The way Katara was able to get the Waterbending scroll away from the pirates is by convincing them there was a ninja.
146	* ManOfAThousandVoices: [=GanXingba=] voiced every character up until Episode 11, which is the only episode to have guest voice actors.
147	* [[spoiler:MileHighClub]]: [[spoiler:"You did WHAT with Yue on APPA?!?"]]
148	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Sokka, even more than in the original series.
149	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Steam. Powered. Jet skis.
150	* NakedPeopleAreFunny- Do ''not'' bother Iroh during "Naked Iroh Time".
151	-->'''Zuko:''' Awww, now I'm scarred physically ''and'' [[BrainBleach mentally]]!
152	* NaughtyNuns: Episode 9.
153	-->'''Sokka:''' Wow Bato, the nuns let you stay here for ''free?!''\
154	'''Bato:''' Let's just say they haven't exactly seen a man in a while...
155	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Zuko's whiny voice sounds similar to [[Creator/RobPaulsen Rob Paulsen's]] "wussier" characters, such as [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop P.J.]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Carl Wheezer]].
156	* NowYouTellMe:
157	-->'''Gyatso:''' Remember, Aang, if you ever fall into the water during a storm, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDomxo4Ut5U#t=3m16 never freeze yourself in a block of ice like a complete idiot.]]
158	* ObliviousToLove: Katara doesn’t seem to notice the obvious hints that Aang likes her.
159	* OhCrap: Pakku in Episode 11 during his fight with Katara.
160	-->'''Pakku:''' Ohohoho!!!! Oh, you sure showed me lass! Ohoho-''CHRIST ON A CRACKER!!!''
161	* OnlySaneMan: Definitely Sokka. This status is firmly established in episode 10.
162	* OutOfCharacterMoment: "If I acknowledge that part of my character, the plot falls apart! I don't have a choice."
163	** "Look, I just need to use them[[note]]The Yuyan Archers[[/note]] as a plot device for this one episode. I promise that afterwards, they'll never be mentioned again."
164	* PrecisionFStrike: Katara's [[CallingtheOldManOut calling Pakku out]] in episode 11.
165	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Plenty of these to go around.
166	** Katara in Episode 1: "Give! Me! My! ''CHOCOLATE!''"
167	** Sokka in Episode 10: "Steam. Powered. Jet skis."
168	** Zuzu's Date has one too.
169	--> '''Jin:''' Okay, I'll keep it simple. I want. To have ''sex''. ''With you.''
170	* PungeonMaster: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84lw4ouziF4 Amon]].
171	* SarcasmMode- "''Sarcastic'' skepticism."
172	* SchizoTech:
173	-->'''Sokka:''' Let me get this straight: you can invent tanks[[note]]invented 1915[[/note]], jet skis[[note]]invented 1973[[/note]], and a gi-''gantic fuh-riggin' drill''[[note]]invented [[YearX 20XX]])[[/note]]... but the concept of a ''hot air balloon''[[note]]invented 1783[[/note]]... eluuuuudes you. ...I hate this world and everyone in it.
174	* ScreamingAtSquick: When Katara has a dream about Zuko flirting with her, she wakes up screaming in horror.
175	* ShoutOut: Tons, in TheAbridgedSeries [[ReferenceOverdosed tradition]].
176	** [[Series/{{House}} It's not lupus.]]
177	** Aang questions why Bato doesn't [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell have cybernetic eyes]].
178	** [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Heart being crossed out of the four elements. Also note Katara's pronunciation of 'mmwwwwWATER' towards the end.]]
179	** And Jet's obsession with shoelaces alludes to one of [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague the Question's]] best known lines. "The tips of shoelaces are called aglets - their true purpose is sinister."
180	** There's no way June's voice isn't a nod to [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros Doctor Girlfriend]].
181	** In episode ten, Aang wants to be absolutely sure that they will be flying into a zone that is extremely dangerous. [[Film/TopGun A "Danger Zone", if you will.]]
182	** Episode 8: "[[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Gentlemen, BEHOLLLD]]!!"
183	** "[[Creator/MarxBrothers Why a duck? Why a duck?!]]"
184	** Zhao went to the [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] School of Strategy; he can practically predict the future!
185	*** Culminating in a dramatic "Just as planned... OhCrap." moment.
186	** [[ComicBook/XMen "Hey, Wolverine, nice side burns!" "Why thank you, Cyclops, how's the eye?"]]
187	** Yue sounding like the chick from ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'' initially.
188	** Bumi: [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail What... is your name? [...] What... is your quest?]]
189	** '''Zhao:''' [[Franchise/StarWars When we last met, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master!]]
190	** [[WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged Colonel Avdol]]: "Admiral Zhao... I have leaned over a great deal of time the only to defeat the Northern Water Tribe... is to burn it."
191	*** Which in itself calls back a similar shout-out in Antfish's own series where Abdul has an ImagineSpot where he is crowned as "Fire Lord Abdul," and when he's snapped out of it, he screams "I WILL DESTROY THE AVATAR!" Aang, voiced by [=GanXingba=], pops in and adds his disapproval of this plan.
192	** And, at the end of the first episode, a reference to ''another'' series of videos (Avatar Stupidity).
193	--> '''Aang''': Who are you?
194	--> '''Katara''': I'm Kata-
195	--> '''Aang''': [[Film/JamesBond Pussy Galore?]] I must be in heaven!
196	--> '''Katara''': angry You ''will'' be in a second!
197	* SideEffectsInclude: The side effects for Haru's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44yrY9YO3tc&list=PL2E5F4D8CC665D8FB&index=4&feature=plpp_video Sexyfine Shampoo]] are as follows: "Headaches, blood clots, green rashes, gonorrhea, albinism, thumb cancer, chocolate cravings, heroin addiction, pregnancy, ear mutation, increased risk of cyborg koala attack, the apocalypse, and Zutara." Your Mileage May Vary if that last one is a case of ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or not.
198	* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: "Why a duck? Why a duck?!"
199	* SnubByOmission:
200	--> '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSwNcdJG6AI#t=1m39 King Bumi:]]''' Good try, but if you want to save the girl -\
201	'''Sokka:''' And Sokka!
202	* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Amon's jokes consistently fail to get a laugh out of the audience, but he never stops his drive to make it as a comedian (or at least find someone who does at least find his jokes funny).
203	* SpitTake: Aang does one (offscreen) in Episode 9 upon learning that he's been eating [[{{Squick}} whale testicle soup]].
204	* StalkerWithACrush:
205	** When Katara is crushing on Haru, she follows him all over the place.
206	** In fact, she is named Stalker Girl. She very clearly likes Aang and follows after him, [[spoiler:even to the fortress where she dresses up as the Blue Spirit to save him.]]
207	** Zuko with Katara. He even had a lock of her hair.
208	--> '''Iroh:''' You took a lock of that water tribe girl's hair?\
209	'''Zuko:''' Well, yeah. I just wanted a piece of her with me everywhere I went.
210	* StayInTheKitchen: Master Pakku believes that if woman aren't healers or summoners they should be this.
211	--> '''Master Pakku:''' So go learn to heal or get in the kitchen and ''make some babies!''
212	* SteamPunk: Sokka addresses its absurdity in episode 10.
213	--> '''Sokka:''' Steam... powered... ''jet skis''.
214	* StockScream: There's a Wilhelm early in ep. 9.
215	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Aang, Sokka, and Zuko are all independently aware of what an "iceberg piñata" is.
216	* TemptingFate:
217	** The very first line of the series.
218	--> '''Sokka:''' "Wow, what a ''normal and uneventful'' day we're having, surely nothing ''exciting and life-changing'' could hap- oh ''crap''."
219	** [[RuleOfThree Why a duck? Why a duck?!]]
220	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp9oxRr4poc Ep. 11]] devotes up to 40 seconds in the opening to this.
221	** Episode 8 opens with one of these moments.
222	--> '''Zhao:''' I went to the Light Yagami school of Strategy; I can practically predict the future! And I forsee my capture of the Avatar within the week.\
223	'''Blue Spirit:''' And ''I'' forsee your subsequent humiliation.
224	* ThrowTheDogABone: Zuko, resident ButtMonkey of the show, is given a break in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRKSLnfayx0 Zuzu's Date]], where he gets to [[spoiler:make out (and probably do a little more...) with Jin]].
225	* TookALevelInBadass: Aang can effortlessly own anyone, provided he's not being written by [[spoiler: Zuko]].
226	** Katara in episode 11.
227	* TooKinkyToTorture: Sokka, after being paralyzed by the shirshu.
228	--> '''Sokka:''' Somehow I'm paralyzed, and strangely aroused at the same time.
229	* TrashTalk:
230	** When Aang is fighting Zhao, he resorts to taunting him about having mutton chops, which causes Zhao to fly into a rage and accidentally burn his ships.
231	** Aang loses it when a glider pilot "does the ancient Airbender equivalent of You Got Served."
232	-->'''Aang:''' So you think you're hot shit, huh?! Well I got news for yo' punk ass! You ain't got nothin'! Ho ho, what is this, loop-de-loops? Get that J.V. shit outta here, son!
233	** The guy Aang's trashing? Teo. Sokka treats it as a WhatTheHellHero after the reveal.
234	* ValleyGirl: Azula, apparently.
235	* WeirdnessCensor: Sokka is starting to question some of the absurdities he runs into.
236	* WellDoneSonGuy: Zuko.
237	--> "Time to make Daddy love me!"
238	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: When Aang states that he's master of all the elements, the four main elements' symbols are shown around him. A heart symbol then suddenly appears but is quickly X'd out.
239	* 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[[note]]The kid in the wheelchair[[/note]].
240	-->'''Sokka''': Wow, Aang! You're a real ass! Even ''I'' wouldn't pick on a handicapped kid!
241	* TheWorfEffect: Zuko. "''Not so fast Avat''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck ooooh noooo...]]"
242	* WorthIt:
243	** Sokka's attitude to sacrificing the air balloon's fuel source to get rid of Music/KennyLoggins music.
244	** Also why Zhao just watched Aang kick Zuko's ass rather than stop him from getting away.
245	* WrongGenreSavvy: Master Pakku. His sexism is now a combination of StayInTheKitchen and the expectation that female protagonists must [[Franchise/FinalFantasy remain in the back row and heal or summon monsters.]]
246	* {{Yandere}}: One episode character Meng is turned into one. She calls Aang her lover and she follows after him when he leaves her village. [[spoiler:She goes as far as dressing as the Blue Spirit and as Zuko so that she could get Aang all to herself.]]
247	-->'''Meng:''' You can run, lover, but you can’t hide.
248	* YankTheDogsChain: “When It’s Done” has Zuko join Aang and his friends and he’s finally happy. Just when he’s getting excited about all the fun things he’ll get to do with his new friends, Iroh pops in and tells him that once Ozai is defeated, their time together is done. Cue Zuko crying.
249	* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: Iroh.
250	* YourOtherLeft: "Down Fluffles, down! * ffwump* "No, the other down!" * whump*
251
252	----
253	->'''Katara:''' Encouraging optimism?\
254	'''Aang:''' Yeah, [[OverusedRunningGag I'm gonna have to ask you guys to stop doing that]].
