7	The "Super Deformed Shorts" are three short episodes on based on the {{animated series}} ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' that were released on the [[DVDBonusContent season 2 DVD]] (season 3 in PAL regions).
8
9	This short series uses a {{chibi}} art style and soft pastel colors to tell funny, blatantly non-{{canon}} stories about the series' characters, one of which was set in a strange [[HighSchoolAU elementary school AU]]. The characters are depicted as much younger than their canonical incarnations and interacting in [[LighterAndSofter light]], improbable ways.
10
11	More information, including plot summaries of the three episodes, can be found on [[http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Deformed_Shorts the relevant page]] of the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' wiki.

13	----
14	!!These shorts contain examples of the following tropes:
15
16	* AgeLift: A weird example with June the bounty hunter. She makes a cameo appearance in ''School Time Shipping'' in the same classroom as several characters meant to be kids or teenagers, implying she is not an adult in this chibi series.
17	* ArtShift: Zuko temporarily shifts into his season 1 design from the main series when Katara calls his chibi form cute.
18	* BerserkButton: When Katara calls Zuko cute, [[HatesBeingCalledCute he gets really angry and yells that he is not cute.]]
19	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yue.
20	--> '''"DON'T MAKE ME USE MY MOON POWERS ON YOU!"'''
21	* ButtMonkey: Sokka, not that this is a huge shift. He gets caught in Suki and Yue's fight in ''School Time Shipping'', Aang, Toph and Katara all use him as a dummy to show off their powers in ''Bending Battle'', and in ''Swamp Skiing'', well...
22	* CanonDiscontinuity: None of these shorts are canon with the main Avatar story and occur in a much more lighthearted and comedic universe.
23	* {{Chibi}}: With {{Blush Sticker}}s and CrossPoppingVeins.
24	* ChickMagnet: Sokka attracts both Suki and Yue. As such, both girls get jealous of each other and begin fighting over him.
25	* ConvectionSchmonvection: Zuko riding on a lava dragon.
26	* CrazyJealousGuy: Aang becomes quite jealous when he sees Zuko, Haru, and Jet surround Katara and offer her bouquets of flowers. In fact, he gets so jealous that he goes into the Avatar State.
27	* DenserAndWackier: Contains a lot of really over-the-top scenarios compared to the main series.
28	* DidntSeeThatComing: Zuko, when Katara reveals who she's going to the dance with: [[spoiler: his [[RuleOfFunny alter-ego]], the Blue Spirit]].
29	* DudeMagnet: Katara in "School Time Shipping" is so popular with guys that she has four guys fighting for her affection. [[spoiler:There's also a fifth guy whom she chooses over her four suitors.]]
30	* DVDBonusContent: As noted above, the shorts were originally released as DVD Extras.
31	* EatTheCamera: Aang enters the Avatar State in ''School Time Shipping'' and eats the camera.
32	* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Parodied - ''Bending Battle'' starts with the scene pictured above.
33	--> "What's ''that'' supposed to be, Sokka?"
34	--> "This is [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang BOOMERANG!]]"
35	* EyesOutOfSight: Toph as usual. Exaggerated due to the deformed style, as her eyes are not visible at all.
36	* TheFaceOfTheSun: Seen at the beginning of ''Bending Battle'' and ''Swamp Skiin' Throwdown''.
37	* FacePalm: For all of the failed attempts at winning their love interest in ''School Time Shipping''.
38	* ForTheEvulz: Azula, for no reason at all, zaps Katara with her lightningbending.
39	* HeartSymbol: Tons in ''School Time Shipping''. Also appears in the other two shorts.
40	* HighSchoolAU: ''School Time Shipping'' takes place in a universe where all the characters appear to go to the same school, complete with Avatar Roku as the teacher and Iroh as the guidance counselor.
41	* IWillShowYouX:
42	-->'''Katara''': Tiny Zuko! He looks so cute!
43	-->'''Zuko''': I AM NEITHER CUTE NOR TINY!
44	-->'''Iroh''': You are pretty cute, my tiny nephew.
45	-->'''Zuko''': I'LL SHOW YOU TINY!
46	* MythologyGag: Aang becomes ash and blows away similar to Gyatso in Aang's nightmare from "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheStorm The Storm]]."
47	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Sokka loses his pants several times in the "Swamp-Skiing" short, at least two instances resulting in his bare butt being exposed.
48	* NoseNuggets: Toph pulls a massive one out of her nose at the start of ''Bending Battle.''
49	* PinballGag: Toph uses earthbending to make Sokka a living pinball.
50	* PointlessBandAid: Mai has a Band-Aid on her nose.
51	* {{Shipping}}: InUniverse; the school short comments on the shipping phenomenon, as well as Katara's status as a {{launcher of a thousand ships}}.
52	** ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Haru/Ty Lee were paired in the short, despite the fact they never met in the canon.[[invoked]]
53	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Ty Lee and Haru, in ''School Time Shipping''. "I ''like'' sensitive guys!"
54	* SixIsNine:
55	** Momo turns over his sign to change Aang's score from six to nine.
56	** And then Appa does the same to turn his score [[RuleOfFunny from eight to... eight.]]
57	* SpoofAesop: Iroh gives one. "Now I hope that you can see that each element has its own strengths and weaknesses. [[HypocriticalHumor But fire is the best!]]"
58	* {{Squick}}: InUniverse: Aang airbends a paper airplane with an invitation to the dance over to Katara, only for her to assume it came from the guy sitting next to her: [[spoiler:a giggling, snorting King Bumi.]] Ick.
59	* TookALevelInJerkass: Aang in the "Swamp-Skiing" short.
