Funny moments in Avatar Abridged
General
- Iroh is inexplicably Jewish, so nearly every line out of his mouth is gold. Like this exchange:Iroh: Oy vey, get it right already! It's "wax-on, wax-off", not "wax-on, wax-on"!
Zuko: I've done this five-hundred times already, Uncle! Why won't you teach me the advanced fire-bending moves?
Iroh: Because you suck! Now get back to work, you whiny little putz! - Also, any time Zuko whines.Zuko: Unnncle, hurry up, I'm gonna be late for the Fall Out Boy concert!
- Any time he says "NYEH!" in his high pitched voice, specifically in episode 9.
Episode 1
- The optimism/skepticism duel in episode 1 remains a classic.
- The fact that Sokka, Aang, and Zuko all independently confirm that Iceberg Piñatas are a thing.
Episode 2
- One word: HUMILIATION! when Zuko kicks an attacking Sokka in the face sending him into the ground and Katara's reaction: "Yup, that's about what I expected..."
- Aang and Zuko's first meeting:Zuko: You're coming with me!
Aang: Will there be candy?
Zuko: Uh, yeah...happy candy. From the, uh...Happy Company. Just, uh...get in the van—I mean ship.
Aang: Yeah, candy! Yeeeaaah! - "So he's like... Kung Fu Action Jesus?"
- "Ah...NO. And...NO. P.S. you're smelly!"
- Then this happened.Katara: Aang, we're here to save you!
Aang: Yeah I pretty much took care of that myself, but thanks for bringing my bison. You're like a valet! - Zuko and Zhao exchange X-Men related taunts.Zuko: Hey Wolverine, nice sideburns!Zhao: Why thank you, Cyclops, how's the eye?
- Zuko insisting that a firebending duel is called an Agni Kai because "it sounds Asian-ish"
- Zhao loses the Agni Kai with style.Zhao: Now to finish you- Oh shit, banana peel!Guy in background: [Simpleton Voice] Dah, my bad! I couldn't find the trash can!

Episode 3
- At the very beginning of episode 3:Suki: Shut up or we'll feed you to our sea monster, Larry the Unquenchable!
Sokka: We've been kidnapped by a group of warrior women? Oh no! This could only mean... This is the girl-power episode, isn't it?
Suki: That about sums it up.
Sokka: I'll take the sea monster option, please. - Aang, during his attempt to ride Larry The Unquenchable."Can't die, still a virgin! Can't die, still a virgin! Can't die, still a virgin!!"

- The aftermath of Episode 3.Sokka: "No, no, no. This is too good. This is too good. Okay, so the first girl my age I ever meet, I get a kiss, like that. You chase some guy halfway across the region, and not only does he reject you, but it turns out he's gay?! Sokka: One, Katara: Negative Five!" (Iroh: 5000)
- Made even funnier by the captions running during Sokka's rant:Target Acquired. Firing Pimp Gun… DIRECT HIT! Target Successfully Pimped!Stalking... Stalking... Stalking... Stalking... Restraining Order. I'm a pretty little fairy!
