Avatar: The Last Airbender/Funny: Difference between revisions

== Book 1 ==

* Sokka cements his role as the party's [[Deadpan Snarker]] with this exchange from the first episode:

'''Sokka''': "Right, and this is Katara, my flying sister." }}

* Zuko gets a ''lot'' of [[Hypocritical Humor]] in the series.

*** [[Animal Talk|Hey!]]

** The best part is the "real" history of what happend between Way Jin and Jin Way. Personally I loved the giant panda.

* The time when Zuko lands on the Southern Pole village and a boomerang hits him on the back of his head.

** And did anyone realize that Iroh slept through that whole episode of capturing the Avatar?

*** Which is made only funnier upon remembering that Zuko told someone "Wake my uncle!" right before they went to the village.

* From "The Northern Air Temple"

'''Sokka:''' I'm just saying you're an optimist. Same thing, basically. }}

** From that same episode, I believe, Aang is enjoying the fame he's getting from the young female population of the island, to the point of it going overboard several times. One event: A painter trying to capture an image of just him and one girl. Every time he looks back up, there are MORE girls in the picture, until they overshadow Aang. Cut back to the painter with a...not very amused look on his face.

** Again from "The Warriors of Kyoshi": Zuko abandons his dinner to set the course to Kyoshi. Of course, [[Big Eater|Iroh]] asks Zuko if he was going to eat his meal, only for Zuko to turn around and grab his plate, declaring, "I WAS GOING TO SAVE IT FOR LATER!", much to Iroh's disappointment.

*** This is actually the only time in the ''entire series'' that Zuko laughs out loud. Ever.

** For some reason this one always cracks me up--

'''Zuko''': It's good to know this trip was a complete waste of time FOR EVERYONE! }}

** From that same episode, this dialogue shortly after the Gaang gets captured:

'''Iroh''': ''(to Katara)'' Yeah, it kind of is. }}

'''Sokka''': ''(Encouraging tone)'' Yeah... We're all gonna get eaten by a spirit monster. }}

** Also from the "Water Scroll" episode:

'''Iroh''': Maybe it should be a proverb... }}

*** The fact that Iroh breaks up the fight by ''grabbing Zuko's ponytail.''

** While Iroh tells Zuko that he changed their ship's course so Iroh could go shopping for another Lotus Tile, the prince just stands there fuming. At the end of Iroh's explanation, he looks up and ''breathes fire''. As smoke begins to fill the room, Iroh cheerfully remarks, "I'm lucky to have such an understanding nephew."

* The scene in ''Imprisoned'' where Katara and Sokka use [[Bad Bad Acting|bad acting]] to convince the Fire Nation guards that Katara is an earthbender:

** "Take this! EARTHBENDING STYLE!" [[Beat]] "I said... EARTHBENDING STYLE!" "That lemur! It's... Earthbending!"

** And the Fire Nation soldier just looks a bit embarrassed for his mistake.

* Also from ''Imprisoned'':

'''Warden:''' Then wake up someone I ''haven't'' thrown overboard and search this rig! There's something going on here and I don't like it! }}

** That scene was made 10 times more funny by the casting of [[George Takei]] as the Warden.

** Sokka's theory on Bumi's name, and Katara's response: "We're gonna keep trying, but that is a good backup." Also, when asked how she's doing: "Other than the crystal slowly encasing my entire body, doing great!"

* This, from "The Storm":

'''Old Fisherman''': "I'm not, but I still don't wanna!" }}

** Same episode:

*** But later:

'''Sokka''': "Food eats people! ''(beat)'' Also, Momo could talk. You said some very unkind things." }}

*** At the very beginning of that episode, Aang wakes up everyone, and Sokka sits up, half-awake, knife and boomerang in hand, and says in a very sleepy voice: "What happened? [[Genre Savvy|Did we get captured again?]]"

** And the look on Iroh's face as he's giving Lieutenant Jee the "Don't bring that topic up if you know what's good for you" sign. It doesn't work, but if you look in the background, it makes you die laughing.

* With Katara and Sokka both sick after being caught in a storm, the first time Momo tries to fulfill Katara's request for water, he comes back with a mouse. A little later, we cut back to them and find that Momo still hasn't gotten the idea, and in the meantime has filled the cave with a mountain of odds and ends. The latest is a crown he puts right on Katara's head (Funny Moment of Crowning?), causing the hallucinating Sokka to call her "your majesty."

** Also from the same episode:

'''Medicine Woman''': That's riiiiight! }}

* "I laugh at gravity all the time! Heh heh. Gravity."

* Master Pakku was always good for these:

'''Pakku''': No, please, march right in; I'm not concentrating or anything. }}

** One commercial break later...

'''Pakku''': [[Deadpan Snarker|No.]] }}

* From "Jet"

'''Sokka:''' [[Genre Savvy|HE'S A GIGANTIC FLUFFY MONSTER WITH AN ARROW ON HIS HEAD]], it's kind of hard to miss him! }}

** "Sokka's just jealous cause he doesn't have an arrow."

* Probably a cute-funny, but the scene in "The Northern Air Temple" where Katara is learning to fly on a glider is giggle-worthy.

** "[[Casual Danger Dialogue|As I was saying...]]"

* This line always gets me:

* In "Winter Solstice Part 1," Zuko comes across Iroh lounging in a hot tub, and angrily demands that his uncle hurry up and get ready for the pursuit. Iroh doesn't want to leave right away, but at Zuko's insistence, he stands up. Did we mention that the hot tub is only about thigh height?

** Also sets up a nice [[Chekhov's Gag]] after Zuko and Iroh have beaten down the earthbenders who'd captured the latter:

* The [[Noodle Incident]] where Sokka got two fishhooks stuck in his thumb.

'''Katara:''' He tried to get the first fishhook out with another fishhook. }}

* When Zhao starts up one of his [[Large Ham|hammiest]] moments in the series after capturing the Moon spirit:

* Zuko splashing hot tea on his face in "Bato of the Water Tribe."

** Same episode, the very end of it.

'''Iroh:''' ''Shhh...'' }}

** Which is then topped off by Jun's absolutely ''outraged'' [http://avatarthelastairbenderonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Iroh-enjoys-his-time-paralysed-next-to-June-300x200.png expression] (she's frozen in position directly on top of him). Being completely justified in doing so only makes it funnier.

** Iroh is a goldmine, in that same episode there's a momentary break in the epic fight scene to him testing out the nuns' perfumes, looking side to side suspiciously and then slipping it up his sleeve with a ^_^ expression.

* From ''The Blue Spirit,'' as Aang is chained up, the frozen frogs he has been gathering begin thawing and hopping away.

** Zhao coming to find Aang gone, and the lone, defrosting frog crawling away.

* Zhao's interrogation of the guards in "The Deserter".

'''Zhao''' "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR LOCAL CRIME RATES!" }}

** Aang's hilarious [[You Fight Like a Cow]] exchange with Zhao in the episode's climax.

* After Aang gets free and starts looking for his glider, he peeks into a couple rooms without much success. He opens the door on a third room to find Iroh, snoozing away. He quietly shuts the door, whispering "sorry..."

* This [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] moment when Aang is talking with [[Face Stealer|Koh.]]

'''Aang''': *epic poker face* "I must be going now." }}

** "''Yes!'' Yes it can!"

* This exchange from the end of "The Fortune Teller:"

'''Sokka:''' ''[[Death Glare|"I hate you!"]]'' }}

 

== Book 2 ==

* [[The Pollyanna]]: Iroh doesn't seem remotely worried even in the most life threatening situations, like in this fantastic monologue of his, while enjoying a massage...

** And all that Zuko is bothered about is that he's been banished for three years to the day.

* From "The Cave of Two Lovers":

** After a cave-in in the titular cave.

'''Sokka''': "NNNNAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" }}

** Meanwhile, in the B-plot.

'''Zuko:''' *beat* "Earth Kingdom it is." }}

** Iroh's absolutely causal and unconcerned about the fact that he's just poisoned himself and when the rashes reach his throat, [[Major Injury Underreaction|he will stop breathing.]] He's only cheerful about the fact that he's found the antidote, but then he thinks that it may be another species that causes blindless...

*** And look at the shock on Zuko's face...you can't tell if he's more worried about his uncle's condition or rendered speechless by Iroh's attitude.

** And we can't forget just before the White Jade plant's effects on Iroh is revealed, Zuko comes back from fishing with a -huge- spear, and nothing to show for it but the -tiniest- little fish wriggling on the end of it.

*** "If it was a choice between kissing you and dying...."

** ''"Don't let the falling rocks turn your smile into a frown!"''

** [[Face Palm|"Sokka, why's your forehead all red?"]] Heck, it's the page quote.

** The [[Gilligan Cut]] for when the group tries flying instead of using the secret cave tunnel.

*** We had this gem when the persuing Fire Nation soldiers refused to enter the cave. They apparently sing hippie love songs during music night.

** Sokka and the nomads charming the badger moles with music.

** After they get out of the tunnel:

'''Sokka''': Really? We let huge, ferocious beasts lead our way. }}

** Also, Zuko and Iroh at the Earth Kingdom hospital place thingy, where they meet Song and come up with their fake names.

''Zuko is furious and gives the Off with Your Head Gesture'' }}

** Nomad: Uh... I forgot the next line, but then it goes: SECRET TUNNEL!!!!! Secret Tunnel!!!

*** "Annnnnd...DIIIIIIEE."

** Chong figures out something very important.

'''Sokka:''' ([[Face Palm]]) }}

* From "The Blind Bandit":

'''Toph''': Whenever you're ready, The Pebble! *mischievous laugh* }}

** Made even more awesome because Boulder's voice actor, [[Mick Foley]], was hamming it up, channeling the spirit of [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]], and The Boulder's facial expression when Toph says he's scared.

** Toph using earthbending under one of the The Boulder's feet to split his legs and the Boulder's painful reaction. As well as when she uses earthbending again to send the Boulder slamming into the side of the stadium.

** How could we forget Sokka's line here?

'''Sokka:''' I think she is....GOING DOWN! }}

** When Sokka whispers "water tribe".

*** Just about every time Toph's blindness is [[Played for Laughs|played for laughs.]]

* In the season 2 episode, "The Chase":

'''Katara''': Well, it certainly tells the other warriors that you're fun and perky! }}

** Same episode. When given the choice between capturing the Avatar or attacking her brother, Azula's first move in the fight is to attack Zuko.

** During the fight, Azula almost falls down a gaping hole in a building, but regains her balance at the last second. Then Zuko ''rushes in'', screaming in a [[Hot-Blooded]] manner, ''right into the hole.'' Aang's "Ooo, that had to hurt!" expression watching this is priceless.

** Also: [[Cloudcuckoolander|"CLUMPS!! They're clumps!!"]].

*** And Sokka's forehead turning out to be immune to chi blocking. "Good try, but no."

**** [[Fridge Horror|Lucky him.]]

** And Toph and Iroh's little tea party. It was heartwarming and cute, but also the entire situation was pretty hilarious.

'''Toph''': You seem a little too old. }}

*** And Toph's completely cranky and tired expression, contrasting with Iroh's merry demeanor.

** "THIS IS MY CALM FACE!"

* Sokka pulling a bubble pipe out of [[Hammerspace]] and Katara asking "Where'd you get that?"

** Sokka's detective outfit that episode was [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]]. Not only the pipe, but a hat with a little set of magnifying glasses on a track around the brim! He's a freaking ''contextually-consistent'' Sherlock Holmes parody. And guess what? That hat is based on a real kind of [[Shown Their Work|Korean hat]]. There is a ''real'' hat that looks like that hat.

'''Katara:''' *looking ready to pull her hair loopies out* Community service! '''''Please''''' say community service!! }}

*** Then when the Fire Nation begins their attack on the town:

'''Old Man:''' *moves Wheel of Torture from "Boil in Oil" to "Community Service"* There! [[Brick Joke|It says community service!]] Now serve our community by ''saving us!'' }}

* "Boomerang! You DO always come back!"

* Sokka is stuck neck deep in a crack while a baby moose-lion looks on ([[It Makes Sense in Context|long story]]) and after making friends with it, it brings (the very hungry) Sokka an apple. Sokka struggles with his neck and hands and manages to toss his boomerang out next to the apple. What sells it is his reaction:

** "Haha, rock beats airbender!" from the same episode. Sokka looks like an overgrown caterpillar when he says it.

** The exchange that followed later on in this episode, where Sokka eventually grew so desperate for rescue that he was ready to renounce carnivorism. Nevertheless, he is rescued immediately after;

** Actually everything Sokka does and says is hilarious in that episode.

'''Sokka:''' Aang! Thank goodness! '''''Have you got any meat?''''' }}

* Book 2 episode "The Library". Professor Zei (Head of anthropology at Ba Sing Se University) had some of the best parts:

'''Professor Zei''': "You're both right. Handsome little creatures!" }}

** Very soon afterwards:

** Then shortly after that, there is a scene that has a phrase I find highly amusing:

'''Professor Zei''': "Shush, chatty monkey." }}

** '''Toph''': "There it is!"

''She waves her hand in front of her face to remind everyone that she's ''blind''.'' }}

*** Her facial expression upon doing so.

** Zei reaction to the (buried) library.

'''Professor Zei:''' ''(cheerfully pulls out a tiny trowel)'' Well. Time to start excavating. }}

** The best thing about Professor Zei is that he's voiced by [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Raphael Sbarge]], aka [[Knights of the Old Republic|Carth]], [[Republic Commando|Scorch]], or [[Mass Effect|Kaidan]]. Just hearing him is ''hilarious''.

** One of the best moments is when Aang says that Appa can stay with Toph while they go into the library. They both look at each other, then look away, and then look back, before Toph casually says "What's up?"

** One of the funniest lines is the nonchalant, sarcastic Owl-spirit who created and watches over the library talking to Sokka.

*** It says a lot about Hector Elizondo's deadpan delivery that even "You're not very bright are you?" sounds funny.

* [[Two Words]]: [[Lemon Wacky Hello|Cactus juice. "It's the quenchiest!"]]

** Pretty much the whole time Sokka is doing the [[Mushroom Samba]] [[Never Live It Down|is this]].

"How did we get here in the middle of the ocean?"<ref>Keep in mind they're in the middle of a desert.</ref> }}

** Not to mention his interactions with Momo, who has also sampled some of the cactus juice. "MOMO, [[Big No|NOOOO!!!]] YOU'VE KILLED US ALL!!!"

''(Momo promptly begins crying, as if in admittance)'' }}

*** And after Sokka's cactus juice starts to fade...

'''Sokka:''' I have a natural curiosity. }}

* Toph finally getting back on solid earth (sand doesn't count) and celebrating by making a snow angel ''in solid bedrock''.

* From ''The Serpent's Pass'', Sokka, while Katara delivers a baby.

** "So do you want to go see the baby, or are you gonna faint like an old lady again?"

** When the serpent appears in that episode, Sokka picks up Momo and holds him up and says, "Oh great and powerful Sea Serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank you."

* From "The Drill": [[Captain Obvious|"We lost."]] Oh Mai! Your comedic timing is impeccable!

* When they were on the train to Ba Sing Se:

'''Sokka''': I'm just saying! [[Weirdness Magnet|Weird things happen to us]]! }}

* Then there was when the Earth King held a party for his bear. The humor came in the fact that the characters were confused not by the bear getting a party but by the fact that it was JUST a bear and not some weird mix.

'''Toph''': This place is ''weird''. }}

** After Katara and Toph head out dolled up as noblewomen, apropos of nothing Momo walks across the screen wrapped in a curtain, complete with gong sound.

** Then there's the bowing fight that ends up with Aang and Sokka knocking heads.

** From the same episode:

(Bosco jumps on table and continues devouring.) }}

* The conversation between the sponsors, tea shop owner, and Iroh in the teashop, from the episode "Lake Laogai":

'''Zuko''': *deadpan* I'll try to contain my joy. }}

* "Tales of Ba Sing Se"

** "''That's right, I'm Sokka, it's pronounced with an okka, young ladies, I rock ya!''"

** Plus the fact that a poetry club even ''has'' a huge, muscular bouncer.

** Toph's absolutely magnificent bed hair.

** Iroh walks in on some kids who just broke a window. He recommends that they tell the truth. Then a giant man pokes his head out and starts making threats. [[Cool Old Guy|Iroh adds, "but not this time", then takes off like a bat out of hell with the kids.]]

** "Yes. I juggled."

* When Aang finally gets fed up with all the rules in Ba Sing Se, he lets their tour guide know it, then declares that they're done following the rules. Toph's reaction to this? "Yeah! Let's break some rules!" Followed by her using Earthbending to blow up a side of their apartment building for ''no reason''. (When they exit the building, they use the front door.)

* The Gaang makes their case against Long Feng by bringing in Appa, with Aang sliding into two shots in a row like Bugs Bunny to point out how Appa's teeth and the bite mark on Long Feng's leg are the same shape. The Earth King says that they seem to be telling the truth (cut to the Gaang cheering), but this doesn't mean the rest of their accusations are true (cut to the Gaang looking depressed), but he thinks it's worth investigating (cut to the Gaang giving "That's...okay, I guess" gestures).

* The Earth King's first line, which is a brilliant use of [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]:

'''Toph''': He has a good point. }}

* "What's a Guru? Some kinda poisonous blow fish?" ([[Don't Explain the Joke|This is funnier when you realize he got it confused with "Fugu"]].)

* This exchange from "The Guru", mostly due to Brian George's delivery:

'''Pathik''': "Ha ha, good one! Moving on." }}

* Following Toph's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when the [[Cute Bruiser]] leaves [[Those Two Bad Guys]] trapped in a metal box:

'''Xin Fu''': * slams head into wall in frustration* }}

* The Gaang coming back to save the Earth King's pet bear Bosco. Ty Lee is trying to teach it to walk on its hands. When Ty Lee falls into a bridge position, her hands and feet are suddenly encased in stones thanks to Toph's Earthbending. With Ty Lee out, they see the bear, then see Mai, who can't even be bothered to get up off of the steps she's sitting on. Her response? "...just ''take the bear.''"

* From "Bitter Work," we have this little gem by Iroh and Zuko.

'''Iroh:''' "No. She's crazy, and she needs to go down." }}

** Right before then, after Iroh drinks Zuko's....''poor'' imitation of his tea, he admits it is "bracing." Then Zuko gives him another cup, and the instant Zuko looks down at his own cup, Iroh chucks it out the window over his shoulder. A tiny moment but utterly hilarious.

* "''Poof...''"

* Aang getting hopped up on tea in the first episode. In normal benders, it increases their prowess, it increases their prowess tenfold, according to an Earth Kingdom general. [[Gilligan Cut]] to Aang Air Scootering circles around everyone present, all while asking whether or not it worked. He really can't tell right now. He then promptly smashes into a pillar.

* From "City of Walls and Secrets," when Iroh and Zuko get jobs at the tea shop:

'''Iroh''': How could a member of my own family say something so ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|horrible]]''? }}

* While "Appa's Lost Days" was 80% [[Tear Jerker]] and 19% [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], there's an absolutely ''hilarious'' moment when the leader of the sandbenders says they're going to sell Appa to "those beetle-headed merchants." That sounds like an insult about how stupid/gullible the merchants are...until they get to the merchants, whose hats, if you look closely, ''[[Visual Pun|are shaped like beetles.]]''

* "I know you're not supposed to cry over spilt tea, but... (sniffs) it's just so sad."

* When Aang and Sokka return to Ba Sing Se in "The Crossroads of Destiny"

'''Sokka and Aang''': ''(wincing)'' [[That's Gotta Hurt|Ooooooo...]] }}

* In 'The Serpent's Pass', Iroh is on the deck of the refugee ship, looking very solemn.

 

== Book 3 ==

* While Azula's [[Sanity Slippage]] was mainly horrifying, there ''was'' this line:

* "Load the Toph!" said by Toph during a ship-to-ship battle. Even funnier when you remember [[Meaningful Name|what her name is a homonym of.]]

* From "The Headband":

'''Sokka''': "Hey! We're in enemy territory, those are enemy birds." *small bird lands on his head and squawks* }}

** Half that episode is a CMoF, including this:

'''Katara''': Sapphire Fire, nice to meet you. }}

** Then later:

'''Wangfire!Sokka''': GO TO YOUR ROOM! }}

** Earlier, there's a ''golden'' moment when Aang talks about what he did in school.

'''Sokka''': Impressive, I admit. }}

** This moment:

'''Toph''': Ha, ha! }}

*** The noodle picture makes a reappearance in "Nightmares and Daydreams": Aang sticks it on a tree and turns it into a dummy Ozai. "(''flatly'') The Fire Lord's defenses are impeccable."

* Dock/Xu/Bushi from "The Painted Lady". At first, the appearance of Xu right after Dock is almost [[Hand Wave|handwaveable]] - then the fact that they're the same guy becomes pretty blatant, to the extent that you fully expect him to [[Ass Pull]] [[Refuge in Audacity|a third personality]]. What you DON'T expect is {{spoiler|for Aang to ''literally'' blow a fuse when it happens. There's even a puff of smoke!}}

** AIR BLADE. Swish, swish.

* A few bits of 'Sokka's Master' like the calligraphy and the painting, but also the bit where Sokka uses the rock garden to his advantage by... making himself a chair. And then Piandao goes along with it and asks his horrified butler to get him a drink, too.

** The best part about the landscape painting is Piandao's bemused, "You added a rainbow."

** Later, "Katara! You're a genius! A sweaty, stinky ''genius!''"

** And one ep before:

'''Sokka:''' As a matter of fact, they do not.<ref>made even funnier if you remember that Sokka was kidnapped by Heibai into the spirit world (book 1 ep. 7), and the first thing he said was [[Call Back|he needed to seriously use the bathroom.]]</ref> }}

** Aang's call back to Sokka's name for Combustion Man before he got his actual nickname.

** Also from "The Runaway", Toph's blindness is played for laughs even more then usual.

'''Toph:''' ''(seriously irritated)'' I don't know! I mean, seriously, what's with you people?! I'm ''blind''! }}

*** And minutes later after that, Aang an Sokka try to patch things up between Toph and Katara by giving Katara a fake apology letter.

'''Sokka:''' I think we're gonna run into a similar problem. }}

* Every moment of Azula trying to fit in socially in "The Beach", particularly her attempts to get a guy to like her.

** When she was invited to a party

'''Azula:''' We are the perfect party guests. We arrive right on time, because we are very punctual. }}

** And this gem:

** Followed shortly by Azula and friends destroying and burning down Chan's house as payback for the various problems they had at the party. Who knew raging sociopathy could be so amusing?

** And Azula denying having a [[Freudian Excuse]] for her actions:

** Though the Azula scene crossed over into a bit of a [[Tear Jerker]] thanks to her story.

** Actually, just that whole episode. Zuko's flashbacks were quite touching, but they lose some impact when they're in the same episode as the dramatic shirt-toss with [[Disturbed Doves]]. Or Zuko almost throwing up thanks to Lo and Li. Or the [[Serious Business]] volleyball game. Or Mai being... Mai.

** Zuko and Mai's fizzling relationship in the first half of the episode was pretty hilarious. The two were both so bored and deadpan.

'''Mai''': ...Thanks. That was really... refreshing. }}

* Aang's [[Mushroom Samba|sleep-deprivation hallucinations]] and [[Sanity Slippage]] in "Nightmares and Daydreams". Specifically, the ''Yojimbo''-style swordfight ''between [[Team Pet|Momo and Appa]]'' with cheering sheeps as spectators, snake rocks, and the 6 armed singing Guru Pathik playing a sitar.

'''Momo''': You, my friend, are just a few plums short of a fruit pie. }}

** In my personal opinion, in a moment that is shared with [[Awesome Moments|the Crowning Moments of Awesome]], Appa's voice when Aang is sleep deprived. I just find the part absolutely hilarious!!

** Pretty much the entirety of that episode.

** The very last dream.

'''Ozai''': What?! ''(looks down)'' [[Big No|NOOOOO!]] ''MY ROYAL PARTS ARE SHOWING!'' '''AAAAAAAAARGH!''''' }}

** When Aang is trying to delay sleeping by wishing everyone in the group good night, the camera pans out as it becomes an [[Overly Long Gag]]...before Toph yells at him to shut up, complete with a cartoonish speech bubble with her face ([[Don't Explain the Joke|so you know which one in the darkness is her]])

* Hue: "[[Ice Cream Koan|Pants are an illusion. And so is death.]]"

* During "The Eclipse" when the Gaang is looking for Ozai's chamber:

* "Hello! Zuko here!" And basically any other time Zuko shows off his dweebery after joining the group... "Silver Sandwich" speech, anyone?

** His impersonation of Azula afterward, because not only is it ''spot on'', the writers even gave Azula!Zuko [[Leitmotif|the same musical cue Azula gets]].

** The funniest thing was, the [[Ice Cream Koan]] made perfect sense in the context of Zuko's [[Character Development]].

** The frog!

* Aang apologizing to Zuko during their first firebending session:

'''Zuko:''' AND STOP CALLING ME THAT! }}

** And then Sokka walks in. "Hey, jerks! Mind if I watch you ''jerks'' do your ''jerkbending''?"

** Around facing the firebending masters...

** The Sun Warriors prank Aang and Zuko into thinking they'll never be allowed to leave after discovering the warriors' existence. "Just kidding! But seriously, DON'T TELL ANYONE!"

'''Zuko''': O_o; }}

** A bit earlier, Zuko realizes the Sun is the true source of firebending. "Do you guys realize this?" "Well, we're called the Sun Warriors, so yeah."

** [[Dude, Not Funny|Zuko's reaction]] to [[Acceptable Religious Targets|the others' reaction]] to his newly learned technique.

'''Zuko:''' [[Beat|...]][[Hypocrisy Nod|The Dancing Dragon]]. }}

** "Zuko! I think [[Durable Deathtrap|the past is trying to kill me]]!"

* Chit Sang's instant riot in "The Boiling Rock".

** This immediately following Hakoda's ''failed'' attempt to start a riot, after the prisoner Hakoda targeted turned out to be completely non-aggressive.

*** Doubly so because the same non-aggressive guy immediately gets into the action.

'''Zuko:''' ''[completely and utterly straight-faced]'' "That's rough, buddy." }}

*** What also makes it funny is how Zuko gives a quick look into the sky.

*** Of course that might be more like a tear jerker, since he's sympathizing with Sokka.

** One of Zuko's best lines:

'''Zuko:''' [[Emo Teen|I'm never]] [[Lampshade Hanging|happy]]. }}

** Chit Sang's super casual introduction to the Gaang, in the middle of Suki and Hakoda's emotional reunions. [[And Zoidberg|"I'm new. What's up, everybody?"]]

** "My dad doesn't have a nose ring!"

** Also, this:

'''Zuko''': ''[http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep54/ep54-310.png (dreamy face)]'' Yeah... }}

** The Warden singling Hakoda out for abuse, only to be stubbornly ignored. Once he ''does'' look the warden in the eye, Hakoda trips him up with his handcuffs.

** Chit-Sang, the [[Big Guy]] of the Boiling Rock episodes, pulls a great [[You Make Me Sic]] moment:

'''Chit-Sang''': I think you mean WHOM I'm shoving! }}

*** Even better, ''he's wrong''. "Who" is actually correct.

* While training to defeat the Fire Lord (using a dummy called the Melon Lord), after Sokka outlines the battle plan.

'''Toph''': Sweetness. }}

** "I am not Toph! [[Large Ham|I AM MELONLORD!]] * [[Evil Laugh]]* "

* Also from "The Boiling Rock":

'''Prisoner:''' Well, count me in too, or the warden hears about this... egg, too. }}

* Zuko's [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|"unfortunate"]] [[Ready for Lovemaking|timing]] for his talk with Sokka in "The Southern Raiders".

*** A lei? Wasn't he making a betrothal necklace? Not that that's [[Shotgun Wedding|any less suggestive]]. An honest woman, indeed.

*** It's a [[Visual Pun]]. A lei; a flower necklace. That boy got lei'd. He also took Suki's flowers.

**** More like ''she'' took ''his''.

'''Actor Katara:''' *sniff* It just gave me so much ''hope''! Ahhauu! }}

** "HONOR!" ''(drops through a trap door and "dies")''

*** "Look Zuko, it's your honor!" "WHERE?"

** [[Critical Research Failure]]: In the play, Zuko captures the Avatar, but then ''the Blue spirit enters, fights and defeats ...Zuko''. Take a look at the real Aang and Zuko's reactions.

*** Possibly a subversion too, since the actor playing Aang is a girl.

** "Avatar State! Yip yip!"

** Zuko and Aang's reactions to the way the play depicts their deaths.

*** Zuko's reaction to Jet's final scene.

'''Sokka:''' You know, it was really unclear. }}

*** In a similar vein, Zuko and Aang's reaction to the Blue Spirit rescue scene. And the critical research failure of the context. [[Captain Obvious|ummm, Zuko did not hold Aang prisoner at the time the Blue Spirit freed him...]]

** Choose treachery! It's more fuu-uun!

*** No Way!

** When "Toph" shows up....well, "she" is pretty much ''[[The Big Guy|exactly what Toph is.]]'' And the best part is that Toph ''is delighted''.

** When the Gaang gets to The Great Divide.

** The re-enactment of Azula striking Aang down with lightning, [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|only this time with ribbons and the same epic downer music.]]

* The show's [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] are always good for a laugh, but easily the funniest is an off-hand reference Aang makes during "The Old Masters" to "the spider-fly, caught in its own web!"

** Avatar Extras notes that the spider-fly is the most contradictory animal in the Avatar universe.

** Directly after Toph and Zuko's heartwarming moment.

'''Toph:''' That's how I show affection. }}

* From "The Phoenix King":

'''Zuko:''' Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka. }}

* Toph's insistence on going with Zuko to search for Aang because "everyone else got a magical, life-changing field trip with him!"

** Made even funnier by Zuko blushing as she hugs him.

* Another one from "The Phoenix King" is Toph's quick moment of in-universe shipping:

'''Katara:''' ...Um, no. }}

* Just about anything Bumi ever says is guaranteed to split at least one person's sides:

* During the four-part finale when Sokka {{spoiler|dumps an entire Fire Nation airship's crew into the ocean after luring them to the bomb bay under the guise of holding a birthday party for a crew member. Made even funnier by the ludicrous coincidence that ''it was actually someone's birthday.''}}

{{spoiler|'''Other Crew Member''': ''[after being dumped into the ocean]'' Happy birthday.}} }}

** Plus the awkward conversation between two people from different sections who've never met.

'''Crew Member''': I work in the engine room. ...That's probably why we never met before. }}

* Later during that scene, after Aang begins his battle with Ozai, Sokka has a few [[Mood Whiplash|shifts in his mood]]:

'''Sokka''': (''turns back to the others gleefully, making another chopping motion'') Airship slice!! }}

* During the midst of Azula's ultimate [[Villainous Breakdown|descent into insanity]], there's this bit with Azula talking to Li and Lo that almost counts as [[Mood Whiplash]]:

''(Lo shrugs)'' }}

* Mai and Ty Lee each get one in the finale, with oddly similar reactions.

** Next, Ty Lee has joined the Kyoshi warriors and talks about how they'll be best friends forever. She then wraps two of them in a headlock hug. The two just smile as wide as possible just like her. Oh no! Ty Lee has turned the Kyoshi warriors into the worset thing possible... Ty Lee CLONES!!!

*** [[Fridge Logic|One wonders why she did join an uniformed corps when she had issues because she used to be part of a matching set with her six sisters...]]

** Before, when he looks down into the rubble where Aang lay, in the midst of a grandiose and bombastic speech...which is cut off with a loud ''"gyack!"'' when Aang's hand shoots up and snatches Ozai by the goatee.

* Even though "The Puppetmaster" was, for the most part, utter [[Nightmare Fuel]], there's a couple of darkly funny moments. For example, when Katara says that Hama reminds her of Gran Gran, she holds up a head of cabbage ''that looks like Gran Gran's face.''

* Azula's whittling down of her subordinates by banishing them over the littlest issue. It's darkly funny in the same way Darth Vader ran through his admirals in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.

* This one moment in Sozin's coment where Sokka takes stupidity to a new level. When Toph points out Momo is gone as well.

** Even funnier is that he then gets into Appa's mouth and tries to convince the others about it. While everyone's discussing searching for Aang, in the background we see Sokka being spat out covered in saliva. He gets up wiping himself and then falls back into it again.

* When it's decided that the rest of the gaang will help Aang fight Ozai, a group hug is initiated...except for Zuko, who's never been into that stuff, even after joining the good guys. Katara calls Zuko over, and as he reluctantly does so, Appa decides that ''he'' wants to join the group hug too!

* "Bitter Work": "'Like A Rock' was a song by [[Bob Seger]]. It was in a lot of commercials. Aang doesn't watch commercials. He's kind of busy."

* Another good one is when the Gaang has found that all the information in the spirit library concerning the Fire Nation has long since been destroyed.

* "...But don't worry, Zuko won't [[Franz Kafka|turn into a bug]]."

* "Look at me! I'm Admiral Zhao!"

Earthbenders like to be covered in earth...Firebenders do not like to be covered in fire. }}

* From "The Cave of Two Lovers", right after Aang and Katara's kiss... or was it?:

* From Aang and Zuko's first fight in episode 2.

* After King Bumi welcomes the Gaang to "old people camp."

 

== Comics ==

* The chibi-style bonus story in The Lost Adventures, where under the guidance of Avatar Kyoshi, Aang and Azula pick out teams for a game of dodgeball. Azula gets last pick of Zuko or Mai. {{spoiler|She goes for Mai. Zuko angrily asks what he's supposed to do. Kyoshi's reply? "You're the ball!"}}

* Sokka's attempts at adjusting Earth King Kuei's pet bear Bosco to a life in the wild (also from The Lost Adventures), causing him more and more frustration with every attempt.

'''King Kuei''': Um, Bosco doesn't roar, but he's a lovely whistler. }}

* First CMOF of the interquel:

'''[[Distant Reaction Shot]]''': '''''OOGIE!''''' }}

* "You know what fireworks are like for me?" *Toph screams in Sokka's ear*

 

== Unsorted ==

* Toph's blind gags; either pretending she can see...

'''Sokka:''' Thank you, I worked really... why do you feel the need to do that? }}

** Especially funny given that she was on the other side of the room and couldn't have looked at it yet even if she could see.

** ...or people forgetting she can't:

'''Toph''': [[Disabled Snarker|Well it sounds like a sheet of paper but I guess you're referring to what's on the sheet of paper.]] }}

*** Later...

'''Toph''': ''I don't know!'' I mean, seriously, what's ''with'' you people?! ''I am BLIND!'' }}

** ...and again:

'''Toph''': ''No.'' }}

** ...OR, Toph herself forgetting her limitations:

[[[Beat]]] It's upside down, isn't it?... I'll just go with Sokka. }}

** ... or, simply, something happening that Toph can't see:

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjHVxq5-R9w&feature=related This scene is priceless.]

** And then:

'''Toph''': Let me know if they have something you can listen to! }}

** In "The Drill", after Toph pulls the Gaang underground we get this exchange:

'''Sokka''': ... Sorry. }}

** When Sokka and Aang are trying to get Toph and Katara to stop fighting, they send a make-up letter to Katara pretending it was from Toph.

'''Sokka''': I think we're gonna run into a similar problem. }}

* Any of the Foamy Mouth Guy's appearances.

** {{spoiler|"I did not see that coming."}}

* The final message of the ''Avatar Extras'' version of the series gives a nod to the [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] and a [[Take That]] to the Zutara ship as Aang and Katara share a kiss.

* The strange noise Momo makes whenever he eats and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js5V7mDe_TU now he does it when he performs!]

* Ozai's reaction to Suki's bad nickname for him was priceless.

* On the DVDs, watch the audio commentary to Day of Black Sun Part 1. You won't be able to keep yourself from laughing.

** A lot of the DVD commentaries are pretty funny. There was an oddly prophetic comment from the end of the commentary for "The Ember Island Players" concerning Sokka's last line and the movie.

* Any time Sokka tries to get Aang to man-up.

* "So, can I borrow Momo for a week?"

* Any [[Funny Background Moment]] with Sokka in all 3 books would qualify, which is where [[Butt Monkey|most accidents happen to him.]]
