** Set [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-eWsMMJwZ4 the scene] to the right (wrong?) music for fun and profit.

*** As pointed out by a comment on that video, the original dialogue doesn't help things.

'''Zuko''': IT. CAN'T." }}

* In "The Siege of the North Part 1" Hahn gives us this gem.

** Judging by the leer and the tone of voice, he's not boasting about how many bouquets of flowers he's bought over the years.

** And then he proceeds to talk about Yue's "perks", which makes Sokka extremely angry.

** This same episode has the "fruit tart" [[Double Entendre]]. The first time it's mentioned, it's used to send the servants away...The second time Zuko is depressed and Mai suggests they order a fruit tart to cheer him up.

*** The second time she asked for a whole tray of fruit tarts, take that as you will.

* Also in "Nightmares and Daydreams," Aang's last dream sequence:

'''Ozai:''' [[Big No|NOOOOO!]] My royal parts are showing! }}

** In Aang's second nightmare, he wears chains around his body (to apparently keep his pants up). And the lock is covering his crotch-area.

*** Sokka also has a pretty obvious line of drool at the corner of his mouth as he watches Azula's chest fly by.

* There's also this little gem in "The Phoenix King." [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]:

'''Toph:''' I knew it! You ''did'' have a secret thing with Haru! }}

** For those not quite getting it, it seems Toph thought Katara was going to announce a [[Surprise Pregnancy]].

** And the fact that the drill keeps getting longer as it prepares to penetrate the wall? Yeah...

** And now that it's been brought up, this line paired with the images may make you realize, "oh my gosh, that ''was'' intentional."

** Why does a tunnel boring machine need to use wet slurry at all?

*** Cooling

** And this line about the outer shell girders of the drill:

** AND the fact that once it penetrates the wall, the water sludge backs up and squirts out, getting everywhere!

*** Including on Ty Lee ''and'' Azula!

** What about when Sokka tells Katara to block the slurry pipeline? His exact words are that it'll build up the pressure, and then "when Aang delivers the final blow, it'll be ready to pop!" That is ''SO''....''[[Brain Bleach|WRONG.]]''

** And right before the Drill explodes:

** ''AND'' the way it finally breaks down. There's an initial massive explosion of slurry at the wall end followed by several smaller ones, staggered in sequence all the way to the back. Nickelodeon, Freud would have been ''[[So Proud of You]].''

* Also in "The Drill" you only see Ty Lee's side of the battle. You never see what ''Mai'' does on ''her'' side of the drill. Also, none of the survivors are complaining about "knife wounds," only Ty Lee's paralysis attacks.

* And let's not forget that Sokka and Momo spend the better part of an episode ''[[Mushroom Samba|high on peyote]]''.

** And later, in "City of Walls and Secrets"

* The episode "The Southern Raiders" became (in)famous among the fandom for what is a ''truly epic'' instance of this trope. Zuko bumps into a very flustered Suki on the way to Sokka's tent, and she hurriedly excuses herself. He walks into Sokka's tent to ask him a question and finds him [[Ready for Lovemaking|pants-less and surrounded by flowers and candles]]. He even greets Zuko with a suggestive "Well helloooo..." before he realizes who it is. After a short talk, he rushes Zuko out and sticks his head out to call for Suki. And if there was any doubt, Sokka is shown the next morning fiddling with a flower necklace for no apparent reason... except to indicate [[Visual Pun|he got lei'd]].

** Or, if you are assuming that Suki gave him the flowers, you can also say that she was "de-flowered."

** And into the fountain too.

* The dance in "The Headband" could be regarded as [[G-Rated Sex]]. Starts out slow and measured... and winds up with Katara and Aang panting and sweating profusely.

'''Aang''': Don't worry about them. It's just you and me right now... }}

* Toph telling Aang not to "expose himself" in "The Beach." She was of course talking about his tattoos, but Aang replies, "What, I'm wearing a bathing suit."

* In ''The Fortune-teller'', Appa scares the [[Bowel-Breaking Bricks|egg]] out of a platypus-bear.

** Also in ''The Fortune-teller'', Aang comes in beaming after eavesdropping on Katara's fortune

'''Sokka:''' [[A Date with Rosie Palms|I don't even want to know.]] }}

* The series as a whole is able to dodge around the raw violence and death of a war by having a lot of offscreen destruction happening, but several scenes involve tanks being outright crushed or blown apart or hurled into water. Since they're tanks, the implied crew deaths can be glossed over. Later on, a few tanks develop crews that prove to be very good at bailing right before their vehicles are destroyed. There's also other scenes of offscreen death, such as when Hakoda leaps into a bunker, and what sounds suspiciously like a blade slicing through flesh can be heard, followed by explosions, or when grenades are tossed into bunkers and the crewmen are shown fleeing with the grenades going off right behind them. No bodies are shown, and the shot cuts away immediately after the explosion, but its pretty clear what happened.

*** As this troper's first post, I wanted to point out two cases where they didn't-In the Great Divide, the guide breaks both his arms after a nasty collision with a rockwall. Also, in the episode where they seek the Earth Kingdom escort, the general shows Aang a procession of wounded soldiers (with crutches, slings, body and head bandages), and states that they are "the lucky ones"

* Iroh [[You Need to Get Laid|advises Zuko to get a girlfriend at least twice.]] He also does this in the movie, in which case the linked implications are a little clearer, whereas in the cartoon it could possibly be explained as Iroh just looking out for Zuko's long-term happiness.

** There's one scene where Iroh says, "We want the place to look nice in case you bring home a lady friend!" followed by him elbowing Zuko and winking.

*** Although Iroh could have been referring to himself. For an old dude, the ladies are [[Chick Magnet|all over him]].

* During "The Headband," while she and Katara are sitting at the "bar" of Aang's improvised nightclub, Toph tosses back a shot of... [[Frothy Mugs of Water|something]] in one gulp. She's a 12-year-old [[Bottle Fairy]].

** Then again, Toph has been set up as [[The Ladette]] from the start. Notice her complete comfort and nonchalance at the [[Bad Guy Bar]] in the desert, where she kicks up her feet and sips from another large [[Frothy Mugs of Water|Frothy Bowl Of Water]].

* In ''Tales of Ba Sing Se'' Sokka is having a Haiku off with a leader of a poetry club which happens to be all girls. We get this exchange:

I'll paddle yours too! }}

** For any doubters out there, yes Sokka is literally [[Fetish Fuel|smacking his rear]] when he says this comment.

** It's a jab at the Fire Lord. "Wang" is Mandarin for "king," so Wang Fire = King Fire = Fire Lord.

* At the end of "Bato of the Water Tribe," Zuko, Iroh, and bounty hunter June are apparently left paralyzed by her shirshu, with June laying on top of Iroh.

'''Iroh''': Shhhh! }}

** And June looks pissed after that exchange.

* [[Freud Was Right|"I'd rather eat fireballs than nuts."]]

* When the Gaang are stripped down for river wading in "The Cave of Two Lovers," Katara's little sarong is riding VERY low. There's a shot from behind which could only be described as sensual. Need we mention that there's no plot reason for them to be in a river at all?

* In The Beach Azula outright calls Ty Lee a tease.

* [http://ded0c0.tumblr.com/post/24607777320/atla-annotated-li-and-lo-imperial-concubines Here's] a good Tumblr post. (tl;dr Li and Lo are ''concubines'').
