Just about every joke in Avatar: The Last Airbender is peak comedy but conceptually my favorite moment is that scene in The Waterbending Scroll where Zuko’s crew was fighting some pirates and Aang was lost in the middle of a smoke cloud.
Now, Aang being an Airbender, the logical thing to do would be to blow the smoke away, which he does.
This would be funny enough in and of itself, but what really gets me is that Aang just nopes his way out of the situation by… Calling the smoke back?
Like on top of this being the literal only instance of an aerokinetic character blowing smoke away in reverse (not the same thing as kicking up a cloud of dust) just… everyone who was fighting just goes back to fighting each other like that didn’t just happen? Like they didn’t just see the Avatar- who they’re fighting over- is no longer tied up?
This five seconds of animation is just the most beautifully hilarious mess.
The original “upgrade” “oh shit go back”
What about
“You’re just a kid!”
“Well you’re just a teenager???”
Everything in Avatar was a masterpiece
My personal favorite: Anytime Aang sneezed he’s either fly 20 feet in the air and slowly float back down or completely ruin whatever was in front of him for the force of the blast XD
When that one village arrested him for something Kyoshi did and he’s getting relationship advice from the inmates and he just slips out of the stocks they put him in
I genuinely belive this is the funniest fucking thing we will ever get from reddit
I need you all to know that I think about 13 Latvias so much that now every time I meet someone from Latvia I have to resist the urge to ask “which one”
It’s always “eat the rich” until a billionaire and multiple millionaires get lost and likely die a horrible death because they paid $250k each to go pollute an underwater mass grave in a poorly made vessel that they all agreed to get bolted inside of and then its “have empathy because that’s a horrible way to die”
250k could change entire communities lives. Even a fifth of that could fix mine and my partner’s and maybe our neighbor’s life for years. If I can’t eat the rich myself, the sea doing it for me isn’t anything I’m mourning. I don’t have empathy for these people because you only get that rich by exploiting the lives of marginalized people. I can’t empathize with ever having that much money ever in my life. Not even 250k.
the billionaire’s stepson also did jail time for stalking and sending death threats to a bunch of women in the EDM scene and threatening to shoot up music festivals. also you might think that he’s like in his early 20s and behaving like a freak but you’d be wrong. the incel attempted mass shooter blink-182 stan is 37 years old. he is also attempting to pull off a late 2000s pop punk haircut. in 2023. at 37 years old.
It’s funny how Twilight Princess has a reputation for being the ‘edgy’ Zelda game when it’s so fucking silly and straight up campy at times. Like they really had the penultimate boss that the game had been building up to from the beginning be this dancing capering twink who falls off platforms and gets his head stuck in the dirt and whose preferred method of sword based combat is- “wave it around wildly and hope it hits something”.
The entire race of Hylians was created by a progenitor race of chicken sized chicken people in the canon of Twilight Princess. This is played completely straight.
The kingdom’s dungeons where prisoners are fucking executed, is operated by use of a man sized Beyblade that serves no purpose other than operating these mechanisms. This is never commented on. The final boss fight of this same dungeon is a literal rollercoaster ride where link uses the Beyblade to jump tracks and kill the enemy. Who is the manifestation of the resentment and power of the dead. Killed. By a twink riding a beyblade.
One of the main characters is a toddler with the cadence and vocabulary of a jaded thirty year old, who performs a hostile takeover of the city’s premier center of commerce, which he then transforms into a toddler-themed bazaar. This is also played completely straight.
Bigfoot is real and also a wife guy. There is no explanation as to where he fits in in the races created by the gods.
“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.
“It’s digestible”
“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:
The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.
Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated
I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.
but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!
Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.
Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food
And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes
This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.
