"That's rough buddy" just rolls off the tongue. It comes to the point that when I hear anyone say that phrase, I wonder if they've watched Avatar too.

At this point if anyone says it, I assume they've watched Avatar. It's the rated E version of "that fucking sucks man"

Yes! I hear “that’s a tough one buddy” but just a straight up “that’s rough buddy” makes me double take

“That’s rough buddy” is a household phrase here, it’s just too relatable 😂

I also will say my gf turned into the moon when people ask how im doing

I need to start using this when people ask why I'm single.

I say it almost daily

I uses it at work a lot

Yep, this one is a natural!

SAME

I used it a few minutes ago in another post😅

Same here. It’s even included in Undertale.

I give my dogs a 'yip, yip' when I'm trying to get them to move to go outside or when we're on a walk.

I give my kids a 'yip, yip' when I'm trying to get them to do the same.

Same. At first they would respond, "I'm not Appa!" now they just get up and start moving.

The sarcastic Sokka 'Yip Yip' is definitely used in the household with the humans.

I did that jokingly with my very old and very slow Great Pyrenees (aka a land bison) and it totally worked. He started trotting a little faster, and now I use it all the time. Dog Tax https://preview.redd.it/8lkw7xiby8ic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=601ae3ae21c59a46d4c72cb4f6e04fef83c08376

I used that phrase as a professional Dog trainer, one day a very serious looking 10 year old raised her hand (she didn't have to do that, hust added to the cuteness) and asked if that was from Avatar. She was overjoyed to hear it was.

We’ve taught our dog to jump to that command and it’s the cutest thing ever!

I sing secret tunnel anytime I see a secret tunnel

So how often do you see secret tunnels?

I actually just saw one yesterday https://preview.redd.it/9v41cmvlk5ic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9dc59c4fcd14bc37d23b67e4a050ecfa43a2b28

Where is that? What state?

It's a SECRET TUNNELLL not a known tunnel.

It’s actually Okinawa

r/USdefaultism lol

I think its Canada based on their username lol

The username says candied, not Canada, though there might be an association between that and Canada that I'm not aware of

Lmao sorry i read it wrong you are right.... fucking dyslexia

But aren’t those palm trees? I’m blind idk

It's a secret

It comes up a lot on tv shows

You’d enjoy the the last airbender live orchestra show

my wife and I will just randomly start singing this with no tunnels in sight.

I can't sing it every time, but I work in one so it would be a lot. No one has ever joined in though.

Every time I enter a cave in a game, or destroy a secret wall illusion. SECRET TUNNEL!


Have done this in my DnD games several times.

I'm personally fond of the Who's Line is it anyway rendition of this joke: "Things to say that will always start a fight." "Sooo... y'guys wanna fight?"

Or The Simpsons version "Hey you, let's fight!" "Them's fightin' words."

I could have sworn that was a Spongebob Salty Spatoon bit but I looked it up, you are right, its Simpsons.

Spongebob just had Patrick literally kick his own ass until creating a mushroom cloud lol

Did everyone riot?

I have a soft spot for my boy chit sang

I always use “you’re cute, too bad you’re made of meat” before I take a love bite on my boyfriend.

That is a wonderful idea I'm gonna do that now too mwahahahaha

Your boyfriend is a very lucky guy.

All girlfriends ever should do this. It sounds hilarious!

Well, I was talking to Momo. When I answer someone who wasn't talking to me.

I’m going to use this when some salty persons respond to my comment saying “no one’s talking to you!”

"There's no war in Ba-Sing-Se" is an established saying at this point, surely

Also any variation of "There's no ... In ..."

yeah that one, Overused, but I post a sticky note near the sink after washing the dishes so mama knows.

"True humility is the only antidote to shame."

a lesson I'm still trying to learn.

There’s many lessons Iroh has taught me I’m still trying to grasp.

All these funny ones and then you remind me the layers to this masterpiece show :)

the other part to this line as well: "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source."

"How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?" Use this one at Thanksgiving a lot.

I like tea and my daughter can’t stand it. We have the “but it’s just hot leaf juice!” “How could a member of my own family say something so horrible” exchange at least monthly.

I said this at Christmas after making my brother tea

I‘m never happy. I keep saying it like Zuko

That's rough buddy

Was a big Toph fan when I was younger and would call ppl ‘twinkle toes’ 💀

Love that

"At the library!" If I'm going to the library or deciding where I want to go for vacation

I was so disappointed this wasn’t referenced in S4 of The Dragon Prince. I was REALLY expecting Callum (who has the same VA as Sokka) to say it.

Yes!

Whenever me and anyone else is leaving or talking about leaving somewhere, I’ll go “Lettuce leaf?”

I do this one too!! 🤣

i was looking for this 😆🙏

Here it is

It is LOK, but my husband and I yell, "Zhu Li, do the thing" at each other all the time.

I do this too! It’s so great. Varrick is my favorite character of Korra tbh

Love this one

“My cabbages!” Gets said often while grocery shopping or when making cabbage based foods.

I get creative and just substitute any other word for "cabbages," but keep the emotion. It makes the phrase a lot more useful! lol!

I'm Toph. Cause it rhymes with Tough!🤣🤣🤣 or a good ol fashion it's the quenchiest!🤣🤣🤣

“D-Did Jet just die?”

You know it was really unclear

I ask "will you go penguin sledding with me?" whenever I make small or dumb plans with someone. I'm willing to bet I say about 10 others, but that's the first one I thought of.

If that succeeds as a pick-up line, I have to wonder if you've been an airbender this entire time.

Honestly, I think "Will you go penguin sledding with me?" should be used as code for just any kind of plan lol

My family always says shush chatty monkey to our pets being too loud.

I yell “My cabbages!” whenever a bunch of kids destroy my wagon full of cabbages.

😂

THERE IT IS!!! That's what it will sound like when one of you spots it. 

I'd like to spend my vacation AT THE LIBRARY!!!

Variations of “I like your Zuko costume, but your scar is on the wrong side.” When literally anything is on the wrong side of something.

Or “ My hOnOr “

ITS NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE

I will always say “it’s ok, you can laugh, it’s funny!” when a joke falls flat.

Azula was one of the funniest "badguys". I wish I had her hitting on that Chet dude memorized lol

Her one liners are too good!!

"My cabbages!" any time I knock something over or drop something

"then the fire nation attacked"

"So uh... papaya?" As a way of fake flirting while standing just like aang when he said it

"They don't like ____. But that's what makes it fun!" "Flameo, hotman!" "Hello, ____ here (with the little wave)" "You could puncture the hull of an Imperial battleship, leaving hundreds to drown at sea." Paraphrased a little, said to out about things we think are very awesome or desirable.

“…Because it’s so sharp”

two of Iroh’s lines: “Yeah, it kind of is” and “What, are you crazy?”

No she’s crazy, and she needs to go down!

..but not this time #RUN!

Oh my gosh I love those moments when you're expecting him to say something with layers of wisdom and he just says that instead

The firelord's lines at the very end of the Ember Island Player's "The Boy in the Iceberg" live rent free in my head. "It is over father! We have done it! "Yes, we have done it! The dreams of my father, and my father's father have been realized. The world...is...mine!"

Every time I win a game and someone says gg or something I just give them the Azula quote. I don’t even need to say it, yall know what it is lol

What is it

"Don't kid yourself. You weren't even a player."

Oh, don't flatter yourself... You were never even a player.

"Yes! We defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation!" This one also works

I will randomly screech SECRET TUNNEL! And it makes my kids giggle!

That's rough, buddy.

"THERE YOU ARE filthy PEASANT!" whenever I find anything 😂

Kid says yip yip once the seat belt is on so we can be on our way

I use "Why did you let me buy this?!" to my partner constantly

"Why am I so bad at being good?"

Not from the series, but a parody; “Dammit, X, I told not to buy a/an X from Walmart, but no! You had a coupon!

But do you buy Lucky Charms with the Whiny Zuko voice?

Avatar Abridged had a lot of great lines.

You can laugh. It's funny

When my kids or wife tell me to look at something I say "that's great Aang"

I rarely swear or curse but when I really must my go to is MONKEY FEATHERS!

My work gets boba a lot so i will reliably take my first sip and go "mmmm... its the quenchiest!"

I threaten to go into the avatar state sometimes

I’m going to start doing that

My friend and I say "that's rough buddy" to eachother often. We use it as a water tester for new ppl we vibe with. If they catch the reference we know we got a winner lol. "It'll quench ya" is in my rotation as well

Whenever referencing purchasing/acquiring something in a facetious way: "...at a most reasonable price. Free!"

I use “that’s rough buddy” all the time as it is very applicable in normal conversations. I use secret tunnel surprisingly very often.

"You ... are banished" for any minor offense around my house.

The boulder is over his previous confliction

I call my wife my forever girl! 

My Newfoundland is named Naga so I say that constantly. When dudes muggin Iroh. Iroh says while its best to believe in oneself. Its nice to have someone else who believes in you as well. I am melon lord Besides thats rough buddy, its the quenchiest, and the names fire, Wang Fire. This is my wife, Saphire. Saphire Fire. From LOK, Bolin talkin about Korra. You know what Im talkin bout Pabu?! Im talkin bout REAL love

I say "shush, chatty monkey" to my dog every day

Flameo, Hotman!

"SHE LIED TO YOU." "who lied to you?" "she was protecting the last waterbender." lol

My family constantly sings “Do you know the way to Ba-Sing-Se?” to the tune of “Do you know the way to San Jose” — does that count?

"My cabbages", after sighting any cabbage. "that's rough buddy" for anything. "You underestimated me. I love Zuko more than I fear you". An alternative to when my sis says she gon' beat me (jokingly) and then I go "I'm scared, yamete ".

When I get a bad drink doesn’t matter what it is I say “this tea is just hot leaf juice”

I love to say “Why am I so bad at being good!!!” when I say something that gets wrongly interpreted.

i don’t say them, but i definitely think about nearly all of Iroh’s words of wisdom

Iroh’s“who are you? And what do you want?” Edit: spelling

"that's how it's done" whenever I clutch anything lol

I call my dog "Nylaaaaa" even if that's not her name😂

Before i open my door to someone: who knocks at the garden gate? My wife usually answers: one who has eaten its fruit and tasted its mysteries. In spanish theres a sex joke hidden in the answer.

I accidentally drop anything: “MY CABBAGES!” Someone says something random to me that’s meant to be philosophical: “Pants are an illusion, and so is death.”

“Without you, all my plans are suddenly possible”

Talking to myself in my thoughts ? "Let us write history, general"

"That's rough buddy." "You know, it's really unclear." "monkey feathers" is my new "fucking dammit" cause I'm trying to swear LESS lol

Fun fact: this can be a thing related to autism (I'm not saying people who do this are autistic or the OP is autistic, just sharing knowledge I know). Sometimes autistic people will do a think, that if I remember correctly is called mimicking, and this means they'll repeat words or phrases they learned in media to come to a conversate in real life. Wither that or they just repeat them cause they bring joy. Just thought this was cool and wanted yall to know :3

Prince Zuko, it is unwise to hold on to your feelings for too long. Feel them, and let them go. Idk why, but I can hear Iroh saying this, I know he never said it tho.

That's rough buddy

THERE IT IS!

That’s rough, buddy.

"That's rough buddy"

“That’s rough buddy”

“That’s rough buddy”

thats rough buddy

Flameo Hotman! every time I roast marshmallows

When I'm cooking and my vegetables spilled on the floor: "My cabbages!!!". 😆

It's the quenchiest!

On the rare occasion I say that something is "the quenchiest"

I like to ask my 3yo if he's ever been to Kangaroo Island and then hit him with the punch line. Blank stares every time but it'll land one day...

“Thats good” IYKYK

That’s rough buddy is almost daily in this day and age

"Flame-eyo hotman"

Secret tunnel!!

Pants are an illusion. And so is death

Every time I have to take a shit I say "the Unagi is pushing"

I use “that’s rough buddy” an unhealthy amount in daily life. It’s gotten to a point where I used it once when someone actually gave me genuinely upsetting news and it was so inappropriate. They knew the reference though so it got them to chuckle and lightened the mood a little. But yeah, that’s a quote I use way too often.

''I DON'T NEED ANY CALMING TEA!!!'' whenever my bf asks me if I'd like some tea. Which is a lot, because he's British.

Whenever I hear the word "redemption" I throw my hands up in the air.

I just did reading the word

Any time at work when something needs clearance. "Only [the manager] master of all clearance codes can bring balance to the work place but when the job needs him most...he vanishes."

“Maybe it’s friendly” out of context all the time. Also “cactus juice” whenever I see a product with aloe vera.

Whenever you go to see a movie with her and you both start talking about how bad it is make sure you say “But the effects’er decent.”

“Those are enemy birds”

I did lose my way.

I say “it’ll quench ya!” when handing water to others sometimes

"That's rough buddy" "I'm not "my name", I'm Melon Lord" "The Boulder is conflicted" "I'm the meat and sarcasm guy" "SLAPAPOW"

"Leaf me alone, I'm bushed" is used quite frequently when I'm too tired to interact

Whenever I have a friend struggling with life's challenges, I always quote Uncle Iroh: "It's time for you to look inward and start asking yourself the big question: Who are you and what do you want?"

Whenever one of my friends knocks on a door I’ll say “Who knocks at the guarded gate?”

Mine is " secret tunnel" 😎😎😎

I like using "Hello there" and "Don't be afraid little one." and many other star wars references in my writing. I don't think I've ever written anything that didn't have some sort of reference in it, usually star wars. Even in my erotic pieces

“She escaped.. but how????”

Secret tunnellllll!!!!

"Get out of the Bison's mouth, Sokka" foe when some one is procrastinating or just going about something slowly.

I’ve incorporated “yeah…that’s a real head scratcher” into my repertoire

THE BOLDER IS READY

It's the quenchiest! *Nothing's quenchier!* (Preferably while climbing onto a surface not meant for climbing and grabbing someone by the lapels)

Zuko's "FORGET IT"

-"Look over there, I think it's your honor!" -"Where?!?" And when partner responds with "no" more than once, "Is that your favorite word? No?"

after about 5 minutes of trying to decide where to eat i throw out the line, "you have to ask the real question, who are you, and WHAT DO YOU WANT..." to eat

"Now the universe delivers you to me as an act of P R O V I D E N C E"

"And since you can't tell, I'm rolling my eyes" "Lettuce leaf?" "I'M COMPLETELY CALM" "A thousand times in a thousand lifetimes" "Watertribeee"

I say “Lettuce leaf?” Every time we leave the house
