10 Best Reoccurring Jokes In Avatar The Last Airbender

Sokka is an invaluable member of the group; he is the idea guy, the creative one, the funny one. He has always had a place among team Avatar which made him feel valued, and due to that the audience could take him seriously as a member of the group.

However, that doesn't mean that they can't still take jabs at him for his inability to bend any elements.

We see them tease him for this a lot, one of the best moments coming from Toph, calling the equality of a fight "three on three - plus Sokka" much to Sokka's dismay. Part of what makes the consistency of this joke so funny is how fragile Sokka's ego is, and how well the others manage to exploit it.

It goes to show how the dynamic of the group works, they are fine teasing each other, and this helps to make them feel more genuine as a group of friends.

It cannot be argued that were the roles reversed Sokka wouldn't tease the rest of the gang for their lack of abilities either, so the banter seems very much fair.
