    The Cave Of Two Lovers: HILARIOUS

    This is one of my favorite episodes in the series for the sole reason of it being hilarious.

    "We're nomads!" "Hey, I'm a nomad!" "Hey, so are we!"

    "...that gives us-10 hours!" "It doesn't work like that if they're all lit at the same time!!"

    And we can't forget the amazing Secret Tunnel song.

    There is also some great character development in this one as well. Kataang gets one of it's most prominent moments. We learn more about the world of Avatar; namely about the badger moles and Omashu.

    Avatar is a great show because it can be for all ages to enjoy. I am super glad that it is getting the attention it deserves years after its initial released.

    Very funny episode

    I love this series, and this one takes the humour to a new levels. Very very clever

    A Band of Travelling Hippies

    Oh god, although there's a lot to love in this funny episode I just have to say that the Hippies, especially their leader, are SO incredibly annoying! Very infuriating to be subjected constantly to their inane songs and stoner ramblings.

    I don't think this episode gets the credit ut deserve

    This episode is brilliantly directed. It may lack action scenes but the comedy and some emotional elements of it totally works out fine and reminds us how just cleverly this show has been made. The humor in this episode was probably one of the best among all the animated shows I have ever seen; The jokes are smartly written and they are not cheesy at all and also we get a chance to discover more about the dualities that a certain character is struggling with. All in all, this episode was so pleasant to watch.

    • Trivia
      Zuko tells the healer that Iroh's name is "Mushi," which causes Iroh to glare at him because "mushi" translates to "insect" - not a very manly name.
    • Goofs
      When Uncle Iroh and Zuko are fugitives they go to a house where a mother and her daughter live and they treat Zuko and Iroh with hospitality. At the end the mother is giving Iroh a basket of food, if you view it carefully when Iroh takes the basket, it is left floating in the air for a second.
    • Quotes

      Uncle Iroh: Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea?

      Prince Zuko: You didn't.

      Uncle Iroh: I did...

      [turns revealing his red, swollen face]

      Uncle Iroh: ...and it wasn't.

      Prince Zuko: Yah!

      Uncle Iroh: When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found!

      [holds up a branch of berries]

      Uncle Iroh: These are pakui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or makaola berries that cause blindness.

      Prince Zuko: We're not taking any more chances with these plants. We need to get help.

      Uncle Iroh: But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom and fugitives from the Fire Nation.

      Prince Zuko: If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed.

      Uncle Iroh: If the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula.

      Prince Zuko: [both share a glance] Earth Kingdom it is.
