A:TAS Commentary Episode 1

[Cardbattler]

He made his abridged series w/ windows movie maker

[GemGirlProductions]

Yeeaahhh. Best plan ever. Yeeaahhh. :)

[fanpire715]

we love the "yeaaah" too!!

[MrDreamblade]

I can actually see the real sokka being voiced by gangxingba

[RukiReloaded]

Whoa I love your voice it makes me feel happy

[kisalovesbubz]

When my friend and I went to see The Last Airbender in theatres, we quoted this series the whole time. Every time that kid who was supposed to be Haru came on screen we would say "He is NOT very very good looking." In your Haru voice. XD

[randomzchicka]

OMG! When i first listened to this I was like Sokka??? Wow! So, it was kind of weird listening to this cause I kept thinking it was Sokka talking..

[GwEn075]

I AM MADE A POSTER about Katara screaming about PMSING

[TeenTitan911]

yeahhhh is like the best joke in the series beside"WHAT YOU TALKIN BOUT SOKKA?" so yeah f you put those in the series more offen i think it would have more comedic value.So thats just my opion on that so f anyone agrees wth me like the post because it would let people know how many other people think that joke is very amusng so

[mastergalladetech]

what about episode 12? awesome series btw its funny i also think that zuko is an awesome character

[ambugger]

@ganxiba

Please I loved it then they took it off!

[ambugger]

@meandjeremaih

Subscribe to ganxiba and all episodes will be on his page. It's a commentary so he's suppose to talk

[Konan2539]

stop being down on ur self. all the voices u make r smexy XP

[ryoluver15]

dude, you gotta give urself more credit. youre hilarious! don't keep saying 'this isn't good' and 'this could be so much better' cause YOU. ARE. FUNNY.

people wanna watch this and love your abridged vids. if it means anything, my advice is to go with your inner idiot in your head, cause he's awesome. :)

lol 'on the up-side, i got to yell tampon into a microphone' XD

[meandjeremiah]

Shut up I haven't saw episode one and u with your bla bla self

[lynch8man]

skepti- aw skepticism...

[felineshadow0221]

so Gan why did Lani lose the AI thingy in the reach lets play how is it going to play out now? btw ur the funniest on the reach lets plays

[zDallasCowboys008z]

I hate this episode the most, I actually can't stand this episode. However I LOVE the rest of them, just so hilarious, I love Zuko's little whiny voice, it's so perfect. I think this episode just tried too hard to be funny at parts..... that's why I didn't like it.

[Neridah12]

I don't know what you're talking about, I think this is the BEST episode! It's so funny and all the jokes go on for appropriate amounts of time. My friends and I make "yeahhh" references all the time. =)

[IvvyMcEmerald]

Yip yip is over. Keep saying yeah. I love hearing it.

[fanpire715]

you should post these on the website

[MangaArtist2010]

No need to ask about the trap rap I have it right here --->/ watch?v=Q8iINpY5uWc

[Miyanoai14]

The optimism and skeptism bit was great though! My friends and I STILL use that reference a lot!

[BunsterByne]

"I got to yell tampon into a microphone. Not that you really need an excuse to do that, but, well, I had one."

[istandcorrected60]

MARRY ME. you were also a great xingke on geass twist GanXingba ^^

[lilyruby13]

Are you my English teacher? Because you sound like him and you sound kinda like him...... Hmmmm..............

[sexylair69]

IT'S A TRAP IT'S A TRAP IT'S A TRAP

[sexylair69]

ultaime kung fu jesus ACTAVAITE

[fanpire715]

we still love the "yeah"

[KatangHarmony]

your laugh is fantastic.

[clansullivan58]

Blinded by the LIGHT!!

[saturn14]

you had me at, iceberg pinata and the optimism bit.

[feshelll]

dam

[Leila555]

Dood, you have to do the "Yeah" again. It's awesome.

[Leila555]

You're hilarious. High five, bro.

[PrincessCallie35]

:) :) :) I kinda agree with you about the tampon joke...but I love the "Sexy McSexist Pants" rant Katara goes on!

[delovelywolf]

k this is 1 of ur best... y r u complainin bout this????????

[fowad27]

It's great to find out you respect the asian heritage of the show... Major props for that.

[uglyeon456]

words words wrods lol

[ravenbb615]

heh, actually i didn't know that was from Karate Kid, but when I heard that for the first time, this is what i thought of. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!

[pimpHO87]

hey, I liked the PMS and the tampon joke, if it wasn't for those (and the wal-mart - coupon joke) I wouldn't have kept watching these videos!

KEEP DOING THE REST OF THE ABRIDGED SERIES!

[saveiantojones]

"On the up side, I got to yell 'tampon' into a microphone!"

And WHAT?! The iceberg pinata is a CLASSIC now! Don't worry- you weren't making a fool of yourself :D And 'Yeahh (insert whatever Aang's talking about here) Yeahh...' is awesome, too!

Avatar Abridged has always been awesome, and always will be awesome, and you BETTER not forget it :)

[lilkev3983]

where is episode 11!!!!!!!!!!

[themightysheepster]

:P GIMME MY CHOCOLATE! 

[themightysheepster]

NO FUCK YOU WHEN I SAY YOUR DEAD YOUR DEAD!!!!!

[VTPPGLVR]

Also, I feel like you properly conveyed Sokka's sheer awesomeness, and put an amazing twist on Iroh that makes me love him more. So, well done!

(And r u just on hiatus, or no more eps?)

[VTPPGLVR]

What?? I -3 the Wal-Mart & iceberg piñata jokes!! Especially Sokka's awkward rambling about chocolate cannibals. Dude. Embrace & exploit awkwardness!!!

I feel like the jokes really popped here more than recent eps. Maybe throw in at least 1 or 2 awkward things like u began with.

[nubiantigeress]

ok, you sound like an older version of sokka. are you on the remake project?

[elliottbrothers]

where did you get ihro's voice from 

[binarystar300]

idk who hbi2k is, but littlekuriboh (cardgamesftw) started doing episode commentaries in 2006. so you actually stole the idea from him

[SuxatLife07]

i want to marry you. period.

[Darthdesmondd]

So the optimism skepticism bit....yea i totally referenced that in my video ranting about the terrible movie. I believe the quote went like this "they didn't even have the whole optimism skepticism bit...which is not mine its from the abridged series who is by a guy whose username i can't pronounce"

[Dindelle]

The part with the iceberg pinata was sooooooo funny! lol! I loved how every character knew about it, and when Aang comes out, he's like, "How did I get into an iceberg pinata?" lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love all these vids!

[shikamaru412]

I think some more commentaries would do well to tide us over until the new episode?

[dietotaku]

i actually loved the optimism/skepticism joke, i reference it a lot. XD

[KatangHarmony]

"WORDS WORDS WORDS"

lol

[piro632]

are you gonna make more episodes?

[boxOhobo]

Your commentary is quite enjoyable.

[blakethesnake00]

*10 mins of quiet then..* wth?

[fanpire715]

"...because you suck!" zuko is the best character, but man the guy gets beat on alot

[TEDGIGGLECORN]

wat about #11??

[TDM195]

Could he maby do a comment special

[UkeUkeable]

Wait......do you work for the show?! Mike? Bryan? Aaron?!

[sokkacool]

you're really funny but i can't believe someone as cool as you would support the racebenders!

[GanXingba]

@sokkacool Things as contentious and complicated as the "racebending" issue are not a simple matter of being on one side or the other. Unfortunately, much of the fandom has taken an "Us vs. Them" approach that seems to have permanently sundered it.

No matter what side you're on, I'd encourage you not to follow suit and not treat those who disagree with you as the enemy. That's what I try to do.

[sokkacool]

@GanXingba it's kinda hard not to treat them like enemies when they're treating me like an enemy :( and this is completely random but are you gonna do another episode of your abridged series?

[GanXingba]

@sokkacool I understand that. I've lost my cool a few times with people who have acted unnecessarily aggressive towards me, but you've gotta stop the cycle at some point.

Speaking of some point, yes, I will eventually get to Episode 11. I've just been focusing on other things.

[sokkacool]

@GanXingba sweetness! and thank god someone else gets that its hard not to be mean to those people!

[GanXingba]

@sokkacool Erm, that's not quite what I meant. I just meant that if someone is treating you like an enemy, sometimes it's difficult to keep a level head.

With regards to the casting controversy, I think that there are plenty of people on BOTH sides that are acting too militant.

[sosha20]

@GanXingba EPISODE 11!!!! where is it!!!! at least give us a small little vid or something explaining.....and PLEASE make another commentary!

[ladybugseatppl]

dude i love your voice u should sing xD

[GUMMYBEAR1815]

weres ep 11????????

[RCrowlzor]

Man, I realize that half or more of the best comics out there are self depricating and all that, but you do totally kick ass, and so does this episode, all of them do. though please do keep working and give us a new episode!

[ThePurpleDragoness]

I love the optimism and skepticism bit! also I LOVE your voice!!!

[Charolotte7]

PS the person who said this is stupid; rawr! be afraid be very afraid!

[Charolotte7]

OMG OMG OMJG OMG I LOVE THIS CHANNEL... well i have some funny vids and i can figure out how to get them on... i'm computer challenged...

[animalcrueltyhater1]

i love avatar :)

[Pupdog911]

this is stupid

[Dragonsniper523]

And im a sceptic! scepticism, scepticism, scepticism!

[fanpire715]

more commentaris please

[tommytom2727]

piss off i love the commentariEs

[simpsonman956]

Your cutting yourself short buddy! I (and about 2 million other people) think your one of the funniest guys out there. Also, I personally love the "Frozen Pinata" bit.

[EL66K]

Pure, undilluted genius...

[superbob96]

Haha I think you beat up on yourself a little. I thought those episodes were great =) me and my friend said the "skepticism" and "optimism" thing all the time in real life. xD You do great work and it's nice to see things like this commentary and the "Aang Aint White" video. Keep it up!!

[JessieJay13]

OMG you are my FAVORITE person EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ps. you should totally bring the "yeah...yeah..." bit back in later episodes...i loved that!!)

[kjoana]

MEDIOKER FIRST EPISODE!?!?!?!?!?!?

dude the first episode is why im still onn the internets cuz u dont find epic shit like that evryday

[AndyVanMikan]

Everyone else already said this, but you're too hard on yourself. The reason the iceberg pinata joke worked was BECAUSE you kept on pushing it. It was worth a little bit of a laugh when you first used it, and it got funnier as it persisted.

[VickiScott2]

i think ur a little hard on ur self.

[ShadeCrenshaw]

XD You're way too hard on yourself.

I honestly thought the first episode was great, got me imidietly interested. The Tampon Part and Optimism Sceptisism are the best parts IMO....

That and Zuko's whining....what is he even saying? how do you scrip that? *insert whiny noise here* ?

[vp21ct]

O.M.G.

YOU ARE SOKKA!!!

You actually sound like Sokka. That explains entirely why you play him well.

[Toastisntsquare]

But I adore the first episode. Guess that shows my humor is.... yeah.

[Merei]

@Toastisntsquare I'm with you too. I liked the humor in it.

[RagoDN]

THE PRICE IS WRONG, BOB!

[Barbiecarcrusher]

i'v started yeah too. "lets go bye 20 packs of M&Ms yeah, greatest plan ever, yeah"

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

I don't think you overused the "yeah" joke. It's quite common in my group of friends now. "Let's go eat in Mr. Kaya's room! yeah, greatest plan ever, yeah!" XD If we haven't overkilled it yet, I don't think you have.

[danradcliffshot]

These are awsome!!! you HAVE to make more of these!!!! PLEASE!!

[MahouAi]

Your voice is awesome dude!

[IkaTheDragolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Razorglenn]

The optimism and skeptism bit is epic among fans. Or at least on tv tropes it is.

I love the Yeah on going joke. Yeah!

KUNG FU ACTION JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

[CebuLips9]

oh i mean ytmnd

[CebuLips9]

trap rap was by mikeypuff i think from ymntd

[LittleLiviX]

Oh yeah and in drama i kept shoutin to the new teacher "UNNECICARY TIME SKIIIIP-THIS PLAY NEEDS MORE TRANSITIONS"! lol its sooo much fun to freak new teachers out lol hez kwl tho :)

[LittleLiviX]

HAHa vids are amazing! we got my friend to download them all to her phone so we can watch them in buisness studies lol every1 thinks weyre nutters coz we sey it wen they do "GIMME YOURE SHOE LACES!!" and randomly start laffing! NIEVE OPTIMISM...? YAYY! lol lv it XD

[animalcrueltyhater1]

lol he got 2 yell tampon in the microphone

[Urthwyte80]

dude they completely obliterated the premise of dragon ball w/ that movie

[Sokkabeatsall821]

Don't worry, the YEAH! never gets old :)

[GodOfPlague]

Hbi2k does great work.

You Avatar series is getting better with each episode I'm starting to like it alot.\

Might actualy check out the official release. Or at least the movie

[GanXingba]

Watch the show, not the movie, man. I know it's not out yet, but I've got a DB: Evolution kinda feeling...

[GodOfPlague]

That reminds me while I'm on bed rest and have a nice supply of pain killers... I so need to send my sister out to get DB: Evolution for the weekend. :)

I'll definately check out the show.

(Gan ning is awesome. One of my favorite generals of WU.I picked Haung Zhong for my avatar.

[22srs22]

same here

[MeTheOneth]

Oh, please, god no... They can't do that to Avatar... they've already destroyed Dragon Ball, as you said... WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT FROM US!?!

[LadyKillerella]

You really could make a living reading out load

[Katfish4Life]

Don't feel bad LK ran In America to the ground within ten seconds, or maybe within the span of an episode. I mean jesus Bandit Keith said it so many times.

[hockeyplaya867]

Is the Price is wrong bob from happy gilmore cause he says something like that

[1aundulxaldin]

Look, I know you're beating the shit out of yourself for killing that "Yeah" joke, but then again, you've singe-handedly alienated every other possibly good joke (used conveniently by hbi2k), so I don't see why you can't use it again. I'm spilling my guts over here repeatedly listening to: "I Know what I'll do... I'll freeze myself in a block of Ice! Yeah... best plan everr... yeah..." Overuse can be overkill, but you've got the perfect running gag. Don't discard it.

[sillysock86]

in the real episode when katara is unknowingly is cracking the rock thing behinde her....she really did say SEXIST!!

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

You have excellent taste in music, my friend.

And I can kinda emphasize with you with the bad jokes. I made a short-lived abridged series that, bluntly put, sucked on ice due to the lack of good humor. The only difference is that yours improved pretty quickly, and mine is now in abridged hell ^_^

(Don't ask what show it was...though the show that I picked may have partially been the reason WHY my series sucked...)

[DemonicGhostwithin]

what show?

[supergub1]

Pokemon?

[anneres]

"THE PRICE IS WRONG, BOB!"

Lmao. xDDD

[OsamaBinLooney]

sry but i didnt get the karate kid reference until you mentioned it just now in here

now it's funny

lol <-----------see? i'm laughing

[KENDALKNIGHT120]

Ok uhh so Whats A:TAS Stand for i watched all epis but dont know what it means

[roguefilmz]

avatar: the abridged series

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

...It stands for "Avatar: The Abridged Series"...

[nate556]

"blinded by the light,

Reved up like a deuce, another roller in the night."

I want to thank you for gettin' that freakin' song stuck in my head.

[nate556]

You could do a lot worse than taking a page out of hbi2k's book, he's totally awesome.

I've never seen an abridged series who's first few episodes werent rocky. It seems, you(the guys making them), are still in the process of developing the characters in your heads, and finding the right voices for them, so, it's all good, no one is going to judge you too harshly if the first few episdes aren't gold.

BTW, good job on these, they are good. Keep up the good work!

[Poppyfrost994]

"It's just... trifecta of retarded." True... but it's funny!

And the whole "guy keeps dancing and people are saying no stop but he doesn't" reminds me a lot of my sister.

[marykateex3]

I think I love your voice :D

(and your videos, obviously.)

[RoldanIncorporated]

"I shit you not"

Best thing you ever said

[Juno476]

LOLLL

[wolfborn10]

:) Thanks so much!

[maylover21]

i think the first jokes were some of the best TAMPON TAMPON TAMPON TAMPON TAMPON ahhh classic

[bdudehp]

wat is going to happen when you finish the series

[armegeddis]

It'll be a LONG time until then. :3

[HigureHikaru]

The pessimism skepticism bit is my friends favorite part

[ghghghgh324]

Holy shit on a stick how do everyone's voice with yours

[avatar10varusha]

so funny ilove zuko and kataras voice so funny

[KTChamberlain]

"As a matter of fact, I did."

with the Karate Kid reference. Quote Tien from Episode 7 of DBZA

[armegeddis]

99.999% of people in existence will get it, so you don't have to brag.

[KTChamberlain]

i wasn't. I was making a joke based on the context of Ganxingba's in this with his line from DBZ Abridged.

[ATLAANBenderToph]

i hav a crush on ur voice man! keep it up ur the masta!!!

[ZukoKid]

ganxingba is one of the funniest people i have ever heard!

[MoMoMel908]

[sweetalker79]

The "yeah.... [something].... yeah" is Funny, you haven't killed it -- yet, anyway. Feel free to use it again. Y'know, in Episode 10. Or whatever. (hint hint)

[KBCShow3]

[abridgerexoidinare]

babble award goes to........GANXINGBA!!

hard to belive its not me... ^^

[xXmarthusXx]

your voice sounds like the real saka (I dont think that was spelt right)

[GanXingba]

It wouldn't be a very interesting commentary track if I just sat there and said nothing, now would it?

[XxToRNadiCacTiViTYxX]

Excellent retort my friend.

[EvanSol919]

We love your babbling!

[coterack]

I love zuko's wine:)))) I love you Zuko:)))))))

[Einnor829]

I don't think why you're getting flack for the PMS joke?

It's funny!

[jaytlan]

wtf pms joke

[Poppyfrost994]

Trifecta of retarded-ness!!!

[asret4455]

[sosha20]
