Avatar SDCC "Forbidden Love" Joke Short

[ShadowWolfRising]

mmmmm, yes, their tears are delicious.

shippers are, by far the most bizarre people i have ever seen on the internet.

the fact they did this, JUST TO MOCK THEM, is...........something i see myself doing to people.

[iscream4scre4m]

Brb. Tearbending. Mike and Bryan just broke my Zutara-loving heart! :'(

[machineguncity]

Did they really make THAT?!!?!!??? O_o

[darbylucy]

Did anyone notice that there was no hint that Tokka wouldn't happen? Suki never even appeared in this spoof. So, I think Tokka is still a small possibility. :)

I <3 Kataang and Tokka! XD

[Meghancita512]

@darbylucy Agreed. (:

[darbylucy]

@Meghancita512 :) Glad someone thinks so. :D

[JRGomez81]

As an Avatar NoRomo I found this particularly gratifying...

[BriaMcKenzie]

Kataang fans thinks this is just a silly joke the Zutara fans deserve, but we all know that if the situation was switched half of you wouldn't find it so funny.

[kriitikko]

"Those of you who think that Zuko and Katara should be together will forever have doomed relationships". Wow, Sokka became the voice of reason here.

[hinatahyuuga10000]

HAHAHAHA zutara you failure. Im glad bryke did this xD

[simplenclean55]

Can't wait for them to do a Korra version once that's done airing.

Actually, I just can't wait for Korra. WHEN WILL 2012 GET HERE?

[Madcat221]

Tenzin disapproves of your portrayal of his mother as an adulterer.

[iluvdrakeandjosh]

lol too funny XD Bryke you guys are horrible. Killed tokka though. Dreams crushed :(

[Stinaisachibi]

it's a tad cruel to mock all the [people who drew that artwork since it's pretty...but i'd feel the same way for people constantly bashing on aang that katara and zuko belong together

[3Blue3Moon3]

That is awesome!!! It makes me want to write Zutara, and I don't even like that ship. It'd betotal crack though.

[RoyaleInliner]

omg Azula's voice is hilarious.

[BenignViewer]

Aah. This kills me. Everytime. Brilliant Mike and Bryan!

"All who think Zuko and Katara should be together have forever doomed relationships!"

"I never should have doubted the will of Mike and Bryan!"

And I will never again. XD

[sekretkp]

I really like Zutara but this is funny.

[theonewhowillprosper]

i hear the foaming mouth guy

[lushie]

Lets just say I'm glad I never got into any of the shipping in Avatar because... OUCH o_O

[GasSnake2003]

28 ships were sunk, and many more are just barely limping home to Cape Fanfiction for repairs... >=D

[Animefootlover]

doooorkey

[webcomix]

Oh man, my face muscles actually HURT from laughing.

[OHOHO1227]

Mike and Bryan are now gods.

[gC222SA]

@OHOHO1227 agreed

[Pensulliwen]

This is hilarious XD

[TheXtr3m3Madn3ss]

azula hurt me emotianally.....and physically...., xP

[what0080]

Forget Ship Sinking, this is Ship Colony Drop!

[Mr378]

Successful troll is successful YES!

[bubblelover343]

@oklahomabmxer Mike and Bryan are the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender

[GaladedridDamodred]

ZUTARA FOREVER

[BenignViewer]

@GaladedridDamodred You mad bro? XD

[ZanaBonanza]

Best thing ever

[ittybittypluto]

I don't care much about shipping either way, but yes, yes, yes.

I can't blame Byrke. In their place, I'd totally give the more rabid of my fans a ton of shit, too. Besides, I think as the creators, they're more likely to know who should end with who. Speaking their ships are canon by default. : P

[oklahomabmxer]

Who's mike and bryan

[NewChannelsFTL]

@oklahomabmxer

The creators of Avatar... ಠ_ಠ

(and, as a side note, two of the greatest professional trolls of all time)

[anonymous6705]

3. Since when have fans of those ships only watching the show for the romance? and who said some kataang fans don't do the same?

4. Who cares if they ship non-cannon pairings? Fans are still fans.

[anonymous6705]

@LBcrimson:

1. When did I say they were the ONLY people who made the show popular? But I guess you do have a point...Zuko/Katara shippers only make up about oh...half the fan-base?

2. By "Obsessive" do you mean "they had the gall to think those ships look cute"? What did they do? Boycott the show unless their ship happened? No. All they did was watch the show with a single opinion on a topic, and they get this.

[Superstarseven]

@anonymous6705 Zutara fans do not make half of the fanbase. That's a B.S. statistic.

By the way, there were a few that wanted to boycott the show and even wanted to disrupt this panel.

[kagato23]

@anonymous6705 Yes. But they took it seriously. Very very seriously. The people who are offended by this are those people, because they fail to realize it's a joke. At their expense? Yes. But in such a silly, non-serious way they should be laughing with everybody else save for their lack of humor.

They were trolled because they deserved it.

[BenignViewer]

@anonymous6705 Umm... DID YOU SEE THE FANART THEY ANIMATED? That was some of the milder stuff I've seen. They kinda had it coming. I'm not trashing the ship, but if you saw this & were offended by what Mike & Bryan did you have kinda missed the point behind it. I think, considering the number of people who have said that "Zutara was original canon, they changed it because of the young audience", Mike & Bryan have earned the right to make their opinion known against how others have 'qouted' them.

[EmpressRan]

LOL. They did not hold any trolling back.

I love those guys. sooo much.

'you can tell which pairing I approved of'

[EpoBot]

Already warming up for another round of shipping involving Korra and, without a doubt, the intire cast of her show. Including her pets.

[ilovecookies6]

ok i love zutara but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAH

[anonymous6705]

To all you who think Zuko and Katara should be together will forever have doomed relationships.

That's right Mike and Bryan, tell the people who made your show popular to basically go fuck themselves! :D

[LBcrimson]

@anonymous6705 Yeah because obssesive shipers whose ship NEVER stood a chance made the show popular rather than the good story telling intersting concepts beautiful arts,complex characters and interesting universe.

[Pooky1991]

TVtropesXD Someone call a doctor because im dying from laughter!

[sheld512]

next time on avater: legends of korra it's tenzin and korra possibly idk

[emo0rice0crispy]

Lol loved it but I was a little disturbed at the zuaang pic and well KATAANG FOREVER

[xXEpicLoVeXx]

Can anyone give me some background on this?

and omg, if this is actually Mike and Bryan's; if I didn't already love them enough - I DO NOW! :)

[coralin378]

MIKE AND BRYAN

I FREAKIN LOVE YOU GUYS! Don't ever change :P

[UpsidePickle]

There are now words to describe how hard I'm laughing right now.

[XxAlexEatsFoodxX]

xD lmao.

i never should've doubted the will of mike and bryan.

own Zutara fans.

[JediKnight941]

hahaha i love everyone freaking out thinking it was actually book 4, then the picture of aang and katara comes up then everyone is like "awwwwwwwwwwww...... =("

[wildste]

@JediKnight941 Part of me feels that is actually the best part of the whole video, people thinking they are getting a sneak preveiw of a new series and it is really just fanfic art

[944ms]

Zutara is awesome but this is awesome-er! Was this made by Mike and Bryan?( I probably sound stupid now that I realize it was sighed by them.)

[ohmandamp]

I wonder, during the course of making this short, whether Mike and Bryan came across some disturbing fanart.

[deadspacefanatic1]

...and physicaly XD LOLOLOLOL!!!

[Jayday12345678910]

WTF

[craziestanimefan]

Even as a Zutarian, this is hilarious. :)

[uyersuyer]

I can't hear jack shit. Everybody screaming ruined this video completely.

[sonicboom454]

If I ever create a game/tv show, I'm gonna do this to my fans

[Tymaporer]

"I never should have doubted the will of Mike and Bryan." XD

[HappySweeto]

I didn't hear Sokka's line or what Aang said at the end?

[Applebutter799]

@HappySweeto Sokka: To all you who think Zuko and Katara should be together will forever have doomed relationships.

Aang: Azula hurt me emotionally.... and physically.

[TheWriter]

Haha ok so I love Zuko and Katara but this was funny as hell, even if they only showed the black and white of what their relationship would be. Fighting and lots and lots of making out. The only thing that did bother me was Sokka's line, I thought that was a tad harsh. After all tones of great relationships are built from that building block. Take Buffy and Spike. But it's still all in good fun, and Aang's lines were just hilarious so haha

"I'm still not clear on how to go about that but...."

[Cerberuswaltz]

I hate videos like these.... concerts, comi-cons, whatever.... there are always stupid fan-girls screaming ... you can never, ever hear a thing.

[Lindabvair]

It totally loks like starfire and robin @ 1:46

[lehst]

@Lindabvair OMG you are so right!

[evaXgirl]

i hate the kataang pairing, but that was absolutely hilarious.

[iandin123]

Mike and Bryan are such Jackasses to Zutara fans.

[Tanyableu]

@iandin123 well, as she said, it was the will of Mike & Bryan. Though I STILL believe there's a chance for Zutara to prevail!

[eddurd]

What, no Appaang?

[UnoServix]

wow

they sank your battleship

[rushapart]

BRYKE: MASTER TROLLS.

ahh how i miss these days

[KytallasFavourites]

lolwat

[MahouNekoShady]

I'm a Zutara fan and I LOL'ed at this SOO friggin hard xD

[ghostcakes]

All aboard the troller coaster!

[NeilSchmeil858]

dude i miss this show soo much cant wait for the movie

[Kamikazebutterfly]

I love every pairing in this show. Even the crazy ones that don't make sense! <3 But I do hold a special love for all the canon couples that did happen. 

[MarcusTrinnias]

Can't....stop...laughing.....t­he ship is going down...oh lawdy, so, bloody, brilliant!

[RockinIce19]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

[squeaky136]

funny lol

[Somewei]

I'm a Zutarian and I thought this was hilarious. I know a lot of people think Bryke were being mean, but I like it's funny.

Sure, it didn't happen in the show, but we Zutarians got something out it: a great, awesome, epic friendship between Zuko and Katara :D

I respect Mike and Bryan and I think it's great they're involved with their fans via the shipping. Shows they pay attention to us :))

Congrats, Kataangers! It was a fun fight! See y'all in the movies!

BTW, Zutara's still awesomesauce ;)

[raylani21qz]

I totally agree!! Bryke did give us the epicly awesome friendship between zutara. Also, everyone knows hardly anyone stays with the person they fell in love with at 12 or 14, so i believe one day they'll be together...behind the scenes off the nick network so we won't really be able to see it happening, lol.

Also a fellow zutarian who thought this was freakishly hilarious. Wish they would have used some of the better zutara art though. oh well. This was still awesome.

[Somewei]

@raylani21qz

Yeah, there was some ten times better Zutara fanart out there that could have been used :\

As weird as it sounds, I think I actually like Zutara better because it's fanon. Strange, I know.

[Plood]

I've seen most of these pictures on DA, even before they made this video. xD

I love how M&B respond to things like the shipping wars. Usually creators don't get involved in things like that.

[CoudiDaiz101]

DUDE, WHERE IS THIS FROM?!?!?! OMFG THAT WAS AWSOME!!! XD!!!!!!!!!!!! but srsly!!!!! what anime convintion/day was this from??? o.o

[gem322]

@CoudiDaiz101 SDCC = San Diego Comic Con

[ByakugunDorkyFilms]

Avatar the last airbender?

[danny060902]

@ByakugunDorkyFilms yep

[Tailwhip54]

0:42 GIVE SOME SUGAR BABY

[alejandragcb]

kat♥aang =)

[Timstuff]

You sunk my character ship! >:)

Kataang FTW

[Gurufox1]

Yes Mike and Bryan (the creators) created this short skit to address all the ships and such that the fans out there wanted to see on the big screen. I lol'd

[Badmannv1]

Those fucking nerds to stop laughing at every little thing. Anyway, who made this? Was it made by the creators?

[Superstarseven]

Well, the concept was. The art was made by various fanartists on DA.

[rexludorum]

Finally! A recording on this where someone knows how to keep a camera steady! Thanks for posting!

[discustingthrownup]

Does anybody kow, who did th epicture on 2:04? Or where to find it??

[Scallyk0n]

"I'm feeling like I hope you shut up soon."

XD

[RushAndRuleIt]

Couldn't they refilm this without the audience screaming every two seconds? It's hard to understand what's being said most of the time.

[Gamematrix]

i dont think they heard half of it them selfs

[starsan]

dude, I laughed so HARD at this!!!

And I know half the artist that did those images, I am, friends with them all on DA!!!!

[KiraDemonofAkatsuki]

This is still hilarious. XD

[kmwu10]

Love Zutara.

Still think this is hilarious.

[AlexWangombe]

o ha, i get it

[B3llatrixX]

Zutara is stupid <.<...

kataang is the shyt

[animeiswatiluv03]

yes! down with the ships!

[natsuboushi33]

X'DDD I agree, the audience was as hilarious as the video! It would've been so cool to be there personally.

[cambaprecoz]

Mike and Bryan are all like FUCK YOUR SHIPS!

[torutheangel]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Word of God... Or Gods, in this case, to sink your 'Ships. XD

[AlsoSprachOdin]

The funniest part was the audience.

[nightshade1124]

i thought it was Zuko saying, "I'm feeling like i hope you shut up soon"

[xyzyx93]

holy shit this is funy as hell

[onariona]

Haha, this was totally not as mean as I thought it would be and much funnier. I was about to go into a mini-rant of how Bryan and Mike should be much more diplomatic about the fans' ships and respect all of them, but this isn't really that bad. I think people were overrating its brutality. However, in all honesty, any amount of Zutara/Tokka ship sinking by Bryke is unnecessary and kind of cold - fans of those ships already know it didn't happen, so why add fuel to the...um...fire? xP

[Iffets500]

cool wär aber noch besser, wenn ich was verstehen könnte XD

[Revolos55]

That was hi-larious!

[cambaprecoz]

Up yours! Zutarians! Mike and Bryan HATE YOU!

[Kayelle1980]

Oh, hush you, why must you make something hateful out of something that was clearly made to be funny!

[cambaprecoz]

Exactly!

[Spinwheeling]

I'm feeling like I hope you shut up LOL

[jjqnario]

"azaang forever!" that cracked me up so hard.

[XAZORAT]

why are they shouting so mutch ?

[AppleEarring]

There were some good Zutara episodes but yes, it was mainly Kataang. This was hilarious. And personally throwbacks I had for Zutara died when I fell in love with Zuko and Mai. Great stuff. I can't wait for the movie. I wonder if the movie does a switch, lol. That would send off new fires... pun intended. I know sad. ;-)

[AppleEarring]

Kataang was cute though. Good ending of the series. The Sokka and Toph stuff is also funny. LOL, I mean he already had two girlfriends even though one was engaged. Oh, well, yeah, and Katara had Jet.

[AmaraEmme]

Actually, Sokka had Toph, Ty Lee, Suki and Yue,

and Katara had Jet, Aang, Haru, and Zuko.

Water tribe charm.

[AppleEarring]

LOL :-) Yeah. Total fan service, eh? Hee hee

[jjqnario]

It runs in the family, I guess. Each had FOUR. Dang.

[danny060902]

@AmaraEmme When did she have Zuko? O_o

[AmaraEmme]

@danny060902 Only since the moment they met<3 lol

[detty223]

@danny060902 katara had zuko for like the five seconds in the underground cavern in the earth kingdom when she almost cured zuko's scar with the sacred water from the northern water tribe, in a touching moment... which was totally shot down when aang came to the 'rescue' and zuko promptly betrayed them for azula.

sorry if i botched some of the names/details, it's been a while. but that's the core of the canon zutara start and end.

[ASHERUISE]

Deffffinately not child-safe. But canon. xD

[xXBoomChickaWahWahXx]

AHAHAHA! "I never should have doubted the powers of Mike and Brian" xD

[Thomsen999]

Aptly named `the most brutal ship tease in the history of the universe´

Now, they have atoned for the most sickly sweet ending ever seen on television.

[starflameburnsbright]

lol, man that was hilarious

[kidkash612]

WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[Rumpelteazerpink]

Ahaha amazing!

[firebender9002]

lol 100 times

[Meshakhad]

I've never seen a single episode of Avatar, and I thought this was funny.

[narutofan97]

i just started watching it, some of the characters i haven't even seen yet, and i too found this pretty funny. it would have been gold if not for the typical fangirls ability to NEVER SHUT UP.

[MrWolf316]

LOL.

Now I don't write fanfics on Avatar, but I was a Zuko/Katara shipper. however this was just perfect and hilariously done.

[strtthshw]

LMAO!!!

[RagingLampoon]

TOKKA!

[DushaMoon]

?wtf?

[RoronoaZoro8888]

What did Azula say? =)

[knightwing99]

mine has subtitles *points to the video response*

[RoronoaZoro8888]

thanks! =)

[TestedFaythe]

Dude are you that DAFT?? The point of the video was to tell all zutarians "Hey, we were never going to that ship anyways!!" It was supposed to be a nice way of saying "Up yours"

God thats why I hate Zutarians. They'll compliment ANYthing that has to do with zutara, even if it totally sux.

To prove my first point, "I never should have doubted the will of Mike and Bryan". Katara said that. QED you're smelly.

[jadenhotguy]

Toph is a hot sexy mama!

[Toshimi1043]

Ow. I think I've gone deaf.

[Sunzu49]

Lol, I saw 1:40 from deviantART.

[jackiejane123]

Oh, how the creators love to tease us. TOTALLY worth it.

[DuckyyQuack]

i admit being a zutara fan for a bit until the part where she threatened to kill zuko in season 3, but that was the funniest thing i've ever seen. hilarious.

[madlevi22]

that gives me the creeps...

[dog1010]

The funny part is that its harmless and all in fun. Not too serious and and too hardcore.

Plus the funny.

Ship meet nuke.

[KloeFrost]

Who did the last picture? It looks AMAZING.

Can anyone link me to them?

[Stormcat1]

Oh Bryke, you silly!

I wish all shipping wars were treated like this!

[dog1010]

Whose doing the voices? Aces!

[YuffieDon]

Mike as Aang

Bryan as Zuko

[geassmanleon]

this is some funny shit

[roxeysgirl]

kataang! this is too funny! haha!

[Arrowdodger]

Watching this, the idea of not finding this funny makes me wonder what show someone who hated this was watching. This is almost exactly the sort of thing done with the "Avatar Play" within the show.

[KatangHarmony]

wow.... XDLOL

[NaruhinaXSasusaku]

>:(

Hey,is this supposed to parody fanfiction?

[NaruhinaXSasusaku]

;__;

Such a cruel shiptease and boat sinker..A very large boat sinker,like a nuculear bomb.

[Otacon144]

They didn't just SINK the ship.

They dropped a +50 Nuke of Smiting on it.

Ouuuuuuch... :<

[Renji9031]

No, no, no. These guys, they took the ship, gave the people what they wanted, and then at the last second, instant transmission'd it straight to Alderaan, along with all the Zutara shippers in that room.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch...

[narggles13]

Haha gotta love Bryke. XD you Zutarians need to chill you don't see us Jetarians all angry I mean sure your ship is made fun of but remember ours was killed, literally.

Just relax and take it in good humor because remeber without Mike and Bryan you wouldn't even /be/ Zutarians.

[ogdman14]

this is priceless...

[nukethetunaxiii]

Ha, this might just be a tad representative of how certain fans take certain things about shows too seriously. Even the creators know how to laugh at their own work. This was full of LULZ.

[JFutaraK]

Is it just me or does anyone feel sad at the ending

'Thank you fanart through the years'

:(
