Toph is probably one of the best disability representation in media. They don't revolve her entire personality around her disability and she becomes such an integral part of the team, that it's often forgotten she's blind just because of how capable and independent she is. Just another tick on the list on why Avatar is AWESOME
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 Its people like yourself who are not disabled but who think they are defending people who are by making something that isn't an issue, and issue, is why we can't have nice things these days. You don't know what is good or bad rep. You pretend to think you do so that you can defend a minority that no one, including said minority, asked you to do.
I used to do some work in a charity for blind people and some do have that kind of sense of humor. Like: -Hello, you look nice today. -well, thanwaitaminute...
Top is such a freaking legend, they don't gloss over her disability or treat her weird, she just IS. She's allowed to just be. Disabled people don't want to be patronised or treated like they're "going through so much". We just wanna BE.
she went from being around people who constantly reminded her that she's blind to being around people who needed to be constantly reminded that she's blind because they kept on forgetting
That's probably why avatar is "praised" for it's representation of disabled people. Toph? One of the strongest earthbenders in history and her disability forced her to create bending forms that didn't even exist(metalbending and vibration sensing). Teo created windgliders that were much more advanced. Minghua being one of the strongest waterbenders despite not even having arms, etc. They're never treated as inferior or helpless(i mean except for toph not being able to read).
@@zenzonerzz4789 Even Toph's inability to read isn't incompetence; Braille just doesn't exist in this universe. I wouldn't be surprised if it's been invented by Korra's time and Toph's proficient in it.
In fairness, she can function like she isn't blind so it makes sense that they'd keep forgetting since they don't run into a lot of scenarios where her lack of sight is an active hindrance or problem.
Before metal bending, she was pretty useless in metal. she’s also a supporting character. Earth bending has the most casting time out of all the powers too.
Its kinda cool and reassuring that the reason why a lot of these jokes land is because Toph IS so capable that the gang legit forgets she has a disability.
there's being cool despite having a disability. than there's being cool, because you have a disability. and there is the ultimate being cool and having a disability. the first is showing that you can still be fun and personable despite having a disability. the second is showing people that your disability helps you look at the world in a cool and interesting way, and having them enter a world they wouldn't have entered otherwise. the third is the best, showing that you are an intriguing person, whether or not you are disabled, you just happen to be.
fun fact: theres the writers had to rewrite things a few times because sometimes they would literally forget that toph was blind because she was so capable of doing everything all the time.
Idk, I feel like she clowned on everyone forgetting she was blind. She clowns on herself often as well. That's what made her funny. I don't think she clowned cuz no one else was blind.

Me and my sister got our mom to binge the entire series with us. Our mom loves toph, but every time they remind us she's blind, our mom would be so confused like "wait, since when is she blind? She doesn't act like she is." It made it so much more entertaining to watch.
@Mike Thompson well, it is hard to be blind in a world designed for people with the ability to see. Of course blind people can be smart as much as they can be dumb. No one here said otherwise
I think the best yet all around funniest part about Avatar when it came to Toph was the fact that you really did forget she was blind until it was pointed out. Or at least I did anyway. Though I guess that's what made it funnier, that fact that you totally forgot so when it was called out you were like "Ohh that's right" then started laughing
Exactly, lmao. Especially that one time when Sokka sent Katara a letter supposedly from Toph, and immediately she yells at him because Toph can't write. I was like "Ooooooooh right" XD
I guess thats what made it so funny, you could relate to the characters bc they forgot often as well, so the realization just made people laugh, I love this shows awareness and how they knew how to make people laugh so well.
yeah thats what some writers need to remember. you can have a character with something that sets them apart without shoving it down the audiences throats
Julia Tekle And? You think teens *_don't_* bone? She would of smashed him at some point, especially in a world where they have no parents and can wander around with elemental abilities. They're boning as much as the X-Men students.
0:40-0:48 Toph will forever be my favorite female character/bender from ATLA. The fact that she didn't see Bending(get it?) & had feelings for Sokka if only fate hadn't interrupted, is still a great & well-written lesson about moving on & one-sided love.
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for “Oh. Well. You can go ahead and let me drown, now.” It made my normally stoic and humourless brother spray coffee everywhere from laughing.
That moment when you realize that Toph was probably fearful of Aang for a bit at first because with his air bending he could remain unseen by her earth bending. But then she got over it real quick because Aang never stopped talking so she could actually always know where he is at Friken loudmouth
I think the air currents made by airbending would be especially obvious to Toph. Though not brought up in TLA, but in LOK we find that airbenders shave their heads to detect these air currents.
You missed the best part in the last one "It's upside down, isn't it." And the best part was the fact it was facing the wrong way, not upside down. Genius.
This is prime representation because the show doesn't tell you every 5 minutes that Toph is blind , it reminds us every 5 mins with these jokes that although Toph is blind Toph isn't any different than the rest of them. The shows these days are like a show with Toph and her parents who keep reminding us that Toph is special for no other reason than being blind.
Yeah, sometimes I really wish they made that a recurring thing, even just a couple more times. "You're fine, Sokka; I think your hair looks _so_ much better than Zuko's!" "REALLY?! YOU DO?! THANK Y-" **realizes** "Y'know, I _really_ wish you'd stop doing that..."
Toph: Let me know it they have something you can listen to. Jack: *on the biggest loud-speaker possible* DID YOU KNOW THAT AUDIBLE HAS OVER 15,000 BOOKS!
I love how both Katara and Sokka apologize for forgetting that she's blind, but she doesn't hold it against them; she understands that her situation is different, but doesn't make that everyone else's problem.
CidGuerreiro1234 but somethings just don't make any sense. for eg, she can't see but can feel everything on earth then how come she collided with sakka??
+Ian Kevin According to my fan theory, she and Zuko accidentally invented the concept of electrical currents like Benjamin Franklin with a kite after a sparing match with Toph's metal and Zuko's lightning. Therefore, it could be possible that audio books might be her invention... That and braille.

I like how the main joke isn’t that she’s blind, but it’s that people keep forgetting she’s blind. It’s poking fun at the people around her rather than poking fun at her.

Me and my sister got our mom to binge the entire series with us. Our mom loves toph, but every time they remind us she's blind, our mom would be so confused like "wait, since when is she blind? She doesn't act like she is." It made it so much more entertaining to watch.
Toph could easily be a stand-up comedian. 😂
She's so capable, everyone forgets she's blind.
@Mike Thompson well, it is hard to be blind in a world designed for people with the ability to see. Of course blind people can be smart as much as they can be dumb. No one here said otherwise
Tried to make a joke in 2019. That's illegal
@Mike Thompson Yeah, but can she earthbend?
Mike Thompson yes blind people *are* incapable they have a huge disability in life so yeah they are incapable to do a lot of things normal people do
@Mike Thompson dont go saying that in the internet, I restrained from making a joke myself, i just dont want to end in hell
I think the best yet all around funniest part about Avatar when it came to Toph was the fact that you really did forget she was blind until it was pointed out. Or at least I did anyway. Though I guess that's what made it funnier, that fact that you totally forgot so when it was called out you were like "Ohh that's right" then started laughing
Exactly, lmao. Especially that one time when Sokka sent Katara a letter supposedly from Toph, and immediately she yells at him because Toph can't write. I was like "Ooooooooh right" XD
I guess thats what made it so funny, you could relate to the characters bc they forgot often as well, so the realization just made people laugh, I love this shows awareness and how they knew how to make people laugh so well.
Real Super Sand "we could send one to Toph from Katara?"
"I think we may encounter the same problem..."
yeah thats what some writers need to remember. you can have a character with something that sets them apart without shoving it down the audiences throats
I always forget about Aang's age, he's like 112
"Seriously, they can have such a short-term memory at times!"
Sokka and Toph's banter always cracked me uppp. 1:16 was definitely one of the top 5 funniest scenes. 😂😂
Lol Suki's makeup is some hardcore waterproof stuff
+Daph Duck
Mage makeup is pretty damn good.
+Wai Asphalt You are absolutely nasty.
Julia Tekle And? You think teens *_don't_* bone? She would of smashed him at some point, especially in a world where they have no parents and can wander around with elemental abilities. They're boning as much as the X-Men students.
You're nasty.
+John Canary you're not wrong but neither is he. There was the episode where Zuko walked in on Sokka 'getting ready' and Suki awkwardly dipped out
Sassbending became a thing after Toph joined Team Avatar.
Saaaaassss. Katara learned some of that from Toph.
As did Melonbending.
Jorge Quiroz Exactly!
Toph is the Avatar of sass.
The Sasster master
Love the blind comedy as a disabled person. Def one of the best written disabled characters ever written in a show.
0:40-0:48 Toph will forever be my favorite female character/bender from ATLA. The fact that she didn't see Bending(get it?) & had feelings for Sokka if only fate hadn't interrupted, is still a great & well-written lesson about moving on & one-sided love.
This show was a 10/10 through its entire run.
Great divide.
Wasnt that bad.
Original FMA and ending movie was way better than Brotherhood. Fuq Brotherhood.
WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
Still a decent episode.
i forget that she’s blind like 90% of the time
What’s the other 10%?
@@DarrenN-lm5xq her seismic sense
I apreaciated the constant reminder in which she rarely looks at people (or faces) people she's talking to.
I swear army is everywhere 🤣
I think its cause atla doesn't make her disability her whole personality, like most shows
Peak lesbian chemistry 0:49
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for “Oh. Well. You can go ahead and let me drown, now.”
It made my normally stoic and humourless brother spray coffee everywhere from laughing.
I love how this show treated Toph’s blindness as a quirk rather than a disability that would slow her down under ordinary circumstances
Aka disability
it's not a quirk. it's a disability.
not sure if you 3 guys are braindead or just stupid..
She is that good at earth bending cause she is blind
Blindness forced her to be strong. Imagine if she suddenly gains eyesight, she'd be stronger than the avatar doing aerial stunts.
That moment when you realize that Toph was probably fearful of Aang for a bit at first because with his air bending he could remain unseen by her earth bending. But then she got over it real quick because Aang never stopped talking so she could actually always know where he is at
Friken loudmouth
+Nickolie-psn Newell "I'd recognize those little footsteps of yours everywhere twinkletoes."
I think the air currents made by airbending would be especially obvious to Toph. Though not brought up in TLA, but in LOK we find that airbenders shave their heads to detect these air currents.
yeah but toph lerned to "see" via vibration of the ground not by air movements
The fact everyone forgot she was blind because they treat her equally
12 years later and everyone still loves this show!!
Toph: "Let me know when they have something you can listen to"
Audible: "Say no more."
The future is now, blind girl.

You missed the best part in the last one
"It's upside down, isn't it."
And the best part was the fact it was facing the wrong way, not upside down. Genius.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was upside down AND facing the wrong way
Not to mention the long pause where nobody says anything, and then she just goes "...I'll just go with Sokka"
@@mathisntmybestsubject8440 beat me to it by a whole week
Toph is a genius
This is prime representation because the show doesn't tell you every 5 minutes that Toph is blind , it reminds us every 5 mins with these jokes that although Toph is blind Toph isn't any different than the rest of them. The shows these days are like a show with Toph and her parents who keep reminding us that Toph is special for no other reason than being blind.
Toph placed that poster perfectly on the wall with the right aggressiveness
fr
I’m starting to think Toph might be blind
me too!
What a coincedence, me too. There might be something at play here 🤔
What makes you think that?
@@redemption8608 I don’t know, just a hunch I guess
That's impossible
I love Toph her sarcasm and how real she is
Aurica Kosza She’s honestly my favorite character in the whole show.
And her hard-core confidence ❤
Honestly, unless your favorite character is either Iroh or Toph, I don't think you can call yourself a true Avatar fan.
Electro522 nah man my favorite characters are Hair Zuko, manly toph and hope Katara
This is my favorite part of the show
Best blind character in fiction since Daredevil.
If Toph got ahold of audiobooks and braille, she would be unstoppable.
"It looks just like him to me!"
"Thank you I worked really.. why do you feel the need to do that?"
Unicorn Banshee that always makes me laugh
I did it...I am the 1000th like! I feel POWER
Yeah, sometimes I really wish they made that a recurring thing, even just a couple more times.
"You're fine, Sokka; I think your hair looks _so_ much better than Zuko's!"
"REALLY?! YOU DO?! THANK Y-"
**realizes**
"Y'know, I _really_ wish you'd stop doing that..."
Omg I love Toph her sarcasm is so hilarious
There it is!
best at sarcasm after Chandler from Friends...
2 completely different shows and characters i know.
ClassicalTay Toph is my spirit animal.
Toph was a kind of comedian that we needed for our entertainment right now
Love how the creators made her such a badass character that they gave themselves free rein to just poke fun at her disability.
"That's a great idea! Let the blind girl steer the ship."
"I was talking to Suki."
"Oh..that makes sense."
Toph: Let me know it they have something you can listen to.
Jack: *on the biggest loud-speaker possible* DID YOU KNOW THAT AUDIBLE HAS OVER 15,000 BOOKS!
XD
Ah, Toph. If only you knew...
Too bad she can't read computer screens lul
@@someaccount2299 computer has narrator/screen reader
I like how Toph typically doesn't seem offended by any of this. She's just being sassy because it's fun and she knows she can.
Toph is just a stone cold, Earth bending, Rule breaking, Joke Making, Metal Molding, Wave Sensing...you just know Toph stand for Tough...🤣...
"It's so dark I can't see anything."
Toph: *"I missed the part where that's my problem."*
Miss the opportunity to say "I can't see the part where that's my problem."
@@bullymaguire9987 Not like that’d do anything, she can bend the dirt.
this joke is so joked to death so much
Toph: "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."
"See ya, chump"
"Why do you feel the need to do that?"
I love that line
Rightttt
1:32
Long live the empire
I love how both Katara and Sokka apologize for forgetting that she's blind, but she doesn't hold it against them; she understands that her situation is different, but doesn't make that everyone else's problem.
Toph is so OP everyone forgets one little thing, SHES BLIND!
You'd never expect an OP person to be blind
I just love these jokes with blindness. "Can't you watch where you... oh".
CidGuerreiro1234 but somethings just don't make any sense. for eg, she can't see but can feel everything on earth then how come she collided with sakka??
Goku Africa Because she can't feel anything while walking on sand, it's too unstable. She explains it in that same episode.
CidGuerreiro1234 ohh forgot that. Thanks for reminding,
Goku Africa No problem :)
the last clip LOL
Toph would love audio books.
+Ian Kevin According to my fan theory, she and Zuko accidentally invented the concept of electrical currents like Benjamin Franklin with a kite after a sparing match with Toph's metal and Zuko's lightning. Therefore, it could be possible that audio books might be her invention...
That and braille.
+Ian Kevin This comment was sponsored by Audible™
+MonguinAssassin Early "audio books" don't need electricity. Only a needle, a horn, a spinning platter and a handle.
bloody_albatross That's something that would be built around Korra's time though.
***** Yeah, but an electricity based system even more so.
I love how many of the jokes aren’t “Ha! Toph’s blind!” It’s Toph using her blindness to laugh at other people.
Yeah
You know, sometimes Toph looks and sounds CUTE and also a BADASS at the same time.
"You can go ahead and let me drown now."
One of the funniest lines in the show lol
Shane de Leon lol imagine that in the titanic
Alex Stockings lmao that's bogus idk why its so funny

"And backwards."
At least she noticed it was upside down too.
Haha just what I was thinking. Man this series is GOLD.

Damn i was 3 months late
I am losing my sight. I will crack jokes like this when it's gone. Good therapy
She's the most adorable character in this series i was crushed on her when I was 10 year old 🤗 and I still like her she's soo adorable 🤗
Toph predicted modern humor, you can't get made fun of if you make fun of yourself
Not really predicted
That would be called Australian but I forgive you.
Conan has been doing that for decades
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 The only funny thing about Australians is their government.
Not really modern.

Go rewatch it, I rewatch it at least once every year, it's just that good!
Kinfasu , I know, I love it too. I would love to rewatch it sometime soon. But I need time, you know.
If I could find it on hulu, Netflix or anything like that I'd watch it right here right now.

It like how toph makes blind jokes

She's a very active person, I can't really see her sitting down to listen to one lol, she might work out/beat people up while listening to one tho?
@@lordgvh5902 yeah, i thought about that too. Bold of people to assume you would even like to read if she wasn't blind in the first place 💀
@@kyulkyung4059 She probably would, though; so much information's been effectively off-limits to her because she can't read it herself, she needs some form of middleman between her and the book. She just happened to find the most talkative kids in the world to travel with.
