About

It's Time For You To Look Inward, also known as Uncle Iroh's Big Questions, is an exploitable image macro sourced from an episode of the animated TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender. The two-panel comic shows a character named Uncle Iroh speaking to Prince Zuko, saying, "It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the real questions," followed by a panel in which he delivers the punchline to the meme.
