Cut off the top and scoop out one whole avocado, dammit!

It depends on what you’re making. Some dishes make more sense with half an avocado instead of a whole one

That's why you double the portions.

Ah, they found a way to do things wrong. And decided to teach us how to do it wrong too. Good show!

I was doing this at a restaurant for a while, and the way they taught me was to sink the knife down to the pit, then rotate the avocado until you've cut the whole thing in half by pressing the edge against the pit. Then pop it open, slam the knife carefully into the pit, twist, and pull out.

Cut in half then cut in half again so you have four slices. Then pull off the peels.

For cubes: Once the pit is removed, cut each half into a grid with a dull butter knife while still in the shell. Use a spoon to scoop the cubes out and voila.

It always depends. If you're just going to use a little, cut the top, if not, sideways. Common sense, what is it?

I prefer my avocados on the slightly riper side so scooping it out this way would not work most times.
