I think I have a good idea for a game (and I want to give it a chance) that follows the same rules as "Dub the framegrab" but with a couple twists; you get a small piece of a script, and people can change the characters phrase to what they "really" say, add extra lines, and/or show what they're really thinking, all competing for the best changed script. You can also make the characters talk to different people in the show, if need be. Even yourself!
Writing in italics means the character is "thinking."
POST STRUCTURE:

Poster 1: Aang: Okay, listen guys. Harsh words won't solve problems, action will. Why don't you just switch jobs?
Katara: (concurrent with Sokka) Sounds good.
Sokka: (concurrent with Katara) Whatever.
Aang: You see that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a days work for the Avatar.

Poster 2: Aang: (laughs, and spreads his arms wide in a gesture of conciliation) Okay, listen guys. Harsh words won't solve problems, action will. Why don't you just switch jobs?
Katara: (concurrent with Sokka) Sounds good.
Sokka: (concurrent with Katara) Whatever.
(Note where poster 2 has written) Katara: Sleep with one eye open, brother...
----------------------------------------------

You don't have to change the whole thing. Here's another example.

Poster 3:

Aang: You see that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a days work for the Avatar.
(Poster 3 changed it to) Aang: This episode is going to suck.

More posters continue...

Poster 1 (who is the judge, and will judge when he/she's ready like in Dub the Framegrab): Poster 2 wins.

Poster 2 continues by adding another part of a script, so on, so forth.
Remember, same rules as "Dub the Framegrab," and you can take out any part of the script you don't need(that would be anything in parenthesis).

I'll start: (Fade to a shot of Appa's paw, with one of the gaps between his toes flossed with Sokka's leafy branchy. Cut to a wider shot of Appa floating on his back, Sokka hard at work on his toes. Appa grunts happily.)

Sokka: Yeh, don't get too happy. You gotta do me next.

(Cut to Katara and Aang on the river bank. As Katara begins to explain, she starts to waterbend the move she is describing.)

Katara: This is a pretty basic move, but it still took me months to perfect, so don't be frustrated if you don't get it right away. Just push and pull the water like this�

(She begins to bob gracefully back and forth, the water on the river edge moving back and forth with her.)

Katara: The key is getting the wrist movement right.
Aang (getting up and imitating Katara): Like this?
Katara: That's almost right, if you keep practicing, I'm sure eventually �
Aang: Hey, I'm bending it already!

(View pans left to show Aang moving around a respectably sized wave of water. Cut to a surprised Katara.)

Katara: Wow, I can't believe you got that so quickly. (Looking a little unhappy.) It took me two months to learn that move.
Aang: Well, you had to figure it out on your own. I'm lucky enough to have a great teacher.
Katara: Thanks.

Aang: Hey, I'm bending it already! thinking: she is totally digging me!

(View pans left to show Aang moving around a respectably sized wave of water. Cut to a surprised Katara.)

Katara: Wow, I can't believe you got that so quickly. (Looking a little unhappy.) It took me two months to learn that move. THINKING: oh kataang is so over!
Aang: Well, you had to figure it out on your own. I'm lucky enough to have a great teacher.
Katara: Thanks. (SUCK UP!!!!!)

Sokka: Nope, too late

You can either change what the characters are saying to mean what they "really" say, add lines of dialogue, or add what they're really thinking.

*shrugs* I'll give it a shot. I'll take the "what they're really thinking" approach.

Katara: Hey Aang, I'm totally gonna show off and do some awesome waterbending just to show you how much you SUCK.
(She begins to bob gracefully back and forth, the water on the river edge moving back and forth with her.)

Katara: I'm awesome.
Aang (getting up and imitating Katara): Katara, let the expert handle this.
Katara: Ha, n00b. You'll never be as good as me.
Aang: Hey, I'm bending it already!

(View pans left to show Aang moving around a respectably sized wave of water. Cut to a surprised Katara.)

Katara: You annoying little rat! How dare you steal my thunder?? This is one of my only waterbending scenes in the first half of season one!!
Aang: *innocent smile*
Katara: You ****ing prat.

Thanks, Spacerac

New script chunk:

Katara: Guys, I think these scams have gone far enough. If you keep doing them, something bad is gonna happen.
Toph: Could you for once stop being such a sourpuss and just lighten up‌
Katara: Oh, I'm sorry. You think I should be more like you‌ Like some wild child‌
Toph: Yeah, maybe. Maybe then, you'd see how great we have it. I mean, look at us. We're traveling around the world, making easy money, having fun, with no parents to tell us what to do.
Katara: Ah, I see. You're acting like this because of your parents.
Toph: (dismissively) Whatever.
Katara: They were controlling over you, so you ran away, and now you act like your parents don't exist. You act like you hate them, but you don't. You just feel guilty.
Toph: I do hate them!
Katara: I don't think so. I think you miss them. But you just don't want to deal with that, so instead, you act like this crazy person.
Toph: Look. I ran away to help Aang!
Katara: You know what‌ It doesn't matter. These scams put us all at risk, and we don't need that. We've already got some third-eyed freak after us.
Sokka: Speaking of that third-eyed freak???I think I've come up with a name for him. What do you think of???"Sparky-Sparky Boom Man"! (The gaang are unimpressed.) Just think about it.
Katara: We have enough money. You need to stop this!
Toph: I'll stop when I want to stop, and not when you tell me! Yup, a nice big chunk of dialogue for you to work with Enjoy!

Toph: I'm better than you!
Sokka: Why is it their argument seems so familiar?
Aang: Naive optimism?
Sokka: Sarcastic skepticism.

Katara: Guys, I think these scams have gone far enough. If you keep doing them, something bad is gonna happen.
Toph: You just HAD to say that, didn't you? You know foreshadowing like that means something bad IS going to happen now. What the hell did you say it for?
Katara: *folds her arms* Well, it serves you right
Toph: ....*earthbends Katara into the nearby cliff* And that serves YOU right.
Aang: Hey! Toph, what did you do that for?
Sokka: She's right. Katara did deserve a bit of earthbending there.
Aang: ....*earthbends Sokka into the cliff*
