    Next Week the entire Avatar schedule is being screwed up to show "funny" Avatar episodes. Then when the original schedule picks back up, they'll skip "Bato of the Water Tribe".

    I'm not saying that I don't like this Smilebender Week thing, as stupid as it is. But some of the episodes don't even entirely focus on humour or jokes. They have "The Cave of Two Lovers" and "Bitter Work". Neither of which focused on humour (besides Sokka).

    Oh, I get you now
    But whole epi cannot be
    Funny, And here's why

    The plot must advance
    Serious things must happen
    So they can move on

    The haikus are cool and all; but I can hardly understand you. Of course episodes need humour, but some of these episodes, such as "Bitter Work" which will air in Smilebender Week, had very little humour. All on Sokka's behalf.

    Sorry about the sucky haikus, it early where I am and I am still rather addicted(to haikus). Is this humorous Avatar episodes week, some thing that was officially announced by Nick or did you just figure this out on your own based on the schedule?

    I've seen the commercials at least four times now. Its official.

    Okay then, that seems like a strange thing to do on Nick's part. Avatar is not that funny of a show to devote a whole week to humorous episodes. I think they are just trying to make an attempt to do something that is directly opposite of the "traditional" October programming of Halloween and scary-type shows.

    How can you skip Bato of the Water Tribe? God, that's only the second most bad*** episode in the entire run! What's next? They're gonna cut everything except for Appa from the next episode?

    Of course they can't. They couldn't even think of a better event than having random episodes with some comedy.

    I know! It's a terrible name! Especially since CoTL would fall under the "tonguebending" category.

    agreed...but it gets rather annoying only being able to see Avatar once a week, which they're hardly doing now. it's getting ridiculous

    I didn't know about Smilebender Week until now. It sounds a bit lame. Like plenty of you have said, Avatar doesn't really have all funny episodes. It's mixed with lots of things, which is what makes it so good.
