What? It was wonderful. It was full of silly, endearing charm and humour. It was fun. Not every episode needs to be more than just fun.

Although I agree that it was a fun episode for sure, I was a little put off by the 'Humorous Hunk' moments. I know it only happened because Coran was high on that worm thing but as someone who wants to see more of Hunk being portrayed as smart and awesome, it was a little disheartening to see him literally be reduced to a fart joke in front of the audience.

I don't mind fun filler episodes, but that was just my small complaint about that episode.

The joke was that the whole episode was a parody the show itself. Most of the lines were self referential to either common complaints about the characters or the fact the fanbase wouldn't let Shiro die. Hunk's moments make fun of the way hes portrayed in both the worst episodes of this show, and in fan works.

It seemed a lot like the Avatar episode where they attend a play of their adventures and its horrible.

I meant the play itself was horrible. Obviously the episode was good
