But it's more. It is a metaphor for Gosling to cast his wienie Ken self and reach for the Paprus and become fluent in ancient Egyptian. I am sure of this as I am doing the same thing and have been since I saw the first Avatar. I still cry when I think of those blue skinned goofballs.

[@SilverStormcloud]

Sadly, it's just a joke made for the sketch. Papyrus has no bold. You can make it "bold" in Word, which just outlines the letters in more black, but it doesn't look like the Avatar 2 logo. The bold and italic faces of fonts, especially professional fonts, are completely separate glyphs. Papyrus doesn't have a true-drawn bold face, and if you use other publishing software, you might not be able to set Papyrus in bold.
