"Asbestos I Can Do" (also known as "Previously on...") is a bonus feature from the Happy Tree Friends Season One TV Volume Three DVD. It is a parody of "previously on"/"next time on" segments in shows by showing montages prior to and then after an episode, with the gag being that sandwiched between the long montages is a comically short episode, as "Asbestos I Can Do" lasts for about 10-15 seconds, though originally it would be a proper episode[2]. On the official Mondo website, this short used to be listed under the Happy Tree Friends Break playlist during the Atom iteration, even though it does not have the Break intro.

We tried writing up an episode to be worthy of that mantle but sadly none ever materialized. When we were doing the DVD we thought we'd throw in a fun, little short that parodied what serious TV shows did during their opening with "Previously on..." then the teaser at the end with "Next Week on..." My idea was that the actual intro and outro was much longer and waaay more exciting than the actual show, thus 10-15 seconds of Lumpy knitting. It was just a silly thing for giggles.
