Gumball thread

The episode is a critique on tumblr callout culture. If it feels ‘cringey,’ that’s because it’s supposed to. It’s the difference between someone who’s just trying to help and a performative ally who only wants to feel self-righteous

Context:

Cactus girl (Carmen) is being smug about trying to get Gumball to be a better person (cause he’s self-centered and lazy) and Gumball tries to ‘beat her at her own game’ (hence the cheesy sjw parody) except she actually is just trying to be a nice person (there’s a reply in the notes on this post that says something along the lines of “it’s not that the points Gumball’s making are wrong, it’s that he’s using them just to win an argument instead of actually helping anyone” and that pretty much hits this scene on the head).

Gumball eventually hacks into Carmen’s permanent record and uncovers a video of her being expelled from her former school, and attempts to upload it to the internet (effectively pulling receipts on her). Darwin makes the argument that Carmen doesn’t deserve that (she’s obviously become a better person since then) and she’s just trying to help Gumball by giving him constructive criticism. Darwin also points out that it doesn’t matter that she’s smug about it, her behavior isn’t anywhere near bad enough to warrant a retaliation attempt.

Carmen is a legitimately nice person and the only reason Gumball is even trying to argue with her is because she’s raising the expectations placed upon him, and Gumball (being self-centered and lazy) doesn’t want people to expect more from him.

The episode ends with Gumball realizing that yeah, Carmen doesn’t deserve that (cause even though he’s self-centered and lazy he’s a good person at his core) and accidentally uploading an embarrassing video of himself:

>w-we're hip with the kids look at this manufactured controversery about sjws
what a shitty attempt to get any kind of discussion going about a mediocre show

>>95087024
I gotta say it's starting to anger me that even when Gumball is in the right in like 99% of all the episodes he still gets fucked over in the end somehow. I get it's a childs cartoon and that you're supposed to laugh and Gumball is supposed to be funny but when does he ever actually score a victory?

>literally copying one of the responses from the twitter responds to gumball video
low quality bait

>>95087306
He got a girlfriend.
They don't really act like a couple, but it's there.
I still believe that they gave Gumball a girlfriend so that it can be an excuse for all the stupid gay shit he does.

>>95086755
Did you copy and paste this from tumblr
It reads like that unironically, the thread is for Gumball, not sure why you'd decide to break it down otherwise

Anyone have the thread when the SJW episode aired?

Also it's pretty hilarious how hung up people get over this kids comedy cartoon kek

Will take webm requests

It was a shit episode that only redditors like because DUDE INTERNET LMAO. And no, Gumball was not "tumblr". It was the Carmen.

>literally posting tumblr posts
/co/ is fuckind dead

>>95087708
There's like four or five of those threads because people overreacted to a fucking joke.
Try searching the Desuarchive for them.

>>95087708
This. They had dabbing in an episode but nobody is complaining. Suddenly people are getting their shit in a bend because muh SJW controversy.

>>95088483
>anyone who doesn't like it is Tumblr
Nope, not him but fuck off with the side taking bullshit. People seem to be sick and tired of Gumball doing meme shit, and they've been doing it for about 2-3 years now. There is a fucking good boy points episode.

it's a kids cartoon and kids use 4chan/reddit now what did you expect

>>95087024
I'm not reading/listening to all that shit.

>>95088600
>what did you expect
Good moments/jokes instead of "LOOK AT THIS REFERENCE LOL".

>>95088654
Gumball always does this though. The formula for most episodes where they have a major topic is gumball getting wrapped up in the issue one way or another and then at the end getting fucked over one way or the other.

>>95088699
>Gumball always does this though
S1 and S2 say hi

>>95088600
And SJW memes are common.

>>95086523
Is it okay for me to dislike The Best for being a signifigantly worse version of The Saint and a key example of the show's decline in quality since around the second VA swap?

>>95089971
No. Fuck you It was way worse than The Saint

>those mountains of butthurt

>pyon pton reference from daisy

Hey uh this show has other episodes outside of le SJW scene
Lets discuss those

>>95089971
The Best is much worse than The Saint, but personally I think The Saint is pretty top tier Gumball and is hard to top. I don't think it's really fair to compare the two in that sense, but I personally thought The Best was quite a good episode either way.
It made me laugh, and was one of the better episodes from the last 4. Of course, that speaks more to the quality of the last 4, but shit after that hiatus I'm just happy with more Gumball. I'm even growing more accustomed to the new VA, despite kind of hating it at first.

I was a bit late to the party, just caught up with the episodes today and haven't really been browsing /co/ much recently. Thought people would laugh and move on, like most episodes but here's a bunch of shitflinging

>personally I think

Who wrote The Worst and what other episodes have they done?

Can we agree it was pretty bad lads? It felt like it was trying too hard to be funny, rehashed jokes that have been around forever, didn't do much for me at all

It was a mediocre episode, wasn't bad by any means, the only problem with it is that it triggered the fuck out of tumblr, and by extension, /co/mblr.

>>95093661
The Worst did? I thought that was The Best, or whichever one was with Carmen

Amidst the recent apeshit, imma request one: the Wolf of Wall Street reference from The Worst.

>the SJW
Is OP using a metaphor or
>its the actual episode title
The absolute state of western animation

>>95095396

It's actually called The Best.

>>95095396
I couldn't recall the name so just referred to the scene people are sperging over
People knew what I meant I'm sure

>>95093865
it'd just be another shitty gumball episode nobody would bother to make 5 threads about if that were the case

>>95096356
Those threads were made by the same shitposter

>watched season 1 and 2 of this and loved it
>watch first ep of season 3 and it's complete shit
I stopped there. Should I pick it up again? If so where should I start?

>>95096474
Just watch The Origins (S4) and ignore everything else

>>95096519

Don't listen to him, the series does get better season after season.

>>95096557
The series does get worse season after season. S5 is the worst season

>>95096620

And the OP is said to be a shitposter.

>>95096474
>Quitting a Series you "loved" because of 1 episode
Kek, something tells me you're not quite being honest here.

>>95096750
A lot of people did it back in S3 because the new voice actors.

>>95096683
>show is nothing but rehashes and references now
>"it does get better"

>>95096796

Seriously, you are not really a fan if it is over something that small.

>>95096796
Didn't a lot of people leave due to the art change as well?

>>95097047
Well it was not just the voice actor. S3 Gumball was a different Gumball.

>>95097113

How different?

>>95094852
people in youtube comments want to be bullies so bad.
