The Amazing World of Gumball Is NOT What I Thought It Was…

Fringemas Day 17. The Amazing World of Gumball is a quite interesting show that over the past couple years, I finally decided to give a full shot. Surprisngly, The Amazing World of Gumball wasn't what I was expecting!

Thanks so much for watching! What are your thoughts on The Amazing World of Gumball?

I cant imagine how expensive a show like this can be. That or the animators were just that good and well-rounded with all the animation styles it had.

The comedy style of _The Amazing World of Gumball_ feels like a modern Monty Python in terms of odd, surrealist nature with the mix of Chowder due to the meta humor.

The Amazing World of Gumball was one of those Cartoon Network shows that you could see the real effort and heart put into it. It's an example of what made CN so good at that time.

This show is very nostalgic to me, the art style is very unique and the humor is very meta, can’t wait for the movie to wrap the series up

I recently watched the first season to prepare for a video of my own and I strangely found myself enjoying it quite a bit. The very simplistic drawings against the real world backgrounds were jarring at first but it grew on me over time.

The Amazing World of Gumball is the perfect example of what I like to call "Leveled Absurdity". It's a show where it embraces the fact that it is crazy and wild without making it obnoxious or blatant. The world simply IS wild, and that's just part of the characters lives, and it runs so seamlessly. If the creators wanted, they could probably have kept Gumball going for years upon years, but I'm glad they didn't. It'll forever be a modern cartoon classic, no doubt.

Chowder followed a similar method, as did Flapjack, and both of these examples are just absolute gems of Cartoon history. It's always the wild shows that simply let themselves be wild that do the best, that'll never change.

Gumball has some heart warming moments, all the different animation styles is pretty unique, some good jokes, good life lessons and is just fun. This show definitely deserves a watch

I loved the mix of animation styles for each of the characters. Mixing 2D, 3D, Puppetry, Stop Motion, and whatever style Sussie is. This show is my favorite form of art on CN. 🎨

What started out as an average kid show with its first season turned into probably one of the best cartoons of all time in my opinion with its second season and onwards. The meta humor, the fourth wall breaking lore, the crazy art style mixing 2D, 3D stop motion and it looks better and better as it goes on season to season. It really is “Amazing”

The comedy of this show was really smart. It was either you get the joke or you don't either way we're moving on. Also Nicole and Richards relationship was so great. It wasn't perfect because no relationship is, but it was loving. My favorite episodes are usually when the whole family is involved running around.

This show has so many hilarious moments and heartfelt moments. Some of my favorites being The Game (Jumanji), The Shippening
(death note but fanfiction), the Lady, The Puppets
It's such a funny and great show

[rosemimic]

This is one of my all time favorite cartoons due to it's witty humor and art style.

Fun fact, for Elmore Mall they use photos from the Merry Hill shopping centre in the UK

Also fun fact, that's my local shopping centre

It's bizarre just how much they used, every single part of Elmore Mall is from Merry Hill, always makes watching episodes set there a whole lot more fun

[shirouamakusa]

No matter how many times I watch this show or how old I am when I do, it always puts a smile on my face

[RexTheWolf]

Gumball is such a gem. The whole show is a hilarious jab on reality.

[rimurutempest]

I love this show so much, it balances out adult humor with goofy kid humor, and there characters are such a delight to watch. Also, I love how the show keeps their consistency across episodes and even have over arching storylines.

[ajmalaika]

I LOVED THIS SHOW, that writing is soo funny and quick without giving you whiplash and the mix of all the mediums made it more fascinating to watch and wonder how they accomplished it

[concamon]

I was 7 years old when this show first aired....
I still watch it to this day.
It's practically the only childhood show that I've consistently been interested in over the entire run time. I STILL love this show and get completely unironic enjoyment from. I WILL be watching the movie and new upcoming series.

[randycollins]

Gumball is timeless. I watched it off and on growing up, and just about every time I did, I enjoyed it. And some parts even stuck. Like the "I'm on my way" song or the blowjob joke between Gumball and the hotdog guy. 😂 A true gem of cartoons
