The Amazing World of Gumball

Then how the fuck can they afford going to school?!

Public school is usually free.

The Watterson family's level of finance isn't entirely consistent: sometimes they're shown to be stably middle-class, like in "The Gi" where Nicole found $1000 wasted on hobbies Gumball and Darwin tolerable enough to spend more money trying something else.

More often they're shown to be really strapped for cash. Not in debt, rather they take a lot of cost-cutting measures and still can't hold onto any savings both because Richard got scammed out of it right around when Gumball was born and from repair bills from constant shenanigans. They only have one TV, Darwin and Gumball had to share an 80s-style brick cellphone, most of their appliances are shoddy, all the food is off-brand, and some of their clothes came from a dump (or a sewage pit, in the case of Gumball's sweater)—although Gumball and Richard might be the only ones who know that last part.

On a different note, I got the first issue of the comic a few days ago. It's pretty good; it had Richard putting training wheel on the family car, Gumball telling Anais that she's too young to have a tragic backstory, Nicole running down a car, and Gumball riding Tina like a Yoshi.

THEY NOW HAVE A COMIC BOOK?!

This was announced back in March and I made a post about the writer and artist a little while ago. I should have probably edited the show's page to mentioned so. First issue (which came with a preview of the Steven Universe comic) came out last month, second came out a few days ago (I got a subscription, so mine is still in the mail).

The Wattersons' financial situation hasn't been a plot point for a while, either. "The Finale" put them in super-debt, but that wasn't quite the same thing. The last time I remember the fact that they're dirt poor being actually important was... er... which episode was it where Nicole accidentally brought home someone else's groceries, again?

That was in "The Treasure", which was the tenth of forty episodes last season. It's same episode where most of the details I mentioned above came from. Nothing has indicated it's improved either, but even that episode never implied the Wattersons were struggling for basic necessities, just that they never could never afford anything nice.

I can't remember. It's surprising they didn't do a story about them being put on foreclosure and losing the house to someone far worse, but this is a kid's show.

BTW, who else wants to see more of Sarah?

Thank you.

I want more of Sarah, but I'm not sure what more fan things they can mock through her.

They could do a sort of fanshipping power episode, where in order to make Gumball love her, she'll need to hook Penny up with someone else with her personality. then she goes overboard after Gumball rejects her.

Did not see that coming, with brown being a false principal.

Did the kids who voice Darwin and Gumball go through puberty? Or is new voice actors.

This new season is suppose to have new voice actors, what season are you on?

Lol Idk. I watch random episodes. Some episodes I watch they sound like normal kids than others they sound like teens. I remember watching the dvd then the finale back to back and it was really weird.

The finale was when the actors were gettin too old for the roles. Any episodes past season 1 or so are them getting older and deeper voices.

And now they're making a plot point out of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome. I love this show.

Turns out when a character is written out of a show they get sucked into a nightmarish void and spend the rest of their existence in suspended animation, forgotten by everyone. Wow.

This episode is so friggin psychedelic.

Oh my god Clippy!

And the Crazy Frog!?

Man,for being such an "amazing" world,it sure is freaky(and kinda creepy.). It made a person who wasn't that well known disappear and erase everyone's memories of her and then erased the memory of the people who went in to the part of it that takes away anything thats a mistake in it.

Boy how can anyone forget Molly? And even when she did an R34 comic with Nicole.

I don't think the show would know about a fan made porn comic.Also,why was Molly in this fan made porn comic.

IDK it was season 1 fandemonium, and some knucklehead though a cat screwing an underaged volcandon dino-girl would be sexy.

I get people seeing Nicole as attractive,but what makes Molly attractive?

I. DON'T. KNOW! Stop making me feel akward about the past!

"WHY IS THE PAST TRYING TO KILL ME!?"

The more I watch this show, the more I find Gumball living in a Hellish video game world of overkill. How can office work be that soul-shattering?

This episode does a lot to show how creepy Donut Cop's design can be when played with..
