How Gumball MASTERED Wacky Humor

- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2022
- The Bus is a prime example of how Gumball MASTERED Wacky Humor. While a lesser talked about episode, The Bus revolves around "Rocky convinces the kids that they do not have to go to school. However, unbeknownst to the kids, some adults are trying to teach them about skipping school.".

This is why gumball has been my favourite show for the last 5 years
I was so into it show
that I was going to write a my own ending for the series
I decided not to do it
because benny made an Announcement that they were making a movie
so I’m holding on to it
Maybe I’ll make it one day
Because to tell ya the truth I was half way done with it
oh sure Gumball can kill!?
tsk I'm going to a bar
I knew it was all of the above but c
Gumball is different from other animated comedies. All other comedies try really hard to ground the situations in real life, denying the fact that it is a cartoon, gumball fully embraces that fact and makes being a cartoon an integral part of the overall plot.
No you're wrong!
@throwaway Tell me you can’t take an opinion without telling me you can’t take an opinion.
@throwaway Factually wrong or not it’s still an opinion
@throwaway When did I ever say that facts are opinions? If anything, you said that
@throwaway I said that it didn’t matter if he was factually wrong it was his opinion, and he was entitled to it. I never said that facts were opinions.
Gumball is the only show that was able to reference memes correctly lmao, very little shows captured Gen Z humour like Gumball did
@ayo HEAVY*
It's a good cartoon. Let's not align good comedy to ...gen z humor. 🤮
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme What other generation has this humor?
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme There really isn’t anything else to call it, both gen z and gumball have a wacky, and surreal sense of humor
I think that TTG animated also perfectly captured Gen Z humor
One of the things I love about Gumball is that they cram so many gags into 11 minutes that it doesn't feel like 11 minutes.
Like old simpsons episodes
yeah
I watched this show a *ton* when I was younger and only now realised, after being told by this video, that the episodes are only 11 minutes long.
i was confused how i had watched so many episodes n made me assume I was just super lazy but seeing how little time passed made me realize, “my god this show is just that good”
Gumball is absolutely incredible. It’s hilarious, heartwarming, and just a fun blast all around.
*was :(
@@Loofytoons *is
It still is absolutely incredible, even if it has ended.
@throwaway I mean it as like it ended so him saying it is like it's still around even though it's sadly not :(
So if someone says this show is incredible means it's probably still around and saying this show was amazing means like "oh it ended" and I agree this show is absolutely amazing and incredible :)
except for the occasional existential crises it shows briefly and then skips over.
You forgot my favorite line:
“Sorry it’s kind of hard to keep your eyes on the road when there’s a crucial plot twist happening in the back of the vehicle”
First time I heard that, I laughed for like a minute
When i first seen this episode air on tv i was CRACKING up soon as the police got involved 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when the police officer threw the briefcase and it hit the bus and then hit the other cop’s car i got to laughing so goddamn hard🤣💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@XxXxZzZzZman SAME LMAOOO
my favorite line is this is and this is Mr White
i can't get over the fact that Alan's dad in this episode almost perfectly resembles a balloon version of Walter White/Heisenberg
Oh my god I can't unsee it
I thought I was just tripping lol
It is exactly the drawing that the cousins did
@@theboybandana6372 oh shit you're right, like spot on
Lmao I was looking for this comment, can’t believe he didn’t say anything about it
It would have been really easy to make Richard a dumb father but he's such a lovable and surprisingly fleshed out character
im glad they didn’t water down his character like Patrick from spongebob.
@@sickandafraid true, I remember Patrick being kind of a lazy genius, you know someone who has great learning capacity but is too lazy to care about anything, but they turned him into a dumb vegetable and a douchebag.
bro can't get a job or else he alters his reality LOL
I’m just glad he’s into crossdressing and golden girls. If not he’s a deadbeat dad who eats things off the floor.
@Mak CK but loves his kids either way tho. Very cute especially that emotional ass song the hero. My daddy issues ass was balling at 9 pm on a school night that first watch lmao
gumball really had some jokes that were harder to understand when we where younger, thus it being an even better show to come back to.
Yeah
I will never get tired of that clip of Scott Steiner yelling "HE'S FAT". So easy to take out of context and still be hilarious.
I also like the SYMPY clip.
It has a 66 2/3 chance Of anyone knowing the Context
@@aperson5215
But then you take my 75% chance of knowing, and add it to my 66 2/3% chance, and you get a 141 2/3 perc- chance of everybody knowing the context!
@@Jason_Ultimate JASON ULTIMATE! THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOY!
I love how only a few people know Scott Steiner
Gumball became better when S2 came out starting it with "The Remote". I love the sarcasm, self reflection, the jabs at real society and current events, 4th wall breaking and more.
The Remote was an amazing episode. That episode cemented Anais as a super genius.
@@two4328 Not entirely since 3 are dumb and one is overworked and prideful.
@@10RexTheWolf01 True, but she is either 4 or 5, yet still is able to outsmart all of them.
@@two4328 4 and true
And the animations its like minecraft but with shaders
Gumball kinda molded my modern form of humor and comedy, it's a real inspiration with the several animation styles, topnotch voice acting and some third thing
Lol SpongeBob movie reference
I mean, the show in general influenced meme culture.
Another thing about Gumball thats really dope is the show doesnt preach to you either.
It makes fun of everything even the current events of that time
This show is legendary
Current events? I don't remember that episode where they made fun of current events.
What childrens’ shows preach to their audience?!
@@nicholasbourne The ones for preschoolers often do. Some Loud Houses episodes have morals at the end of the episode. The Dic version of Sonic was preachy. The original English dub of Sailor Moon had Sailor Says. 80's shows did that more often.
@@icecreamhero2375 gum ball isn’t really a show for preschoolers. I guess educational shows for kids can be a little preachy but how else are kids supposed to learn anything.. they’re *glued* to screens nowadays. Kids are getting stupider than ever so maybe some educational content or morals aren’t a bad thing
@@nicholasbourne Some shows like Full House have a moral at the end of most episodes. Not to say that there aren't plain silly ones same with Hey Arnold.
The smallest jokes and references make the show so good. Alan's dad, Dexter, is literally disguised as "Mr. White" this episode and does, indeed, look like Heisenberg.
Had no idea Alan's dad was called Dexter. So this was the moment Dexter became Heisenberg?
Gumball is an good example on how to make a good comedy cartoon for both kids and adults to enjoy.
And Teen Titans Go is a bad example ^^
Gumball is CN's funniest show of all time IMO.
Fair choice, I'm an Ed Edd n Eddy man myself
I'm a late 90's kid so it's Ed, Edd n Eddy for me, but Gumball is easily my second pick by a mile
I've rewatched every season 7 times and it only gets funnier i have to say that the amazing world of gumball is my absolute favorite
As a Gen Z teen who only really grew up with shows of the 2010s, I have to agree. Although I love my occasional nostalgia trip to the og CN shows, I have to admit Gumball stays within my top favourite shows.
chowder?
Gumball is like the updated, better version of Chowder. No shade, I love Chowder, but Gumball excels pass Chowder.
Really glad I'm not the only making that connection
Facts
As much as I love chowder that is true
I like chowder but the lack of continuity just made it boring to watch. Like I can watch chowder randomly and it won't make a difference
Also, the weirdness of characters in Gumball (Banana joe, susie, etc.) are pretty decent unlike the creepiness we got from Panini. What’s worst is that Panini got a W in the end
I love the fact that Alan's dad is dressed as Heisenberg
*Ahem* _Mr White_
Moral of the Episode: Don't try to teach people lessons, just let them learn it
My favorite thing about TAWOG is all the references they make to older media like the Golden Girls episode, the "clever girl" line from Jurrasic Park, the Gremlins movie, and the Silence of the Lambs in the turtle episode. It's just so damn good
This episode has both a Reservoir Dogs and a Breaking Bad reference too
and Zardoz of all things gets mentioned too.
I'm so glad you haven't forgotten about The Amazing World of Gumball, it really seemed like everyone had forgotten about it just because the show ended
Isn't a movie coming up?
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 we really haven't heard anything about it aside from it's in development
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 did you hear about the new series
Do you think it'll a continuous after the movie or just a new series that stands on it's own
@@marcywu5982 The movie is gonna be about gumball and his family teaming up with a kid to stop the void or whatever by going through another dimention (or reality) if i remember right...then there's gonna be a new tv series about it after
I agree, this episode's humor (like the majority of episodes) is REALLY good.
The ONLY problem I have is how they handled the "characters are stupid in this world" joke. It's like the writers forgot there's a difference between between stupid and being oblivious, since only Gumball knew it was their parents and Principal Brown.
It's cartoon tradition for characters not to see through obvious disguises. Ash can never recognize Team Rocket. Elmer Fudd never recognizes Bugs Bunny.
@@icecreamhero2375
Like half of Doofenshmirtz and Perry's entire dynamic is built on the fact that Doof is incapable of recognizing Perry without the hat.
Ah yes, the Clark Kent affect at its finest
@@Jason_Ultimate “A platypus?”
“PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!”
*”ckkkkkkk”*
@@Jason_Ultimate Its also because he never wants to assume due to past trauma.
The theme of death in this show is particularly interesting. So many characters "die" (or at least should have died) all the time but somehow they always end up coming back. At one point when I was like 13 I remember just coming to terms with the fact that no one will ever actually die which makes death humor really funny.
They actually have an episode pointing fun at this same trope. Its called The Finale. The entire episode is them facing the consequences of stuff they did in previous episodes that they just assumed would be reset because the episode ended
Gumball was the first kids show in a long time really make me laugh. The humor is just so good.
I swear Gumball is probably the most mind bending animation I’ve ever seen
And arguably a forerunner of the stylized cgi that would become the norm after Gumball, especially with theatrical movies.
absurdist humor is my favorite genre of comedy.. who needs satire, subversion, puns & improv when you can have wacky nonsensical adventures?
why not both
@@murderman8578 i yes, i love South Park i agree
Are we going to ignore Alan’s dad being “Mr. White” quite literally
I think you should do The Remote. The set-up is simple but works amazingly, and the ending is honestly one of my favorites.
My family as a whole loves this show! We can definitely relate to all of the characters and even both my parents burst out laughing when they watch it, which is a rare occasion when it comes to new cartoons.
Well its not new but yea
@@justjah3030 yep I know. What I meant is that my parents aren't drawn that easily to cartoons that come out recently. It's pretty uncommon for them to do so and they haven't been drawn to the new cartoons that appear on cartoon network or any other channels, or just to "modern" (if you can call them that,idk how else to refer to them) cartoons :)
I rewatched the first episode of the show with my dad and he chuckled a bit but he didn't really care for it I think
kinda off-topic but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how gumball as a character is not perfect
in fact, he's incredibly flawed and that's what makes him incredibly relatable
sometimes he's actually very unlikable and that's what makes him an amazing and well-written character
he's a liar, he's kinda dumb, he's rude, he's self-centered, he's really egotistical and he's ignorant, but that's what makes him feel like a good character
gumball is one of a few main characters in cartoons that i actually love and relate to
it could make him unlikable in general if other characters didn't acknowledge it so we know it's intentional
anyways, I love 'the bus' a lot, great video:D
In the search for the best you need to have the disaster and the re-run, some of the best stuff this show has ever made, also if not this then the origin was also a great episode
Origins is one of my faves
Those all have Rob in them. Coincidence, I think not.
12:51 I lost brain cells at this scene I love this show 🤣🤣
It's hard to believe all these shows have ended
Nicole's deformed head: Or has it?
A thing that makes Gumball special is the fact it's humor isn't just modern. It goes out of it's way to reference alot of stuff, there was a Highlander reference in one episode, a whole episode dedicated to D&D, one to JRPGs( with references from all over the franchise of Final Fantasy) and in the Episode where Ms. Waterson tries to pay a bill she ends up in a reference to Thoroughly Modern Millie mixed with DDR. That's a weird selection of references to go with especially for a 2010's show.
Alpha Jay: "I'm not here to body-shame anyone."
*Few seconds later*
Alpha Jay body-shames Richard Watterson.
Me: 😂😂😂😂
Alpha Jay: And if you disagree, here's a professional that agrees with me.
Scott Steiner: HE'S FAT!!!
…….
Gumball masters everything perfect a cartoon should have
TAWoG is amazing at what it does, there are very few episodes in this show that I dislike, and even the ones I can name I simply skip over because the show, once again, did a great job at executing them. The Cringe and The Hug are two examples of that. I skip over those episodes each time I can, but not because they're poorly made... it's because they're genuinely cringe. The show did such a good job at creating prefect second hand embarrassment and cringe that I physically cannot watch those episodes without cringing
TAWoG is a wonderfully self aware show
The Hug was a fantastic episode. The "Tent Scene" is forever burnt into my brain as one of the most iconic Gumball moments.
Alan has been killed so many times that I think it's a running joke now
Thanks for the reminder on why Gumball is one of my favorite shows of all time.
Also I had this idea in my head when I was younger where characters from Adult Swim shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force would cameo in the background. Could you imagine the Aqua Teen’s reactions to seeing how Richard nearly destroyed the universe by getting a job or Gumball and his classmates having to sit through a story from the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future
“Unlike banana joe who played 4d chess” had me crying lmao 14:11
Alan’s balloon dad looking like Walter White/Heisenberg from Breaking Bad is just top notch, a joke I wouldn’t have noticed when I was younger but I can fully appreciate it now.
i rewatched gumball 5 months ago and i can't stop laughing at this show
Honestly the best episodes are the ones that do both silly and serious, like The Father, The Faith, The Candidate, The Heart, The Possession, and The Factory
Oh come on. You're not gonna include "The Shell" in that list?
Not me forgetting that Rob was actually in this episode 😭😭
Alpha Jay ace analyst and reviewer has returned!!!...and Gumball comedy wise was one of the many greatest things about that show!!!
This episode is definitely one of my favourite episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball.
I rewatched the entire series just last week. It’s been years since I last watched and watching it again made me realize how funny and amazing this show is
An absolutely outstanding show
I go insane every time he does the “Call the reaper” thing.
i think the episode "the joy" is underrated
1st we get to see Lucy who is usually a not so good person break threw that
2nd a zombie episode is nice in a show like this
My favorite episode was definitely The Shippening. The scene where Gumball and Darwin see their human counterparts at the alter gets me cracking EVERY TIME!! And the fact that Gumball said “I always thought I’d be the one wearing the pants in this relationship” pffffft, so he _has_ thought about it?!? Is there something Darwin and us should know, Gumball? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My whole life I've felt like I'm gumball in this episode. The only one who isn't a complete idiot.
i binged gumball this past few weeks, and i've NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH IN MY LIFE, its sooo good. i just finished all of the seasons and am starting again.
Anyone else notice that Alan’s father is dressed up like the drawn version of walter white’s sketch in breaking bad?
Gumball got me through my Childhood and through 2020 and 2021,that’s why the show is so special to me
Banana joe: "my mom is missing, can I hang a poster in your window?"
Larry very solemnly: "oh, sure 😢"
Banana Joe promptly smashes the window by nailing the poster to it with a hammer
I wonder if the episode would have been funnier if we found out that the balloon was actually a wanted criminal instead of Alan's dad...
Dude, Alpha, this video is so good!! It's hilarious, the small clips for comedic effect, and the editing, just perfect!! Keep them coming please!!!!!
I love the way you described the four shows.
And honestly, I LOVE Gumball, and Steven Universe.
I can’t believe someone could go into so much detail about one episode. But it’s incredible.
Great video man, keep it up!
"Another one rides the bus!"
Unrelated news: I'm watching this on the bus.
I gotta admit, I was very happy to stumble upon this video as The Bus is one of my all-time favorite gumball episodes.
Gumball has master it’s comedy so well
I loved gumball as a kid , and I'd love to see the re-run or robs story in general. I remember really liking the re-run. It's funny because I remember so many gumball episodes even though I haven't seen it in so many years.
My favorite part is at 15:03 when there's a liar's paradox. If the first pie chart is fake, and the second one is fake, it all works out because both are fake. If the first pie chart is fake and the second one is true, it also works out because 50% are real and 50% are fake. But if the first pie chart is real, and the second one is fake, then it's a paradox because it's true, so it is true, but then it's not true because neither of them is fake and so on. If the first pie chart is real and the second one is real, it's also not true because neither of them are fake, so it's fake, but then it's real and so on.
Liar's paradox is the best paradox lol
This is why I love gumball. Another thing I like about it is how relatable it can be like the Cringe and the Awkwardness. Those episodes are something else😳
Dang, the reaper is working overtime this episode.
this was one of my favorite episodes of the series and i still can't belive myself still
but literally everything in this episode is fantastic
I am loving the call the reaper running gag. it's the earthbound music that make it better.
I loved your entire work but the "Call the reaper" scene and music add the cherry on top of the cake.
13:55
Whoa calm down Jamal don’t pull the 9
I still watch this everyday. I've watch from beginning to end multiple times and I still catch things I didn't see the first time. I'm hoping the movie drops soon, that way they can start the new series. I'm itching for more episodes.
Just using the same gag of someone dying, playing Earthbound music and then calling the reaper each and every time not changing was probably a message about people humor but it was just darn super funny each time I laughed loud each time.
This is honestly one of the most quotable shows I’ve ever seen
7:40 Titan run never gets old😂
The part where Gumball beat up Dream is the best part
I don't know why I held off on this video but your compelling delivery and analysis of cartoons just always gets me
Hurts so much that all the shows in the beginning ended 💔 😢
This may not be the best episode of Gumball, but I still love it. It's the first one that pops into my mind when I think about the show.
We gonna ignore the bollon is Walter white
Mao Mao is a great show too~ I haven't seen a review on it since like forever
I know right??!
I would say Mao Mao is on par with Gumball in fact.
@@Aflay1 Yeah. I like Mao Mao
Apparently season 2 is being worked on but it's been like 2 or 3 years since the first season ended
I adore Mao Mao. Every single of the main characters is amazing, protagonist and antagonist (expect Ratarang, I forget about him)
I think 3 of the best TAWOG episodes would be The Words, The Game, and The Tape!
The Words really helped develop Darwin's character more, as in season 1, he really was not that different from gumball in the fact that he was often oblovious to obvious things and that he typically just blindly followed gumball without putting in his own input (this is not be saying i disliked darwin in season 1 or that he wasnt his own character, i absolutely LOVED darwin, i just feel he was underdeveloped from where he is now). I love that The Words really helps cement Darwin's personality as wanting to please everyone and never have people dislike him by showing that he cannot even ask someone to stop something annoying out of fear of them getting upset. It is also INCREDIBLY relatable to people like me with high social anxiety, and the many jokes throughout the episode land every time i watch it even today. The Street Fighter-esque fight at the end where they could "pause and unpause" and just used insults at eachother as their attacks was INCREDIBLY CREATIVE! I feel that it is one of Gumballs most profilic episodes.
The Game is an episode that I've come back to repeatedly because of how enjoyable it is. The family's reactions to their different dodge effects always make me smile, especially Nicole's when she doubts everything she says. All the dodges were very creative despite the episode really just being about the family playing a board game. They took such a simple concept and turned it into a colorful imaginative episode of "what if the game ACTUALLY punished us?", and I think it was done flawlessly.
The Tape to me is probably gumballs most profilic episode. The animators really made the episode feel as though it was recorded by a couple children with a camera and no limits, and they cram packed so many jokes into each individual clip like each of Darwin's flubbed lines and the incredibly low production value of Ninja George II. It took ocho from being just a simple background character to being spotlit with his videogame in real life abilities. Everything about this episode to me is everything i love about Gumball as a whole. It's creative, it doesnt take itself seriously (as beautifully shown by the joke that no one would care about a show called "The Amazing World of Gumball), and it's just the kids of elmore being kids.
All 3 of these episodes also really nail the wacky humor side of Gumball, which I absolutely agree with you that they completely mastered really early on.
That's all right you didn't ruin bus rides for me. I'm in high school, I've seen people do worse stuff on the bus.
I am watching this show currently for the 15th time I love it so much I need more, and I once watched all 6 seasons in 1 week.
I just turned 18… and i cant begin to explain how painful it is to rewatch these shows. And then stop and remember how much work i have left
11:49 hol’ up,was that a death note reference?
yup
There is also an attack on titan reference, gumball acts like that abnormal titan that mikasa killed in season one during the evacuation
Also mr. White is featured in gumball 👉👉
Just needed to say your top four is completely perfect and it doesn’t get better than those
The Worst is my favorite episode of this show. It's so wacky and focuses on the entire Waterson family, which are always my favorites!
4:28 alans dad looks a little familiar...
*Breaking bad intro music plays*
2:39 to mature for balloons
I absolutely love that they made Mr. White look like Heisenberg
Mr white, Mr. brown, Mr pink and Mr rainbow are straight up code names from Breaking Bad
Hello I am One politically charged comment.
Alpha jay at 5:14 you wrote banana joe died but it was actually banana bob. So was that intentional?
i swear the call the reaper joke gets me evey time
the balloon dad is also dressed as the police sketch of heisenburg from breaking bad. thought i should say it
This episode might not be The Best, but it is definitely The Bus.
I'll see myself out...
Boom boom ching
It may just be personal bias…. But I definitely believe that The Petals, The Nest, The Tape, The Vision and The Neighbor are five possible contenders for the best episode… but an absolute definite contender for the best episode is The Downer
I gotta say, I love the, "Call the Reaper" running gag you've been using
No other show has made me laugh as hard as this show
