Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is definitely a show worth watching. The characters are all great and even the side characters are memorable, but not as much as something like Gravity falls. The blend of animation styles is also a brilliant concept. While there are Handrawn and CGI characters in every episode, they will sometimes use live action, puppetry, claymation, anime, and they even get experimental with the 2D and CG stuff. And all on a background that's just photos of the real world. The show is rarely emotionally gripping, because that's not the point of the show; it's primarily a comedy series. Every single episode has at least 1 light-chuckle-worthy joke. But some of the episodes are absolutely hilarious, especially when they are parodying things. They've parodied The Jurassic Park Franchise, The Star Wars Franchise and its Fanbase, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Soap Opera's, The Walking Dead, Lame Teen pandering Sitcoms, Rocky, and even Back to the Future. And if it's not a direct parody, there are still references to several other things such as 2001: A Space Odessy, The Shining, and Silence of the Lambs. BUT. But when they actually go for emotional or heartwarming stories, it always works, given it happens rarely. My only complaint would be the lack of continuity in... how the continuity works. There are 3 or more episodes with the exact same plot of the main character proving himself to his crush's father. Sometimes characters are just completely different from episode to episode in personality and intelligence. It's like some episodes are important and actually have relevance in later episodes, where other episodes are 100% inconsequential. But that more of a nitpick, and I wouldn't say it doesn't take away any of my enjoyment of the show. The lows in the show are still OK, but the highs are the highest of highs and make the whole experience so worth it. Definitely check this one out... or just find a list of the best episodes. 9/10 (Plus they mention DANK MEMES more than once. So it gets extra points for that.)

The Amazing World of Gumball is one of the best shows (in animation) that's out there and possibly of all time to this day. The show contains not only 2D animation, but along with 3D animation. The humor is always funny and it isn't "random = funny" type of humor. Yes, they do contain modern humor, like dabbing and etc, but somehow the show writers make that type of humor actually funny and not cringey.

The Amazing world of gumball is a very good show. but its not for little kids. it has lots of edgy Adult jokes. gumballs crotch is seen censored in some episodes. gumball and Darwin accidentally kiss when a tree falls over. the doughnut sheriff says there's mustache on your sausage. and gumball and Darwin say that's our specialty. and then wink at the camera.

Anton a piece of bread falls into the water. and when gumball pulls him out hes all soggy. and there's a montage of gumball and Darwin killing Anton in a bunch of different ways. such as shredding him in a paper shredder. giving him a heart attack. and making to bias bite off his head. all the clones of Darwin kill themselves. gumball gets jealous and plans to kill Leslie with weed killer. gumball Darwin Carrie and penny hold a seance. to try to get the jealousy out of gumball.

Many shows on Cartoon Network have tried and failed to be funny, like the forgettable My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Johnny Test, Teen Titans Go or maybe even Chowder in some episodes (doesn't mean I don't like Chowder though). However, with the recent uprising of Regular Show, Adventure Time and The Amazing World of Gumball, I thought it's best to review the third show that, according to some people, saved the network. The setting for starters is actually pretty cliché. It takes mostly things from The Simpsons and doesn't really change it around. Anyway, other IMDb users have pointed out this flaw already so I can't say much. However, the humour in Gumball in general is actually funny. In my opinion, it is a wide array of humour, like abuse humour in Season 1, Slapstick from Season 2-present, social commentary in Seasons 3-present and random-but-actually- makes-sense-in-the-whole-storyline jokes from Season 2-present. The writing is actually quite good, with episodes about Gumball going through a rerun of the episode and the Universe collapsing on itself just because Richard got a job. This means that Gumball writers are good especially when they find out different ways to break the fourth wall. They can also do heartwarming episodes such as The Choices and The Origins Part 1 and 2, but even though it's heartwarming and supposed to be serious, the writers manage to add jokes that are actually funny.The characters. This family started out cliché, but due to all the events that have happened to them over the course of 5 seasons, obviously they will have some character development. Anais is now more involved with the family, as opposed to Season 1 where she got little screen time, Richard has been shown to generally care for his kids and Gumball and Darwin resolve their conflicts even more in more ways and sends a good message to me in my opinion. So I have talked about good things. Why do I not rate this a 10/10? The reason is because some of the Gumball episodes such as The Girlfriend, The Apprentice and The Boombox are all the worst examples of a character not deserving what they got in my opinion (Darwin should have been given an apology by Jamie in The Girlfriend, Gumball should have had a good relationship with Patrick Fitzgerald in The Apprentice and Juke should have been able to speak English in The Boombox). However, 1. Some people might like those episodes 2. You can't make every episode of a show good and like it. So with that in mind, I give Gumball a 9.8/10
