Ben Bocquelet, Jon Foster, and James Lamont originally came up with the premise of this episode back when the latter two were still working on the show.

so TWWWOG got a promo in Pakistan, and near the ending it gives us this. I’m not surprised, they’ve done it before. But the Irony of them promoting a show thats against ai and have 2 whole episodes about it, it’s kinda funny.

Forgive my english.

I’m probably going to get a lot of downvotes for this, but I really want to say it because it feels like nobody else shares my view. I’ve always thought that the entire Void lore and Rob storyline ruined the show.

What made the show special, in my opinion, was its style and humor, which is clearly aimed at kids but at the same time, I’m sure a lot of people in their 20s and even older still enjoy it. I’ve always seen it as a more childlish version of Family Guy. There was a timeline, sure, but each episode still felt self-contained, with new plots every time in the style of shows like Family Guy or The Simpsons.

But I honestly think the biggest mistake was focusing too much on Rob and the Void. I’m not saying Rob is a bad character in fact, the idea of the Void and Rob coming back after being thrown into the sewer, forgotten by both the characters and the writers, and eventually becoming a villain was actually original and interesting. But I really hate how it suddenly became the center of everything.

Again, the concept of Rob turning evil was a great way to bring him back into the story, but I find it really annoying how even the final scene of the show was focused on him. Take Molly, for example, she ended up in the Void because the writers considered her a useless and boring character, and they used that to create the Void episode where she’s rescued and brought back. Then they even leaned into the idea of her being “boring” in the episode where she tells stories, and it worked really well.

They could’ve done the same thing with Rob a recurring villain who occasionally shows up with a new evil plan to mess with Gumball and in fact they did, and those episodes worked great (like the bus episode, the remote control episode, and the Banana Joe one where Rob hates him).

But for me, the mistake was trying so hard to force this Void lore into everything, to the point where it even became the final frame of the series finale. I’m pretty sure there was originally supposed to be a planned movie, which honestly I never liked the idea of, and I think the creators eventually realized that too since it never got made.

To me, Gumball isn’t memorable because of the Void lore or Rob. A good example of memorable lore would be something like Steven Universe, but I’ve never seen Gumball as a show meant to be followed for its story.

Now I know TWWWOG exists, I watched the whole first season in two days but I’m not a big fan of the new show for a few reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve heard season 2 is better, so it could definitely improve, and I hope that even 10 years from now they’re still making new seasons of TWWWOG.

But I really hope this new show doesn’t end up revolving around a deep lore like the Void, because in my opinion that’s what ruined the original series. It feels like they really wanted to force a movie centered on the Void and Banana Barbara’s painting, where the family is trapped inside it but honestly, I think they should’ve just kept the show going with new seasons and new episodes until it naturally came to an end for whatever reason.

These four seem like the most consistent male friend group in the show, or at least the most consistent MALE friend group Gumball is a part of. Is this a hot take? Strongest Evidence being especially in episodes The Pressure and also The Mother’s these four hanging out.

I haven’t seen Season 7 “ the reboot series” but in that one image I have up there in the episode The Distance, Darwin was hanging w Tobias and Banana Joe to help make a space for him and Gumball or something like that, so of all people he calls up those two which is interesting which shows Darwin considers them close guy friends and they care about Gumball. Besides each other it just seems like Gumball and Darwin hang and interact with Tobias and Banana Joe the most out of the other guys in school. Tobias and Banana Joe seem like best friends anyway they are seen together a lot as a duo.

Anyways I love when these four hang out, just seems like a good portal or a 4 person friend group, and I wish we got more of them together!

Hey, it's me again! :]

If you don't know me yet. I'm Kurt, the solo dev behind Lost & Found. It's an adventure-mystery game where the visuals are inspired by one of my childhood obsessions - The Amazing World of Gumball.

If you find the game interesting, you can support the development of the game by wishlisting it on Steam. Thanks everyone!

I don't really like this ship and I wanted to know if it's just a gag in the show, something heavily based on headcanons and the fandom or if there's actually evidence of them being together

Ik it's not that deep I just want to know oof

The second half of season 5, while not as strong as the first half (which is obvious — it’s hard to top a stretch that includes some of the best episodes of the whole show), is still great and incredibly creative.

People CONSTANTLY (to the point where I think they’re just repeating the popular take) say that the second half is when the show started to go downhill so badly. That’s always seemed pretty strange to me, because there are still plenty of great episodes or individual segments with charm of previous seasons.

The Cycle was super interesting conceptually and executed pretty well.

The Diet, The Petals, The Deal, The Best, The Menu and The News definitely had some hilarious and memorable moments.

Most of The Singing was very creative and did a solid job reflecting the characters’ personalities (in my opinion, this episode is just as good as The Night, which it resembles a lot).

The Nuisance and The Heist (I’d add The Box from the first half to these) are some of the best episodes featuring the full family trying to solve a specific problem in their usual chaotic ways. They’re honestly no weaker than The Pizza or The Check.

The Ex was an important episode for Rob, and watching Gumball’s obsession was hilarious (complains that Gumball is super annoying in this episode feel kind of forced to me and just plain weird).

In my opinion, The List perfectly captures the creativity that made all of us fall in love with Gumball in the first place — taking something what seems like an obvious idea, reference, or joke setup and turning it into something totally unique, sweet, and hilarious. The Google Maps segment from that episode is still one of my favorites in the entire series.

The Puppets was a pretty solid season finale and technically the only crossover in the whole series (even if not a full one), which is pretty cool.

For me, season 5 is still pretty consistent in quality — it just has more mid episodes (even in the first half) than seasons 2 or 4. It’s still full of that early Gumball charm, but also has some good moments from season 6. I really wish more people loved and appreciated it as a whole thing.

So I’d like to know — what exactly about the second half do people see as the point where the show started to fall off? Too much obvious social commentary? Flanderization? A drop in joke or reference quality? Too much focus on changing animation styles? huge writting changes? (imo, those problems don’t really apply much to this season. CERTAINLY NOT to the degree they’re present in the last 10–15 episodes of season 6 or TWWWOG. Compared to them, season 5 is pure peak.)

What other reasons could there be for such reaction from the fandom?

(sorry for my english btw)

I know a lot of people think Darwin is the best, or some other character, but for me it's Gumball, and I'll explain why. I remember Gumball being a character I loved when I first watched the show, mainly because he's so funny. I like how sarcastic he is, how mischievous, sweet, colorful, charismatic, generous, and talented he is at so many things. I love it when he appears, and I love his multifaceted personality; he always makes me smile. As for his personality, I'd say it feels more real. However, this character also has a problem: sometimes the writers mold him in a way that doesn't match his true personality in certain episodes, like in "The Fools" or "The Roast." And I don't like the other characters as much anymore, like Darwin, who I don't think is the best because he drives me crazy when he's so silly and naive, also because of some of the things he did in the series. I hope they continue to portray Gumball well in the upcoming episodes because I think he's a really interesting character.

*no longer TAWOG,but for me it'll always be

Me:.

1.- Penny interacting with her mom in-law Nicole (Nicole does allow Gumball to have girlfriend,but we've never seen her and Nicole interact)

2.-More interactions with Nicole's parents (although they're so pedantic)

3.-More Gumball family (maybe great-grandparents?)

4.- Kpop (they already had NewJeans,sadly due to legal problems they can no longer release music so they're technically disbanded ☹️) like aespa or 2NE1,TWICE,i-dle

5.- More emotional and serious episodes not just lmao/potassium episodes

6.- More Yuki and Nicole beef jajaja

7.-Maybe a Deltarune reference? (I don't think since Deltarune is a niche game but it would be so iconic if it did)

8.-Penny meeting and interacting with Gumball's grandparents (and telling him about how pedantic they are xd)

9.- Classic Songs and musicians references like in The Singing

(Suggestions: Britney Spears, George Michael/Wham!, Gorillaz,Blondie<3)

10.- adult jokes (not too funky so censors don't k*I'll them) about Penball

Let's see if I can get one right

I liked the first episodes and want to watch more but I'm not in the mood to sit through every season and episode

What's the highlights? Is there a best season?

Genuinely like pls help me I’ve searched high and low and only youtooz has some good figures but they’re all sold out and I can’t find them anywhere second hand for sale and Etsy just has like cake toppers and stickers 😭💔 PLS HELP MEEE

I just finished season 2 and played 2 mins of season 3 and the voice change was so off putting i couldn't even pay attention to the jokes I was just shocked. The voice acting, especially Darwin's, was one of my favourite parts of seasons 1 and 2 😭😭
