I'm glad my post has provoked a positive discussion about the show here, it's real great - these are both great series.
oh there was the episode where they referenced Ratatoing and Little Panda Fighter:

are we just posting good gumball bits

How do they keep such a good budget to do all these bits? It's already a step above the usual cartoon even when it's not doing a crazy segment.

What the fuck did I just witness and how come I haven't marathoned it yet?
[QUOTE=EskillV2;52803130]That episode where that peanut-dad imitated Liam Neeson from taken is my favourite. :v:

Fuck yeah Gumball
There was a Chinese bootleg made

That was then the basis for an entire episode which can get pretty brutal

The creators must really love making this show
I knew they were on to something great when it first showed up on CN.
Or the episode where they mock every trope in (J)RPG games.

Gumball is a shining beacon of light in a sea of mediocrity.
Kind of a weird crossover though considering Don't Hug Me I'm Scared seems to take a ton of shots at commercial kid's television.

Nothing about Gumball strikes me as a conventional commercial kid's show.

One of Ben's points on even getting on american tv was to be able tackle stuff honestly.
Anyway if you want a "quick" encapsulation as to whether you should watch the show or not:

That's a fair point. I've never watched it in full, but it does strike more as a passion project than a boardroom-developed show.

That actually makes sense. A majority of the characters are actually rejected characters from previous works.

It comes from the time when I was working in advertising – very unsuccessfully – and I ended up with a whole bunch of characters from pitches that had been rejected by clients. They all ended up in my drawer. When I got hired by Cartoon Network and was asked to pitch a show idea, I sold to them the characters that I had already be paid to do. The characters are also inspired by my family. My dad is called Richard, my mum Nicole, my sister Anais… so I definitely used my experiences of my family to develop the Wattersons too.
