Everything Wrong With The Amazing World of Gumball Part 1: Seasons 1-3 & Comics

EWW: The Lie

Narrator: 'Twas the middle of January in old Elmore Town, and everyone was feeling quite down.
A random disembodied voice narrators this entire episode with zero explanation as to who or what he is ever given +1

Also, setting an episode in January and releasing it in November +1

[A sad bird falls into the chimney]
Did...did that bird just kill itself!? I know the show does dark humour sometimes, but god damn +1

Anais: Three-hundred and forty-nine days. That's two-hundred and twenty-seven days of school, three-hundred math classes, and seven-thousand time checks waiting for the day to end.
Why am I not surprised Anais has calculated all of these already? -1

Gumball: How about "Fun day"?
Anais: Gumball, nothing that calls itself "fun" ever is: fun-sized, fun run, fungus.
What!? No, there's...well...uh...huh, what do you know, she's right -1

Gumball: Don't be depressed to behave like a drag, for everyone knows today's Sluzzle Tag!
Since when would Gumball ever say something like this +1

Gumball: Uh, he's got a beard, sneakers, and a leather coat.
Darwin: Is that all he's wearing? It sounds like he should be running from the police.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -10

Darwin: [Gasps excitedly] In a sleigh?!
Gumball: Well, there's no snow, so he drives his... magic van.
Darwin: With reindeer?!
Gumball: Pssh! No. He's too cool for that. He's got some, uh... [Hears dogs barking in the distance] Dobermans!
Darwin: What are their names?
Gumball: Uh, Trasher, Smasher, Rancid, Rage Slayer, and Rabies.
Darwin: Are you sure Sluzzle Dude is a nice guy? Because he sounds pretty metal.
Gumball: Yeah, but you know metalheads, they pretend to be hardcore, but they're just hippies who like leather.
Darwin: Cool! So do we get a day off school?
Gumball: Of course.
[Everyone gathers around Gumball]
Rocky: Tell us more. How does he get into houses?
Gumball: Through the toilet.
Darwin: Ew! Why?!
Gumball: Oh, come on, dude. He doesn't want to get covered in soot.
Rocky: And what kind of music do you play on Sluzzle Tag?
Gumball: Grindcore.
God damn, Gumball has certainly gotten a lot better at making up lies on the spot since The Dress -1

Banana Joe: Thanks, Rocky, uh, but aren't you supposed to be driving the bus?
Joe would be good at CinemaSIns +1

Nigel Brown: I was so sad, I tried to hibernate till spring, but it turns out that whatever I am doesn't do that.
The fact that not even the writers know what Principal Brown is, is actually pretty funny -1

Principal Brown: Anyway, everyone gets a day off. Jolly Sluzzle Tag! Bye! [Zips off]
Either principal brown is just as eager as everyone else to have a day off, or he's just stupid and believes Gumball's lie. Either way, he falls for this +1

Lucy Simian:  Hmm. I will prove to you there is nothing to be happy about in January. [Makes an evil smile]
Hah, gotta love the Grinch reference! -5

Gumball: Dad, where did you get that sweater?
Richard: From the Sluzzle market.
Gumball: There's already a Sluzzle market?
How the fuck is that Sluzzetag clothing and decorations with hours of Gumball coming up with the holiday!? No possible way people could work that fast! +1

Gumball: We eat junk food --the worst you can think of.
Richard: The worst I can think of?!
Gumball: [Glances at shelf] Baby dog paste. Ha! Just kidding. Classic Sluzzle Tag joke. We eat junk food --the worst you can think of.
Richard: The worst I can think of?!
Gumball, you have no idea the number of deaths you have just caused +1

[Cuts to the Wattersons eating Sluzzlewursts for dinner]
Anais: Dad, this Sluzzle-wurst is so fatty, I'm sweating butter.
Okay, you need to go to the hospital. Now. +1

Gumball: Let's watch the Sluzzle Tag special. [Switches on TV]
Skeleton kid (on TV): Jolly Sluzzle Ta—
[The TV screen abruptly cuts to a lost signal image with a sad X-eyed face]
TV: Unfortunately, animation is a lengthy process, and that's all we've had time to make. Jolly Sluzzle Tag.
Why even air this if this is all they had to show? +1

Gumball: Oh my gosh! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! Think about how upset everyone's gonna be when everything I promised doesn't come true! It'll be like...
[Imagines Earth blowing up]
Anais: I think you're being overdramatic. It'll be more like...
[Imagines a clay model version of Gumball being smashed up]
I can't not remove sins for such an iconic scene. Poor clay Gumball though... -5

Gumball: Anais, you have to help me! [Singing, continuously getting higher in pitch as he continues] Cause Elmore is waiting for a wish to come true, for presents delivered by their Sluzzle Dude. You cannot deny them their hopes and beliefs! To lift them from sorrow, to save them from grief, to bring such—
Anais: Okay, okay, I'll help you! Just stop singing!
I love that, considering the start as well. this episode is a psuedo-Gumball and Anais story. Pretty much the only time the show ever spotlighted the two of them without Darwin, and something I wish we got more of along side her and Darwin alone too -5

Anais: No, wait! Stop running! We need a plan!
Gumball: [Walks back] Oh, sorry.
Anais: Actually, no. Carry on. Running helps you think.
Gumball: [Runs in place]
If running helps you think then why isn't Anais the one running? +1

Anais: Okay. First, we're gonna need presents. Luckily, trash cans are full of all the lame Christmas gifts people pretended to like, like that treadmill mom bought for dad. Just grab that.
Why on earth would Nicole ever spend so much money on a treadmill for Richard!? There's more chances of pigs flying than him ever using it. +5

Lucy Simian: [Laughs and enters through window] Ha! Sluzzl— Aah! [Slips on bathtub, but gets up] Sluzzle Tag is nothing but a lie! Now I can prove it! [Shows photo to Darwin] See?!
Darwin: What's that?
[Miss Simian sees that the photo she is showing is a photo of her butt]
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh +250

[Gumball and Anais cover each others ears]
Awww, the fact they both jumped to covering each other's ears rather than their own is pretty cute -1

Narrator: We'll save you the pain of how loud Darwin's sound was. Just imagine the scream of a million Chihuahuas.
God damn this dude can shift the planet with his sneezes and scream at the equivalent of 100 chihuahua's at the same time. Does he have superpowers or something!? +1
