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

EWW: The Money

Gumball: Look at me. What do you see? I'm still a child. Nothing in my life has been decided yet. I am free. I haven't sold out to a job I hate, I don't have to be part of this dirty rat race that ruined the world chasing money I don't need to buy stuff I don't want, I'm free to make my own choices! So yes, Larry, I will have fries with that.
Dude, he just asked if you wanted fries with your burger, not your entire life story +1

Nicole: Sorry, it's just another phase. Last week, he only wanted to eat food he hunted himself.
I mean, considering he's a cat, this isn't really that weird. He was just embracing his more animalistic side +1

Gumball: Are you implying I don't live up to my own beliefs?
Anais: Do you know what implying means?
Gumball: No.
Writers make Gumball and/or Darwin uncharacteristically stupid cliché +1

Larry: So that's three kids' meals, a salad, and forty-seven double cheeseburgers.
Firstly, who the fuck orders a salad at a fast food restaurant? +1

Secondly. the siblings got kids meals? I mean, I kinda get it with Anais...even if she'd hate being treated like a toddler and could definetely manage a normal meal but Gumball and Darwin!? Those two are more than old enough to get regular meals. +1

Thirdly...fourty seven double fucking cheeseburgers!? I get Richard has a massive appetite, but I find it hard to believe that even he could manage 47 burgers. With two patties in each that's 94 burger patties alone. Not to mention all the other toppings and buns that'd be piled on top of it.  No living being could consume such a behemoth mountain of food +5

Richard: Relax! I asked for Swiss cheese. It's healthier.
Nicole: What? How?
Richard: It's got holes in it.
Nicole: [Sighs] Let's make that one cheeseburger and some carrot sticks.
I mean...he's not wrong. Holes equals less cheese. Less chese is obviously healthier. +1

Nicole: [Sighs] Let's make that one cheeseburger and some carrot sticks.
Okay, I get that Richard's order before was overkill, but now you're giving him barely anything. Surely you could have found a better balance and given him...i don't know, two or three cheeseburgers and some fries? Just something more filling than a single burger and a few carrot sticks +1

Nicole: I don't understand. There should be money on that card. Where's it all gone?
Anais: Hmm... I don't want to point the finger, but... [Points at Richard] Dad! What did you do with the money?
Richard: Well, I did what all the business sharks do to avoid getting taxed. I transferred it to an off-shore bank account.
Nicole: [Glares at Richard] Richard, what exactly have you done with my-- I'm sorry, our-- No, wait, actually, my money?
Richard: Like I said, I put it off-shore.
[Flashback to when Richard threw a suitcase full of money off the shore of a dock]
Richard: [Back in the present] But not before converting it into gold.
[The flashback continues and ends with the suitcase sinking into the sea.]
God damnit! I told you waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in The Date that Richard having access to the family's entire life savings was aterrible idea, and this right here is exactly why! This all could have been easily avoided if RIchard had his own bank account and card and Nicole simply transferred a small portion of her earnings over to it every month. It's only a little extra effort each month for significantly higher security on the family's saving. +10

Richard: Don't worry, kids! I'll calm her down with my irresistible charm!
[Richard grabs his belly again, but this time, he forms it in the shape of a heart, which calms Nicole down immediately. She turns back to her normal self]
If Richard is able to calm Nicole down this easily, why the fuck has he not done it before!? There are multiple occasions where this would have been extremely useful. +5
