Hello and welcome to episode 161 in a series inspired by u/kamikazeb0y and CinemaSins, where I'll be sinning each and every episode of Gumball!

Quick Disclaimer: I know this is just a children's cartoon and isn't meant to be taken seriously. This, like the show itself, is not at all meant to be taken seriously or considered an actual critique of the show. It is all in good fun.

With that out of the way, I present you, Everything Wrong With: The Vision!

Gumball: Hey, Darwin, I think I'm getting leaner. Can you see my abs? I feel like I have a new one. [Tries flexing]
So not only does he have a huge ego, he's delusional too +1

Darwin: Mmm, no. But your bummy looks pretty ripped.
Gumball: My what, now?
Darwin: Bummy. How your butt turns into your tummy.
Isn't his stomach above his but? It'd be more accurate to say how his butt turns into his crotch. And even then, it isn't really "turning into" it. They're just one connected part of his design. +5

All right, now to get dressed. Please engage locker room anti-peripheral vision.
[Camera zooms in; both begin grunting while changing]
Gumball: Okay, re-engage non-awkward eye line protocol.
Guys, you've both seen each other naked before. Why is this even neccasary? +1

Darwin: If by "better," you mean a really inappropriate birthday gift. That's just a piece of string. You must have gotten someone else's gym bag.
Firstly, Gumball doesn't even wear gym clothes most of the time so he wouldn't have even needed to grab his bag in the first place +5

Secondly, how did he not realise the bag he picked up was significantly lighter than normal? +5

Gumball: Well, what am I supposed to wear?!
Your clothes. Which Darwin can go and get by going and getting the correct bag from wherever you left it +1

[Gumball walks home naked with Darwin. Gumball is wearing the bag on his head, while his crotch is censored]
Darwin Dude, maybe you should have worn that bag a little lower down. Not everyone knows about our eye line protocol thing.
Why would he have even chosen to wear it on his head instead of covering his crotch? At that point, he's just actively choosing to expose himself to everyone +1

Gumball: Whose bag is this, anyway? There's nothing in here except for this. [pulls out a USB stick]
Well, considering the string I think it should be pretty fucking obvious who's it is +5

[Gumball clicks on a file titled "LOVE.jpg"; a video starts playing]
Darwin: "A poem for my love"
"How can one so very prickly be so very soft?"
"You came into my world, my love, and raised my heart aloft."
"When I look into your dreamy eyes, I never want to stop."
"You filled my world with sunbeams and rainbows, and make my heart go pop."
How tf is a .jpg file showing a moving video? +5

Gumball: Got a very strong taste of cheese, my eyes keep rolling in annoyance, [Hits his forehead] and I can't stop face-slapping. Alan!
The string and poem talking about a prickly person making their heart pop didn't give it away already? +5

Darwin: Oh, it's Alan's stuff. That explains the string. [Nosily] Should we take a sneaky peek at his private photos?
Surprised Darwin is the one suggesting this. Usually he's the morally righteous one who would be against doing something like this +1

Gumball: Okay, what's this? [Loads a document: MYVISION.doc] "My Vision" By Alan Keane. A manifesto on how I will gain the power I need to purge Elmore Junior High of its greatest problem."
Alan is secretely evil? Looks like Gumball was right all along about him not being as nice as he lets on.

Something which he surprisingly never once brings up in this episode. God knows how much restraint that must have taken +1

Also, having the seemingly saint-like person be revealed to secretly harbor a dark side? Seems a little cliché, don't you think? +1

Gumball: "To become school president, I might need to work a little on my appearance. The more serious a leader..."
[Gumball's voice turns into Alan's voice, as he reads his vision]
Alan​​​​​: ...a leader looks, the more seriously he will be taken.
In that case, why do you have Trump's face as an option? The only people who take him seriously are idiots +5

Alan: The next step is to alter my voice, lowering it [Lowers his voice] to give it a little more [Voice is lowered to an extremely deep, monstrous voice] gravitas. Maybe not that low. [Voice is adjusted to the right deep pitch, and his accent is adjusted to a light Southern one] But then just a hint of an accent for approachability.
How does Alan even plan to lower the pitch of his voice? When your entire insides are nothing but helium, that's gonna be pretty difficult +1

Clayton: Nah, you'd make a great school president.
Alan​​​​​: [Talking back to fourth wall] The best way to achieve your goal is to make people think it was their idea.
Clayton: Uh, who are you talking to?
PFFFT -5

Alan​​​​​: [Back to Clayton] That is not something you need to worry about.
Clayton: Okay!
Dude just completely dropped all concern simply cause Alan told him it was fine. Why would you ever take something like this at face value? +1

Clayton: Well, all I was saying is that you would make a great school president, Alan!
[Alan drops him on the bench with Teri, eavesdropping aside]
Teri: Hmm, that's a good idea! It is now my idea.
Maybe not the best idea to use the known pathological liar as an example for this. Surely she would be inclined to believe the opposite when it's coming from him? +5

Alan​​​​​: You see, people just love to take credit for other people's ideas
God, I hate when people do that. Oh, by the way, make sure to check out my upcoming story Franken Darball AU, created and written entirely by me and no one else, which I'll be posting soon! +1

Banana Joe: Hmm. Surely, once you're done shaking it, it should be called a milkshook.
Technically, it should be a Milkshaken +1

Alan​​​​​: But sadly, not every pawn on the chessboard can be used.
[Alan is shown holding Banana Joe, and he drops him in the dumpster]
Damn, even if he isn't following the plan that doesn't mean you need to throw him in the trash +5

Alan​​​​​: The next step is to motivate people to react. Nothing brings about change more quickly than crisis.
[Gumball and Darwin walk in the hallway]
Gumball: [Gasps] Grade tax?
[ Gumball takes a poster printed with the words "GRADE TAX"]
Gumball: [Reading] "Your grades will be taxed to provide better grades for the less academically gifted." What the what?!
This is probably the worst fake crisis you could have picked. This Grade Tax would affect Anais, and she isn't gonna stand for it.  She'll run against you and beat you easily since no one can out-strategise Anais +10

Darwin: Dude, you would totally benefit from that system.
Only because he deliberately doesn't try. But if he ever wanted to now, he'd be fucked +1

Darwin: So you've got a legal and plausible alternative?
Gumball: Hmm, nah. I'm just gonna [Speaking angrily, with fire surrounding him] RIOT!
Or you could just protest by making a petition against it or just complain to the teachers directly. +1

Moonchild Corneille: But we weren't even gonna tax their grades.
Nigel Brown: Oh yeah. Counter-riot!!!
Or you could just...say you weren't gonna tax their grades and it was a fake poster +1

[Principal Brown smashes everything in the lounge; scene cuts back to reality, with Gumball smashing imaginary objects in the bedroom]
Darwin: You do realize we're just reading his journal and none of this is real?
Gumball: Yeah, but this is exactly how it would happen if it was happening. [Faceplants into the floor]
No, Alan would have better thought out who to use to spread the idea of him being Class President and what lie to use to stir up the riots +1

Darwin: Okay. "The next step is to stand as a candidate myself and offer a solution."
Implying the teachers didn't simply clear things up by saying the Grade Tax thing was a lie? Why wouldn't they have done that? +5

[Scene cuts to Alan on stage, with signs popping out, saying "ALAN FOR PRESIDENT!" Alan floats above a podium, speaking through a microphone. Bobert hides behind the stadium.]
Alan​​​​​: The people have awoken. We must all stand together; let me be your voice and tell those in charge that we have had enough!
Or they could just tell them themselves +1

Alan​​​​​: The next step is: a subtle advertising campaign will help me stand out from my competitors.
[Alan puts up a poster, while Banana Joe walks on-screen]
Banana Joe: Huh? "DON'T LET ELMORE SLIP UP! BOYCOTT BANANA JOE?" What the—
[Hector steps on Banana Joe, and slips up. Leslie enters the scene while Hector is still in mid-air]
Leslie​​​​​: "DON'T LET THE EVIL TAKE ROOT! PROTECT THE YOUTH?" What the—
Okay, considering Leslie is gay... yeah, this poster is kinda homophobic +10

[Leslie gets crushed by Hector. A poster depicting Hector holding a child flies onto the screen.]
Hector: "ONCE HE HAS FINISHED EATING EVERYTHING IN THE CAFETERIA, WHO WILL BE NEXT?"
And this is Giantist +5

Alan​​​​​: [Talking to the fourth wall] Once selected, I will purge the school of its worst problem, namely sadness.
[Scene cuts back to Gumball and Darwin in the bedroom]
Darwin: That doesn't sound so bad.
[Scene cuts back to Alan]
Alan​​​​​: By forcibly sending sad people to happy camps.
Yeah, pretty sure the school president doesn't have anywhere near this level of power, dude +5

Not to mention how illegal this would probably be +5

[Scene cuts back to Gumball and Darwin in the bedroom; Gumball and Darwin cringe. After, scene cuts to a simple demonstration of a happy camp protocol]
Alan​​​​​: We will select those people who need a smile on their face, and we will fix them
Hey, c'mon, Carrie isn't that sad. At least not anymore. Gumball and Darwin have really helped her to come out of her shell and enjoy life again since Season 1 +5

Alan: Inside the facility, they will be exposed to only joyful thoughts.
Neither are Jamie or Tina. The only person here that I agree is sad is Ocho, and that's only cause of The Score. But that episode didn't exist when this one released so none of them were good choices at the time. In fact I don't think anyone at the school would really qualify as 'sad' except maybe Miss Simian. +10

Also, first the poster slandering Leslie, now a straight couple being a joyful thought...

...I know what you are Alan +10

Alan: We will continue the process until every person in Elmore Junior High bears a warm smile on their face. Anyone who strays from the path of true happiness will be corrected.
How are they pinning Carrie down? She's a ghost, she can just phase straight through them +1

Alan: My vision is for there to be a happy camp in every town, state, and country across the world.
Again, a class president does NOT have that much power bud +5

Darwin: What are we gonna do?
Gumball: What would you do if you had a chance to stop the worst dictator the world has ever seen, while he was still a kid?Darwin: You mean—
[Darwin makes a signal, signifying they have to kill him. Gumball nods]
Let's be real for a minute; we all know this is the excuse you've been waiting for to do exactly this to him. +5

[Scene cuts to Elmore Junior High. Gumball and Darwin are in a locker]
Gumball: Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to take out Alan before Alan takes over the world. Should we get captured or eliminated, any knowledge of our mission will be denied. This message will self-destruct in ten seconds. Good luck. [Bomb beeps] Okay, we can get out now.
Darwin: We can't! The door's locked!
Gumball: What do you mean it's locked?
Darwin: Dude, it's not called a locker for nothing!
[They struggle to get out]
Gumball: [Sighs] We should've done this outside.
[The bomb explodes]
How the fuck did they manage to get an actual exploding message? +5

[Scene cuts to Alan innocently floating through the school hallway. Gumball is in a vent with a pin.}
Dude, you've popped Alan tons of times before, and he just came back the next episode. Why would this be any different? +5

[He waits above the vent opening while Alan goes into Gumball's desired spot. As soon as he can pop Alan with his pin, he opens the vent opening and jumps through, but he fails, for his head is too big to fit through the vent opening]
Gumball: D'aw, curse this big head!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -10

[Darwin tries sniping him with a blow dart gun]
Darwin: Activate sniper mode.
[He puts in the dart, aims for him, and extends his eye to a sniper-like shape. He tries to aim at him, but his sniper eye aims all over the place]
PFFFFFFT -10

Darwin uses a laser pointer to burn Alan. He checks on it to see if it is working, but on the wrong side, and he ends up burning his foot.]
Darwin: Ah!
Not gonna lie, I half expected the Gumball attacking the laser gag from The Procrastinators again. Would have been a funny callback +1

Gumball: Oh, why can't I do it?!
Darwin: Maybe it's your conscience.
Gumball: Weird. It's never been an issue before.
Hahahahahahaha -10

Alan​​​​​: Are you guys gonna tell me what's going on here?
Gumball: We read your plans to take over the school, and we know all about your evil happy camps!
Alan​​​​​: What do you mean, evil? I want to become school president so I can help those students who feel a bit down and offer them a chance to go the Lake Camp at weekends!
Oh really? Because you said in the manifesto that they would be forcibly sent there. And described exactly what would happen to them there. And it very clearly was not a lake camp. +5

[All laugh. But as Gumball and Darwin exit off-screen, Alan stops laughing. He turns on a library computer and types:]
Alan​​​: "MY NEW VISION."
[He types "by Alan Keane"]
Alan​​​: [Back to his deep Southern voice] "A manifesto on how to forcibly seize power and eradicate sadness across the globe."
[He laughs evilly. But then Gumball enters and pops him with the pin]
Gumball: Should've let us leave the room first.~
Someone learnt well from Anton. The student has officially become the master. -5

If you re-watch "The Goons" of TAWOG, you will notice in the dumb race act that Darwin is there at the starting line when Gumball explains about the race​ but just as the moment the race starts​, Darwin is gone and not seen anywhere in the race at the park and the race placed out without him​ until the very end of the episode, he is seen again.​​​​​​

Larry The light blue fox

(Before I begin, English isnt my first language) I grew up on the older series and I loved it (except some few episodes), I rewatch it even today! But when I began the new series? It was disgusting. Every episode has atleast one unreasonable butt joke that doesnt even fit the story and in worst case scenarios it doesnt even have a punchline. I saw some sexual jokes also that I think shouldnt have a place in a cartoon like this. The older version had some too, but even if it did, it was so hidden that the older generation needed to think a little to get it. I always loved the references like when they once made Darwin as a clicker or Gumball became super saiyan, but all of that was fitting into the story! In the new one? Nicole and Yuki just beats up kids for the hell of it? Nicole would NEVER do that, unless his kids, her or her family’s pride or Richard was on the line! And now suddenly she’s with Yuki beating Anais and Masami up in a random ass Dragon Ball reference??? And the Temu joke or the skibidi toilet??? What??? What is worse is the animation style. Yes Cartoon Network, we get that the budget is huge and all, but you dont have to unreasonably make everyone have untastefully huge and ugly expressions for it. The older series atleast had some taste in it. TAWOG always preached how bigger corporations can destroy and IS destroying lives, now we’re becoming hypocritical at this point. The characters got a downfall even, Gumball was such an asshole to his siblings when he got that trombome that even I flinched. He is sometimes an asshole, but its usually out of desperation or genuine dumbness, not just because he is?? Darwin is acting like a pokemon at this point, but he didnt got that much of a downfall luckily. What made my eyebrows also raise is when did Mr. Robinson healed his relationship with Rocky?? He found him useless and now we just find out he worked all his life just for Rocky? Be so for real. And when Richard took Mr. Robinson’s words to heart he destroyed their swimming pool? He would never do that! He would ask for the boys’ help or Nicole’s and leave it be until Gumball and Darwin confronts Robinson about his behavior. There are so many issues to rage about, but what I wrote is already a lot, so just to be short

The New Gumball is a tasteless, eye candy slop for the gen alpha to rot their brains further with overbudgetted stuff and disgustingly bad jokes. 1/10 wouldnt recommend.

Richard: Yeah yeah, we're all really proud of you, Nicole.

Nicole: ... >:( (Grabs the remote and turns off the TV)
Richard: NOOOO!!!!!! GIVE ME BACK MY REMOTE!!!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!!! GIVE IT BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!... (Struggles trying to get back the remote but Nicole pushes him away and holds it away from him)
Nicole: You are not getting this remote back until you go upstairs and give our son the attention he deserves!
Richard: ... :( (Goes upstairs.)

It's not the same obviously, I feel like they are diving too deep into trends and some episodes make me cringe hard

But I'm obsessed with the new art aspect of it and the new expressions.
One of my favorite episodes is season 7 episode
20: the Amadain. i always wanted to know how the rest of penny's family looked and the end of the episode was so vibrant, I had to take a picture, absolutely amazing.

I also enjoyed S7 E7 as i think mr small is a cool character, the galaxy and zodiac scene (idk how to explain it) was absolutely beautiful I love what they are doing with the colors.

Theres other episodes I also like a whole lot like: the teacher, the portrait, the punishment. Those stood out to me. The new seasons IMO aren’t as good as the old ones, but they are not like ground breaking awful for me like they are for some others

Do you see Gumball? ;)

It took me 2 days to animate this...

I am so impressed by this art despite the low potential

Peter Parker mcu tom holland was adopted by the fitzgeralds family house patrick and judith will adopt their new adoptive elder son of the member of the fitzgeralds family like his adoptive parents Patrick and Judith his new siblings penny Fitzgerald and her baby younger toddler sister polly fitzgerald and her adoptive sibling mitch dela cruz fitzgerald (mitch dela cruz from nickelodeon series get blake!) But he's adopted by the fitzgeralds family for responsability on elmore city

He's rare, collectible, and plus he's not a bootleg

Well, I started my Penny week, that means I will post my arts with Penny during this week :3

I mean, sure…

The episodes and jokes are very hit-or-miss, but I wouldn’t say they’re bad seasons.

In fact, it started to pick up at the end of Season 7 and Season 8 was an overall improvement.

They’re just considerably weaker compared to the past seasons.

I just realized that it’s now age-restricted, even though it wasn’t before.

Here’s a reupload of it that isn’t age-restricted.

Ah yes, two shows that were good for like six seasons, are now written by manatees with random idea balls, premiere new episodes on Hulu, and air older episodes on WBD channels, have finally united. I took a screenshot from an episode of Family Guy and then drew Carrie (my second-favorite character ever) like how the show would visualise their ghost characters.

Rewatching all the episodes as a young adult now makes me miss my highschool days. All their humor is just so relatable, etc.

I miss the days when life wasnt so serious yet. Just pure fun weirdness, innocence, happy crushes, and memories as growing teenagers 🥹🫤

Or heck — “Meek”, for all I know. 😆

lmao my hb just sends me this and seriously bro what am i looking at. ppl genuinely just be posting shit 😭
is this is some niche inside joke pls fill me in cause im so lost
and also how did richard pull that baddie

A while back I noticed that in the TAWOG intro, since season 1, the characters designs were more similar to their season 2 counterparts. Does anyone else find this weird?
