O Incrível Mundo de Gumball

The Amazing World of Gumball is one of those shows I looked at and said, "How can anyone like that?" But like other shows on Cartoon Network it surprised me to see it was actually a well written show.

The show takes place in the fictional city of Elmore inhabited by talking animals, animate objects, tyrannosaur, talking peanuts, and other weird things you wouldn't even expect to live together. The show follows the Watterson family, mainly Gumball and his adopted brother Darwin, and their misadventures.

You got Richard, a lazy stay at home dad with good intentions but small intellect. Nicole who is a typical workaholic mom with a short fuse but deeply loves her family. Gumball and Darwin are your average pre-teen boys who have all sorts of weird interests and misconceptions on girls, adults and life in general. And their sister Anais who is a child prodigy at four years old. Together they get into all sorts of unbelievable situations around their house, school, or city in general.

What I find really appealing about this show are the characters. Each character has a different animation style. One character can be traditionally animated but another can be done in CGI. And another could be a puppet. And another could be an 8-bit video game character. They all have individual character traits and it's really interesting to see all these animation styles really blend together.

The family is pretty close to real life too. I can remember as a kid actually getting into some of the fads Gumball and Darwin do.

This show is still pretty new and obviously has a lot more to offer, but from what I've seen it's worth watching a few episodes. I don't really see anything that bad for younger kids like I do in shows like Regular Show and the adult humor is subtle enough for kids to not know what they're missing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this unique style in the future.

So far I give The Amazing World of Gumball an 8.5

I am a 42 year old man and this show makes me lol consistently. This show is clearly written for me. There are a lot of jokes that will fly directly above the heads of its target audience and at least make me crack a smile, usually laugh, and sometimes raise an eyebrow. If you haven't you owe it to yourself to at least check it out.

This show is one of the apples of our time. I mean, so far, it has some sophisticated humor that makes us laugh, and it is on Cartoon Network. And it's current.

I'd say, it's Adventure Time and Phineas and Ferb combined with Flapjack. I mean, T-Rexes in 2011? That's not on all of the TV shows today.

So far, on Cartoon Network, not many shows are good. The Problem Solverz and Johnny Test are two of the things killing it's rating overall. But this show is something new, something fresh. Check it out! Protecting a store from robbers, wearing a dress to school...it's fun.

I've watched some episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and it's absolutely brilliant. This is one of the best cartoons I've ever watched. It's also very funny and bizarre.

My favourite character is Richard Walterson because he is the funniest character I've ever met. He's an absolute gas.

I'm nearly 27 years old and I'm still watching this cartoon.

I saw the commercial for this show, and was hoping it wasn't going to turn out like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome or Problem Solverz. Although, I don't think anything can be as bad as those. But, surprisingly, it was quite good. I was like, "Here We Go...huh, this is good!" It has laughs, weird, yet entertaining, stories, and funny characters. I'll review the characters first. GUMBALL: A fun-loving, detention-getting blue cat, who could care less about school, grades, and hygiene. Gotta love 'im! DARWIN: A more-hygienic-than-Gumball, orange fish, he cares a tiny bit more about school, doesn't wear clothes (Although you can't see anything), and his legs are 3 times as long as his head. He is playful, considerate, and doesn't make sense sometimes, he is Gumball's brother. ANAIS: A pink bunny, about 1 foot tall, and wears the same baby sun-dress every episode, and is smarter than the whole family combined. RICHARD: Sleep loving, un-hygienic, sausage-eating, fat pink bunny, he's the dumbest and most irresponsible person in the whole family, yet one of the funniest people on the show. NICOLE: The blue cat mom who is always a buzzkill, represents the usual overprotective mom who doesn't stop worrying. I am gonna stop right there for the character reviews because that's really all you need to know, because it is Gumball's family. The voice acting, I thought, was great and hilarious. No complaints about that. I would like to say that I heavily disagree with all of the people who said this show was horrible. Don't listen to them, readers! You would probably like this show as much as I did. You will probably think the parodies of movies and real life are funny and random. Ben Bocquelet did a good job creating this show and probably won't be able to pull off a show like this again in his career (Sorry, Ben). I give it a 9/10 because it is funny random, and not trash like Problem Solverz. Thanks for reading!
