I'm surprised how a show with a talking blue cat and an orange fish with legs in a world of horrible, hilarious people with episodes about getting slapped on the ass can make issues such as this so tearjerking and relatable.
The Amazing World of Gumball Club Join New Post. In the episode Rob puts evil magic subtitles on Gumball and they say to Darwin, 'If we hadn't adopted him we would have enough money,' and in 'The Re-Run' they say, 'We should have adopted somthing with more brains, like a carrot.

Was Gumball produced out of wedlock? (If so, that's a pretty cool sad reference to the Simpsons and Bart's birth.)Ī lot of "The Amazing World of Gumball" channels "The Simpsons", especially the early episodes where it had real human emotions, was about a lower-middle class family trying to get by in a seemingly uncaring world, didn't go overboard with the pop culture references, and mocked how much of a farce American suburban life is/was. The fourth season of the British-American animated sitcom The Amazing World of Gumball, created by Ben Bocquelet, aired on Cartoon Network in the United States, and was produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe.The series focuses on the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, a blue 12-year-old cat, along with his adopted brother, Darwin, a goldfish. In both 'The Disaster' and 'The Re-Run' it is officially stated that he is adopted. There are five characters in The Amazing World of Gumball cartoon. I don't know what was worse: that, or the implication that Harold was a womanizer in his youth like his son is now and, if he didn't marry Jackie (who actually puts him in his place, which is why Harold is a wuss now, as mentioned in "The Castle" when Harold tells Richard he can't be himself at home and the brief part on "The Pizza" where Harold is on a leash and barking like a dog while Jackie is clacking bottles on her hands like Luther from "The Warriors"), he would have been a verbally abusive husband who met his end in a mansion fire.
It also helps that this show is from the United Kingdom and rated PG on its DVD releases (and most likely its TV broadcasts, even though the UK doesn't have TV ratings like in America) and the UK PG gets away with more than a US TV-PG rating. The earlier episodes did have their share of risqué jokes, but they were few and far between (I'm binge-watching season one, so that's how I know this).
This show truly does not give a damn about self-censorship or being for kids anymore (if at all).
