I believe CN is showing a new episode of Gumball tonight, because of the Dragons: Riders of Berk sneak peek airing before it.

Tonight should be fun. I've missed Gumball.

"The Remote" was great. The gags were funny, the family had dynamic interaction with each other, and there was a nice twist at the end. The new visual look threw me off a little bit, but I quickly became accustomed to it. Overall, this was a fantastic episode to start off season two.

Someone pointed this out at /co/.

>How come you're reading this, this is like 50 pixels on the picture?? Seriously, even I have trouble reading myself while writting this text. You have very good eyes, I strongly suggest you to apply for a plane pilot position, or small animals spotter for a failure tv show.

>Bye

Oddly, I found "The Remote" slightly disappointing first view but much better on the second.

>>186713
I don't know why, but this shot continues to amuse me. Saved forever.

>>186715
Not to mention the other sign:
>Strictly no Kung-Fu in this car park

>>186829

We have gazed upon the true face of evil.

>>186829
I wanted Nicole to smack her on the back of the head. Seriously I get that Richard, Gumball, and Darwin are scared of her due to being stupid incompetent losers. But Nicole BEAT UP Mr. Rex. A guy so fucking scary he has no body and just a carnivorous demonic face in the darkness of the junkyard. And yet Nicole.....fears her daughter? That's bullshit of the highest order.

>>186845
Beware the smart ones.

>>186846
Sorry brah. I can understand a mother fearing her daughter in a more slightly dramatic scenario akin to Azula and Ursas' relationship in Avatar, and the kicker being that Ursa was never afraid of her.

And yet in this slapstick show the mother character who flat out kicks too much ass and is undeterred is afraid of her daughter who is a minor character at best? I'm not buying it. At most I can accept that Nicole allows Anais to get away with some bratty behavior (because she's the gifted one in the family and hence Nicole spoils her), but outright fear in a way similar to Vicky's parents (FOP) or Mandy's parents (Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy)? No fucking way. In those other examples the parents are weakling wusses, but Nicole is not a weakling (neither physically or emotionally). So shit doesn't add up.

>>186848
You're seriously overthinking the payoff to this joke.

>>186848
>And yet in this slapstick show the mother character who flat out kicks too much ass and is undeterred is afraid of her daughter who is a minor character at best?
That's the joke. How are you unable to see this?

I'm watching the Gumball marathon on CN. "The Mustache" is still a great episode and this song is still awesome (and manly).

Amazing world of gumball (because we're men)

Captain Punch is my favorite superhero ever.

I didn't realize he [WASN'T] kicking that guy in the crotch before looking at that screenshot.

A review for the DVD:

>>187825
>Unfortunately unlike many other Adult Swim and Cartoon Network DVDs, there are not a lot of bonus features. There is an introduction to each character in the Wattersons Family, but that’s about it. No creator or cast commentary, behind-the-scenes featurette, or outtakes
But...but...Tvshowsondvd said there would be:
>Behind-the-Scenes material, Animatics, and Episode Commentary
Argh! Why does the world lie to me!?

THE AMAZING WORLD of GUMBALL

>>187837
That sounds like material for a Season set.

Okay, there's something I don't get.

How did 'Penny and her family are deer in some religion involving peanut worship' become such a big drama-bomb?

>>188387
It draws attention to just how fucking retarded religion is.

People HATE IT whenever someone does a good job showing that religion is moronic.

This thread is going to go into a shit direction real soon, isn't it?

>>188430
Only if you allow it.

>>188387
What the hell are you talking about?

>>188387
>>188416
No

>>188543

>>188548

>>188692

Yeah. I'm really liking the new style.

>You will never be second best to Nicole and Toothless

>>189736

Even Gumball is looking forward to Dragons.

>>188714
you mean the writing style or the visuals?

cause I keep hearing this style thing everywhere gumball pops up.

both actually.

Here's the uncut version of Captain Punch seen in The Colossus:

http://yearinmerde.blogspot.ca/2012/09/captain-punch.html

>Since the idea was to get the too violent comic censored by Gumball's mom
Interesting.

Maybe he just forgot the plot.

>>189737
Of course he is. He's glad that he can share a block with something besides Level Up and The Annoying Orange.

>>189860
Or maybe that was the original idea behind it. Gumball did mention his mom not letting him (or his dad) read it.

New episode playing on 9/11

>someone says the theme song sounds like the refrain to "December, 1963"
The Four Seasons - December, 1…

I can't unhear.

Apparently there will be two new episodes of Gumball tonight: "The Flower" and "The Banana". Next week is a repeat of "The Remote".

>there's a lot of things you don't know about me Gumball

Oh, my...

>look through credits
>other voices:
>Brian Blessed

What? Is this just someone with the same name?

Apparently a new episode ("The Phone") aired tonight, but there was no advertising for it and even the episode guides and DVRs thought it was old. Now it's saying there's going to be another new episode ("The Job") Thursday.

>>190404
>https://twitter.com/benbocquelet/status/247462837507727360
>It is the one and only.
Sweet.

The new episodes sucked. I'm kind of getting annoyed by the hippie teacher guy. He's getting a little more and more obnoxious with each appearance.

And I hated the second episode. Richard's wrap was dumb, the dancing bananas joke was also way too long, the concept of Richard getting a job and not being worthless being bad for the universe was just stupid.

However, the only good thing were the gifs. Although I could have done without the scenes of switching sexes and age regression. The fanbase for Gumball is a perverse piece of horse shit like the masturbators for Gravity Falls, so this crap only fuels them more. But from the perspective of just a viewer, those trippy bits were fun. Its just too bad the episode can't be saved by just those snippets.

The phone was alright, I don't think it was bad, but it was paired with The job, wich was amazing so it looks dull in comparassion.

Both episodes were good imo, but the job was so good and had really great scenes, the characters didn't do anything that interesting, but everything that happened around them was what made the episode, it looked spectacular.

>>190967
>the characters didn't do anything that interesting,

yeah, it looked pretty but I tend to have my focus on the characters and story, So they were both meh in my book.

and I'm surprised ocho did not have a Spanish accent or beep boop

I thought 'the Job' was astounding.

In a show like this, presentation is key, and that episode hit the mark on all sides.

'The Job' was no contest as the best episode of the season, if not the entire series. It reminded me of 'A Town Called Panic' in a sense that virtually every scene there can be stand-alone and laugh at.

The Job was aces.

>LONDON - Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting unit said Friday that it has given the green light to a third season of global hit series The Amazing World of Gumball on Cartoon Network.
The first series from London-based Cartoon Network Studio Europe launched last year and has drawn strong ratings for Cartoon Network worldwide. It uses 2D and 3D animation in a live-action setting. . . .

>In the U.S., the second season premiere was the top show of the day among boys 2-11 and 6-11, as well as number one in its time period among kids 2-11, 6-11 and all boys demos, according to the network.

>For the third season, Turner has commissioned 40 episodes. Air dates have not been set, but the show will continue to air on Cartoon Network in over 160 countries.

>"Season two has already seen a big leap in terms of comedy and visual storytelling, and we're excited to see where we can go with a third season," said Daniel Lennard, vp original series and development at Turner Broadcasting. "This is a testament to Turner's belief in the remarkable talents of Ben Bocquelet, [director] Mic Graves and the entire Gumball team."

WHAT DOES IT FUCKING MATTER!?

We all know CN will pull our collars and give this show the hiatus of hell treatment. Young Justice is another show that gets treated like this. To me Gumball is not a show you watch as it goes, you watch it when its canned and you have all access to its seasons on a website.

Gravity Falls is the same way, fuck hiatus hell. Kudos to Regular Show and Adventure Time for not falling into this shit.

>>192815
Hiatus problems aren't necessarily the fault of the shows' creators; the networks play a huge part. Motorcity's first season is completed and ready to be aired, but Disney's sitting on the episodes, with late October supposedly being when they'll start airing them again.

I hate Carrie (don't like the Emo clique), but I'd be lying if I said that Darwin going all alpha on her and claiming her as his own didn't make me laugh. "I can finally do THIS!!!" and after kissing her he left her blushing. HA HA!

Great episode. Better if it was a full half hour with the second half taking place in the Underworld. What is it about all these shows with good concepts for plots, but restrict them to 11 minute shorts?

>>195418

budget.

also tonight's episode was a solid 9/10.

>"What is going on?" "Nuthin'
>Tyrannosaurus QWOP
That is some grade-A superpowered assholery there.

>>195418
>>195425
Actually, it's because they show episode out of order so much.

http://www.formspring.me/jamesdeonlamont/q/296199733171464828

>>195454
Its funny how Darwin went from "What do I need a girlfriend for? *Rachel kisses him* Its all clear to me now." I guess he followed through with Carrie....which doesn't make sense since this attraction was never even hinted at. Never mind that it would make Darwin a necrophile.

But it was hilarious how he left the bitch blushing. Carrie liked being kissed by Darwin.

Early designs and scrapped characters for Gumball.

>Gumball was almost a black cat
>Richard use to be a blue dog

I heard the staff hated Rachel so much they decided to not bring her back to the series ever again. Carrie serves as her replacement as Darwin's shipping partner. (Though it be nice if Carrie serves as Penny's rival over Gumball while Darwin goes with Masami))

>>195505
I've had enough of unrequited love bullshit like in Gravity Falls or Legend of Korra.

Either make Carrie uninterested and kept her single or keep her happy with Darwin. No more no less. As far as Rachel goes, she's served her purpose. She introduced Darwin to kissing and attraction to the opposite sex. Evidently Darwin knew how to take it from there in the Halloween special. Only flaw is Carrie is a ghost...

>>195505
>I heard the staff hated Rachel so much they decided to not bring her back to the series ever again.

Where?

>>195509
Someone asked Ben Bocquelet via Twitter why Rachel wouldn't be coming back and he simply replied they didn't see eye to eye.

In spite of the schedule and still apparently being advertised as premiering Tuesday, "The Treasure" aired today... at 11:30 AM EST.

>freeze-frame on the bank statements
>12 years ago, Nicole was making $950/month
>even accounting for inflation, that's about $15,000/year ($4000 below the line of poverty for a three-person household

I think they forgot to convert from pounds (the $ is even on the wrong side).

>bank statement is dated 1976

OK, now they're just fucking with us.

>>195637
>I think they forgot to convert from pounds (the $ is even on the wrong side)
If it's written as 15,000$, then that's more likely to be a replacement of a € symbol than a £ symbol.

>>195637
does that mean the Watersons (or at least Nicole's family side) were British?

I'm guessing with how The Treasure ended, that was the season finale? (though it wasn't as great compared to The Job and Halloween, in fact i find it the weakest episode of the season)

>>195670
>does that mean the Watersons (or at least Nicole's family side) were British?

No, Elmore is ostensibly set in the US (or a fictional US-like country) and both Nicole and Richard have lived there since they were kids.

The show itself is mostly made in the UK (and a couple different places in Europe) which leads to these kinds of locational inconsistencies with background stuff.

>I'm guessing with how The Treasure ended, that was the season finale?

Not at all. The season is supposed to have forty quarter-hour episode. That was just the tenth.

>Veteran British actor Brian Blessed is set to appear as Santa Claus in a one-off Christmas special of Cartoon Network’s award winning animated series The Amazing World of Gumball. . . .

>The episode in which Blessed is set to appear is titled Christmas and will air on Cartoon Network on Monday December 3rd at 5:30pm. In that episode, Richard accidentally runs over a hobo dressed as Santa (Brian Blessed). Believing that the concussed hobo might actually be Santa, Richard and the kids desperately try to make him remember who he is, whilst Mum tries to stop him messing up her kitchen! Will Santa remember who he is in time for Christmas or will Christmas be cancelled this year?!

>Speaking of Blessed’s involvement, executive producer Daniel Lennard said: “Blessed’s inimitable irrepressible personality and distinct voice was the perfect choice to play Santa Claus”

>>Brian Blessed in anything ever

>>196076
I would not have trouble believing that Brian Blessed really IS Santa Claus.

>>196076
>December 3
That's a Monday. Are they moving the airtime back to with Adventure Time and Regular Show or is it just for the special?

>>196192
That's probably the UK air date.

Tina looks like a Transformer from Beast Wars.

The Words was actually fun. Love the Street Fighter reference.

Lots of SF references lately. Gravity Falls and the cameos in Wreck It Ralph.

to escape the dreadfully bad threads lately, i think it's time we get the hype gears into motion.

think Season 2 will keep up? think season 3 will go even higher?

The show come back next week in case anyone is wondering.

>>202581
Good to hear. I've been feeling bad about missing the last few episodes, so I'll make sure to pin a reminder this time around.

I really can't say I care too much about Gumball. The show itself is very mediocre, but the hiatuses.....my god. The hiatuses that this show has endured has murdered my interest for it just like Young Justice.

>>202626

if there's a moment where you should pick it up it's now for all it's worth.

I like Gumball for the sheer fact that it's all of the creator's unused advertising mascots getting to live a second life, as it were. Anyone who has ever written or drawn a character that never ends up getting used can relate.

Pilot time:

Gumball 1min animation test

that was a great come back imo

although it IS way too similar to the DVD

The Comedy for Animators blog gave a really glowing recommendation for Gumball, believing it to be the best show since Ren & Stimpy. The test pilot is also included, in case anyone missed it:

http://comedyforanimators.com/2013/01/29/amazing-world-of-gumball-test-footage/

A thought occurred when I read that post: Gumball is one of the few cartoons that's still doing visual comedy. While I enjoy Adventure Time and Regular Show, the humor for both shows rely heavily on conversations, giving little room for any funny images or anything that can be considered "cartoony". I can't think of any other show on Cartoon Network that fully embraces itself as a cartoon and just let loose besides Gumball.

>>203992
Ed Edd and Eddy?

And quite frankly best since Ren and Stimpy? No offense, but that's not much of a compliment seeing as how Gumball isn't a particularly good show. It would be better if Anais (obnoxious genius kid sister) and Richard (lazy stupid slob) never existed.

>>203993
I meant currently, but Ed Edd and Eddy is another good example of a cartoony cartoon.

Have you watched the second season? Anais and Richard are portrayed much better than before.

>>203995
The first season gave me a horribly bad impression of the show and the hiatuses of hell destroyed my interest in the show overall. Same goes to other hiatus hell shows like Looney Tunes Show, Young Justice, and Gravity Falls.

>>203996

then you should try them again before weighting in, don't you think?

>>203995
Anais still adds nothing of value to the show, IMO. Richard ... Ehh, I'm not a fan, but nothing anais does entertains me. The only time I've liked an episode with her was the treasure hunt one because she got hr comeuppance for being so bossy all the time.

For the uninformed, a bunch of episode aired in Spain already. It was in English, but the few videos I can find are record-a-TV-with-a-camera quality. CN UK is starting to air new episode again, so hopefully we can get some better ones.

Here's the first one, The Virus:
