people prefer kneejerk reactions.

I like Gumball, Its a lot more entertaining than most other shows I watch with the kids. Really Teen Titans and Gumball are the only ones I enjoy too.

This episode was not about a gay agenda.

I'm not talking about the content, I'm talking about the actual animation.


No doubt...first time I saw it I thought it was strange. In this case I grew to like the mixed media way they do it on here. The writing is REALLY funny.

But yeah...stuff like Regular Show and Adventure Time and many others have a messed up look. Guess it goes back to Ren & Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead.

Yep...much like Bugs Bunny and many of the Loony Toons cartoons, these shows tend to make points on both the kid and adult levels. In this episode, for instance toward the end, Gumball turned the temp down in the shower so it was all cold on Hotdog Guy, and when he came out of the shower he was all shrunken! Kids aren't gonna get that joke, but it's not aimed at them.

Right. It's about awkward relationships you have with people and refuse to break because you don't want to be the bad guy. And like Scruffy pointed out, it ought to trigger gay people because most of the time Gumball and Hotdog Guy are acting grossed out by "having" to huge each other.

Ok I watched the whole episode and laughed. I still think they fricked in the tent though. Part of the escalation.

It's Gumball. He has a girlfriend.


It's weird it's goofy, and the whole episode they're both weirded out by each other over a random hug that escalates to this tent scene.

Sorry if I struck a nerve by calling out your agenda. Nothing personal. I'm not discriminating against your people by not wanting sexual or romantic inferences, gay or straight, in children's cartoons.

And yes, it is deliberate, unless you think the creators of the cartoon just accidentally included the last part with the two boys hugging, then a shadow of them continuing to hug in the tent, then the scene with the kid tired from not sleeping the night before because...why?

Your people do have a place in society, just not so much in children's cartoons.

Because they both hate this situation of being nice because they don't want to be a jerk.

But whatever man. It's not like immediately after they spent a whole night hugging because neither wanted to be a jerk that they then go into trying to be the bigger jerk (by being nice by being a jerk) so they can end the fake friendship.

Cannibalism gets involved.

But no it's homosexual agenda when the cat has spend the whole series chasing a shape-shifting peanut moose girl
