I suck at using this website.

I don't really think "The Boredom" was designed to be forgettable, but it wasn't an episode that the writers attempted to sell as a stand-out. It's just an episode designed to be uniform and enjoyable, which it is, and a means of throwing out quick ideas that couldn't go anywhere else. It's not sloppy, just loose. The idea that the episode wanted to shift attention more to the supporting cast is interesting, too, but even then, the way everything is focused comes across too much like willingly passing around the baton rather than Gumball and Darwin surrendering screentime; if they just went all the way in that direction, the episode might've succeeded more, because as is, everything boils down to a matter of focus.

Sure, "The Boredom" might be a look at boredom, I can get behind that. But that doesn't mean it has to be as boring as it wounds up being as a whole, right?
