That's kinda my problem. A lot of Gumball episodes parody certain tropes and stories but this one is so confusing. I wasn't sure how much we're supposed to take ti seriously. If it's serious, the characters are too unlikable, if it's comedic, it's not only not funny but some parts are played too seriously like Joe going on how how distant he feels or that "Sweet' moment. It's all over the place.

Honestly, I didn't quite consider the "supposed to show Gumball" at his worst thing because it doesn't really feel like that. As i said, in execution it's very confused.
