User blog comment:ThatGuy456/A Guy's Thoughts: (Week 4) "New Amazing World of Gumball in February!"/@comment-31194372-20170304235500

Yeah, this week was frustrating.

I think the big issue is that the Gumbomb started off so great and failed to distribute a lot of the bad episodes, meaning that this week was just incredibly slim pickings. Sure, I'll admit that I liked "The Ex" a lot more than a lot of people (which I'll detail later), but "The Sorcerer" was boring and "The Diet" was just... something else.

Like, I just have no idea how to feel about the episode. I really liked a lot of the first half, honestly, but there were sooooo many terrible design choices to the point where it just became really hard to look at Richard. By the time he was pouring water all over himself in the fountain, I was so confused that I started tittering nervously because I was trying to cope with how uncomfortable the whole thing was. The biggest issue, though, is that there were so many better ways to tackle the issue, and the show instead took a decidedly not-very-Gumball route and just threw the whole thing. Gumball is usually the one cartoon that really gets Internet jokes right, but this felt like it was scraping the bottom of the barrel with such intensity that the entire bottom is just obliterated. They're scraping at air now.

(Also, I believe the word you're looking for is "kewl," not "cuwell." I hate that I know that.)
