Still waiting for Kaiju to come here and fight me in the comments.

I definitely see your point on Harold. Had the episode took the direction I thought it would have, that being Harold just verbally insulting Richard for 11 minutes, I would have hated him as well. However, Harold practically stole the scene for the last 3 minutes of the episode. It's hard not to like it.

The high school flashback definitely has some novelty to it and a few decent gags, but I do see where you're coming from. However, I suppose the novelty of seeing a teenage Richard overrode the fact that the prom segment of the flashback wasn't all too funny.

Trust me: "The Diet" is probably one of the worst episodes in the series, yet. It honestly seems more like an episode of Powerpuff Girls (2016 Reboot Edition) than an episode of Gumball. It's that awful.
