It's weird. Like, I should have really enjoyed it, and it's been established that I give almost every episode a chance. That being said, it just didn't really click for me. It was probably funny because we have the complete opposite opinion about the episode. And I'm a huge wuss too, so I don't know why I couldn't get into the whole ending segment. Again, it probably circles back to the fact that I think so little of Sussie as a character. I get her use as a cheap laugh, but there's so little nuance or complexity to her that elaborating upon it establishes nothing new at all. Basically, I'm shallow, but so was the episode OOOOOHHHH SNAP 

On gross-out: it's that freaking mucus. If they didn't cut away to Gumball and Darwin cringing when the second bird popped out, I probably would've backed out of the episode for good. It's not the grossest thing in the world, but it's disheartening to see a show like Gumball going that lowbrow for a joke that hardly even works.

I don't think the flashback was any worse than Gumball's idea in "The Check," though I guess he showed some nice deadpan in detonating the universe. I get that it's not representative of the current rendition of the character, but the concept was funny enough, kapoosh?
