You have to understand that TAWOG isn't a message-driven show; if anything, that's a label it actively works against. (If recent episodes have taught us anything, trying to deliver a message has caused the episodes to become horribly misguided.) At the same time, though, "The Dress" isn't really trying to present a questionable message, either: this is Season 1. It exists to be dumb and juvenile, but there's still that Gumball edge to everything and the desire to look at the implications of its cliched plot, which I enjoyed a lot.
