Okay, so there happens to be this other show about a kid, and his adoptive brother pet. Coincidence? It can't be! I'm disgusted by this! It acts like Miracle Star is the rip off, but The Amazing World Of Gumball is the real one! They ripped off all Miracle Star episodes! PLUS, Miracle Star came out WAY before The Amazing World Of Gumball did. Disgusting. Hopefully whoever the creator of Miracle Star is finds out, and sues Ben Bocquelet pathetic ass!

This show's humor is based almost solely on either references to pop culture example being Dragon Ball Z and some other famous anime shows in the pretty lame anime episode they did there's also references to Batman Alien Gremlins and other classic movies from the 80's 90's or whenever. The other source of "humor" is pure absurdity and I like absurd humor when done right like Monty Python or even a cartoon network example like Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The latter being characters just acting crazy or doing weird things for no real reason and set up properly its comedic timing is pretty bad and as a result all of its jokes fall flat as I can't remember one laughing once while watching this show they're not really joke even more just funny things like a character throwing up on another character a character saying or doing something stupid etc. I know what you're thinking I'm one of those people who hate modern cartoon network and views the world through red tinted nostalgia glasses. Well I'm not because even the classic cartoon cartoons had their bad episodes Dexter's laboratory final 2 seasons were rife with clichés bland animation and bad writing but had a few good episode in between but not enough like older seasons had. And honestly upon re-watching it as an adult I didn't find powerpuff girls to be that good or funny the animation was fine but lacked in the humor and plot areas and as a great man once said (ironically) "a special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing" a quote which will also come into play later in the review. Now there were some good episodes in powerpuff girls but the pilot which is supposed to drive the show was boring and unfunny which says a lot about it. Cartoon network for me has been dead since 2010 when started to bring in new crappier shows and began airing less classic cartoons on both cartoon network and even boomerang which was made to air classic cartoons now it just runs reruns of newer shows. Adult Swim is currently the source of any good shows on cartoon network but still most of them suck too with the exception of the Samurai Jack which came back a few months ago and was pretty good and the only reason I would watch cartoon network for a while until it ended. Anyway back to The Amazing World Of Gumball. Really though this show tries too hard to reference pop culture in lieu of actual jokes they reference famous movies books songs video games and expect the audience to laugh because it's something they recognize kinda like Robot chickens crappy jokes but toned down for kids. I mean I utterly hate every episode I've ever seen of Gumball the age of smart cartoons that can appeal to adults as well as children is dead despite what pedo/zoophile bronies may think. And even just adult cartoons seem to suck too Southpark is now bland and tired though that show was only good for the first few seasons then it became overly preachy stupid and left wing kinda like family which it mocked but has now become, and same goes for the Simpsons, it's no longer innovative or inspired it's just bland and stupid like Gumball as well as pretty much all other cartoons on Cartoon Network, Disney, or Nick now.

Whenever this show is on in my house it makes me long for a lobotomy. It's so loud; so loud in fact that I can't even hear the jokes. I'm now jealous of my parents who got to watch Rugrats and Doug instead of this stuff. I always look for moral or ethical lessons in my kid shows and this has none.
