Why do people complain about the later episodes?

And it became better as time went on

Look at this clip and tell me it isn’t funny as fuck: youtu.be/zvysuMQW4sc

This IS funny but it isn’t “haha everybody is an asshole for some reason” “lol we’re in a cartoon” humor. It’s them reacting to wacky shit.

>her

How did I know just from the title

>Family Guy syndrome
This. I prefer the stupid optimistic Gumball from Season 1 than the snarky critical one

>Funnier
It became louder, it became more annoying, Gumball lost all his heart and because a cynical unlikable douche, the meta humor was boring and unfunny, the jokes got repetitive, the art and animation wasn't as good as the 2nd season, nonstop reliance on stupid faces that existed for the sole purpose of being reposted on twitter and reddit.

there's something about new-gumball's humor that i really dislike.
these obviously aren't supposed to be real characters, they're just strawpeople for the writer to get their hamhanded point out. maybe if they were delivered better it would be funnier and more natural but it just sounds like they're spitting out their lines as quickly and mechanically as possible, like the writers are up their own ass about how observational they are. if that works for you that's fine but goddamn i can't stand it.

the timmy part was funny tho

Later later episodes it stagnated like any show. Season 2 and 3 were full of gold though. Season 1 had an issue of too loud, not enough well done jokes. Was probably the most experimental the animation got but I actually appreciate 2 and 3 for making them feel more like they were in the same world. As much as the joke with Tina is she's cgi in a 2d world, they did a great job actually making hey blend in better post season 1.

Gumball used to be a naive troublemaker with a heart of gold. Later seasons he just turned into a cynical bastard

The humor changed, like others pointed out. Some people prefer the cartoony early season gags

early 2011

Its more like in later seasons he became more and more mischaracterized to the point that he would be naive and sweet in one episode, then a cynical cunt in the next one. This sort of problem began in season 2, and would get worse beyond that.

I have a feeling that a lot of people who rag on later episodes of Gumball don't actually watch the show anymore and just judge it by whatever clips go viral on Twitter, which would naturally tend to be meta stuff. But then again I haven't watched the later Gumball episodes so I can't say for sure.

That’s just British humor

>Gumball used to be a naive troublemaker with a heart of gold. Later seasons he just turned into a cynical bastard
This, I mean I understand why they did it, Gumball's original personality just didn't mesh well with their preference for plots and jokes that involve him being the universe's punching bag, so they made him more of a cynical jerk so that it felt more justified

Also in general the show got too cynical for it's own good, and this was a show that was already way more cynical than it had any right being

The meta humor was bad, but the issues with the later seasons extend fair beyond the meta humor.

They started using more and more memes and internet lingo over time and I always thought that was super lame.

It’s being in touch with your audience

If you want know everything wrong with the last 3 seasons, no episode exemplified these problems greater than "The Understanding"

>spitting out their lines as quickly and mechanically as possible
The later episodes for sure have an issue with too much dialogue trying to fit into eleven minutes.
It also adds an issue where I couldn't actually figure out the context (and really how flawed the joke is) to what the fuck the characters are saying at first because I'm trying to keep up with the characters are saying next instead of trying to piece together everything they had said.

>we have to gatekeep
Unironically yes. Fuck newfags.

Gumball became more of a British show as it went on. Yas Forums is full of Americans.

>Why do people complain about the later episodes
They do? I always hear how the later seasons are better. Granted, I live in Latin America where our memes are funnier than PewDiePie pretending to not be a nazi.

The post-s4 audience who came in from "le adult jokes" twitter memes, and more recently, furfaggotry? That audience?

Literally only the old lady part of that clip didn't involve someone being a massive asshole.

The only audience the writers of this show where going are Twitter users who ook like fucking monkeys when their favorite movie, tv show, or political alignment gets referenced and then actively ignore the rest of the show.
They did not fucking care about the audience of the people who actually watched the show, they did not give a shit about the kids that watched the show because they'll fucking watch anything that's loud and colorful. These kids are the same people that look up to Gumball as an ideal person despite him being the biggest fucking cunt in the entire show.

I remember liking this show because of how every character was radically different from each other design wise and how it had "real life" backgrounds (I honestly don't know if they were actual backgrounds or they were just made in CGI). But now from what I've seen the show turned into everyone making meme faces and throwing pop culture references everywhere

>These kids are the same people that look up to Gumball as an ideal person despite him being the biggest fucking cunt in the entire show
I don't comprehend why the fuck comedic cartoon characters need to be role models for children. What the fuck is wrong with mutt parenting nowadays?

>if i ignore the t-face it doesnt exist

>show completely falls flat on its face trying to give a message
>show ends episodes right when the plot develops
>typically looks like shit compared to the older seasons
>mountains of shit dialogue
>shit use of characters
>but its ok because le funneh faec and ebin reference to much better stories
You are either a very young, got into the show late, a person who got into the show because of Twitter, or any combination of the three.

This

season 2 had the best balance
but season 1's incest allusions were kino

The older it became, the more i liked the show desu.
The anime battle episode was pure cringe and i'm sure there were many more episodes that weren't pretty good either. But i think it took the right path.

The show just became cynical and heartless as it went on. Characters became too smug and the humor too meta and self aware for its own good.

>mountains of shit dialogue

Yeah, even though I know it's AWOG's style to have the characters say some extremely long comparison really quickly as a joke, I never found it particularly funny

Did they seriously mocked the Force Awakens haters ? Talk about trying too hard to be relevant

You're completely right. Every Gumball clip I see on Twitter is usually the same clips about "epic funny meme"/"feminist owned"/"hilarious reaction image" that everyone has already seen. It's fishing for retweets and likes for the same shit shared everywhere.

>Force Awakens haters
More like mocked Star Wars fans in general.
You would know that if you watched the episode though.

The remix they did of Let The Battles Begin was pretty good though.

You are correct.

The what?

Nah, got better stuff to watch than this cynical piece of postmodernism

You know, there isn't much merit in doing those experessions, because it's not like the shape of the head changes, only the facial features change. It's not like Ren and Stimpy, which played with the characters bodies and face shape.

We prefer to be called burgers, jizz waffle

They blend real life backgrounds and CGI elements for things that weren't there in the original picture, like an open window or a couch. I remember watching a quick process video of how they make their backgrounds and some stuff that looked part of the real life image and weren't interacted with were added in with CGI. It was pretty cool.

>Its more like

They are being assholes, but it’s so absurd you can’t really call it mean-spirited. My point still stands.

"Mean-spirited" is such a dumb ass reason to call something not funny, shit like Always Sunny In Philadelphia is "mean-spirited" as fuck and it's hilarious. Just say the jokes behind the asshole-ry aren't funny to you and move on.

Don’t pull the “muh opinion” card, dude. It just isn’t funny when the characters constantly shit on eachother for the sake of shoehorning in unfunny one-liners.

No, it's not even a case of "muh opinion", you're implying "mean-spirited" can't be funny when that's entirely false, You even went into real reasoning in this post, you don't find the jokes themselves funny, the asshole part has nothing to do with it.

I don’t like the mean-spirited shit because it interrupts the flow of certain scenes and came out of nowhere in the later seasons. I like Always Sunny because it was constantly “mean-spirited” and sort of ran with it because that’s what the show was. With Gumball you have random people being weirdly sassy and Gumball and Darwin just being dicks to people. It’s like if Always Sunny just for some reason had everybody being like able, kind characters out of nowhere One season. It’s funny for a gag, but I mean you can’t just change the characters like that with no real indication with the addition of unfunny one-liners. Thats my issue of my first post wasn’t clear enough.
