    You should do a top ten best gumball episodes because when the show is good, it's stellar. When they know what they're doing, they can create some beautiful, well developed characters, break the boundaries of animation, have some clever meta humor as well as the classic slapstick, heartwarming and emotional stories, and deliver some fantastic social commentary. And some of the best episodes of this show combine all of that into one 11-minute episode. That's how great this show is or can be

      Strider cares, he is not just a TH-camr, he is a human being with thoughts and emotions. How would it feel if you saw this episode and knew of how many people are in abusive relationships? See something, say something, do something. There have been times where the police have arrived too late to save the victim, so Strider is possibly saving lives here.

    Bullying is something that can also lead to bad things but it seems like people only focus on "The girlfriend" episode because Jamie was being abusive but I don't really hear people hating on her even though she's literally a BULLY, she physically hurts people and "The girlfriend" is the episode where people FINALLY start to notice!?

      At the end of the day, bullies and the abusive partner in an abusive relationship know what they're doing is wrong, by and large. No amount of yelling at someone "You bully someone, that's wrong!" will make them stop, and the same goes from abusive partners. It was a stupid episode that acted poorly on an issue. That's life. Maybe the lesson should be to learn your values from your family and community, not the TV.

    • @nervousgreg
      @nervousgreg 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I think the point he was trying to make is that the episode might give kids the impression that being a beautiful girl will make everyone worship you, so if everyone isn't worshipping the ground you stand on, you must not be beautiful or there's something wrong with you. I'm not personally bothered by the episode (though Darwin's creepy stalker behavior is a bit unsettling), but I guess I could see how some kids might be confused by it's "message", even though the message is suppose to be a joke. I guess depending on your perspective it could be taken the wrong way but I would hope kids wouldn't take it THAT literally.

Although that would make them simp less)

      Oops. There already is an episode EXACTLY like "The Girlfriend" in Family Guy. Let me introduce you to "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q". Check it out yourself, but be warned, it's one of the most disturbing, uncomfortable and disrespectful episodes in Family Guy.

    • @furballtheraichumovedaccou6095
      @furballtheraichumovedaccou6095 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Can you just tell me the plot?

    • @lindsayp9544
      @lindsayp9544 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Here's the plot from the Family Guy Wiki (although I am giving you a Major SPOILER WARNING as a huge chunk of the plot is spoiled, and another warning because this episode is about abusive relationships and features auto-erotic asphyxiation (intentional restriction of oxygen for sexual pleasure) and murder.) :
      When Peter and Joe return from a fishing trip with Quagmire was suspiciously absent, they check on him to find he tried to hang himself in auto-erotic asphyxiation. While Quagmire recovers from his "accident" at the hospital, his sister Brenda and her abusive boyfriend Jeff come to visit him. While Quagmire is unconscious, Brenda sings him a childhood nursery rhyme to help him recover causing him to wake up. Despite Jeff's complaints, Brenda agrees to take care of Glenn while he recovers. As the entire neighborhood is kept awake with Jeff's rants, Lois tries to talk to Brenda about leaving Jeff on a day out at a restaurant. When Brenda suspiciously continues to wear sunglasses inside the restaurant, Lois discovers Jeff gave her a black eye. Brenda tries to justify Jeff's treatment to Lois' disgust.
      At The Drunken Clam, the guys discuss Jeff and Brenda. Quagmire worries that some night Jeff may actually kill her but Joe claims he can't act until after the fact (This episode has no idea about how the law works...) and suggests an intervention. Most of the intervention goes badly with Meg suggesting that Brenda change Jeff, Chris getting mad at Joe for calling him the wrong name and Peter changing the topic to smoking cigarettes, but Glenn makes a "heartfelt plea" -
      "Brenda, the fact that you are being abused has affected my life in the following ways: The sister that I knew and loved growing up no longer exists. The person I see before me now is just a punching bag. And I call you 'person' and not 'woman' because a woman is a strong, beautiful, vibrant creature. A woman embraces life. A woman makes choices to make her life better. Sadly, the fact that you are with Jeff, proves to me that you have made a choice to make your life worse. I-I want the girl I grew up with back. I want I want my sister back." (Heartfelt plea? As if.)
      - and seems to have won over his sister until Jeff walks in. When Glenn tries to show Jeff the door, Jeff has Brenda announce that they're getting married because she's pregnant. Later that night over cards, Glenn continues to worry about Jeff's treatment of Brenda. When Joe comments that he wishes they could just beat him up, Glenn jumps on the suggestion and even recommends they kill him. Joe tries to put the brakes on the plot, but just then they witness Jeff ranting and striking Brenda and agree to waste him.
      The guys go over to Quagmire's house and invite Jeff on a midnight hunting trip. While in the woods, Jeff claims he is surprised that Quagmire would invite him as he knows Quagmire hates his guts. Peter nearly slips the plot and Jeff goes off to take a whiz. Quagmire picks up his gun and says he's determined to just shoot Jeff when he returns but Jeff slips up from behind and points his gun at Quagmire's head. After ranting at Glenn, he smacks him to the ground. Joe reaches for his shotgun, but Jeff threatens to shoot Quagmire in the back of the head. Joe is momentarily stunned when he suggests they all put the weapons down and Jeff complies. When Jeff asks if they will also follow though on Joe's promise to forget the entire thing, they agree but Quagmire refuses to let it go. Jeff knocks Peter and Joe unconscious with the butt of his shotgun and takes Peter's car with Glenn out deeper into the woods intending to kill Quagmire. Glenn challenges Jeff's manhood, saying he has to shoot someone and Jeff agrees readily to do the job with his fists. Jeff beats Glenn senseless and then proceeds to strangle him until he collapses. Jeff grabs a shovel to bury the body only to be illuminated by the car's headlights. When Jeff is surprised that Glenn is still alive, Glenn shouts that he strangles himself everyday and runs down Jeff, crushing him against a tree. When then guys arrive back at the house the next morning, they find Brenda in tears over Jeff's failure to return. They give her a note they faked explaining that Jeff thought it would be best if he left. As Brenda breaks down in tears over Jeff, Peter notes that he wishes he could kill someone else and gets an idea about Mort Goldman.

      @sania3518 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Now I personally understand that Gumball and Darwin deserved a consequence for calling Richard stupid, but it is a bit overboard for Nicole and Anais to reject Gumball and Darwin. They're forced to shower outside, eat outdated or infested foods which makes them grossed out and somewhat starve, and are constantly yelled and denied anything by Nicole and Anais. And in the end, this torture of Gumball and Darwin makes them try to make Richard feel like a hero? I understand that Nicole is quite aggressive when she's angry, but for Anais to side with her after the abuse she gave the two siblings is kind of crazy. The episode may not be as bad as Strider described it, but it isn't one of the best if you overview it. Opinion respected, I definitely can understand if you liked the episode.

Setting boundaries, communication, remembering how important you are as an individual and not just as someone's object of affection, these and more are all vital things in relationships.
    I am genuinely appalled that that episode was made and aired. That message they're trying to say, that the person who got abused is at fault for speaking up, that is some of the most blatant and disgusting victim blaming I've heard of in a story like this.

    It would've been nice for Darwin to actually tell Jamie himself and for Jamie to either learn from him leaving her or for Darwin to like get help for himself (and possibly for her) if she didn't learn from that experience, because some abusers or toxic people don't see the error of their ways, even when it's pointed out to them. Just feels like a missed opportunity for a powerful message.

The best part about it was that I found myself a lovely new girlfriend whom I treat with respect and care, and she treats me the same way, whilst she is trying to date the underclassmen and failing because everyone has heard what happens.

To me, people who hurt others for no good reason are some of the worst people imaginable, and those that simply try to take advantage of others and expect to give little to nothing of value in return are just as awful. Even with that being said, nobody should have to feel unhappy, and we should all be with people that actually want to do so. It makes us feel like we matter, and nothing is more important than that. I hope the relationship you've found with this person is something that lasts a lifetime. After what you've been through, you deserve it!

The end was definitely forced but it had potential, and if it wasn’t sooooooo dramatic it could have been very sad and emotional.

I wanted to leave my ex because he was a serial cheater and liar. He somehow convinced me to stay by saying he was sorry, it won't happen again etc. But it got to the point where he said he would *unalive* himself if I broke up with him.

    The view on "The Girlfriend" was one I never considered.

      The issue is that the show itself *affirms* the "let them figure it out for themselves" by having Jamie actually figure it out for herself. It'd be one thing if Darwin finally learned to stand up for himself and get back at Jamie, but that's not what happens, and it sends a message that abusive partners will just change on their own, when that *rarely* happens in real life.

      Ragnaric Studios The last Line was a joke. But 99% of the rest of the episode is stressing really hard that Gumball is right and Darwin was enabling Jamie. After watching this list, I watched through the episode fully and it’s actually one of the best imo. It sends a VERY clear message about abuse and just how far enablers will go to justify doing nothing about their relationship.

    All I have to say after watching you talk about the subject of the #1 choice is....as a person who has friends who have been in situations like that, thank you for standing up to the monsters who wrote this garbage, giving people in these unfortunate scenarios the words of wisdom and comfort they need, and fighting the good fight *applauds you*

    I kinda enjoyed "the hero"
    I hated the way gumball and Darwin were treated, but I thought the song in it was sweet and the ending (despite being cheesy and kinda forced) was pretty cute
