Gumball and Penny is really like an improved version of Richard and Nicole. When Penny and Nicole gets angry, they get really scary and turns into something huge and most of the time, it's Gumball and Richard who gets them angry and got them in trouble. But the difference is that Gumball is more matured and smart than his father and Penny controls her anger and patience better than Nicole. But I still love the both couple so much.
There's a chance Gumball won't end up lazy as Richard tho because Nicole is raising him, there was an episode where it shows how the kids became lazy and stupid because of bunny Jojo raising them for a day.
Well... Richard couldn't mature well, and Nicole didn't have a good childhood that we can say because of her parents, I think that in spite of everything they made an effort to make Gumball not go through the same thing and have a better childhood and development that they couldn't have , Gumball was able to grow up and be happy and Penny was able to have more self-esteem and confidence
It seems like she has the most character development. And that's nice. Because she's a really good character. Shame about her family disagreeing with practically everything she wants to do.
@@thalassaer4137 nah, it's more of her instability of emotions without moral support which her shell formerly restrains that can pose a threat to others that they r worried about in that sense
LudwigRULEZ 1702 the thing I love about penny is, her power to turn into anything at once. The ship with gumball, because that’s the best one in the series by a long shot. She looks fire when she came out of the puberty shell basically, she’s sassy and stands up for the ones dear to her
Gumball: Wait, you were following us the whole time? Penny: No, Polly was using the Force to appear to you as a hologram. Gumball: Right, I'm sure there's an explanation for that too- Penny: *¡OF COURSE SHE WAS WITH YOU!*
The knights, the party, and the dream. Its subtle but effective moments. “No I’m not. No I won’t.” “I didn’t know you liked lizard breath.” “Look if you wanted me to eat the blue one then why did you bring two?”
@@ashokadhshd3438 ik. Oh yeah. I love the meddler. “I love you.” “What?” “I meant, peanuts. I love peanuts.” “Gumball. I am a peanut. That’s like saying I like to eat cats.”
She needs more screen time... especially after she had four speaking roles in season five, and did not appear in "The Gift", "The Comic", "The Stories" (I wish everyone not appearing in that three episodes (or at least one or two of them) and in Miss Simian's class would appear)
She's becoming the 2nd Nicole and she didn't even have the same training that she went through. I guess it takes someone similar to their mom to be Gumball's partner who is a godlike being.
Penny is one of my favorite characters on this show she is so adorable and lovable not mention a huge sweetheart. She is without a doubt one of the best characters on the show.
penny and gumball are actually a lot more similar than people say. Gumball and penny are both sarcastic and can have their sassy moments but penny does it in moderation and is mostly just nice to everyone which is what gumball tries to be like, they both influence eachothers personalities which I find cool
I can't believe my ears that Penny's voice shared as Nicole's Voice as Teresa Gallagher as Penny she acts like a Teen girl but Nicole she acts like the Real Mother
Gumball turned Penny from a "good girl gone bad" ever since they got together she was so innocent but she's more sassy and I loving it 💕💕🤣🤣 Gumball and Penny are the same person 💯💯💯
Btw... Fun fact, the reason why gumball didn't recognise Penny in the inquisition after she was forced to become human by Rob... Is that he forgot about her previous self, look carefully at the shoes she wore back then and before she rages at gumball for not recognising her, they r the same
So penny is the same voice actor as Nicole and I’m just woundering how old is the actor of them soooo can one of you comment because I’m to lazy to search it: how do I have almost 400 likes thank y’all so much Edit:almost been a year
Its nice how she become more confident throughout the years. I kinda wish we would get to see penny's parents (without their shells) showing their true forms. Yeah, I know its not gonna happen but I kinda wish we did. It would be cool to see their true forms and not just penny.
I don’t think “underutilized” can begin to describe the state of Penny Fitzgerald in contemporary _Gumball._ You know, I didn’t think I was expecting too much from the series or the writers. I thought Penny would accompany Gumball on a couple of misadventures and grow as a character along the way. “The Shell” certainly gave me the impression we would be seeing more of her. I didn’t expect her to become a character as prominent as any of the Wattersons, but I thought she would have an undeniable presence in the series regardless. Reasonable enough, right? I thought so at least. I thought many things. I thought she would receive two to three major roles a season, with several minor parts accompanying these episodes. Together, these appearances would have granted her ample opportunity to be developed, and would in turn have established her as an important character. I thought she would learn to overcome her insecurities as she explored the world without her shell, discovering her true worth as a person with the help of Gumball. I thought she would shape-shift more often in the same vein as “The Shell” and later “The Romantic”. I figured she would discover new forms over time as she came to grips with her abilities and ultimately gained control over them. I thought her relationship with Gumball would be developed, that their bond would be tested, enduring in spite of the challenges they face and the differences they have. I presumed we would learn more about how the two complete each other and what makes them work together. I thought I wasn’t expecting too much from the show or the writers. Reality ensued. I didn’t think her presence would become so scarce as to be nonexistent. The majority of her roles after season 3 - “The Misunderstandings”, “The Ex”, and “The Mess” respectively - only have her play peripheral bits, opting to shove her to the sidelines while the rest of the cast gallivant around the screen without her. What little attention she is afforded past season 3 takes the form of “The Romantic” and “The Transformation”, *88* episodes and two seasons divided. As a result of this profound neglect, she has transitioned from an important character to an elaborate background fixture, far removed from both the greater narrative and the mind’s of the writers. I didn’t think her speaking roles would dwindle away to the point there is a real possibility she will only speak three times in season 6. I didn’t think she would start disappearing from the background - a consequence of her appearances from season 4 onward amounting to only a third of what they once were. I didn’t think the writers would ignore the revelations made in “The Shell” and never again touch upon the nuances that make her a three-dimensional character. I didn’t think her shape-shifting would all but vanish after season 4, with “The Romantic” marking the final time it would be featured in a capacity beyond cheap, disposable punch lines (barring an honorable exception for “The Blame”). Following the events of “The Blame”, *68* episodes would pass before her abilities would return during “The Transformation”, in a conflict revolving around the ramifications of her breaking free from her shell. Despite her shape-shifting and the removal of her shell going hand in hand however, it’s not addressed by her inexplicably oblivious parents, even as she proceeds to transform from across the table. Twice. It’s an oversight that is as perplexing as it is egregious. I didn’t think she and Gumball would have grown further apart after they became a couple, their romantic interactions becoming scarce before essentially disappearing altogether during season 5. “The Romantic” would be the last instance in which a story centered around their relationship; as of this writing, there are *97* episodes that have since aired. This is all further compounded by how estranged the two have become as a result of the negativity that is rife in their recent interactions. Their dynamic has devolved into one of apathy and ire, where if Gumball isn’t regarding Penny and her plights with relative indifference (“The Ex” and “The Transformation”), he instead infuriates her with his ignorance and incompetence (“The Misunderstandings” and “The Mess”). The love that once defined their bond is no more than a faint memory, a fleeting light in times where Gumball would sooner fawn over his nemesis than stand up for Penny when her parents attempt to force her back into her shell. And finally, I didn’t think I would one day find myself on TH-cam composing what has become a ludicrous harangue, and all because of the fondness I have for an incandescent, shape-shifting, cartoon jelly fairy. In the end though? I thought wrong. (It remains to be seen if the final seven episodes will do anything to rectify these grievances. Penny’s character arc was laid to rest during “The Transformation”, quashing any hope that it would ever be elaborated upon. Likewise, her shape-shifting being glossed over in the same episode - contrary to it being a direct consequence of her forgoing her shell - suggests a similar fate will befall her mercurial form. Her relationship with Gumball may yet see a resurgence, albeit with a flagrant disregard for punctuality.)
@@1Lukeskywalker202 I can’t say I was expecting anyone to stumble upon this, much less take the time to read it, but I suppose stranger things have happened! I would be remiss if I didn’t first mention I amended my original comment to elaborate on my thoughts regarding seasons 5 and 6. I don’t want to give off the wrong impression for the sake of a throwaway joke. I’m not surprised our views align in the series’ (mis) handling of Penny, judging by your video description alone. Do you also mean to say you’re not a fan of seasons 5 and 6? I feel like I’m in something of a minority there. I don’t hate it, but I can’t help but be disappointed in what Gumball has become over the years. Secret clone? I don't know, let’s find out. How do you feel about Darwin and Carrie going . . . nowhere? I hope I'm not the only person who thought so much more could be done with those two. I suppose the couple never had a chance, what with Gumball and Penny being all but abandoned, but I was hopeful nonetheless. I guess I learned my lesson.
@@CloudCForever I'm not the original creator of the video, but you may as well count me as another εcho because I share a lot of the same sentiments. - The show's inability to maintain the relationship between Gumball and Penny has made "The Shell" seem meaningless in the long run unlike what the ending to that episode would have one believe. Penny missed out on the opportunity to be fleshed out and become one of the show's strongest characters. - It was very much possible for Penny to have had a much larger and meaningful presence in the show without sacrificing the show's experimental surrealism identity or making it into the _Gumball and Penny_ show. The other end of the extreme sounds unpleasant, but what we have right now is a squander of potential. - Honestly, given what has become of Darwin and Carrie as a couple, I'm genuinely left questioning why the writers even bothered in the first place. - "The Drama" fails to justify its existence. Yes, it's good fun with a hammy Gumball, but it fails to demonstrate why it matters that Darwin and Carrie are together now. Also, bringing in an ex while also changing elements of Carrie's backstory reeks of a lack of direction. - Seasons 5 and 6 are perfectly serviceable in my eyes, but I find myself returning to the older seasons far more often. They just feel more tightly written. More ironic is that I recently did a write-up on these things, so they're still really fresh on the mind. It's not often such interesting conversation can occur in a TH-cam comment section.
I like that there relationship actually gets to grow and get stronger and isn’t reset after every episode ends then at the end of the series they get married and it’s over.... Like some other show I could mention... AHEM... Phineas and...... ahemmm uhhh nothing
Unreal Galaxy in my defense THAT BEAR IS JUST WEARING A T SHIRT THE PEICE OF TOAST IS ONLY WEARING SHOES AND GLOVES AND THAT DINOSAUR IS WEARING NOTHING AT ALL
I always thought of the shell as Pandora's box and Penny as uncontrollable chaos. I don't think the shell was for nothing. Perhaps the development of the character was that she ended up believing she was a "supreme gods race" or something... and that eventually, perhaps unconsciously, she has something to do with the void consuming that dimension. But maybe we'll never know.
Gumball and penny are just perfect for each other what a cute couple 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 While alone at home slowly getting depressed because I WELL KNOW I AINT GETTING A GIRLFRIEND NOW OR FOR THE END OF LIFE 😡😞😥
Bro I don't know why Penny's family wants to hide from themselves!! And they literally *FORCE* the own daugther to be like them. A bunch of cowards who hide from who they really are in nutshells. Sometimes I think Penny is the only who is sentient of that and her parents disrespect Gumball's family over nothing.
I really like how they made Penny more confident and thus more funny... I don’t care much for the design though. Like, it’s fine, but Peanut with Moose Antler was just more unique to me.
I want to know as a huge Penny Fitzgerald fan like myself what do you like so much about fairy Penny I'll be honest I started liking her a lot more after she came out of her shell too?
The goodest girl and (supposedly) most important character who isn't a Watterson deserves more than a paltry 3. 4 or 5 and if not they've failed us again.
@@1Lukeskywalker202 Yeah defintaly 5 but I don't think that will happen since the most a character had in a season is 3 with Penny herself, Rob and Mr Robinsion but yeah she like you said the goodest girl in the entire show sucks the show stop caring for her much after Season 4 maybe if they didn't focus on annoying and useless characters like Tobias, Ocho Mr Cornille, Hot Dog Guy etc maybe she would've gotten more roles. Also you plan to make more Penny videos in the future I miss them honestly?

- "The Drama" fails to justify its existence. Yes, it's good fun with a hammy Gumball, but it fails to demonstrate why it matters that Darwin and Carrie are together now. Also, bringing in an ex while also changing elements of Carrie's backstory reeks of a lack of direction.
- Seasons 5 and 6 are perfectly serviceable in my eyes, but I find myself returning to the older seasons far more often. They just feel more tightly written.
More ironic is that I recently did a write-up on these things, so they're still really fresh on the mind.
It's not often such interesting conversation can occur in a TH-cam comment section.
I like that there relationship actually gets to grow and get stronger and isn’t reset after every episode ends then at the end of the series they get married and it’s over....
Like some other show I could mention...
AHEM... Phineas and...... ahemmm uhhh nothing
This is why she is one of my favorite characters in this show...
Penny out of her shell kind of remind of Donna Tubbs & Lois Griffin combined
I agree
@@xonnaxaswaterxinternet6813 nice
@@xonnaxaswaterxinternet6813 I agree with that because she has the quiet silence like Lois but full toughness like Donna
@@xoceanxuniversetherapper6240 Penny would almost remind me of Kerry Washington
Awesome
1:08 gave me yung blue vibes
I loved penny until I realized that she's the same voice actor for Gumball's mom, and then I got weirded out.
Yeah, it kind of bothers me a little

Well this is a perfect example of those times when you just gotta *open up* to what you really want to say towards people.

She does make a good point about the characters' fashion
Unreal Galaxy in my defense
THAT BEAR IS JUST WEARING A T SHIRT
THE PEICE OF TOAST IS ONLY WEARING SHOES AND GLOVES
AND THAT DINOSAUR IS WEARING NOTHING AT ALL
Unreal Galaxy her family is the embodiment of oppression
Wow, her and Gumball are a perfect couple. Both of them are snarky and sassy as all get out when they decide to stand their ground
Guys, I can just imagine this:
Penny = Nicole
Gumball = Richard
Gumball and Penny are just too cute together
Yeah, i would fall in love with a girl like that
Agente [REDACTADO] who wouldn’t
Me too
I always thought of the shell as Pandora's box and Penny as uncontrollable chaos.
I don't think the shell was for nothing.
Perhaps the development of the character was that she ended up believing she was a "supreme gods race" or something... and that eventually, perhaps unconsciously, she has something to do with the void consuming that dimension.
But maybe we'll never know.
“Piece of toast”
Honestly she was too underused in this show. She should have gotten more attention, especially after breaking out of her shell.
Penny, The Most Mysterious Character
the bug spray got me everytime lol
Thanks for making this episode nowadays people who make the gumball episodes wont activate comments
This is why penny is my fav
1:48
Do you think this is funny!
You are going back in your shell and that’s final!
This is why Penny is my favorite character from the show
And this is what happens if you spend too much time with Gumball
0:13 and 0:23 what episodes

Darwin (Class Clown)
Anais (Tough Fighter)
Penny (Lovely ShapeShifter)
Baxter (OC) (Underdog)

uh...she can see "everything" through the phone right?
Penny's so sassy that the sweat avoids her mouth
Whoever voice Penny is a fucking badass.
It's the same person that voices Nicole
It could have been “The bug sprayer”
I meant “The poker”
Gumball and penny are just perfect for each other what a cute couple 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
While alone at home slowly getting depressed because I WELL KNOW I AINT GETTING A GIRLFRIEND NOW OR FOR THE END OF LIFE 😡😞😥
Welcome to my world… 😔
... while I know perfectly that I'm way too dangerously unstable to even have a friend... Why not that EH
Penny is more prettier when she came out of her shell
She's so cute!
The bug spray….oh 😢
LOVE PENNY
Bro I don't know why Penny's family wants to hide from themselves!! And they literally *FORCE* the own daugther to be like them. A bunch of cowards who hide from who they really are in nutshells. Sometimes I think Penny is the only who is sentient of that and her parents disrespect Gumball's family over nothing.
I really like how they made Penny more confident and thus more funny...
I don’t care much for the design though. Like, it’s fine, but Peanut with Moose Antler was just more unique to me.
I like how the title says "Penny's"
I want to know as a huge Penny Fitzgerald fan like myself what do you like so much about fairy Penny I'll be honest I started liking her a lot more after she came out of her shell too?
Please let this video be safe from COPPA's deranged presence on TH-cam
I Love penny 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
But does she love you? 🤨
Aidan Barnes right?
Same
@@aidanbarnes4290 era humillaro no matarlo
Penny is a sassy peanut.
It sounds weird xD
The first one is always my fav lol
(Penny) the bug spray (homer) doh
I'm in love 💙💙💙
I just found out that the voice actor of Nicole watterson is the voice actor of penny 💀
Best couple of all time
the bug spray one had me rolling
We need more Penny in the show she the best come on writers give her 3 roles in Season 7 please like she had in Seasons 1 and 2.
The goodest girl and (supposedly) most important character who isn't a Watterson deserves more than a paltry 3.
4 or 5 and if not they've failed us again.
@@1Lukeskywalker202 Yeah defintaly 5 but I don't think that will happen since the most a character had in a season is 3 with Penny herself, Rob and Mr Robinsion but yeah she like you said the goodest girl in the entire show sucks the show stop caring for her much after Season 4 maybe if they didn't focus on annoying and useless characters like Tobias, Ocho Mr Cornille, Hot Dog Guy etc maybe she would've gotten more roles.
Also you plan to make more Penny videos in the future I miss them honestly?
@@PennyFitzgeraldFanI agree 💛!
@@ellaishawilson1904 Yep Penny is adorable.💛
