That's a great way to ensure adult children that avoid contact with their parents: "Yeah, my dad was a useless piece of crap who never worked or cleaned the house or did anything that would cause him to leave the couch and TV.

It's even hard to even say that he at least loves his children because in "The Meddler," he's too busy watching TV to give Gumball much needed attention, so that fell onto Nicole as well. They're being denied basic life necessities in order to learn to respect the parent that does not bring home a paycheck, does not do any domestic chores, does not contribute to the household in any way, and is content to allow his wife to work double shifts every day then come home to take care of the house and children.

You don't have to essentially deprive them of basic necessities and try to brain them with cement-filled cupcakes. I think something like that warrants just a grounding and an apology at the most. I mean, for God's sake woman, your two sons said some mean stuff about their father at school where they know he's not around but he just so happened to show up at that moment. regularshowman: Yeah, as much as I love that episode mostly for the song, I'll admit that Nicole's abuse toward her two sons is jarring at best and disgusting at worse.Not only does the entirety of "The Job" add weight to Gumball and Darwin's claims, but Nicole and Anais get absolutely no comeuppance for behavior that would normally warrant a call to Child Protective Services. heartauthor: "The Hero" immediately makes it onto this list due to Nicole and Anais pelting Gumball and Darwin with cupcakes made of cement and then denying them necessities like bathing and food simply because the boys said that Richard didn't amount to much, and that hurt Richard's feelings.Coda Fett: My DMOS was that the show just straight up said that Richard can't be anything besides a useless sack of shit.That does not forgive the writers for thinking that it was ok to make a dead baby joke in a children's show. I don't care if it's technically a pizza and not a person or animal or whatnot.

Gumball, a series geared towards children (well, older children, but children nonetheless) has a Dead. But, it goes into "WTF, Writers!?" territory when they accidentally drop said pizza causing it to smear all over the ground and the pizza-people's horrified faces. At one point in the episode, Gumball and Darwin (who are helping their dad deliver pizzas since he predictably sucks at his job) deliver a pizza to, and I kid you not, a pair of pizza-people who believe that Gumball and Darwin have delivered their baby. However, I could forgive the episode's utter stupidity if it weren't for the DMOS moment I had with this episode. The episode itself centers around the universe being torn apart just because Richard has a job as a pizza delivery guy (Yes, seriously).
