"How about a joke?" "Knock knock!" "Dad?" "What? No." **Crying Intensifies**

The plot lines with Richard an Nicole’s parents really shows why their marriage works. Both of them have horrible families and they complete each other, even if they fight. This show had real human relationships instead of just spouse bad jokes.

I love how Frankie calls Granny by her real name, Joanna, while everyone else calls her JoJo. Shows even after the divorce he still respects her

To be fair, he deserves all of what he gets. He's not just a terrible father, but a terrible person too. Imagine being ready to have your son go to prison at your place.

I feel bad for those trying to defend Frankie. He abandoned his family and when he returned he immediately started scamming his son. He’s a deadbeat, a con artist and a person who doesn’t want to be better. Yea he has “morals” but still he’s a crappy person, it took Richard unconditionally forgiving him to make him realize what he’s done.

Probably one of the most underrated characters in tawog.

I love how Frankie is considered a "deadbeat" but not the asshole stereotype of character in other shows and TV's. He's still a crook, but he feels bad; almost miserable. He's trying but just doesn't know or understand what to do.

After everything hes done to his son and family, I'd say he had as least half of this coming to him. As someone with a dead beat dad, they suck.

4:32 I like how he shows love to his son, and despite his initial intent and success in his plan, he chooses to be a better man.

0:26 love how they turned a side character into a character that's part of Gumballs family. just nifty.

Not a single person mentioned he had a pink eye the entire time, especially himself

If Richard can almost destroy the reality when he's go to work, Can Frankie also can destroy the universe if he was honest ?

How is it granny JoJo, Nicole, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, knew the truths about Frankie Watterson while Richer is still in the dark

Something I noticed is that granny JoJo ends up with a mouse boyfriend after a bad marriage with a rat ..... ✨Symbolism✨

At least Joanna has consistent taste, rodents

He’s the embodiment of a father who wants to be good at parenting but fails miserably and gets mistreated for it.

“Tortured side character” Meanwhile most of the video is him scamming, lying, and stealing

One of the saddest plots on this show

I really liked how Darwin putted himself really deep in the crazy criminal role. The one who is for peace and things, became super out of his mind

2:17 HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! 33 YEARS AND YOU COME BACK INTO MY HOUSE WITHOUT THAT CARTON OF MILK *starts crying*

"Yeah! You said he went to buy some milk 42 years ago!" Gumball was so ahead of it's time

Frankie was the most morally fascinating character…. Although he is morally bankrupt, and definitely deserve some of the abuse that he got…….. I can’t call him a completely awful person for some strange reason and I don’t know why

Frankie's the worst. Richard is a kind soul, this is traumatic for me.

Frankie is a jerk. Frankie really had ditched his family for that long, only for him to try and take advantage of them a nice again. He’s not the worst person as he shows guilt yet still seems like he avoids doing the right thing.

Frankie is absolutely despicable, and every moment of his pain filled me with joy 😂😂

This show really did Richard dirty.. Such as the "Dad going for the milk. Goes missing for 42 years." joke

Frankie Watterson is a horrible father and still a horrible person, but yet you can't help feel bad for him by how the rest of the family treats him although in most of the situations they attempt and try to treat him better then he treats them. He uses them for personal gain as in food, money, shelter, and even tried to get his own son to go to prison for him. There's humanity in him, but it's still apparently not enough for him change his ways, which can never justify his actions regardless. In some way, he caused all these problems in this video, it was nobody else's faults except for his.

I say this about a lot of cartoon characters, but I really feel bad for Frankie. Yes, it's despicable that he left his family in Richard's developing years, but it's clear that Frankie hates himself so much that he didn't want to trouble his family. He is so starved for love, as the Wattersons' song detailed. He's like Sal Left Thumb in that the hatred he faced led him to a life of crime, but even if he wanted to reverse his mistakes, which he says he does, there's nowhere left to turn. It's truly tragic.

a prime example of "He's not a villain he's a victim"

I don’t get how anyone could say he was tortured or a victim, he deserves anything bad that happened to him. He was a terrible parent and a terrible person and hurt many people just for his own good

Honestly despite Frankie being a failure as a father/husband. At the very least he suffers the consequences of actions on like Most bad cartoon fathers such as… Peter Griffin Stan Smith Randy Marsh Stephen Willis Scotch Carter Pewterschmidt Marty Glouberman Oh yeah let’s also not forget both Nicole’s parents were terrible. They weren’t deadbeats or abusive, however we’re completely neglectful and had beyond high expectations since the day she was born. NTM had absolutely no regard for their only daughter’s feelings.

Do principal brown being weird af >:D and also funny moment; "Whats father gonna say when he comes back?" "Father???" "Yeah! You said he went to buy some milk 42 years ago! He can be back any minute!" "ᴰʳᵃᵐᵃᵗᶦᶜ ᵖᵃᵘˢᵉ ᵒᶠ ˢᵗᵃʳᶦⁿᵍ ᵃᵗ ᵉᵃᶜʰᵒᵗʰᵉʳ."

2:13 - 2:23 me every time I see my dad

I like how the show criticizes the US prison system.

the only dad that came back

I find it funny how Richard's das is teaching his son how to do "adult" tasks, as he shows clear stress and incompetence like he hasn't done those things before in previous episodes. The obvious irony and forced melancholic approach to that scene is hilarious since it's supposed to be empathetic, but in reality it's just fake.

Wow Frankie aged way better than his ex-wife that guy has to be between 55 to somewhere in the 60s and he doesn’t look half bad for a bum😅

''Knock knock?'' ''Dad?'' ''No-'' ''WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'' I felt the 5 stages of grief in that joke

0:16 holy shit 💀💀💀

This guy deserves to suffer. I’m sorry but he left Richard, never tried to contact him, never tried to get a job for his family, and tried to scam his family for money or food. He may have felt regret but he never tries to change

Oh, brother, that Frankie’s got some problems. And everyone, if you’re watching this video, try being in the same show with him every DAY.

I laughed way too hard when richard said “whens dad getting back with the milk?”

If there's one word to describe Frankie, it's "pitiful", his existence is pitiful.

There is this weird balance between "man, he is an asshole" and "man, that's so sad"

Does he really live in there? It could be worse, he could live in that *Hello Watersons!*

Amazing World Of Gumball makes fun of important life lessons and still teaches them very well.

He is horrible in that he left his family and only came back to con them out of their home... But Joana has show how messed up a partner she can be so I can understand him walking out on HER. This is the woman who turned Richard into the braindead lazy slob we know, apparently via repeated psychological torment to scare him away from anything other than lazing about and eating (which left him woefully unprepared for the many dangerous things he gets involved in, she didn't teach him that some things were dangerous, just scared him into not taking any "risk" near her). It doesn't absolve him of his flaws but it explains some of his actions. It doesn't explain why Joana ever married him, but her actions and motivations are baffling anyway. Also I forgot that it was Anais that had the "genius" idea to make him feel at home by imitating the worst parts of prison... Has anyone ever called her out on when HER plans are dumb and cause problems as opposed to all the times she does that to gumball and darwin?

I am disappointed that i have the same name as an animated rat who got bullied by a couple of children because he happened to leave his son "to go get milk" Life is strange.

He seems like a man who had it coming for him, and well, it came for him. Really, he got himself into this mess

On one hand, Frankie is an awful deadbeat dad who deserves terrible things. On the other hand, I feel like burning a wooden statue if himself in front of him while singing about how awful he is might be going a little bit too far

"he belongs in a more... PADDED cell, if you catch my drift" honestly one of the more clever things gumball has said

10:43 wait he was secretly smart

may i suggest a few other characters to make videos like this on: -the hot dog guy does he have a name i forgot tbh he feels like a dave so lets call him that -nicole watterson -the silly little evil rock guy nemesis whose name i forgot -principal guy whose name i also forgot have i mentioned i never actually watched this show in full and barely know any of the characters by name hehe

4:56 “what’s up with him “ why are you asking questions ….

7:13 yooo this song 🔥🔥

I think Richard knew but he chose to pretend he doesn't like how people block out bad memories then there's people like granny jojo who keeps bringing it up till said person remembers them I'm glad Richard chose the higher road in life instead still being himself with no complications

Everybody is debating whether to look at him as being a terrible person and not feel bad for him, or whether to look at him as a tortured person that are you do feel for at least a little bit, but very few people are realizing that you can have a bit of BOTH. You can see how terrible of a person he is AND feel bad for him at times for what his life has become. Note that nothing that I say here is a defense for what he's done. The people who don't feel bad for him no matter what, I can understand why, but I can't agree because even someone like him deserves food and clean water. The people who view him as the victim on the other hand are going too far the other way and need to remember that he is a deadbeat father who left his son and wife and also a scam artist on top of that. And the people who thinks he deserves nothing but torture because of that need to remember that even though what he did was unforgivable, he at least tried to make up for it but didn't know how and ended up feeling like he wasn't able to. Yes what he did was unforgivable, but I can't help but feel bad for him actually wanting to finally make up for it after all these years and not knowing how to. Also the fact that he has no food and had to boil water from a toilet is just sad no matter how terrible of a person he is in my opinion. But I digress, I'm probably going to get a lot of hate comments from the people don't feel bad for him no matter what that I'm trying to defend him when I'm not.

5:34 that escalated quickly😂

13:08 One of my favorite lines from the series

Feel free to put 11:36 on repeat

The original wickerman ref is a big surprise out of nowhere and I'm loving it!!

He mostly brought the torture to himself.

2:10 are we not going to question that fact that Darwin said what to dad

There is a likable quality to Frankie though. He abandoned his family specifically because he knew he would be a terrible influence on them and didn’t want his son to end up like he did. And judging by the life and loving family that Richard leads, it seems like Frankie‘s plan worked.

1:40 bro they even stoled his tree

Frankie is a bad father. When you look at the way he treated his own son Richard by abandoning him as a kid leading to Granny Jojo infantilizing Richard to the point where he can’t function on his own and trying to scam him even to this day, he honestly deserves hearing the vermin man song. Poor Richard is the way he is now and who can blame him?

4:56 Gumball: dude I think you put this way too far 😒

frankie deserves everything he got coming to him scamming his son for 400$ as a CHILD and then abandoning him only to come back to con him out of his house and make him homeless. If you think hes changed one bit your wrong he visits only for food and shelter not to visit his SON he ABANDONED 34 years ago smh i feel no pity for him at all

Darwin be on drugs in that prison episode- he used to be a cheerful, funny fish, not he’s on drugs-

Frankie is what Moe Syzlak's fursona would be

The vermin man song is fucking funny.

Honest do god really reminds me of my parents. My mom hated my dad for what he put us through simply because he really only loved his family and himself and we were the optional part. I hated him for a long time and absolutely hated his guts for what he did to our family, with my mom never speaking to him for 3 years. Until in 2018, he fixed himself. Sure he was still a bit of a selfish ass until he actually started to understand me and my autism. He started to understand I was a person, a person he created with my mom, who is also a person like him. He realized how much we really meant to him all his life and how big selfish assholes his part of the family was(except his dad). Over the course of 5 years of hard work and actually giving me the love I never had…. He’s my father now and I love him to the end, I will forgive most of what he’s ever done, but I will never forget the pain of everything, just as my mom won’t as she’s always on his ass about everything, but she respects him just as much as he respects her. That’s life in my book, that’s how life goes. People need to be given a chance but once that chance goes, that’s it, no more…. Just give people the chance and if they don’t, cut them out just as they’ve cut you. But if they take that chance, hold and love them until the end and never let them fall again. My dads currently got a raise in a company he’s worked for since 2019 and he’s doing better than he’s ever done in years I love my dad and he loves me, my mom, my brother and my sister Edit: there’s a few details I’m leaving out but it’s mostly personal stuff

He is the OG gone for milk dad

Where did Grannie Jojo get all of those instruments, how long has she been playing each, and is that how she kept the lights on for Richard? Questions I desperately need the answers to!

"looks like a popsicle, Popsicles are cold like the Arctic Ocean, and that's cold because its got lots of icebergs in it, that's why it's dangerous for ships Because icebergs sink ships and what's the first thing to leave a sinking ship...A rat, and rats are covered in fleas. Just like my father flead from me."

Frankie deserves everything imo

0:16 for some reason as a kid i thought this was meant to be an allegory for him being dead, not that he walked out on him.

"You guys hungry" "Sure" "Me too😔😔" 😂😂😂😂

Okay, but the Vermin Man song is low key fire 🔥

Dude said he was sentenced to 3 days in jail, all this running was for nothing

Nahhh not the milk joke 💀💀

You are too funny I'm subscribing

1:42 to 2:00 My mind: Don't feel bad for him, don't feel bad for him, don't feel bad for him, don't feel bad for him, don't feel bad for him ... (A few seconds later in that episode) Anais: That's it! We have to make our home a prison cell because that's what he's use to My mind: nooooooooooooo! Also I really like the episode, but holy crap, imagine being tortured by pretend prison so much that when the real prison is offered to you it seems good by comparison

The Amazing World of Gumball predicted the your dad left to get milk and never came back insult

0:22 dıd they just embrace the joke? THEY KNOW ÎT?

*Knock knock* Dad 😁 No 🤨 Relatable

Day 10 of asking for Mr. Robinson compilation

best show on cartoon network by far

that shower gag is pretty risque

I think now tawog made the “my dad left to get milk and never came back” lol 😂

no😔i think i been outta line my whole life💔

Wow …Ghoul Inmate Darwin sure is CREEEEEPY and scaaaaaaary😮

They tormented this man for being a deadbeat, great lesson to kids lmaoo

I love this series

Finally early

frankie is like his son but bigger

None of them even bothered to ask how he got that black eye.

I wonder how Frankie would look if he appeared in Season 1.

“Knock knock” “DAD?”

I even watched the episode and I felt bad for him
