liminal spaces don't scare me themselves, but the unsettling feeling of KNOWING that it used to be something grand, now just a desolate, empty, room

I always felt like the horror of liminal spaces isn't the thought that you're completely alone (though that is a large part of it). It's the creeping thought in the back of your head that tells you "what if you're not?"

This is one of my favorite gumball episodes because it shows that not everything in the world of Elmore is happy stuff.

I grew up on gumball, my past years ive been obsessed liminal spaces, this episode is just... Something.

Just a curius fact: The feeling you get when looking at a liminal space is called Kenopsia, an unsettling feeling of beeing in a place that used to be bustling with people but now it just isnt

The episode could definitely be taken in a metaphorical depression sense. I mean think about how depression can make someone feel. You can feel completely alone, and isolated, even when you're surrounded by friends and loved ones. And they wont be able to get through to you unless you let them, like in the end of the episode.

I don't understand why people can't understand that it wasn't Kayne pixels who expanded the backrooms from more than just an image. Sure, he did make it a lot more popular but the backroom's expansion, or the idea of backrooms levels, was made way before the KZfaq series.

I know it's really specific but I love 20 minute long videos about turning an innocent kids TV show into horror things

Damn, this would mess with my concept of reality when im alone if i grew up seeing this episode, & i was home alone *a loootttt* as a child, along with nights alone in hotel rooms bc ma is working late nights. Im a grown woman and this episode weirded me out.

The amount of dreadful loneliness I feel when looking at liminal photos is indescribable

"These liminal space images make you feel like you've been here before" *that one image of a distorted pool with the tiles on every floor, wall, and ceiling*

As someone with depression I can relate with this episode especially when I struggled with hallucinations and with feelings of being alone

Liminal spaces can be terrifying and comforting in different moments. When you feel like disappearing. And terrifying when your okay.

The Downer Gumball wishes that his family will just leave him alone but he wakes up in a strange place (still his house but no one is home) he goes outside not going out of bed (watch the episode for context) then proceeds to knock stuff down which comes back up and hits him, Gumball calls for someone and no one responds. So he starts doing stuff, he plays with legos and steps on them somehow and flushes little Timmy down the toilet, he starts cooking a meal for 5 and shapeshifts to have a conversation with himself, Gumball, Gumwin, Gumcole, Gumnais and Gumchard, Gumball is having a bad day since his family woke him up and Gumcole has a chat with him and Gumchard talks about food, Gumball starts going insane and goes outside looking for people and no one is still there, Gumball believes that he was left behind and apologizes to no one and then things start happening, brands start having new names like Misery Burger and Captain Crud. He is then chased by the darkness and he runs home only for his house to be consumed by the darkness, Gumball remembers everything his family said. Richard said "When I'm feeling down, I get back onto the swing of things." and then he does some sort of weird pose only to realize his family was there the whole time.

0:58 this is still a pretty effective liminal space, but if they took out the actual pictures in the picture frame and left behind the background it would be even more effective

When I was a kid I thought this episode was about depression for some reason lol

13:53 I was so into the video until that caught me off, I literally fell back in my fucking chair

Amazing Video. I knew the Episode but i never realized how its tied to laminat spaces lol. Keep it up :>

While watching this, i also happen to be alone

i love the “darker”/lore episodes of tawog. they’re so interesting and i love tawog in general

I came across your channel first by the FlapJack video. Amazing. Seeing what your channel is consisting of so far, I'm really eager to hear your perspective of the cartoon network shows that I'd consider 2010s kids era, what I just grew out of so I never saw much content. What I've seen so far, there are crazy CN shows, I thought my era of CN shows were crazy. So I'm binging your content because I have nothing better to do in my early Friday morning 😂

I just realized that the dark shadowy mist foreshadows the ending of the series

i love the editing in this video! this was really well done :)

As someone who struggled with depression i can totally relate with this episode

Ive been watching gumball for past 5 years every summer and yet i never get bored watching it

Nah fam, i have never subscribed so fast after a video, this is aslso going down in my archive of favorite videos! thanks!

this video is amazing bro, keep it up!

Reminds of an episode of SpongeBob where everyone in Bikini Bottom is gone, except for him. There's a scene where he pretends to be his friends in order to cope with the loneliness. Just like Gumball in this episode when he pretends to be his family.

this deserves WAYYY more attention.

This is seriously underrated.

i love the Audio and vhs style of this video,Absolutely Amazing

I feel like this when I’m playing a Minecraft texture pack like Fallout or Adventure Time on my own.

Very well put together dive into this subject. Fantastic video

i love how the hole video is like a vhs tape, not only the video but the sound. amazing atmosphere

I enjoy liminal spaces, the emptyness sooths me from all the evil or destractions of this terrifying world

Ty for the vid helps recorrect my mental state a bit

definitely earned a subscription.

Awesome video!!!!

Whats funny is that “you have been there” is no longer accurate because we never actually have been in Elmore.

I love watching these kind of videos where like the dark lore of the episode is explained it really just fascinates me I had no idea gumball could just go dark I thought it was always happy

if you're wondering the song at 1:42 is snowy world from yummenikki

This episode is way more scarier than "the grieving"

Your video is beautiful and wise. Such a great job explaining.

This reminds me of disturbing thoughts of being the only person left on earth.

This was one of my fav episodes ngl

the fact that the table also seems to disappear is a call back to where the table puts itself in the way of gumballs foot and shows its actually alive and always there

Love the comparison to liminal spaces but hallucinations alone =/= schizophrenia, so the terms shouldn't be used interchangeably. A lot of things can have you hallucinate so I'm glad you corrected yourself in the end I think the video was creative and well-put-together as well as relatable

Man I really the early draft of this episode. When I watched the episode in teenage years when I was depressed it really hit hard

Love ur style of videos, Got ya self a new sub

I have never looked into this episode that much

16:40 In my language (Danish) it's called "The Coal Cellar"

yo i was your 4000th sub thats pretty cool

Hence, you get scenes like this **black hole ad starts playing**

Editing critique here: For the 00:55 transition effect's you can ise a slide show sound effect (fallout 3) instead of the Image_being_taken.png, you can also try and amp up the CRT effect that you put on, I can see it, but it's very faint. But very good work, wished I continued making videos but I can help younger editors out by giving them ideas and knit picks of their videos.

Not gonna lie, when it comes to liminal spaces and I just stay their for a while, I vibe harder there for some reason. Especially if that liminal space shows scenery, it's always very calming to me ^^

Liminal spaces scare me because of the feeling that your not alone or your being watched and followed

13:57 really caught me off guard while watching lol very scary

i saw the title and thought of the exact same episode you cover.

The part where he was scared while walking scared me

I forgot about this episode, behing diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago this episode gave me flashbacks to very bad memories

put this in my save to watch later and got surprised when the thumbnail changed

9:13 The painting joke finished this ep for me

2:47 that is legit from a roblox game its called 'no players online' its made by a rather infamous game-dev that makes 1980s (?) themed phycological horror games (the backrooms is phycological horror too).

So many things if the backroom made it big, it's not just kane, is many other backroom channels

It’s so satisfying to see liminal spaces for me

2:49 thats a good game, i recorded a gameplay on my streams playlist. pretty great

I used to feel weird when I was watching these episodes when I was young... But after years of experimentation, I began to see how deep I was watching. :(

So glad we're getting season 7. I wonder if the void could open up some Liminal Space possibilities.

your bad audio just added that low fidelity touch to make this a great video

You are good at editing bro or its your editor

i had to watch this five times more after this

great video

I've watched The amazing world of gumball three times over, and for some reason I cannot for the life of me remember this episode

Honestly, you can take the very world of Gumball, turn it into a backrooms level, and it will fit right in. I mean just consider all the strange things that happen in the show, that's the kind of weirdness you could see in a backrooms level.

I only wake up with a bad mood when a certain someone i'm looking at woke me up. I would want to be able to go back to sleep most of the time but never 'leave me alone' kind.

bro this shit was the best liminal space

when i woke up in a bad mood, my dad threatened me with a fight.

Bro im freaking out!

i saw this episode when i was little and it’s thought it was the scariest thing i’ve ever seen

I got more Silent Hill vibes over Backrooms for this episode, especially when the void takes over the pictures, the same way the reverse side in SH makes the surroundings a darker and more decrepit version of itself

It seem like he was in a rut and needed some motivation to get out

Honestly this episode on reflection reminds me alot of the southpark episode where Stan just sees everything in the world as shit all of a sudden- and can't enjoy anything he does anymore, no matter what help he recieves. Doing various things that he used to love doing is miserable and not e joyabke anymore and the people around him suddenly can't relate to his problems, or enjoy being around him anymore either and it destroys his friend group along with his family breaking apart in the background- seperately from his own attitude and behaviors- compounding the problem and making it worse. It's like Gumball-in the same vein as Stan- has some true depression going on, and everything is awful and unenjoyable because of it; except where Stan never recovered from it, and all outside help failed him. Gumball eventually snaps himself out of the depression and comes back to how he was.

OMG YES YUME NIKKI MUSIC

"Gumball" is one of my favorite animated series. Last year, between September and December, I watched some episodes with attention and reflection. At the end of each episode, I thought that seeing a children's cartoon through the eyes of a teenager or an adult changes! "The Amazing World of Gumball" talks a lot about us, about our society and does not hide the phenomena that arise on the Internet. Indeed, we thank Cartoon Network for not having also covered the "Blue Whale Challenge" or other similar things, otherwise he ended up like the protagonist of the first episode of "The Backrooms" by Kane Pixels. Unfortunately, this is a very underrated animated product in Italy after the childhood age, which I am very sorry for. Let's hope for: - the new seventh season; - the movie (of "Gumball"); - the "The Backrooms" movie that Kane Parsons should be working on already.

When im in liminal spaces i for some reason feel relaxed

I had no reaction to the other liminal spaces, but the cafeteria hit me different for some reason.

i want to live in liminal spaces, an empty space with no one else around

Just wait until the grieving...

Gives me more twilight zone vibes

my man coming with the yume nikki soundtrack, what a god.

That entire episode felt like a lost episode creepypasta that someone made up

Liminal spaces are very weird and scary. What makes it weird bc it feels like theres something wrong. No chattering, no ppl, and no president, what makes it scary bc u feel like ur being *WATCHED* and feel like theres something hunting or chasing you at ur back without noticing.

11:28 I don’t think that this is what he thought the Backrooms *SHOULD BE* since the Backrooms are an amalgamation of many people’s contributions, but instead what it could be, as it’s his original ideas.

I'm not sure if you'll see this but what you talk about the episode Rose's room from season 1 a Steven universe 😊

3:22 : I am sorry but... that is literally my old school's hallway, i was 6 when i moved out so i probs just remember it wrong but it looked EXACTLY like this.

The most disturbing thing about the video is not the episode, but the 90's screen

Being home alone to most people : O NO me when home alone : Snack time Never ends

No way you used the distant piano from Luigi’s mansion dark moon 8:40

This is scarily related to my nightmare

the liminal world of gumball
