"Isn't the cloud a child?" It's okay. The giant's a child, too.

This episode always felt like a fever dream, only to see it a few years later and realize that it wasn't just a figment of my imagination as a child

Gumball: “I thought I was the one wearing the pants in this relationship.” Also gumball: Wears a dress and imagines a future where he marries and has kids with darwin in like the 5th episode of the show.

The truly terrifying part of this episode is how relatebal it actually is, it was as if the creators of Gumball had taken all Wattpad owners and turned them into one person. definitely my favourite.

I think it’s really cool how the crew used actual fanart from fans and incorporated into the episode. This episode is a simultaneous love letter to their fans whilst mocking them 😂

Its official gumball is the most unhinged children's show everywhere

I never used to understand Sarah in this episode, but then I started actually writing on AO3, and now I totally get it.

This episode really accurately describes how insane the shipping community can become. And as someone of that community who is considered tame, I feel it so much! It's insane where I can see a relationship where there is none!

It's hilarious how when Sarah has Larry propose to Mr.Smalls instead, he just says yes without her writing it in and somehow has a wedding dress prepared.

"Can you imagine finding out a classmate had written a shipfic about you and someone who wasn't your girlfriend?" Unfortunately, yes. One of my friends had this happen to them in high school. Some folks don't know boundaries.

as someone who’s been watching gumball since she was like 8 and never being weirded out by anything thats happened (somehow) i always enjoy ur reactions to full episodes LOL

As someone apart of shipping communities- I can contest that some people definitely take it too far. But most obsessed fans do go through that phase and eventually tame out. 😂

A few things you probably didn't get, is the purple looking darwin and gumball with wings poorly drawn are basically poking fun at all the unoriginal gumball oc's. Some people actually got kind of mad on the internet but its the internet so yeah. The Gumball x Carrie thing I was surprised they got because basically it was a crack ship made YEARS ago and somehow like a thousand fan fics spawned from it with mostly teenage gumball and carrie. The last one is just the creepy humanized incest shippers.

Props to Matthew for being able to monetize the destruction of his mind.

11:24 Yes, in fact after a certain episode titled the Matchmaker, Darwin and Carrie are together, pretty sure he's had a crush on her since around the episode Halloween cause he kisses her as a ghost

To be honest, the most chaotic episodes haven't been seen yet. For instance there's an episode where Gumball gets sucked into an RPG and names himself MYBUTT and robs his neighbour; an episode where Richard almost destroys the world by getting a job and an episode with a zombie epidemic in the school.

As an animator, this is actually really fun to watch. You can tell the animators had a good time. And seeing your horrific reactions made it even funnier 🤣🤣

7:42 the joke here is that they are canon but gumball ruins Larry's chance to propose to Karen anytime he gets lol.

I didn’t think it was possible but, I kinda feel *bad* for Matthew.

Love the quote: "I wouldn't use it for evil. But i would use it for me." Same!

6:14 I literally write fanfiction, but if I found out my classmate wrote a fic about me, I'd be weirded whether they shipped me with my significant other or not 💀

As someone who grew up watching gumball seing Mathews pure confusion gives me so much happiness

The show is diegetically a cartoon. Cartoon logic is their normal. Nobody can die, nothing is permanent, pain is comedy. You may as well be confused that Willie Coyote doesn't die when blown up with dynamite, Tom and Jerry can piece themselves back together when they shatter, or Pinkie Pie deflating like a balloon when she's sad.

The amazing world of gumball literally looked up fanfic and created what they found

This episode is a wonderful reminder that no matter how cringe I think I am or how cringe I think my fanfic is, there will always be things more cringe

I actually comment this two times but, Here are some episodes that would be interesting to see your reaction. -The Recipe: I dont know why this episode is not so popular but I feel like it's one of the darkest episodes and most underrated ones. -The Trilogy of the episodes, The Hug, The Awkardnes, The Cringe: Definitely the most uncomfortable episodes of the show. I don't think you'll get over these. -The Slap: if the others episodes you watched didn't traumatize you enough, this one will. -The Joy: this episode traumatized many. thats all i just gonna say. -The Pizza: This episode gets so surreal. And it explains a little bit about Larry and his jobs. -The Shell: a heartwearming episode with some pretty memorable scenes and character development, You're going to like gumball in this one. -The Void: I'm sure it's already been recommended but it's an incredible episode.

this is my favourite episode and its terrible at the same time. amazing also you're so surprised about the messed up fanfic thing, but trust me people write way way WAY worse irl

10:06 Cloud and Giant (Masami and Hector) go to the same school, there is literally a T Rex student at Elmore (city the show takes place in) Junior High, so they're around the same age

This is my favorite episode in the entire series because of how wild and crazy it got. I can’t stop laughing every time I watch this.

The van and entity inside remain a mystery, but the gist of him is that EVERYTHING he sells looks normal, but has reality altering properties Also, with the notebook, we see how literally everything is taken, so half of these stories were probably innocent enough, but got RUINED.

Finally.... Scarring Matthew McKatthew is always what the entity wants

14:28 here you go folks, the moment his soul gave up on this world

Just expect chaos when the awesome store and the shadow shopkeeper show up. And gumball in general. The awesome store has a lot of weird but cool stuff in it

every time the AWESOME STORE comes into an episode, you know its gonna be a wild one.

If gumball ends up getting more seasons I feel like we need some expansion on the awesome store. I mean he’s been responsible for so much stuff that happened in this show, and we still don’t even really know what or who he is and where he even gets all this stuff from. Plus he’s basically almost ended the world a few times and he’s only getting the cops on him now? Also, if he had an notebook that could bassicly make him god by just writing one sentence, why is he even selling this stuff. In fact, why is he selling any of his things if he could just use them to take over the entirety of Elmore! Why is he just selling them to randos instead? So many questions, not enough answers.

Isn't there an episode where every object is revealed to be living breathing thing or is that a figment of my imagination.

Gonna be real, when I was in 7th grade, there were so many instgram pages of shipping kids together. Like, actual kids from that school, and I knew who they were cuz they were in my class. One of the most awkward things I've dealt with 💔💔

This doesn't really make it any less strange, but I hope you find comfort in the fact that the cloud and the giant are the same age

14:18 we were shown how she tried to use metaphors and they happen literally, so at least a few of those weird results are not intentional on her part, just the unfortunate consequence of what she wrote hapening on the most literally way posible.

2:16 It's simple he's selling magical objects that can control reality. If the SCP Foundation were real, this guy would be a big danger. He is the number one most wanted person that the Foundation wants to capture with all the artifacts and items he has on him.

As obvious as it is that strange things go on in Elmore, it’s people aren’t able to ever notice because The Void/Elmore itself keeps the characters from noticing when characters, items, and events are erased or introduced out of nowhere. It’s a really interesting story actually. Gumball is just truly an experience that you can’t get anywhere else.

This was a show I got into when I was 14 and 15 and none of the horrors he’s experienced from it occurred for me or my siblings

The fact that I completely understand Sara's explanation of what she's been writing is not good

I have watched this episode so many times and thanks to you I have noticed Nicole and Misami's mom riding the unicorn together oh my god I love it and hate it at the same time

People actually write shipfics about their classmates, at least from my experience in school and what I hear from my younger siblings

Here I am once again asking on behalf of us all for Mathew to watch the rob saga, episodes: The Void, The Oracle, The Nobody, The Nemesis, The Bus, The Disaster/ReRun, The Ex, The Future, The inquisition

They really got me with the "Let's eat Bobert". I've been laughing for almost 5 minutes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love watching you react to thinks like this mainly cuz I find it wild on how much it jarring to you, while me and everyone I’ve known to watch gumball is just chill about it and find it hilarious

I love this episode, I wonder if I should be scared since I could understand what Sarah said when she was writing fanfiction.

I grew up on Gumball and JoJo, to me that episode was normal and funny. Okay, I was a little surprised that they included the Cartoon Network logo, but that's basically it.

To answer your question about Darwin having a crush on the ghost: yes, and no. In the episode "the words" he calls the ghost, Carrie, "an emo freak", but that was actually WAY before he had a crush on her. His crush on her was confirmed in the episode "Halloween" where he’s turned into a full ghost and kisses her, and in one of the episodes they start to date. So in this season, this was after they started dating, they were dating.

"that's just body horror" *Darwin gets immediately torn to shit*

This brings the definition of fanfiction to life😊

As someone who writes/reads fanfiction there can be a lot of body horror (especially in angst) Scaramouche x dottore from genshin impact is the most obvious example I have

Matthew is the best at being traumatized

Im pretty sure that only the Watersons know about the awesome store.

This show is so aware it’s kinda scary

"How do they do that?" I'm pretty sure we have all asked that question before at one point or another when we think of Darwin's relationship with Carrie.

This episode is iconic 😅

I am SO GLAD you watched this!! This is one of my favorite episodes

12:13 I've "translated" these terms before and I shall gladly do so again Noncanon - not aligned with the source material a fanfiction such as what Sarah's writing is based off of. For example, if a character from a show were noted to love grapes, but someone wrote a fanfiction where they hated grapes, that would be considered noncanon. AT - an outdated term meaning Alternate Timeline AR - an outdated term meaning Alternate Reality ^people nowadays would either use "AU" (Alternate Universe) or "Canon Divergence" to get those across, with an AU taking place in another setting/world entirely, and canon divergence being in the same universe as canon but with different events occurring in that world as opposed to canon. Ships - Derived from "Relation*ships*", shipping is when people take two (or sometimes more) characters and pair them together in a romantic or sexual relationship, if not both, despite wherever the characters actually stand with eachother in canon. One Shot: A fanfiction consisting of one chapter, typically of shorter length, though longer single-chapter works may also be considered one shots depending on who you ask. OOC- Out Of Character. Similar to noncanon but a term exclusively limited to the depiction of characters in fanfiction. The grape analogy works here, too. OC drawings - drawings of Original Characters, who are inserted into fanfiction typically to serve purpose to the story or to be shipped. OTP - One True Pairing. Used to refer to one's favorite ships. Unlike the name suggests, one can have multiple OTPS. Fanservice - Content made specifically to cater towards fans of a piece of media. Typically fluffier content. Usually comes in the form of ship teases or characters being used for sex appeal, if not both. Can be used as a tactic to keep people interested in a piece of media.

I would really like to see Mathew react to "That Handsome Devil" songs, mainly "Charlie's Inferno" and "Savages" (also, "Eristocrats", "Karmakaze", "Powderbomb", "Wintergreen", "Yada Yada" and "Sleep it Off" are good options too)

I like Human Darwin's design Best fish husbando

I was literally wishing for another one of your videos cause I was bored and here you are

If you are worried about death in this show, you should watch the toast episode

10:02 the giant is a child too his name is Hector

I knew this episode would scar you for life and was so looking forward to it

Can we talk about how 14:26 implies Sarah somehow wrote 2 entire pages on just anime Darwin.

17:37 that was the scariest sound effect you could have made! oh, and I'd say his icing is a clothing like spandex. He can probably take it off. The badge therefore only pins through the clothing.

I’m genuinely surprised with what they got away with in this episode like that brief moment of female human gumball about to marry her step brother, OMG!

10:06 yes, but Hector (the giant) is also a child that goes to the same school, he appears sometimes, but you see only his foot

The faces Mathew makes in these are majestic

Mathew is slowly going insane and 90% of this is attributed to the amazing world of gumball

This episode aged well to Shipping in Fandoms or basically Wattpad And also I always think Sarah has a Deviantart and Wattpad acc or probably she is a Wattpad kid

"That's like...body horror" **proceeds Into body horror scene**

The shadow man in the beginning is literally ment to be *A Shady Guy*

14:22 "That's like body horror!" Literally a second after he says that:

** ThE aWeSoMe StoRe** A van with anything and everything 🌟magical🌟 Maybe it has eye bleach or anti trauma oranges or smth

This is one of my favorite episodes

The amazing world of gumball is truly something 😌

6:09 according to being popular KZfaqrs with millions of fan art, 100% imaginable.

"There is no way fanfic writers/shippers would write something like that!" Oh you sweet summer child.

And 1 thing Sarah is basically any Wattpad kid who ships random ppl who interacts with each other for 0.001 second

Bro Mathew got a new catchphrase that being “what the f###”

Mathew is slowly turning insane from these videos.

If you haven’t already you should watch both evil turtle episodes, they’re so funny and creepy at the same time

Great reaction!

10:11 The giant is also a child

It still scares me how Sarah added “one shots ever here and there” to this day.

when i saw this, i put everything down, i just HAVE to watch this XD this episode was SUCH a fever dream bro i love it

He clearly has not watched the furby episode

11:44 Did he forget that Gumball's a... cat? 14:23 LMAO. SPEAKING OF WHICH 16:34 I feel like that'd just make them stop existing instead of going back to normal tho 19:19 I guess unless it's written like that

I’ve been a fan of this show for so long that I’m immune to its weirdness

12:41-12:44 made me cackle

I mean the anime style used in this series at points do make me wish we could have an anime styled series put on adult swim or something. Following Nicole in an alternate universe involving that backstory of hers, full of action and romance, and drama, oh and violence.

I can only imagine his reaction if he reacts, one day, to Villainous. Especially the villain orientation videos, there are none in english only in spanish with english subtitles.

Great video as always. Who else think he should do "The Console" episode at some point?

Where I live, lawyer's licenses do have photos and can be used in the place of IDs for catching flights or stuff like that.

11:23 Carrie, the Ghost is Darwin's Girlfriend
