Isn't this the last season of Gumball?
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I havent liked a children's cartoon as much as Gumball since pre-movie Spongebob. It is excellent.

"Right now it just feels like you're ransacking an old man's house."
Perfect, absolutely perfect.

Absolutely.
I think we are on season 5 right now and season 6 is maybe the last one. I don't think anything is confirmed though.

That was amazing, The pigeon quest haha, reminds me of the 101 Dalmations side-quest in Kingdom Hearts.
You're goddamned right I found them all.

The Radcliffe's home was adorable with all 99 puppies.

Easily the best animated show right now
At first I kinda hated Clarence, only caught a few episodes and just couldn't get into it... then my son got into it and I was forced to watch more and finally started to see the quiet beauty of it all. It's pretty good, it's got a Home Movies-esque quality to it (not as dark or violent, of course).
Gumball is so good though.
Gumball, Regular Show, and Adventure Time are the trifecta.

haha that was good. lol
BlueTsunami
there is joy in sucking dick
The summon transition killed me
That's pretty good, except for the parts where they SHOUT OUT A SUMMARY OF A JOKE IN CASE WE DIDN'T GET WHAT THE JOKE WAS ABOUT EVEN WHEN THEY DID VISUAL JOKES WHICH ARE JOKES TOLD THROUGH VISUALS SO THEY SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE EXPLAINED.
Really impressive visual references, kinda Borderlandsy writing.

"Yes, I think most things are susceptible to fire attacks..."
That was great.
The summon sequence in the second clip was really funny.
I think you're right on the mark.
You've basically got a bunch of skilled and talented folks who grew up with quality, cutting edge creator-driven cartoons like the Disney Renaissance films, Early Simpsons, The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, and Invader Zim making their own shows in a world with a lot less restrictions on what's "appropriate" for kids.
It also helps that a lot of these folks are nerds who actually have an appreciation for nerdy internet fandom tomfoolery because they actually participated in it!
Rebecca Sugar for example, the genius behind the excellent Steven Universe, is an unabashed fan of Invader Zim. Like, It's pretty easy to find the goofy Invader Zim fan content she created back in the early 2000s.
Like these people know what's up, they're products of a modern connected world, and they understand how powerful the medium of animation can be.
Oh and many of them never grew up in a world without successful home video game systems, so there is an actual appreciation for the medium past "Donkey Kong and Pac-Man were fun! Remember that?".

It's only been confirmed that Ben Bocquelet (the creator) will be leaving the show after the sixth season, nothing has been mentioned regarding its possible end.

More people need to check this show out! It's been entertaining for a while now.
Just caught the full episode. My god, that was fantastic. Loved the whole thing, the music, the victory animations...everything was so spot on.
"We better find the AWESOME STORE before we start growing anime hair." Ha!
Also, are the summons at the end, especially the father, supposed to parodying specific summons in the Final Fantasy series.

New episode had a small Mario tribute at the end

Funny timing with the bump, as I said earlier in this thread, GAF convinced me to pick up this series. I'm now all caught up. Just saw the RPG episode last night. It was amazing!
They're pretty vague parodies, but Banana Joe is very blatantly a cactuar.

I think Mr. Watterson is supposed to be parodying the likes of Bahamut, especially Bahamut ZERO in VII

That definitely had to be an Anima/Shiva reference with the first part.
