(Crickets) Let's see.
Review Gumball.
Could you talk about Gumball?
Gumball…
(Screech sound effect) Review Gumball or die?
Well, time to review Gumball!
Hey ladies and jellyfish, wumbos of all sizes, welcome back to A.S.K.
Air's videos.

Today, on Super Reviews I am talking about the latest and likely the last episode of
Gumball ever: The Intelligence.
So, I've been waiting for this, and after it came out as I'm writing this, it has
been confirmed to certainly not be the last episode of the show or even season six, so
if anything here sounds a little off that's why.
Anyway, I've been wanting to talk about this show for such a long time, from the multiple
requests I've gotten to review it, to the countless Gumball reviews, to most of them
getting significant views, that can't have anything to do with it, or just looking like
an interesting show in general.
So, as many people do, let's start off my reviewing spree for Gumball with the last
episode!
The episode is in the description for reference, so if you wanna see it now, do that.
The episode starts off with honestly a pretty funny reference to what seems like Youtube?
It looks like one of those old cat videos replaced with dogs, and then an ad pops up.
A short pause to see the artistic integrity shows not much.
We've got some pretty legit suggested videos, a gag about there being 2 dislikes with 2
zeros before the 2 for some reason, and uploader Overton Richardson, which I have no idea what
that's referencing.
Anyway an ad plays and it stops everytime they ignore it by turning around.
One of those classic jokes, am I right?
I like the hidden joke in this, which is the ad saying how old generations are ruining
the economy and they'll get a retirement.
Gumball and Darwin, with their great voices, by the way, especially Gumball's voice is
very nice and clear, a feature I honestly wish I had, make fun of the ad with it's
b-roll which is actually a pretty decent joke.
They reference how online algorithms can't do a good job of tracking you and recommend
you ads or products targeted usually not appropriate for your age range.
It would've been funny if they referenced how people lie about their ages online but
I think they were talking about algorithms that track your history and completely fail
at guessing the demographic.
As he calls computers dumb, Timmy or The Internet or whatever comes and says some lines I couldn't
understand, not because of his voice or anything, but because of the poor delivery.
Gumball pulls the plug on him, even though with computers that doesn't do anything.
We get a joke about SafeSearch, once again a funny reference to the actual Internet.
I also just realized how great the animation is in this very creative cartoon.
It really gives this a zing and a creative outlook.
We can see the live action background, some puppets, lots of 3D as well as 2D animation
blended together quite nicely.
We actually got a really funny joke regarding updates on computers which I thought was pretty
relatable, myself having a Windows 10, where updates are as common as having to charge.
The voice actor's tone and enthusiasm also adds a bit to this gag.
I know if this was Darwin or something it wouldn't have been as funny.
He gets presumably virused and goes through this: (video) Yeah, this is officially the
weirdest thing I've ever seen.
Just including duck-lips in this is worth a 10 million out of ten, seriously.
He tries to call Gumball, but he denies it in those sleepy-wake-up-and-get-mad-and-go-back-to-bed-moments.
And then we see the entire town's lights go out.
They wake up the next day from a ring on the door, and three guys say something that's
way too fast to comprehend.
They give him a vacuum cleaner nozzle and tell Gumball to summon them with it by using
it as a horn.
(video) That's what she said.
They go out in their beds, and see some people protesting about something.
Once again, it was hard to really understand what, they were just bantering, and the amazing
visuals distract a lot from it, especially in big crowds like this that are full of differently
designed characters.
When Gumball talks about the Internet, they all crowd around him, and then him and Darwin
get saved by another old dude.
When they get into some weird cave, the old guy turns into a sensei and tells them what
happened.
(video) I think that's a pretty cool story accompanied by the stupidly amazing visuals!
To think we actually devolved ever since technology became what it is today, is actually pretty
interesting, especially for a kids' cartoon!
Gumball sees they have a map of their city: Elmore, And this can help them find Internet
as his phone's busted.
But the old dudes try to stop them.
Gumball calls for the previously mentioned guys with the horn.
They escape and we get a really funny joke about Gumball only talking in technology jargon.
(video) I'm so glad the team working on this were really knowledgeable about the subject
of technology, and didn't make it too cringey or instantly outdated.
They find Internet in a house going on a fritz again and they pull his plug.
They think about leaving it unplugged, and we get this very strange scene (video) What
is this?!
But the punchline, which is actually pretty funny was that they replug him and all the
adults instantly go on their phones again.
I think this was a really funny ending to an already good episode.
But I do think they could've extended it a bit longer so something happens with Internet
that isn't completely predictable, and kinda wastes the build-up this got devoted to it
in the previous 10 minutes!
So, that was The Intelligence!
Was it good?
Was it bad?
Well, I would give it a 7/10.
It was really funny, with the jokes being well-timed, not too cringey or instantly dated,
well-delivered or out of nowhere, the visuals being beautiful to look at, although not as
much as some other Gumball episodes, and the plot being decent.
The characters don't really do much for the story, some stories they tell are really
incoherent and hard to follow, and the ending was a little rushed for my liking.
Anyways, don't forget to leave your thoughts on the episode in the comments down below,
