Alpha Jay, you should review "The Remote" for your next Gumball video. It's such a hilariously amazing episode.

Do the disaster/the rerun and the choices

[@trevorphillipsandyourmom9785]

PLEASE DO THE PACT!!! It’s one of my favorite season 6 episodes.

[@Neosworld64]

Can you do the choices please

[@SergioLeonardoCornejo]

The scariest part isn't just how dangerous it is, but the fact that it was actually created by Gumball and Darwin. They created something on par with Jumanji. Two kids who make a whole average human brain united were capable of threatening reality. Addendum. I actually read instruction manuals out if habit because many had lore.

[@ExtremeWreck]

Your comment reminds me of the fact that Jumanji had its own cartoon back in the 90s.

[@mas8705]

That would also explain the “Don’t hug me, I’m scared” hand puppets.

Richard could alter reality by getting a job... I feel like the power is hereditary

[@geardog24]

You have to admit, it's impressive that Gumball and Darwin were somehow able to create their own Jamanji.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

I doubt they made it. They probably just said they made it but really bought it from the Awesome Store. You know, the only place in town where you can get reality-warping objects.

[@MaddieDoesRandomStuff]

@@vetarlittorf1807 if you look at the cards, box, and board, it looks like something a young child would make. The pieces look like things a young kid (like 4 - 5) would use for the game. It overall looks like something two young kids would make and not an adult that runs a store.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Dodge or Dare is like a homemade Jumanji, but it's powerful enough to put a curse on you and make it feels like a death trap until you finish the game. It makes Squid Game looks like the safest game show.

[@Weirdos22146]

I swear I find you everywhere I go

[@Duothimir]

I mean, Jumanji did that too. If you didn't finish the game, it would haunt you for decades until either you end it, or it ends you.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Or could it?

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

The board is real

[@Citcleanimations]

Squid game when they see this comment: hmm, alright bois, time for season 2

[@neminem233]

One thing that I like about this episode is how it starts. Gumball is actually the responsible and reluctant one, while Nicole is the one more excited and less concerned. However, it's not out of character because Gumball knows how bad the game is, because he's experienced it, and Nicole wants to spend some quality time with the family. It's a nice switch up of roles that I can appreciate Personally, next I would cover The Master to round out the game-based trio. I think that's a highlight of season 6 for me. It's just so simple but works so well.

[@yuki97kira]

Nicole is also competitive.. So she probably wanted to win the game once it was opened lol

[@angel_of_rust]

that's the consequence of good writing

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

My best joke in this episode _has_ to be when Richard, hissing like a vampire, pounces on Gumball to eat the ham suit. It's the way he enters the scene that had me in stitches, he just *descends.*

[@THECaptain20l2]

I also love when it goes back to the present and you see Richard looking at gumball and remembering the ham suit and his fangs come out xD

[@DominikPac-Boy]

Lol yeah

[@jpm8027]

its like someone is just sliding a picture of richard

[@jazzinikki01]

😂😂😂

[@Parthornax]

It’s a Castlevania reference.

[@DanielsProductions11channel]

The whole Larry job thing is a paradox. He has so many jobs so he can pay rent but he doesn't even have time to be in that house. If he gets less jobs, he will need rent more for being there. Also, the Game is a great episode and probably one of the best earlier episodes.

[@yuki97kira]

Larry better off being homeless and buy a house once he got enough... Thus reducing hours he work to pay rent

[@moxxiedemongamer3019]

6:51 having so many jobs all from one guy must be stressful I'd don't know how Larry does it and he doesn't get paid enough

[@Star-Commander-Vong]

I choose to believe that, since the game is functionally Jumanji, the Dare cards mutate to match whoever's playing the game.

[@CapitaoBrasilConfia]

True

[@andreas_gaming_24]

It's absolutely insane that a board game is so powerful, that it can take over the world. Every. Step. Of the way. Kinda like Jumanji Also really funny video by the way :)

[@calebpribyl5152]

I insane like these episodes where these characters are playing a dangerous card game (like jumanji) There’s a lot of potential and creative ways Treehouse of horror also did a episode similar to this! (Edit) I love these episodes.

[@slyuq]

Imagine if a side affect of the game was to alter the eyes of those who play it, as they’ll never see it in the same light again. Gumball and Darwin are the first to change, as they already know, with the rest changing as the episode goes on. That would be a cool in universe explanation for the eyes.

[@hola-nh7ft]

But why did the parents change style even the that was their first time

[@slyuq]

@@hola-nh7ft ngl I wrote this out without thinking

[@Citcleanimations]

Y’know…most shows change designs with no explanation…that idea could’ve changed a lot of things…

[@eslamvszombies1713]

Thank you for reviewing this great episode. It's one of the best eps in the show and I absolutely love it.

[@arogustus3984]

This episode is definitely one of my favorites. Just a bunch of well paced jokes and clever concepts mushed together in an 11 minute episode. From meta bits like the ominous music being heard and invoked by the game itself, to the crazy dodges the characters are forced into, and some Gumball spins on classic dares, like the prank pizza. My favorite joke will always be Richard with the Donut Cop, though. Always manages to bring a smile to my face.

[@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer]

"And what did that man steal?!" "...A kiss~" That will never not make me giggle

[@IShy2]

My favorite joke is Richard eating so many hot dogs and Darwin's arm has to suffer through it

[@HumanLmao]

i definitely believe that the procrastinators should be in the search for the best it's hilarious, relatable, and wacky for the entire duration and is one of my personal favorites of the show

[@mmrw]

This is definitely a personal favorite episode, feels almost clip show-esque in that we get to see the characters in a lot of varying situations in one episode but the overall theme that ties them together is just so compelling too

[@wickedshadesproductions5254]

this is by far one of my favorite episodes I’ve seen it a hundreds time, the concept is brilliant, whoever came up with the dares deserved a raise and I died laughing every time Richard reports his theft to the cop

[@aguynamedjairo]

ngl, i miss old instruction manuals, they just had so much in them. from Easter eggs to just plain awesome art, really wish we could see that again.

[@paul329869]

Yeah, me, too!

[@robertfaulkkner5508]

I never knew such an early joke in the show would spawn such an amazing episode. Great video btw

[@avazquez01]

I’m pretty sure they mentioned at one point that it was the FIRST Dodge or Dare they created and the ones seen in previous episodes are the remade ones that arent reality-bending.

[@bengi8907]

As a person who is currently on a rewatching of TAWOG, I was thinking of how hilarious and interesting the Dodge or Dare episode was as I was watching the Third where the game was first mentioned because Gumball and Darwin we were they were bored of each other. Timing is interesting. Another amazing video.

[@Wublinner127]

4:15 all I heard was *smack* *smack* *smack* *gasp* *his* OWOWOWO *smash*

[@officialasa]

When the cop blinked and Richard changed his outfit in a nanosecond I died Cartoons are the best man. Some absurd shit like that only works WRT an animated medium

[@germans_lol7259]

Given thqt the game did a jumanji, you could say it changed the cards up to make them suffer. Like the games alive. And it constantly does that for each time they play

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Ah yes dodj or daar, the game that's possibly even more dangerous than Jumanji.

[@Ink_Fazkitty]

Only Gumball and Darwin knew it was dangerous, so what happened the first time they played? Or first few times. Nicole did mention how they used to play it, which would typically mean more then once. Edit: legit four seconds after i commented this he brought up how they played it in previous episodes of the show and now i look dumb.

[@dontemorgan1517]

A literally demon or witch doctor cursed this game just for laughs. This reminds of that movie the cartoon network work aired where the board game come to live when you play it starred with Robin Williams.

[@drawnsequence]

This episode is what got me into Gumball in the first place. What a legendary show

[@richardkirkland6805]

I think the reason they didn't do this is specifically because of scalpers. They would buy the collectible limited items in as high a quantity as they can, before reseelling them with a high markup. I don't think Cartoon Network wants those kinds of people to profit off of their IPs.

[@alialbannay6707]

3:55 hey I love reading instruction manuals

[@freakytostadacartoon]

Me too.

[@o0OMaku]

i think what makes the plot of the episode interesting is that if they didn't take the game as seriously the episode would've been alot duller, since they had Darwin point out that everything that affects them is only as real as they believe it to be so it makes it sound like if they would've just treated it like a normal game none of that would've happened

[@thekiller7994]

Honestly, how has this board game not been seized by the police or government?

[@Citcleanimations]

Simple, the awesome store owner must’ve found some deal with it and Richard must’ve gotten it for the kids to play with (not knowing it could cause ultimate chaos! As always)

[@michaelstrong5383]

This board game is like the love-child of Jumanji and Zathura turned up to eleven.

[@NMBrayanAmaya]

this episode absolutely made me laugh, awesome as always jay imagine if this became a real game lol

[@N12015]

The 90's Jumanji is one of those films that are not masterpieces, but is just a very solid piece of media that's very entertaining to watch. No wonder why Gumball would seamlessly incorporate it to the show to make it also an spectacle to watch.

[@robbierotten2874]

ok but imagine pulling “nobody is allowed to breathe until the game is over” on turn one

[@moxxiedemongamer3019]

11:38 when it comes to D&D or to Video game related episodes Gumball nails it

[@humatrixf9076]

3:47 Hey I read those booklets! They make it easier to play, well for the Wii and PS2 games, and the PS3.

[@The_Fifth_legion]

4:59 is it possible that the reason the dares seemed to have been written for the episode be because the game wrote them itself, we know it has the power to make the dodj's happen so isn't it possible for it to make the dares fit the person it's for?

[@complex2live]

Good point

[@samsilverman8579]

I love this theory

[@BinglesP]

3:36 My man, board game instructions are a lot more necessary to read than video game instruction manuals

7:10 I don’t know but anytime I hear Grove Street, I think about Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Maybe someone in the Gumball team really like GTA San Andreas or something who knows.

[@anonymousinkproductions8624]

I actually think that why the cards are tailored to this episode is because the game is sentient, as shown in the first part, just like it was tailored to Miss Simian

[@SnazzyjazzBro]

This episode is easily one of my favorite episode due to the chaos and how much this show reminds me of the OG Jumunji

[@jonbrewer297]

So, Jumanji reference. Personally I would've thought the most dangerous board game is where one player has to find the other players, and whenever that player occupies the same space as other players, they're eliminated.
