Robison is how I imagine if Nicole never met Richard just angry, hates everyone being happy, miserable, scared of being abandoned or truly alone and cares only about being in a rich status

[@draconsylvester7682]

I know there would be people comparing Mr. Robinson to Squidward, but I always see him as the Mister Wilson to Gumball's Dennis the Menace.

Michael Strong That makes perfect sense!

[@MaherandIbrahimsAvengers]

Omg yes

[@KanoKingoftheworld]

Actually still getting inspired by squidward,his nose

[@nathanielscott3652]

One of my favorite moments from him was when he tried to be nice in “The Heart” And I quote.... “Gumball, you have massive hips”

[@Pioxys]

7:04 with a first name like that, Mr.Robinson life is a miracle. *Edit:* Also that moment when even Nicole was frightened by them.

[@DJTileTurnip]

I think Mr Robinson was a well written character, apart from the fact that he's commonly used as slapstick, but I think his personality is great

[@elijahbaker781]

3:19 I love how he just regained consciousness just to degrade Rocky and then passes out again.

I feel like this is unrelated just a bit but this is the perfect time to say this Mr.Robinson looks like Raymond from Animal Crossing

The Sale has to be one of the top 5 funniest episodes in the entire series. Watching Gumball and Darwin try to keep Mr. Robinson from moving away was hilarious!

[@magicsocks4031]

I had some good memories watching that episode lmao

[@alicebthegachaweirdo8378]

One of my favourite Gumball episodes. Especially the song in that episode

[@yescaluvy1612]

An analysis of Alan would be something I'd like!! I just love how sweet and friendly he is, the only reason Gumball really hates Alan is cuz Alan is an objectively better person. Also, the episode where he's sad and because if that, elmore loses color is a good episode, showing how even someone that happy and positive loses hope if others don't learn. Aka I just love this character.

[@kiratascarrinu758]

I think The Heart gives him so much more depth that was needed. I think the end is due to him realizing that he could get away with what he had been doing because Gumball and Darwin liked him.

[@paw9122]

missed opportunity to say "they have a rocky relationship" 2:52

Why not delve into the “cynical straight man” arc, like with Squidward or Mr. Gus?? Anyone else?

[@duckiemomo7511]

I never understood why they do so much for him when he treats them so terrible 😂 early gumball and Darwin had good intentions just couldn’t execute them. I do wanna see his relationship with rocky more and have him acknowledge that rocky has done a lot for him. Also please do something maybe on Tobias and didn’t he have a sister that just disappeared? lol great video again! ❤️😌

[@mitchfletcher2386]

It was confirmed that Rachel has gone to college.

[@Noobster2731]

Let's not forget that he canonically violated over 14 international peace agreements once.

[@ratherande]

You missed out on saying his relationship with Rocky is, well, _rocky_

[@dilltamacipher8374]

7:05 im impressed they manage to make nicole of all people scared with that face considering nicole waterson is the most fearsome being in the family with her rage and pure easy accessable powerset from her anime fight

[@Exis247]

I think that Gumball and Darwin see Mr.Robinson as more of a father figure than their actual father. which knowing Richard, that checks out pretty well.

[@Dartkitten]

Can you do a character analysis on Asami? Yes shes a rich girl but in her birthday episode we learn that the other students of Elmore J. H. despitely want to please her and are afraid of her cause of her dad. I can imagine kids that have parents/relatives that are in positions of power like police or army soldiers might symbolize with her

[@zteck123]

I assumed Gumball and Darwin liked him so much because they saw him as an actual father figure when compared to Richard. Al,most as if he's the other half of a father they were missing in their lives.

Ok that was an amazing cut. It going from gumball about to touch Mr Robinson's car to me getting an ad was genius. I don't know if KZbin or the KZbinr has any involvement in the location of the ad but it was a great placement. Because the pent up suspension that you know something bad is going to happen but they having to sit through an ad or two just to see the next scene.

[@saskestheman]

How about Carry. I feel like there was more potential when it came to interactions between her and Gumball. They seemed to get along better and Penny was even shown to be jealous over her once.

[@mitchfletcher2386]

That was only thrown in at the end of that episode. Otherwise, Carrie/Gumball was poked fun at in The Shippening.

I would love a video breakdown similar to this one on our good ol' void mistake Rob! He has an interesting character that also has more to him. I've been rewatching the entire series from start to finish and realized his character (while the main villain and focused on a lot) is still underappreciated in my eyes and is worth checking out. Hopefully, you'll take this into consideration. Until then, take care.
