The Trans Amazing World of Gumball Episode

[@jessy4616]

There's also the part in one episode where Gumball tries to do cheerleading, and is upset. His mother thinks it's because he has to wear a skirt, but he tells her that he's upset because "what if I'm not as good as the other girls".

[@Sdir]

[@KristopherPrime]

so he made a hilariously ridiculous joke where it seems the nosense of the attire was starting to get to him a little. doesn't count as anything "trans related".

[@CalamitasCalliope]

A very interesting part about Richard is the fact that crossdressing is a fairly consistent part of his character. If a plan involves someone having to dress up as an attractive woman, Richard is almost always the one who does it, and it never really goes down the usual transphobic route. It usually just works

[@gandalf_the_purplewithredd2057]

[@Floofy_Fox_Gal]

Sometimes it doesn’t even have to involve dressing up, he just likes dressing in drag

[@Numbabu]

He’s just a queen. It’s a nice hobby.

[@donutcat5535]

And there’s even the whole episode where he becomes an old lady so he can have some friends Edit: oops, I made this comment before I watched the video

[@woodykrska9947]

Like that one time in the episode where Darwin becomes a dictator and overthrows the town, and they have to distract a guard to get into the complex, and Richard dresses up as an attractive woman, only to just throw a fire hydrant at the guard. And when asked why he had to dress up as a woman, he just says “so I can do this” and literally spins so his skirt can go spinny. You know, this show was a lot stranger than I remember, and a lot more queer.

[@laraprisma6381]

One thing is, Richard has already shown himself to be a drag fan in another episode, if I'm not mistaken it's the episode in which Darwin becomes a dictator. And no one in his family questions that he's in drag, I mean, they question whether it was necessary to knock out the guard, and he just does a pirouette!

[@woodykrska9947]

His skirt literally went spinny!

I always loved how Gumball has dealt with gender non-conformity. Definitely one of the reasons that I'm whatever gender is funniest at that moment.

[@JayLeeBeanz]

It sure does help that many of the characters are inanimate objects! Balloons and pieces of paper don't have a set gender, they can be whatever they want or none at all

[@rosieg6989]

Gumball isn't perfect, but I love how there is a lot of gender-norm breaking, and anytime Gumball or Darwin are made fun of for "feminine" things they either clap back or at the very least the show makes it clear that those teasing them are in the wrong. One of Gumball and Darwin's favourite games when they were around 5 or 6 was princess. There mom is also the money maker in the family, loves among other things karate, and sometimes hulks out and beats people up. One of my favourite moments from the dad is immediately after gumball is born he holds him to his chest while Nicole rests and feeds Gumball by taping a cartoon of milk with a straw to his chest, there are many ways he could have fed him or not at all and just wait for Nicole to wake up, but he decided to do it in a way that was closest to natural for a new born baby.

There was also an episode where gumball is trying to impress his crush penny by trying out for the cheerleading team. His mom shows up and he's crying, Nicole assumes its because he's embarrassed about wearing a skirt, but he immediately shuts that idea down and instead starts crying about how the leotard is unflattering, and is worried that the other girls might laugh at him for being terrible at cheerleading. Also him and Darwin dressing as girls to make a doll commercial for fun, Darwin strutting around in heels, and the MANY other times Richard has dressed in drag. Gumball is pretty lax with gender roles and gender presentation.

[@lilpetz500]

Fun fact; Gumball has a deadname, but it's more so because he managed to absolutely humiliate himself with his birth name, with remembering it causing him to have an identity crisis, and make the name into a toxicly masculine alter ego, complete with Richard in a dress and makeup again. Idk, could be a gender story?

It seemed to be more so personality change as result of family enforcement, no so much genderdysphoria not being allowed to be atleast helped. Though I see how it can be seen as both, It's about I'd more so individualism in accepting your differences, as well unlike her family she prefers to be out her shell or locked personality. Which can be viewed gay in the closet, Individual with a Gender they'd like to move into or a person restricted for their own self due to Fear of failure.(personal one) It is mainly challeneging preconcived notions that don't really work. espically with those you care about.

There actually is a sort of trans/gay story with the gender-fuckery fashion diva character Leslie (the flower)! There's a lot of exploration of gender roles and gender identity all hidden in the background (occasionally he's the focus but it's usually about his or Gumball's ego). Also in an early season episode, he's in a "girl's only" treehouse talking about boyfriends (they were still figuring out the characters so his gender wasn't defined but it still counts).

Gumball is a pretty nonbinary name ngl. And it's his chosen name as well. Also, the parents are a gender role flip. Nicole is the breadwinner that is scary and Richard is the stay at home parent who trys to make everyone feel better. They also say screw conformity pretty often.

Under the surface, Gumball is a very LGBT+ positive show. There are a lot of gags where characters will imply that they're attracted to someone of the same gender, but it never feels like the punchline is just "gay people funny." There's also the iconic joke where love is being described, showing a cute animation of a man and a woman experiencing signs of attraction, before they run past each other into the arms of another man and another woman. The show then proclaims there are no rules to love, so they dance instead.

[@godslaughter]

I mean this with utmost love AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Finally, my time has come. I love this show so much, I think the reason why it works so well is because the fuckery is taken to such an extent that the most comfortable aren't safe, and the show is overall very inclusive. The dress episode is "eh, it's alright" in my opinion, but they significantly improved their writing afterwards. It's pretty obvious how far they really wanted to go with the inclusion of funny queer topics and punchlines which are never looked down upon, Richard is a crossdressing queen, Leslie is very likely a gay fashion icon, Gumball I think is canonically pansexual, the episodes with the Hot Dog Guy were purposefully written with gay undertones, Gumball is also obsessed with Rob, his nemesis, which also has gay undertones (there's a whole episode in which Gumball acts like he's being dumped by Rob after he had started searching for a better "guy to hate", the writers also have this ongoing meta joke regarding Gumball and Darwin being in a brolationship but some people took it far and they even included Gumwin ships, it's hysterical. The show is chaos. So far I remember: Richard crossdresses in the episode where Darwin freaks out over safety and creates a totalitarian regime in which nothing dangerous can happen (censorship, proofing, etc), Richard dresses as a "hot elf" for a roleplaying session (?), Richard crossdresses to become "man mom" in the episode where Gumball's alternate identity takes over because he found out about his real name (Zack) and is having an internal fight over it, and he also has an entire episode dedicated to him where he crossdresses alongside other crossdressing men who wanna hang out together in drag. There is likely something else that I am forgetting.

[@nobody.of.importance]

Beautiful chaos is a great way to sum up this show. The episode that always sticks out in my mind (though not related to gender fuckery) was the one where Richard gets a job and that somehow causes reality itself to begin falling apart xD

Grandma JoJo's controlling behavior and toxic relationships was a re-occurring thing in the episodes that feature her, and it's presented as being a large part of why Richard is the way he is. Also, Louie is Richard's step-father who married JoJo after Richard was an adult, because Richard's biological dad abandoned the family when he was younger. Heavy stuff for a kid's show, but it's always played for laughs.

Golden Girls has a loooooot queer fans, especially back in the 90s. Not to mention that the Golden Girls was very progressive for its time, still is in some respects.

Yeah, ya never covered the ones I emailed ya about! Penny's character is such a trans allegory that I'm disappointed you didn't cover em. Maybe a part 2, some time in the future? Loved the video tho. That dress looks really cute on ya. c:

"Guys only want one thing and it's to get dolled up to turn into a mature woman to hit on dudes with your gal pals, I guess???" As a Trans Woman, fuck yeah! That sounds about right.

[@BrawlSnorlax]

There mom is out if his league the whole family accepts it. Richered even tells a woman to keep quite about it. I think she was flirting with Nicole.

[@kersingi]

Asking for the "The Trans Zombie Land Saga Episode" for the engagement.

[@Danund81]

Oooo! I was hoping we'd get to this one eventually!

[@supersinger9000]

I'm glad someone agrees with my transfem Gumball headcanon! I'm pretty sure they're also bi/pan. He seems to genuinely really like his girlfriend Penny, but there's also the tension between him and Hot Dog Guy, his obvious infatuation for his nemesis Rob, and the fact that he once kissed a dude onscreen. There's even a joke where his classmates are making bets on his sexuality. There is nothing Cis or Het about Gumball Watterson.

[@junebunny0712]

I like the way you think. Mspec Transfem Gumball headcanon acquired 😊

[@TwinRiver100]

12:24 (SANDRA DICKINSON?!) THE SANDRA DICKINSON, as in American version of Trillian from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?! oh snap, I can totally hear it now! also bumped this episode up a little more as one of my favorite episodes! 😆🔥

[@Aletakar]

I have eaten a candle and I was okay. Did not taste good tho

[@tabsterg]

like ate the whole thing? or just a bit out of curiosity¿

[@Aletakar]

@tabsterg For curiosity. I was blowing out a birthday cake and was licking icing off the candle and the impulsive thought sounded like why not?

[@afrophoenix3111]

"Golden Girls/Gumball crossover" was nowhere near my Bingo card.

[@ellendegenerate.]

i feel like, with my special interest in this show, i know exactly what episode this video is about edit: i was right :3

[@nobody.of.importance]

Dude, same tho! The Amazing World of Gumball is in my opinion the greatest cartoon to grace TV. It's brilliant in almost every respect.

[@briannem.6787]

finally, catgirl representation

[@mailam8846]

so it was a drag episode? that was pretty much flawless? yeah nice

[@respectthefish4992]

im glad i watched this show as a kid

[@dm.3145]

Samee I loved it so much

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

There's a trans episode of the cartoon about the cat and goldfish family? Color me intrigued.

[@RaraZeCat]

There’s also two episodes centred around penny that’s an allegory :3

[@Stolas.the.Enby1312]

Samantha got one HELL of a glowup!

[@Site_42]

Ayyy love to see the 100K number on your channel 🎉

[@spongewaffle]

Yo the scp channel is here let's go!

[@Rabbitibi]

Just when I was looking for something to watch while I had lunch, great video as always!

[@nobody.of.importance]

4:12 To be fair, I remember feeling the same way as at that age. Most of the time when they call off sick, you know they're going to recover in time. Might as well enjoy the day off! A lot of students will get very serious and concerned when they hear a teacher is hospitalized, though. I think that's reasonable. Not complaining, just sharing my thoughts as I watch.

[@Cutecat-wy6dq]

The candles were brought there by Mr Small so I wouldn’t be that surprised that there was some funky stuff in em. The guy is definitely a stoner I do not trust him.

[@Cutecat-wy6dq]

Can’t believe I forgot to mention him being a femboy, he is so babygirl for that

[@natachasmith2539]

lily i just want to say i love seeing your videos pop up on my feed, i always think they look like the most rediculous video topic but then they are just always so great

[@Scuzzbopper.]

Show Suggestion: Quark (1977, TV Series). A short-lived (8 episodes) US sci-fi sitcom series, parodying Star Trek and other sci-fi. One of the regular supporting characters was “Gene/Jean” and I’m just going to quote wikipedia: “Gene/Jean is a ‘transmute’, a humanoid being with a complete set of both male and female chromosomes. He/she serves as the ship's engineer.” All the episodes are available on KZbin at the moment.

[@bookshelfhoney]

Lily I'd love to see you cover Summer Camp Island someday!

[@bookshelfhoney]

The character puddle is non binary, there's other LGBT representation for sure, I'm trying to remember if there's any trans episode(s) specifically

[@sarafontanini7051]

Lily simpson: here's some evidence that gumball could be trans that wuld be cool to explore if the writers wanna mess around with the status quo and such the gumball writers, hopefully: write that down, write that down

[@BlissfulAriana]

I'm glad you found your niche. You're cool.

[@ebetg4191]

oh i'm PUMPED for this one, fuck yes

[@katwim9169]

Richard cross dresses countless times. He just like doing that. There’s a lot of gender fuckery in gumball. I love it so much

[@codenamegamma]

The graphic at 22:45 i thought was spongebob having a psychotic break for a minute.

[@thaosrules]

i for one would gladly watch a four hour life is strange video

[@Latte_bam]

i usaully took it as richard being a drag queen but this works too

[@NeverCallKriss]

I thought yesterday about Lily making a video about this episode, weird.

[@Panguinolucy]

Make it only for you of course Also still waiting on Alluka from hunter x hunter season 6

[@dyrr836]

The comments you showed at the end are so funny, because you always see those same types of guys claim that any gay/trans character is "headcanon" or "a reach" but meanwhile they have to literally reverse engineer the entire themes of a media's writing to come to the conclusion that it's "based anti trans" rhetoric. I can't imagine being that illiterate.

[@Noellecroptop]

22:38 The graf looks like SpongeBob doing the chad face and wearing glasses

[@fritzskrivvens8727]

It would be really embarrassing if Gumball came out before Gene Belcher.

[@makkusaiko]

"Wait what" was my reaction when I realised that there is another trans episode besides the one where gumball has to wear the wedding dress to school
