Review: The Amazing World of Gumball ”The Parking”

Spoilers Below

The Wattersons head on over to the mall, but they can’t find any parking. The lot outside of the store had a couple of teases when it came to people getting ready to leave, thereby giving us a spot, but to no avail. Next up, the parking garage, which again, had no available spaces, but featured promises of expansion. We then get a montage of various places around town that had parking potential, but nothing works out. It gets so bad, that Nicole tries to deface a car in a handicap parking spot, but all that buys her is bad karma,

Our Take

The final episode of five straight premieres of Gumball was funny, funny, funny. A simple premise, featuring a gag that is all too common, but the delivery was there. Richard drawing parking lines that lead to a pile of cars outside was great. The horror movie spot was good, but shame on Cartoon Network for not letting us see the family in the boink swatter. In any case, parking is a nightmare, but this week’s episode of Gumball proved to be anything but.
