Once again, looking at a standout episode of The Amazing World of Gumball for today’s header. Season 2’s “The Job” features unemployable stay-at-home dad Richard Watterson doing the unthinkable and getting a job delivering pizza. Gumball and Darwin have to help deliver the pizzas that he lets fall off the back of his scooter, with mixed results.
Unfortunately, the sheer wrongness of Richard Watterson holding down a job starts to unravel the fabric of the universe, leading to some fun “reality decays into different visual styles” sequences.
Also, Banana Joe and his family get trapped in a time loop singing an excited little “pizza, pizza, PIZZA!” jingle, and it’s pretty cute.
Eventually the family is able to get Richard fired (thus saving the universe) by exposing the clever pizza-stealing scam Richard had bragged to them about at the start of the episode. Infographics provided for anyone who wants to try this at their own pizza job.
