Top 10 Best The Amazing World of Gumball Episodes

Every episode of The Amazing World of Gumball feels like Elmore got stuffed into a blender with cartoons, internet jokes, family drama, and one very unlucky banana. You get a blue cat, his goldfish brother, a rabbit dad, a workaholic cat mom, and a town full of characters who look like they escaped from six different shows and somehow all pay rent in the same universe.

The best episodes are not just random noise with googly eyes slapped on top. They are weird on purpose. You might get a parody that goes completely off the rails, a school story that turns into total madness, or a surprisingly sweet moment hiding under three layers of sarcasm and screaming. That is the Gumball magic trick. It makes you laugh at something ridiculous, then sneaks in a real feeling before you can protect yourself.

Now it is your turn to decide which episodes deserve the top spots. Vote for the ones you quote, rewatch, defend way too seriously, and still find funny even after you know every joke coming. Elmore has plenty of chaos to go around, but only the best episodes belong at the top.

The Top Ten

  1. The Tape

    This episode makes me sad because my best friend and I used to watch this every single time she came to my house. Now she has transitioned to a boy, has new friends, and hasn't been my best friend for three years. I love this episode with all my heart, and it means a lot to me.

    Hilarious. The style of the episode is very different from many cartoon episodes I've seen, in a good way. However, I probably shouldn't have re-watched it on a night before a funeral because I got a giggle fit halfway through it. Oops.

    I liked the part when Darwin said, "And then he met a beautiful woman who he fell in love with. But he wasn't emotionally ready, so he had to defeat her." Then the drawing of Gumball punched her to death!

  2. The Shell

    This episode just aired 11 days ago, and already 8?! This is controversial! Possibly one of the best episodes, given its high rating in 11 days.

    My favorite Gumball episode. This is why Penny became one of my favorite characters in the show.

    I GUARANTEE YOU someone came out of the closet because of this episode. And that just gives me a warm feeling inside myself.

  3. The Choices

    Definitely the most charming and cute, not the most hilarious. That might be The Console, The Others, The Singing, or The Faith (another great episode).

    This is the best and most emotional episode of the whole show!

    It proves that Nicole isn't the worst character on the show.

  4. The Remote

    The ending was incredibly unexpected and hilarious! There is an excellent "Jackie Chan" style scene where they fight for the remote. If I would describe this episode with one word, it would be "Epic."

    Love the Richard, Gumball, Darwin, and Nicole chase scene at the parking lot, especially Richard! And the end was the darkest in Gumball's history.

    Love everything about this! The humor is perfect, and it was entertaining to watch the Wattersons quarrel over a remote. I absolutely loved the ending!

  5. Christmas

    This should be number 1. This is the best episode ever! It's all about the true meaning of Christmas and believing in people. I rate this a 10/10.

    I love this episode! It's hilarious! I was laughing all the way through, though it's really sweet at the end.

    I can't believe they ran over Santa when he was trying to deliver presents!

  6. The Origins

    It was way too funny. This is the episode where Darwin meets Gumball. This is funny due to how the other fishes die in an accident.

    I love this episode. How is it 25? It should at least be in the top ten.

    Either this or The Choices is the best episode.

  7. The Matchmaker

    Gumball thought Darwin liked Teri, but he likes Carrie after all.

  8. The Job

    OMIGOSH, where do I begin? You don't know how much I died at this episode. It was so HILARIOUS!

    Best parts:

    1. Mr. Small

    2. The Banana Family chanting pizza

    3. Richard's red eyes in the family picture

    4. The chase scene

    5. The opera music

    6. The rap (I should've made it number 2)

    I love this episode so much.

    Very astonishing! And cool effects. The best part I liked was when Gumball, Darwin, and Anais shouted, "Dad, stop!" At the same time, they changed styles every 50 milliseconds.

    Whoever said The Signal is better than this is wrong. The Signal will always be the worst Gumball episode.

  9. The Copycats

    This is an episode about Gumball rip-offs, but actually, there's a real Gumball rip-off. The rip-off is a Chinese version of Gumball called Miracle Star. It's upsetting that China tried to take the credit. Still, this episode was funny.

    Best episode so far. They even roast the real-life Gumball copycats in this episode! Hilarious! Even the way the episode was set up is awesome, and it's good that my favorite actors went out with a bang.

    This episode is a roast against The Amazing World of Gumball's Chinese rip-off. This episode is the perfect example of what dark comedy is, and I LOVE it!

  10. The Uploads

    It was a hard choice between this and The Tape, but this one is just a smidge better to me. One of the newer episodes, I love the advertisement and game review. Couldn't stop laughing at this. Definitely the best in the end.

    Me on the internet: "Alright, just one more." *After video* "Oh yeah, new SMG4!" And so on.

    I love the saxophone dog and everything else, but I hate the ending.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    The Candidate

    This episode is extremely bad. It's way too mean spirited.

  12. ?

    The Future

    This should've been the finale.

    13. The Contenders

  13. The Finale

    Deserves to be a lot higher. This show is at its best when it's doing meta humor. Same for The Sweater.

    THE END. Of season 2 and the beginning of season 3!

  14. The Helmet

    What the what! This episode should be in the top ten. I like this episode. Hah!

  15. The Dress

    Oh, please. Gumball gets everybody fooled. I mean, this is Nicole's dress, and it should not fit him. Well, Darwin goes berserk for him.

    I think that this episode is truly amazing, and that is coming from a dude who is "meh" about Gumball, who doesn't care less about new shows like Gumball when he can watch old CN shows.

    This episode is totally the funniest and the best episode of The Amazing World of Gumball.

  16. The DVD

    This episode was the first, and it was hilarious. That's saying something.

    I love this episode. I hate to say it, but I don't like "The Dress" at all.

  17. The Joy

    I love this episode personally, especially how Penny gets infected, as she is my least favorite character. Besides the fact that she was left like all the others: frothing, rainbow drooling, dilated eyes, and smiling like a creep. She annoys me every time I see her shell version. Thank God The Shell came out. She actually looks cute.

    This episode is so dark, yet so hilarious at the same time. Ms. Simian was surprisingly awesome in this episode, as she is normally a character I usually don't enjoy. If the writers can make someone enjoy watching a character they usually don't like, that's definitely a good thing.

  18. The Love

    This is the best season 4 episode! I love the song that played at the beginning and ending of the episode. I love Bobert in this episode. He is a very nice robot.

  19. The End

    Gumball tries to marry Penny and Carmen. They think the end has come, and the port-a-potty Richard thing was hilarious.

  20. The Refund

    "Refund the world,

    Refund it sooner.

    Uphold the rights that little Jimmy had as a consumer.

    Now he's living in a box.

    He's a victim of deceit.

    And even though he still had the receipt!"

    Though it is season 1, it was the best episode with the duo of Gumball and Darwin, which includes lots of humor and also a funny story and song.

    I LOVE THIS ONE! It has a great, funny sense of humor to it, and it has a hilarious song, "Refund the World!" Total up rating!

  21. The Disaster

  22. Halloween

    This is a great special, but it's scary.

  23. The Console

    This was AWESOME. The fight scenes were cool, the end was hilarious, and it has the world's only funny butt jokes.

    I like the anime references in this one.

  24. The Gripes

  25. The Coach

    This was one of the last good episodes of season 3. I laughed hard every minute.

  26. The Boombox

    This is the episode where Gumball and Darwin react to ElmoreSearch videos. Banana Rocks, Puppy suddenly falls asleep, Trust Fail, and Crying Forever. The episode was funny. (Boombox talk) It sounded like he's running from the butt police. I will love Juke and the Boombox.

    Best Gumball episode.

    I love the hilarious jokes, Crying Forever being one of them, and Juke being the protagonist. He deserves it.

    This episode is from the seasons after season one, and those ones are the funniest. But this is different. I was laughing out loud when I saw this for the first time. Ben Bocquelet, please make this show until season 10, 20, 100000!

  27. The Wicked
