Just don’t buy any handheld consoles from a van. Trust me. Have you seen “The Master”? What’s your favorite Gumball episode? Let me know in the comments!

Richard Watterson is already chaotic, but here, he’s a puppet with zero autonomy—and the voice acting sells every moment. Whether he’s mechanically declaring “I must fight a granny” or robotically praising a mailbox, he somehow makes being a human video game character both terrifying and hilarious.

When Gumball jokingly presses “A” to make Richard “eat the air,” Richard immediately starts chomping on invisible food. When Gumball selects “Fight a granny,” Richard runs off to battle an elderly woman at the mall. What follows is a hilarious, high-stakes chase as the kids try to wrestle the controller away from their clueless dad before he accidentally deletes himself from existence. 1. The Retro Gaming Aesthetic The episode brilliantly shifts between the normal 2D/3D hybrid world of Elmore and a clunky 8-bit RPG interface. The pixelated menus, the grating chiptune music, and the hilariously vague commands (like “Use foot”) are a love letter to anyone who grew up with early Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest games.
