The Amazing World of Gumball brought Cartoon
Network a new generation of watchers thanks to its light-hearted adventures featuring
the Watterson Family. This clan of blue cats, pink bunnies, and
a fish with legs always finds itself in one form of trouble or another, and it’s bound
to be hilarious each time. The town of Elmore has quite the colorful
cast of characters, and it’s time for us to rank them on our spectrum of morality from
the most pure-hearted to the most corrupt. I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and this is The
Amazing World of Gumball: Good to Evil. Since Elmore is such a huge place, we couldn’t
include every character on the list, but we’ve made sure to include most characters who are
the main focus of at least one episode. As usual, we’ll be counting our way from
the good down to the bad, starting with the purest character. Hey everybody, Kyle here. Sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to take a
moment to mention our sponsor. The Amazing World of Gumball has been a highly
requested Good-to-Evil episode; and if you’re looking for a place to watch the full series,
it’s actually region blocked on Netflix here in the U.S. However, our sponsor, Atlas VPN has a great
solution that will allow you to access cartoons, shows and movies that aren’t available on
streaming services in the U.S. but are available in other countries. As you can see, when I try to search for The
Amazing World of Gumball on Netflix, it’s unavailable. But Atlas VPN allows me to change the server
to another country so the show will instantly become available. It’s that easy. Once you connect to a server, your device

Idaho. He doesn’t get that much spotlight - in
fact he’s only got a couple of episodes centered around him - but from what we do
see of him, he’s a very friendly and kindhearted kid. Idaho lives a humble life, as shown in “The
Bumpkin”, when Gumball invites him over to teach his family how to live without luxuries
like TV and takeout food. However, Gumball can’t handle this for even
one day and goes behind Idaho and his family’s backs to return to his life of sugar and electronics. He also gives Idaho a taste of what that’s
like, which is a bit too much for the spud to handle, so he returns to living on the
farm with his potato family while the Wattersons go back to their old ways. Honestly, what earns him the top spot is simply
his lack of faults. Nearly every other character has a massive
flaw that is just too great to ignore, but given that he has much less screen time, we
only really get to see the good that Idaho’s done, like bringing the Watterson family together. Sometimes he teases Gumball along with the
other kids at the school, but that’s really as bad as it gets. He really proves that there ain’t nothing
wrong with a simple life. The silver medal of good has to go to Rocky
Robinson. Despite being raised by two of the meanest
people in Elmore, Rocky is very laid back and kind to everyone. He does quite a bit for Elmore Junior High,
as he’s the school’s bus driver, janitor, and cafeteria worker; and he still loves his
parents, despite them openly admitting that they aren’t happy with his life choices. But he’s got one major fault that keeps
him out of the top spot - Rocky’s kind of a creep when it comes to romance. This is put on full display in “The Slide,”
when Gumball and Darwin force Rocky into online dating, but Rocky already has his mind set
on one girl who he saw for a few seconds at the mall who he calls “the love of his life.” He and the boys spend the entire episode going
on a path of theft, assault, and destruction in order to get to that girl, after which
she obviously rejects him because Rocky is a violent stalker. In fairness, a lot of the damage in that episode
was caused by Gumball and Darwin, but it’s still a really bad look for Rocky. He could definitely be better with women,
but at least he’s not a jerk to everyone else like his parents. Our first main character is taking the bronze
medal of good; it’s Darwin Watterson. Darwin was brought into the family as the
pet fish, but thanks to his love for Gumball, he was able to grow legs and become his own
independent person. Darwin is the kindest and most principled
one of the Watterson clan, and he’s not afraid to call out Gumball or his other friends
when they’re in the wrong; however, Darwin is also very easily pulled into Gumball’s
schemes even if he has some hesitation in the beginning. He can also be a bit self-righteous, and this
makes him hypocritical when he scolds people while ignoring his own faults. For example, most fans will remember “The
Safety” where Darwin practically becomes the dictator of Elmore by censoring everything
he deems to be unsafe, ironically making the town more hostile and dangerous than ever. Despite these flaws, Darwin still has a good
moral compass and whenever he does something truly bad, it’s normally because he’s
being influenced by other people, mainly Gumball . Next from the Watterson family is the youngest
member, Anais. Anais is so smart that she’s a grade ahead
of her brothers despite being only four years old. This also means she’s generally the most
mature and rational person in her family, often helping them to resolve disputes like
in “The Flakers” when she helps Gumball and Darwin make up and then stops her dad
from destroying the town while in an anesthetic daze. However, Anais can also be very deceptive
and manipulative, as shown in “The Remote” when she turns her whole family against each
other and locks them out of the house so she can watch her show uninterrupted. She also has a bit too much of her mother’s
temper and overly competitive nature, which can lead to some violent outbursts from time
to time. Despite her age, I don’t think we can say
that she’s “too young to know better” because she’s clearly more mentally mature
than even her parents, but Anais is rarely malicious and is usually the most responsible
person in her whole family. She just tends to use her intelligence to
get her own way whenever she can, which can sometimes be ethically questionable. Alan Keane is up next. On the surface, Alan appears to have little
to no character faults. He’s kind, understanding, forgiving, intelligent,
and he cares a lot about his friends and his girlfriend. In fact, he seems so perfect that Gumball
dedicates an entire episode to trying to bring out his dark side. After Gumball does everything in his power
to break him, Alan finally concedes and pretends to be angry to make Gumball feel better, which
only proves his desire for everyone to be happy. However, Gumball’s suspicions are somewhat
confirmed in “The Vision” when Gumball and Darwin find Alan’s secret manifesto
in which he plans to seize power and eradicate sadness across the world...by force. Whatever good intentions he may have, wanting
to become dictator of the world to coerce people into happiness does not look good for
his morality, which is why he’s much farther down than many people might assume. Next we have the town’s…everything, really
- Larry Needlemeyer. Larry almost has the whole town on his back
as shown in “The Pizza” when it's revealed that Larry works at nearly every business
in Elmore. How that’s even possible, I don’t know,
but the town quickly falls into a Mad Max style post apocalypse when he quits his jobs. Working this much puts him under a lot of
stress, and it doesn’t help when members of the Watterson family disrupt his work about
every other episode, but he’s almost single handedly keeping the town afloat, so that
definitely counts for something; although, there have been times when Larry’s done
some pretty questionable things, like when he refuses to fire Richard when the fact that
he has a job tears apart the fabric of the universe. That’s more stupid than it is malicious,
but he does end up firing Richard at the very last second regardless. He’s also fairly justified in disliking
the Wattersons after Gumball and Darwin completely destroy his life in “The Laziest,” even
though it doesn’t seem like he holds as much animosity towards them in the later seasons. Now we get to Gumball’s main love interest,
Penny Fitzgerald. She doesn’t have as much of a character
in the earlier seasons as she’s mainly just used as a plot device when the show needs
Gumball to make a fool of himself. However, in “The Shell” we not only see
their relationship finally develop, but we also see the side of her that has been locked
away in her...well...shell. Penny is actually a shapeshifter, but this
can be very dangerous as she’s much more unruly and hard to control in this state. She can unintentionally cause damage to her
surroundings, and since she’s already a pretty sensitive person, it can be dangerous
to be around her when she’s like that; however, Penny is normally very kind-hearted and she
isn’t afraid to go against the grain and stand up for other people, namely Gumball
when the whole class turns against him. Most of her faults are the result of the way
her father raised her, but we’ll get to him later. Next up is the school counselor, Mr. Small. He’s got quite a laid back, hippie-like
personality which probably comes from all that “herbal tea” he likes to drink. He tries his best to resolve the conflicts
between students (mostly caused by Gumball and Darwin), and he helps students to get
in touch with their emotions and deal with any trauma. Small definitely isn’t the most responsible,
as his “alternative medicine” tends to have disastrous results, like when he severely
deforms Gumball and Darwin in “The Silence.” This isn’t really a regular occurrence,
though, and Small normally has good intentions, so we’ll cut him some slack on this one. Just don’t trust let him perform acupuncture
ever again. We’re gonna give a quick mention to Sussie,
the chin...creature...thing. I honestly don’t have a whole lot to say
about her, we’re really only including her because people would probably complain if
we didn’t. Sussie seems to be constantly suffering from
psychedelic hallucinations, as shown in “The Weirdo.” Although she is very good-natured, her view
of the world is quite literally warped thanks to the googly eyes that she uses to see. This leads to some very strange behaviors
like eating out of the garbage and giving people mayonnaise out of her pockets. But Sussie is about the farthest thing from
malicious or selfish, so that’s enough to score her a spot in the good category. Rounding out the good characters is Banana
Joe. This guy is kind of a goofy wildcard. His main goal is just to laugh and to make
other people laugh at the expense of both himself and others. Most of his jokes don’t land, but he doesn’t
seem to notice one bit. In his most prominent appearance, “The Banana”,
Gumball and Darwin take revenge on him for chewing on the pen Darwin lent him - an act
that Joe did not actually commit. That episode shows Joe in the friendliest
and most forgiving light possible up until Gumball and Darwin push him to his breaking
point, after which Joe knocks himself out cold trying to beat the two of them up. Gumball and Darwin then beat themselves up
to make it look like Joe won the fight, and the three of them become friends again. That’s really all there is to him in terms
of morality, so I think the safest bet is to place him in the lower tier of good. That’s it for the good characters, and now
we move on to the morally dubious side of Elmore. These characters are the Gray Area. Kicking off the neutral characters is the
emo ghost girl, Carrie. We first meet her in “The Ghost” where
we learn that she can’t taste food. Gumball agrees to let her use his body to
eat lunch, but Carrie uses this opportunity to go on a massive eating spree, stealing
food and devouring like a maniac until Gumball becomes too fat to move. When Gumball refuses to let her possess him
again, she tries to take his body over by force. Gumball eventually makes her realize that
she has a food addiction and gets her to leave his body to take over Richard’s instead. She doesn’t usually act like this in her
later appearances, though. She’s mostly concerned with being a rebellious,
moody teenager, but she can also be pretty helpful. In fact, she is willing to help Gumball set
Darwin up with who he thinks is Darwin’s crush even though Carrie’s madly in love
with Darwin. Luckily the two of them end up together by
the end of that episode, no thanks to Gumball. Even if we can’t actually see it, it’s
clear that Carrie does have a heart underneath that cynical exterior, and she seems to display
a lot of selfless behavior to go along with it. Next up is Bobert the robot kid. Robots are normally slaves to their programming,
but Bobert seems to be fairly self aware. Although he sometimes displays behavior that
is mechanical in nature like following protocols, Bobert has enough artificial intelligence
to steal Gumball’s identity in “The Robot.” That episode shows his biggest fault, which
is his jealousy of his non-robotic classmates in their ability to process feelings and emotions. Bobert is not normally malicious, though,
and he would rather just get on solving the most complex problems in the universe than
engage in everyday kid behavior. Neutral is really the perfect descriptor of
him. Next is Gumball and Darwin’s biggest fan,
Sarah. I use the term “fan” loosely, as she’s
more of a stalker than anything else. It’s shown in “The Fan” that Sarah is
completely obsessed with Gumball and Darwin to the point where she writes fanfiction of
their lives which ends up becoming reality. The boys don’t take too kindly to Sarah
literally altering their lives and tell her to leave them alone, but they end up feeling
sorry for her as they realize they’re her only friends, although they do tear up her
storybook once she tries to make them fight for her affection. Sarah has very little self-awareness, is often
a pest, and can’t seem to leave well enough alone with Gumball and Darwin, but at least
she does genuinely seem to like them and doesn’t want to see them get hurt. Still, the stalker stuff knocks her down a
few points. Our next Watterson is going to be Richard. If we were ranking him as a parent, he’d
be near the bottom of the spectrum. Richard is a manchild who doesn’t have a
job, is severely lacking in the intelligence department, and has a reputation for being
the laziest man in town. He would rather run away from problems than
confront them head on, and he knows pretty much nothing about disciplining his kids. There are some episodes, like “The Hero”,
that try to compensate for this by showing us that Richard is actually a very good dad
because he succeeded in basic parenting by teaching his son how to walk, but I’m not
buying it. It’s okay that he’s not written as a competent
dad - that’s a part of what makes his character hilarious - but it also means that he needs
to step up more and set a better example for his kids. At least he succeeds in one category because
he obviously loves his family a lot and will do anything for them, provided it doesn’t
require him getting up from the couch. Just below her husband is Nicole Watterson. Okay, yes, as a parent, Nicole is definitely
better than Richard...but not by much. Nicole is extremely overly competitive and
needs to be the best at everything at all times. This is almost entirely due to the way that
she was raised, but considering her animosity towards her parents for the majority of the
show, you’d think she’d make an effort to distance herself from her parents’ teachings. When she tries to push her family to act the
same way in “The Fridge” it ends up tearing them all apart until Gumball makes her realize
what she’s doing to them. Nicole also has an awful temper and often
gets violent when she’s angry, committing multiple acts of assault and destruction of
property in episodes like “The Limit”; admittedly, someone usually does something
to make her angry first, but that is no excuse for the amount of damage she causes. In any case, her aggression does sometimes
come in handy, like when she manages to take back her house from the partiers in “The
Castle.” Like Richard, she also very clearly loves
her family and wants the best for her kids. She also works herself to the bone to provide
for them while Richard barely ever gets off the couch, which definitely brings her score
up a lot. Unfortunately, her frequent violent outbursts
are just too bad to ignore, so we’ve gotta rank her just a bit lower than Richard. Next up is Principal Brown. Brown very clearly has some issues, as will
be apparent to most viewers. He cares more about flirting with Miss Simian
than actually making sure the students stay safe, and like Mr. Small, his advice usually
ends up getting Gumball and Darwin into more trouble than they were already in. All of this begins to make sense when it’s
revealed in “The Fraud” that he doesn’t actually have a diploma and is unqualified
to be a principal. He also goes fully insane in that episode
while attempting to keep Gumball and Darwin quiet about the whole diploma business, which
ends with him trying to blow up the entire school. Reckless doesn’t even begin to cover Brown’s
character, but I honestly don’t see a lot of ill-intent on his part. Though, I still can’t bring myself to rank
him any higher. One of the first prominent side characters,
Tobias Wilson, is up next. He tries desperately to act like one of the
“cool kids,” but he lacks the self awareness to realize that very few people actually like
him. Tobias is incredibly cocky, thinks he’s
much more athletic than he actually is, and pretends to be a ladies’ man despite being
single for the entire runtime of the show. His personality kind of sucks, but I’m willing
to cut him some slack considering what he has to deal with in his home - namely a father
who is a complete scumbag. An inflated ego hardly makes Tobias the worst
person on the list, so he earns a spot in Neutral territory. And now we get to the titular character, Gumball
Watterson. What an absolutely chaotic neutral character. Nearly every episode is a tossup between Gumball
trying to ruin someone’s day and/or life for his own gain, and Gumball trying to help
someone who no one else will even give the time of day. One thing is for certain, though: Gumball
will inevitably involve himself in everyone else’s lives to make his own life less boring. Sure, there are some episodes like “The
Sweaters” where he’s forced into the plot through no fault of his own and doesn’t
want to participate, but it’s shown “The Others” that Gumball (and Darwin to some
extent) feels the need to inject himself into other people’s situations to make himself
the center of attention. I mean, the show is called “The Amazing
World of Gumball” but he really doesn’t know when to leave other people alone. In many ways, this makes Gumball very self-centered,
but what makes this worse are episodes like “The Saint” when he destroys Alan’s
entire life just to prove that Alan can be just as much of a jerk as Gumball so that
he doesn’t have to deal with his own shortcomings as a person. Gumball also displays a lot of his father’s
trademark laziness and is a horrible procrastinator, but I suppose that’s typical for someone
of his age. As much as I would like to rank Gumball higher
for some of his better appearances where he actually tries to help people, he just has
so many faults that we have to place him as the lowest member of the Watterson family. Next up is going to be Patrick Fitzgerald,
Penny’s father. He’s the stereotypical no-nonsense dad who
doesn’t approve of his daughter dating an idiot like Gumball. From this behavior alone, he could be considered
sort of overbearing, but what really proves this is the episode “The Shell.” There, we learn that Patrick has been forcing
Penny to stay in her peanut shell for her entire life and suppress her true self. This is wrong on so many levels, as not only
is he keeping her from being herself, but he’s setting her up for failure later in
life when she does break out of her shell and has no idea how to deal with any of the
problems that come along with that. By the end, Gumball finally convinces him
to do what’s best for Penny, and he helps the two escape from animal control until Gumball
can get her back to normal. Patrick’s relationship with Gumball does
improve slightly afterwards, but he is still skeptical of the kid for the rest of the show. Can’t say I blame him, though, given everything
we just stated about Gumball. Moving on, we have Richard’s mother, Granny
Jojo. It’s spelled out pretty clearly in “The
Authority” that her parenting is the reason Richard is the way that he is. Jojo spent her entire life protecting him
from things she considers dangerous, like leaving the house to buy milk and using a
knife to make a sandwich, to the point where Richard has no common sense in dealing with
basic tasks. After he falls off the roof trying to turn
on the TV, Jojo comes to the Watterson home to taunt Nicole over what an awful mother
she is and to completely child-proof the house to prevent the kids from getting hurt. She teaches them about “dangerous” things
using methods that are infinitely more dangerous than what she tries to dissuade them from
doing, like setting off a bomb in Anais’s room to prove that open windows are unsafe. After turning all of the kids into clones
of Richard, Nicole undoes all of her bad parenting and turns them back to normal. I’m willing to cut Jojo some slack, since
she’s had to raise Richard all by herself since his dad walked out on them, but yeesh
- really seems like she could have handled a lot of that whole situation better, Back to Elmore Junior High, we have the 8-Bit
spider alien, Ocho. This guy’s anger issues make Nicole’s
look tame by comparison. He straight up tries to murder Gumball and
Darwin for accidentally sending him a text that made fun of him in “The Phone.” He realizes that he sometimes gets too intense,
but in the moment, he can cause mass destruction with his video game superpowers and there’s
really no good excuse for any of his behavior. Finishing off the Gray Area is Mr. Gaylord
Robinson. He’s the typical uptight, grouchy neighbor
who is obsessed with image. He considers himself to be the most “classy”
one in the neighborhood, far beyond the likes of the Wattersons who he thinks are below
him. He also thrives on rage and anger, as his
marriage is literally held together by the fact that the Robinsons love to argue with
each other day in and day out. There is hardly anything redeeming about Mr.
Robinson besides his love for his family, but I’m willing to give him a bit of a break
as I can see how it can be frustrating to deal with Gumball who is completely oblivious
to the fact that his presence is unwanted. At least he’s miles better than his wife,
but don’t worry...we’ll address her in due time. And with that, we move from neutral territory
into the underbelly of Elmore. These characters are the Bad and the Evil. Let’s start off with the school bullies,
including Tina Rex, Jamie, Julius and others. We’re ranking them all together because
they all essentially serve the same purpose. They push people around, insult them, and
sometimes beat people up because they have nothing better to do. Tina gets the most spotlight and even has
some episodes which humanize her a little bit, but she still continues to terrorize
the other students for her own amusement. She and the others can also have very violent,
very destructive outbursts from time to time, and without any real redeeming qualities,
this pretty much solidifies their spot in the Bad Tier. Up next is apparently the school’s only
teacher, Miss Simian. Simian is a particularly cruel educator who
loves to give out major punishments for very minor offenses. She can be very manipulative as shown in “The
Ape” when she tries to make peace with the Watterson family but it turns out to be a
ploy to get Gumball and Darwin to recommend her as their favorite teacher when she hasn’t
earned it. It’s also revealed that she bullied Nicole
for their entire lives and still insults her and her family in their adult years. She isn’t completely evil, as shown in “The
Apology” where she spends the entire episode trying to frame Gumball and Darwin only to
realize she was wrong about them in the end, but she still continues to take her anger
and bitterness out on her students after that episode ends. Next up is the closest thing the show has
to a main antagonist, Doctor Wrecker, AKA Rob. At some point in his life, he was sucked into
the Void as one of the world’s mistakes and doomed to an eternity in limbo until he
hitched a ride on the back of Mr. Small’s van and escaped. After Gumball discovers this, he helps Rob
to find a new role in the town of Elmore...as the villain. Gumball’s new nemesis makes several attempts
to destroy him, including but not limited to: trying to break the dam to flood the town,
planting a bomb on the school bus loaded with kids and adults, and erasing all of the Watterson
family from existence - twice - using a magic TV remote. However, after realizing the destruction that
he’s caused hasn’t brought him any fulfillment, he goes back in time to undo his mistakes. Unfortunately, Rob can’t stop himself from
playing the role of the villain and puts Banana Joe in his crosshairs in “The Ex” until
Gumball pisses him off enough to target Gumball once again. Rob also has a very prominent appearance in
the series finale “The Inquisition” where he disguises himself as the Superintendent
and tries to turn all of the characters from cartoons into live action humans. Apparently this is a meta reference to the
show being cancelled and Rob was only trying to help them cross over to “the other place”
before it’s too late. Unfortunately, this is where the show ends,
so any good will that came from whatever he was trying to do has effectively been wiped
away. Rob is definitely more sympathetic than any
of the other villains and he hasn’t been entirely evil in his appearances, but he’s
also done things that very clearly constitute murder, attempted murder, theft, assault and
a myriad of other crimes. This stuff is just too big to ignore, so I’d
say he’s earned his spot with the bad characters. Taking the bronze medal of evil is Harold
Wilson. He doesn’t have nearly as much spotlight
as most of the other characters which speaks volumes as to how much of a piece of garbage
that this guy actually is. Harold apparently has a real job but thinks
it’s more profitable to impersonate a therapist and take people’s money without actually
offering any services, making him a thieving conman. During his youth, he displayed a lot of the
cocky behavior that his son, Tobias, displays now; but unlike Tobias, Harold was rather
popular in school and also a vicious bully. He relentlessly humiliated Richard every chance
he got and continues to do it all the way through “The Cycle.” That episode not only reveals his past but
also shows that Harold has never been able to move on from his youth. Once the Wattersons trick him into thinking
he’s a billionaire, he immediately divorces his wife and kicks her out of the house for
a much younger woman and proceeds to illegally detonate a metric ton of explosives in his
house in order to renovate it. He sure is an idiot for not verifying that
the random check for a billion dollars he found on the ground was real, but this episode
clearly shows his true colors. He treats his family like dirt, steals money
from people, and makes life for Richard and others a living hell. There’s absolutely nothing to like about
this guy. The silver medal of evil is going to Sal Left
Thumb. Here we have a legitimately dangerous criminal
with a whole $25 bounty on his head. Okay, “dangerous” might be a stretch,
but given that he’s willing to chase, threaten, and assault a couple of kids while robbing
a convenience store, I’d say that it’s a fair descriptor. The lack of real danger mostly comes from
his incompetence considering that his weapon of choice is a freaking spoon, but since this
is Elmore we’re talking about, it scares people enough to have them hand over all their
money anyway. He’s also stolen cars, jewelry, and pretty
much anything he can get his hands on. It sucks that he couldn’t achieve his dreams
of becoming a singer but that’s no excuse for all of the crimes he commits on a day
to day basis. And finally, the title of “Most Evil Person
in Elmore” goes to Mrs. Robinson. The show kind of did the work for us on this
one. It’s confirmed in “The Wicked” that
Mrs. Robinson is practically evil incarnate. The only thing she takes joy in is the suffering
of other people, which usually consists of inflicting violence on random people and then
blaming it on somebody else. There’s no rhyme or reason to what she does;
despite Darwin’s protests that she must only do bad things because she’s unhappy,
Mrs. Robinson was simply born this way. The worst part about this is that she normally
gets away with being an evil sociopath, up until the universe decides to finally lay
the smackdown on her all at once. I would reference her relationship with her
family as a positive aspect, but as previously mentioned, her marriage is based solely on
her and her husband yelling at each other all day long, and she only really likes Mr.
Robinson when he’s letting out his inner rage on other people. Her husband puts it perfectly, Margaret just
wants to watch the world burn. But let us know what you think… Who are the most evil characters in The Amazing
World of Gumball? Don’t forget to hit that notification bell
and binge our Good to Evil playlist. But most importantly, stay wicked.
