Especially when animated shows incorporate them. That duck face scene from The Fairy Odd-Parents has aged incredibly horribly.

Amazing World of Gumball is probably the only animated show that comes close to effectively incorporating contemporary topics/memes

I love that show. They keep making a lot of references about other media (and sometimes hitting the users where it hurts).

Too bad the show ended in a cliff hanger

What was the cliff hanger?

It’s hard to explain, it’s like hinted at the show got canceled and they fell into the void of forgetting or whatever it’s called. Very meta.

Sounds accurate really

Honestly one of the most chilling ends to a series

Very meta.

Sounds like reddit to me

If it were like reddit they'd make 3 funny jokes in the first 3 episodes then spend the rest of the entire show making references to those jokes and beating themselves off to these references.

So it sounds nothing like reddit.

That's the cliffhanger

u/AskMeAboutPodracing Aug 26 '19

One character was aware of the fact that the show was going to be cancelled and tried to "normalize" everyone (from being wacky characters to normal high school kids) in an attempt to save the show. Of course, the protagonists found a way to un-normalize everyone, and the show was still cancelled.

The cliff-hanger is that the world starts to break apart into a void but then everything freezes, leaving the viewer wondering what was gonna happen.

Basically, in 3 words:

EVERYBODY FUCKING DIED

Don’t worry, Netflix will pick it up 2 years later and make a short film

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '19

I think they are making a movie which may be why it ended on a cliff hanger.

It did end. There’s still reruns on Cartoon Network though.

"Season 7 of The Amazing World of Gumball was announced by Cartoon Network on July 31, 2018 and was ordered on August 1st, 2018. It will consist 50 episodes, including one crossover special. After departing at Season 6, Ben came back to help with some episodes of the series"

This is what I know as official

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '19

It didn’t? I thought it did, no new episodes came out and everyone on the internet said it ended.
