Deadly boring!

Boring, boring, boring. It's simply one of the worst cartoon episodes I ever seen in my entire life. Where to start? Let's start from the concept: Gumball and Darwin challenge their father into a "lazy contest".
Wow, just wow. The concept sounds really boring and the episode, trust me, is even worse. I mean, seriously, couldn't the (many) writers have a better idea? I already said that there are 4-5 writers behind each episode of this show (8 in season 4) and that's what you get? Other shows like "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show" have a much better writing and there are less writers, 2-3 for "Adventure time" and 3 for "Regular show" (sometimes there are 4).
So the episode starts with Gumball and Darwin accepting the challenge and they spend the first half of the episode doing.....guess what? Exactly....absolutely nothing. In the first part of the episode almost nothing happens. They just sit on the couch and watch real commercials on TV drinking and eating some stuff. After Gumball and Darwin drink some soda a "sugar rush" song begins to play inside Gumball's body. Then we have one of the many "what the h..." scenes of the series. The scene suddenly swap inside Gumball's body. The transaction is so sloppy that seems someone changed channel. After the pointless "Sugar rush" scene, the two kids go to Mr. Larry to ask his help to defeat their father. As Richard said, Mr Larry is the laziest guy in the world. A guy which spends most of his time working in stores as a clerk is the laziest guy? I'm confused, something doesn't return. That's a huge plot hole. The guy refuses to help the two kids and it starts a long and very annoying sequence where Gumball and Dariwn force the poor guy to teach them his secret. This is a part which allows you to understand how unfunny and annoying Gumball and Darwin are. At the end they follow him to his home, they offer him a drink and Larry turns into a cube (what the h...?), Gumball and Darwin thank Mr. Larry (for what?) and they turn back home. They defeat their father (I don't know how) and they start a very-horrible "Victory ballet" (worse than the Johnny Depp's one in "Alice in Wonderland") but their mother punish them for their laziness.
Final verdict 1/10.
A very boring, confusing, unfunny (except for one scene), not- enjoyable and pointless cartoon episode.

Definitely one of the worst Gumball episodes

While "The Girlfriend" is technically worse, this episode I remember hating when I was a kid and I personally find it more unwatchable. Most of the characters here are very unlikeable. So Richard and the boys have a bet, to find someone lazier than Richard. Apparently it used to be Larry. But of course he's not anymore. And Gumball and Darwin keep pushing him to become lazy again. It was definitely made both Gumball and Darwin unlikeable here. They succeed on making Larry lose everything, and they win. But then Richard decides to act in front of Nicole making it seem like he's the good guy. Despite the fact he's just as lazy, probably even more. Nicole buys it and punishes Gumball and Darwin by making them do all the chores. It was a very awful change in character for Richard with him getting away with it. This is definitely the 2nd worst episode of the show.
