Glad we're back to New Gumball episodes! This is mostly a parody of the musical episode. I admit it's really funny when we have the singing shower that looks like a parody of the talking inanimate objects from "Beauty And The Beast". I just wish Nicole had been more destructive with it! Many of the characters get their own brief and goofy songs in this, but the funniest was probably Richard's. He sang about how important fast food was to him. I will admit that I was disappointed Gumball didn't have a song and neither did Penny. They're my favorite characters!
Even Pluto has a song where he (she?) (it?) talks about how it's no longer a planet. I think it's a parody of Adele. I love the bit where the background characters acknowledge the fact that they're literally background characters. They at least get close to having their own verses. Wait a minute, the funniest was Terri's. She was unconscious and started singing in a dream about germs in this bizarre anime like parody sequence. I expect only the best from this show. ***1/2
