A fun episode, but a nitpicky issue

The whole thing was really fun, giving us insight into a character we knew little about aside from the fact he was Anais' teacher in a previous episode. Mr. Corneille seemed to have a lot in common with the school counselor, being so pacifistic and peace-loving, but every time a character with a completely different style of depiction (like Corneille's 16-bit pixellation) shows up, it adds even more fun to an already fantastic show.

My only complaint is about the description: Joao Dega is a very Brazilian/Portuguese name. It's possible a Brazilian Portuguese man-fist-thing could be from Russia, but then why give him such an obviously Brazilian name?

I know it's a silly minor complaint, but I'm 'one of those people'.

Knew little about him

This is another hilarious episode as it focuses on one of the minor characters. This time it's Corneille. He's a frog teacher, which makes as much sense as any other character here. Elmore School is being sold out so Gumball and Darwin assist Corneille to win a fighting match. He claims to be a fighter. As usual, the way they mock tropes is great. We get to see a parody of a montage when it only shows one thing.

That is, Corneille just standing there reading. I love the bit where the piece of paper keeps hitting Gumball in the face and he ignores it, but it turns out it wasn't useful anyway. There must be a trope for that. We see Corneille's enemy is a guy that is literally made of fists. Well, his feet and head are fists. It's been said he tried fighting the entire country of Belgium. ****
