How Gumball DESTROYED His Copycat

- Cartoon Network really created something special here with this Amazing World of Gumball episode. When it comes to mockbuster-like animation, it is uncommon to see an American corporation acknowledge it through a piece of media, especially one meant for kids. The Copycats

That, and a revival to the show.
Can’t wait to get more Gumball, sorry that I didn’t appreciate it until it the original show was over.
Anais
Hmmm I think miracle star is crap and it looks bad.
Yes alpha gay show
It's also trying to take a jab at the characters. Seeing as they didn't have an Anais so they ended up crashing. Kind of like saying all our characters have a purpose, you can't just pick and choose who you want.
Yeaa, and it makes them feel alive, that every character affects everyone in the show, unlike the rip-off where everyone is only focused on the main character
They weren’t “picking and choosing”, it was because of chinas absurd rule that only allows families to have 2 children, and for some reason they counted Darwin, a pet fish, to be a child

What’s interesting is how Gumball made the character designs of Miracle Star look so much better in the crossover. Like how the mother has this light pale blonde hair instead of a typical brown and how the Frog has cyan skin instead of this neon green. I think they look a lot better aside from the father who goes from looking pretty different from Richard, to looking just like him.
@Click for FREE SHOUTOUT! I disagreed
Yes
Your "Did it die? , Call the reaper" never gets older. I'm seeing it 10th time but I still so hard laugh on it. :'D
I never knew till years later what this episode was even fully about so it definitely isn’t a blatant rant like episode but now I doc know the context this episode is so much cooler
When I saw the episode I didn’t think much about it until I found out that the chi chi IS A REAL SHOW

5:33 women has no right to celebrate in the republic of people 💀💀💀 ( also one child )
13:34 hehehe
not ha
TL;DR, A South Park episode
0:36 the goats mother looks like a tall version of gadget
The fact that Anais has no bootleg counterpart has layers. The two-child policy reference is obvious enough, Gumball and Darwing being the stars is also obvious, but on top of that, since China is one of those proudly patriarchal Asian countries, girls are just not as desirable as boys. The fact that girls who were born second or third are being given up for adoption in foreign countries, or have no social identity whatsoever (like literally, they don't exist as far as governmental affairs are concerned because their parents wouldn't dare register their births), is an indictment of the "Confucianist" mentality that China's helped reinforced through thousands of years.
I like that they even mimicked the knockoff’s lower animation budget
They didn't tho?

Technically, Anais destroyed the Copycats. They dug their own graves when they deleted the little sister. Without her, the Watersons would've perished over that goddamn bridge (Seriously, somebody fix that thing, already!).
Unfortunately, the Chinese producers weren't feeling very progressive that day.
It's because of the 2 child policy in China.

@@keepyourshoesathedoor Thanks. That sounds like a lot of work though. I do like to make cartoons. Hypothetically. I don't plan on doing this anytime soon. If I wanted to make an animated video I would make a new account for it. Some of my opinions can be complainy and I would rather have a clean slate.
ah, i know right. as a 9-year-old i had no idea who the hell were these characters but still it was one of my favorite episodes. i knew about the fourth wall-breaking thing, that somebody was copying them BUT IN THE CARTOON. I had no idea that These actual characters existed
@@icecreamhero2375 and that was enough. It could've been a standalone funny episode but the youtubers had to make it known to everyone that miracle star existed, now that rip off show is probably more popular than it ever before was due to connections with this episode. Also the whole child policy thing seemed kind of like bs since darwin ripoff was a pet, and idk why they thought real life policies would apply to a cartoon show.
@@VYDEOS2 lol even if ppl watch one episode of teh knockoff, it's clearly not good so no one is staying. I don't see what's the issue with pointing out that there is a knockoff. it's great trivia. Are you going to watch that other show now? ok then.
also, art imitates real life and vice versa. the crew probably didn't know why there was no sister but they tried to make a funny joke or speculate. a lot of times, real world policies or agendas/propoganda/influence, w/e are included in things like children's shows. and it's china. so it's even more believable.
"Women not allowed to celebrate in the Republic of People" made me laugh so hard! 🤣 I _love_ poorly-translated Chinese! "Doraemon" is translated as "Mechanical Cat Beast."

-"I anger!"
-"Why did you anger?"
@@Trainfan1055Janathan
That makes me also Anger.
I like to theorize that the Watersons doing increasingly more and more dangerous things could be commentary on how the show's writing and humor became more cynical and more satirical / going for more risky, darker jokes with each new season, and that "offing themselves" could be a metaphor for the show getting cancelled / taken off the air.

What da fu-
That explains a lot.
@@koyomin241 what the fuck indeed
@@pacifistminigun3987 yeah right-
Yeah I heard, it wasn't supposed to be an actual show, it was more like a commercial
Gumball's copy being a goat completely misses the point of Gumball's design: he's a talking cat, so naturally he thinks the world should revolve around him. That's why he's so brash, and it doesn't hit the same with a goat.
Conversely Darwin's copy being a frog is really clever but also really shallow. Its fundamentally the same design and explains how they could have the same backstory, swimming thing growing legs, but Darwin fits Elmore perfectly as a conceptual anomaly while having the emotional punch of evolving for his family in the first place.
His copy being a frog removes that conceptual and emotional depth since growing legs is something frogs naturally do, and makes him really normal for someone from a place like Elmore. You could say Gumball has a tame design for Elmore too, but the absurd situations he gets into from his self destructive behavior makes him fit in regardless, behaviors that Darwin's copy doesn't have.

They not only left out Anais because of the 2 child policy, but also because of the fact that boys are preferred to girls in China. It really is hell on earth.
Yeah, and then they have trouble with finding wife for their son cause there's not enough daughter, nice.
@@adrenalineactivate Tbh there is already a limit to the amount of children people can have in China due to their population so they won't even mind the inequality
or maybe because the show mainly revolves around gumball and darwin? i think thats a stretch.
That what stupid old school china think highly man but forgot women also important part… one of dumb oldschool thing…
@@Salty010 it’s a tradition thing about “keeping the bloodline going”
All I can think of is the Jianyang quote about copying and stealing: "In China, it is a legitimate business strategy."
The only thing they couldn’t imitate was their survival
I still think it's a shame CN made the show's crew change the knockoff characters designs. They originally looked a lot more like the Miracle Star in the storyboard.
They might have changed it to avoid being sued
@@Gorilla-r4g If they got sued they probably would’ve made an episode about that too. There should be a clause where a rip-off can’t sue the original makers tbh
@@Gorilla-r4g I'm not sure getting sued for copying someone that stole your content would work out, so maybe it would've actually been better if they got sued to win and show the irony
@@Gorilla-r4g Why would they worry for getting sued by chinese lol
@@Gorilla-r4g are you chinese?
It kind of makes sense why Chinese knockoffs exist, considering the fact that the Chinese Government banned Cartoon Network and they could only make their own knockoffs to compensate for the original
Yup but it kinda sucks tho
@@veloin Yep, since they probably need to fulfill strict requirements to be able to air on China media, hence not much creativity allowed

same pfp?
Yea, but different shade @hariibarracardenas5698
@@hariibarracardenas5698 LMAO
Yes, Anais not being in the show is a reference to the two child policy. Also, they tend to value boys quite a bit more than girls over there to the degree that they...'cancel' the baby when they find out it's a girl. The translation strongly hints at that.
I remember a Family guy joke that was about death dying and finding out that they were going to be reborn as a Chinese baby, just to come back 2 seconds later and say "girl."
@tale7955 yikes. I remember the plot of that episode. He died in a crash because Carter had passed out at the wheel and crashed the car with his wife and Stewie inside. He went back after he got told by a superior death he was going into a nice Chinese family, then 2 seconds later he returned, and it was "girl?" "Girl."
The really sad thing is that Anais is legally the second child while Darwin is the family pet that came along before her arrival. It's just a coincidence that he happens to walk and talk like another child. Having him in the knock off was no big deal at the time it was created because the creator was well aware that he's the companion of an only child. Technically Anais could have gotten a copycat but the creator took advantage of the two child policy to change Darwin's copycat from "family pet" to "adopted son." This was an excuse to portray 2 "official" sons in the knockoff.
Yeah cause it said something about women when they removed her i didn’t really remember
Now that I see it, I'm actually quite shocked the creator of the rip-off missed such an opportunity of swapping genders for the second child. Anais could have gotten a male version copycat if the ripoff had kept Darwin's copycat as the family pet.😮 There would have been a knowledgeable little brother for Gumball's copycat if the creator had thought it through.🤔
I don't know why the imitators didn't copy Anais, technically speaking Darwin is a pet fish who grew legs
Probably because of the 2 child only policy where Miracle Star was made.
@@herrscheroftheend1963 what they are trying to say is that the frog doesn't count as a child, so Anais could still be made lol
@@ggundercover3681 i get that but I guarantee the bootleggers didn’t do much research before animating
@@ggundercover3681 yeah but showing children (obvious target audience) a happy family with 3 children isn't 100% in-line with china's preferences, AND it's generally cheaper to have less characters
Because sons tend to be preferred over daughters in China. There's a reason so many young Chinese men are having trouble finding wives.
The mom knockoff looks like a high school cheerleader
I really loved “Be Your Own You”, it was a fun musical number what with the Watersons trying in vain to have their copycats be more unique. Also liked the plot point with the copycats not having a third child. I’m surprised the show didn’t get banned from China after this, especially with the dig at their ½ child policy.
I kinda wonder what an episode that made fun of Teen Titans Go’s episodes dedicated to making fun of critics would be like considering how they dissed Miracle Star.
I’m guessing it could involve Gumball and Darwin watching a cartoon and its an episode making fun of the critics with Gumball and Darwin being genuinely confused, then annoyed when the next episode is also dedicated to mocking critics, and then jumping into the show to get the characters to do something that isn’t mocking the critics.
This was a fun way to send off the second voices for Gumball and Darwin (Jacob Hopkins and Terrell Ransom, Jr.) the former actually voicing Fushi in the dub of To Your Eternity.
I agree and I love that song
what you are doing is straight up criminal
I just imagine cn saying to the creators of chi chi
Be your own you.
And they didnt listen
And then it concluded with them making this masterpiece 😆
Well, their child policy is now 3 children, but I’m guessing when Miracle Star came out it was when the 2 child policy was in affect
It's kind of a fun way they got sent off. They literally went out in one of the best ways possible by taking their cheap knock off versions with them.
Miracle: I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL!
Jacob/Gumball: Tell them I'm on my way right after!
about the showering scene in the knockoff, that sort of thing (family members bathing together) isn’t as stigmatized as it is in western cultures. Bathing together like that isn’t that big of a deal in eastern cultures. There’s a lot of movies that show this.
Yeah, it is also common for hispanic families to bathe together.
Plus, i pretty sure a lot of people here do watch anime right? Anyone have been to Sento before?
As an American-Asain , I can confirm family members bathing together, even if my most outstanding memory of it is my gramma trying to wash my hair while I was screaming my head off.

This is one of my favorite Anais episodes! Her intellect and morals are portrayed really well in other episodes, but this one really shows her response to not being included in an amazing way. It really shows how ruthless she can be when she's determined to get her way, and I think the only other really good episode that did that was The Remote (another one of my all-time favorites.)
If it's the Chinese 2 child rule, since the frog is adopted, Anniaese would be just fine as the 2nd child?
yeah I wondered that too. maybe that law also applies to adopted children? idk
@@tiablue9106
I believe it likely does.
Ah but you see, just like darwin, the frog is their pet, not their adopted son, so it works with the chinese law of one child rule
@@restlessheroes the chinese rule limits families to 2 children, although darwin (and I'm assuming his copy) started as a pet, he became way more of an adopted child
When miracle star first aired the 1 child policy was still fully implemented until I think around 2 years later when it was changed to the 2 child policy. I assume that the knock-off Darwin is also a pet so he wasn't counted as an offspring of knock-off Gumball's parents.

Ah, the very episode that got me into Gumball. This episode was fantastic and it's jokes were spot on.
The episode that got me into this show was The Others

The funny thing is that When gumball meets the copycat, It looks better THAN THE ORIGINAL
This episode is so American. "Be yourself, be an individual". Preaching it all to a country full of leaders who won't stand for that. They made a beautiful message for people who may never see it due to the firewall.

This will always be one of my favorite episodes of the show because of how perfectly they expose their knockoffs and make jokes about foreign copycat brands as a whole.

“The copycats” is the “Meet the Grahams” of the cartoon world
14:37 from left to right I think
fake Alan(whatever he is has a string in it), fake Juke, fake Masami, fake Idaho(pomegranate), fake Ocho(taiko drum), fake Carrie(latern), fake Hector, and fake Bobert
yea the Miracle Star episode was really bad because it started to make no sense the more you explained it
I think fake Alan is a Chinese Lantern
Would what the Watterson did their fake ones in the episode count as murder both morally(in my opinion yes) and legally?(i'm not a lawyer)
In no sense did they force the clones into their actions. This copying is fully of the doppelgangers own volition, and as such no legal blame could fall on the Wattersons
@@oneofthe12sionmains70 So does it count à suicide???
@@mehdiouabas9587 Technically.
@@oneofthe12sionmains70 That assume their nature as copycats as of their own will, we have no idea if that's the case. further more, they endangered their own kids numberous time over this light nuissisence. Even if the defense insists they innocent of murder they still did countless other crimes in their process. Need i even say the phrase "Traffic laws"?
Nicole and Richard did put their children in danger in that situation. So that'll be child endangerment, so even if the copy cats dying isn't murder they would still be guilty of other crimes
Imagine a company exposing a rip-off.
the crossover that we never needed.

Thanks I was just about to ask that
link?
8:20 it took inspiration from I think the episode was called "The wish" or "The wand" where Richard has a fake magic wand and he wishes for the sink to be fixed and gumball had to drink all that disgusting water/sewage maybe it was a combo of both but that's where miracle star got that scene from, final answer.
Thank god Anais was ignored in the mock buster

Ok guys im going in wish me luck
@@ZombifiedBuizel Im Romanian, we eat sasuages made with intestine
@@FabioKun Some people around here eat pickled pig trotters. It's called Souse. There's also cow's tongue and stomach. I'm not exactly bothered by what part of an animal I eat. Except pig cause I hate pork but ham and bacon are ok.
3:51 That gives me a thought. What would be the animal counterpart to Alpha Jay? Not like an dark alt persona or a channel stealing content directly from Jay, but a UA-camr mascot that is similar to Alpha’s style. Would they be a grizzly bear or a different animal? Would he be interested in live action? Would ‘he’ even be a ‘he’?!

Do you mean copy cat? Because believe it or not he is a panda.

This actually wouldn't stump physics at all, because the family is rolling while on the ground.
The family would retain the momentum of the truck for a short amount of time after jumping out, because the energy transferred to them by the truck's movement is maintained.
Because they're rolling and don't immediately lose momentum by making a final landing, it actually makes perfect sense that they're moving at the same speed as the truck.
Them landing right back into the truck and immediately having their seatbelts put back on makes absolutely no sense though LMAO
Im sorry but let me guess. Your yhe the kind of person who thinks there comment was so boring you put a LMAO at the end.
Ehr or im just wrong?
@@justanub4697 It's just that I didn't want to sound like a COMPLETE nerd and I had a bit more to say than just that
Your explaination is correct IF friction is non-existent.
In real life, jumping out of a vehicle will usually slow you down because of friction. And that ramp would have stopped them completely because most of the kinetic energy is lost through friction.
If we're talking real life physic, Gumball and his family would have little to no kinetic energy left to actually clear that ramp.
Forgot friction?
