* BrokenBase: Easily one of the most divisive episodes in the entire series. Some fans enjoy the more moody and melancholic story that does wonders in making Richard a much more likable character beyond his usual laziness and BumblingDad tendencies. Others hate it for how Gumball, Anais, and Nicole all firmly grasp the JerkassBall, making all three of them too unsympathetic to root for, even if they have [[BothSidesHaveAPoint fair points in their argument]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Certain viewers point out that Richard does actually deserve to be called out for his poor parenting skills, with several episodes (e.g. The Dress, The Prank, etc...) depicting him as a downright abusive father. The fact that Richard doesn't learn anything from this experience makes this even worse.

* AccidentalAesop: If you want to be respected as an adult, you have to act like one. While Gumball's attitude was uncalled for, Richard's problems are mostly his own fault: Richard continues to act like a ManChild when confronted about it, and he constantly causes danger and trouble from sheer stupidity.

* PrecisionFStrike: There's '''also''' an [[https://www.deviantart.com/evilasio2/art/TAWOG-The-Hero-Deleted-Scene-904202571 alternate deleted scene]] of this episode, where Gumball [[RageBreakingPoint furiously]] ''[[ClusterBleepBomb cusses]]'' [[RageBreakingPoint at Nicole,]] [[TheDogBitesBack releasing his foul-mouth outburst and even calling her a fat]] '''[[ThisIsforEmphasisBitch "bitch"]]'''. Wow.... Okay, Gumball telling Nicole to [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E34TheMeddler stop meddling him is only one think]], but him calling her the B word in this deleted scene is just a '''whole''' another level so far.
** Gumball's UnstoppableRage foul-mouthing outburst completely sums it up....
-->'''Gumball:''' ''[Talking in [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Cartman's]] voice]'' '''WELL [[spoiler: FUCK]] YOU, MOM! I HOPE YOU [[NeverSayDie DIE]],''' '''''I HOPE YOU [[spoiler: FUCKING]] DIE!''''' '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU. FAT.]]''' [[spoiler: '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis BITCH!!!!!!]]]]'''''
** Gumball later does the same thing to Darwin, complete with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and this tropes name matched together, for where he calls Darwin out for being such a bad friend to him [[ItsAllAboutMe who only cares about apologizing to their Dad, Richard, or going on and on about how much he's going to save them]]. Making you realize that Gumball and Darwin should '''never''' be friends to begin with.
-->'''Gumball''': ''[Angrily]'' Well he's NOT going to be part of the family anymore! Just face it, I saw Dad hiding in the shed for five [[spoiler: fucking]] hours, and I don't care about it!
-->'''Darwin''': How arrogantly insensitive can you even be! How will you feel when I was the one turning my back on you If you never cared about your parents in the first place?!
-->'''Gumball''': ''[loses it]'' [[ArmorPiercingResponse Never cared about my parents?!]] '''''NEVER CARED ABOUT MY PARENTS?!!!''''' Earth to Darwin, you're in here standing on your [[spoiler: ass]] going on and on about how much Dad is going to save us! When really, '''NO!''' He ISN'T going to save us! And he ''wasn't'' even there when were insulting him at the playground! If you would've listened to me so we can get back at our Mom and Anais for punishing us horribly, NONE of this would've happened!

Being in the right or having a point is not the same thing as being sympathetic.


* JerkassWoobie: Gumball may act like a complete pill, but it's hard to not at least feel sorry for him for what he goes through in this episode.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Nicole and Anais are supposed to be seen as in the right for defending Richard despite seeing first hand how much his idiotic behavior can put them in danger, and the punishments they dish out at Gumball and Darwin (throwing Richard's cement cupcakes at them and denying them bathing and food) seem disproportionate, especially when it’s been shown Nicole doesn’t really respect Richard either, and she’s the sole breadwinner of the family so Richard doesn’t even provide food or pay any bills.
