Growing Around Growing Around: A slow moving trainwreck. (General Thread)

Enter believes his world is a utopia, therefore there are no child molesters. AND NO ASSHOLES.

But yet, if there are NO ASSHOLES, how can accept an episode with fart humour?

I should probably return to just lurking.

I'm willing to assume adults are allowed to have sex with each other since they're expected to have kids. And I'm sure children and adults aren't allowed to have sex in his world, but the question of who's responsible is the problem.

The adults have more maturity, but the children were in charge! What if there's as teenage creep who forces his mother to do things to him or she'll be punished? Are there adult protection services? I doubt this will be addressed despite the unfortunate implications.

I think TJ wrote a story with that premise.

I'm fine with a world making no sense, however there has to be some questions answered about this world that just seem like the biggest elephants in the room people would address for this show.

Gumdrop should be an elephant instead of a pony.

Gumdrop should be a gumdrop.

Gumdrop should be an elephant instead of a pony.

In the version of the show in my brain, the one that amuses me, Gumdrop is named Pizzelle. Pizzelle is a sentient Italian model scooter with a Napoleon complex and talks like an autotuned Marlon Brando.

Enter opened the floodgates when he tried to explain how GA would work at all instead of simply telling people to not think about it.

Because even he obviously hasn't put as much thought into how the GA universe works more than the Kiwis here have.

I like the idea of Gumdrop, what bothers me about her is Enter seems to have taken his very first idea on what kind of pet a child would want and run with it. Granted that sometimes your first idea is a good one, but you should always consider other possibilities to avoid being derivative.

What is Gumdrop's personality anyway? Is she just a pony? Why not a pony that thinks she's a dog? Sure it's been done before, but at least it's an attempt at creativity. What if Gumdrop was an alligator with a sweet disposition? Just imagine it: the Dunns are all sitting on the couch watching television when suddenly their pet alligator crawls into their laps and demands belly rubs. That would be funny!

But no, Gumdrop is a pony because Enter is a brony and can't think outside the box.

Also, since you are talking about Gumdrops, she does not only live in a suburban home, but she lives on the insides, possibly shitting everywhere:

"Jesus christ! LINDA! PICK UP THIS SHIT!"

We see an overexaggerated image of Robert being both plain and a slob

"exaggerated"?
I don't think so

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Hell, when Linda was getting bad grades she should count herself lucky Timmy and Sally didn't ban her and Robert from having their sex times.

"I've called your children, and they agree. Robert, no china for you until you open this goddamn box."

My mind is drowning in the growing horror.

I still want to know how divorce works in this world. Do you have to have permission from your children? Who takes care of the adults once they've separated? Do they just send one of them to a home for the childless? Do they get visitation rights?

 

[StateOfMind]

Man, you guys are way too deep into this.

No divorce. You're with your husband/wife until you die.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Divorce and non-traditional families have been touched upon in children's cartoons before. The fact that the only model in Enter's world is the nuclear one (albeit flipped around) is pretty glaring to me.

I meant the post above yours.

It's funny, brother. Kinda satirical, really. King Enter reads too much into children's cartoons, so we read too much into his children's cartoon. Just one big-ass joke.

-EDIT- Unless someone on this thread actually is taking this seriously.
