    Too funny

    It's great to have another episode that mocks censorship. While they already did one with "The Safety" this is still hilarious. I think what really makes this enjoyable is how all of the kids at Elmore take part in this. It's just great to see everyone working together to tackle a subject that really should be taken care of. This episode features the parents in Elmore trying to ban video games. One of the really funny parts is when Gumball and Darwin actually dress up as their parents. Darwin's is the funniest, because he isn't impersonating the same species.

    The jokes are as great as ever. It's another episode where there's so much going on. I especially love all the literary references near the end. The ending is a bit predictable, but the whole thing is still very fun. That tree librarian looks like someone from an old Disney cartoon. Well, they model characters after virtually everyone in this show anyway. Banana Joe might shine the most, especially when he and his dad run into a bookshelf. ****
