I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.
Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:
all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing.
[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.
I know we talk about how aware Gumball is, but THIS IS LIKE SUPER FRICKING AWARE
Nah son, I saw this episode and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Then entire thing was a statement on where we are as a culture and how we got here, and it was just solid gold. Emmy deserving tbh.
The episode is called “The Candidate.” And I encourage everyone to watch it.
My favorite thing about Tumblr glitches is that they’re never mundane enough to be forgotten about they ALWAYS hit everyone at once and they’re always weird shit like “the buttons stopped working,” or “the note counter disappeared for some fucking reason,” or
