Harold Wilson (The Amazing World of Gumball)

Harold Wilson is a recurring character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is the father of Tobias and Rachel and the husband of Jackie. He appears to work as a psychologist.

Why He Isn't so Amazing

 * 1) He is incredibly egotistical, immature, and selfish.
 * 2) *In “The Castle” he pokes random people for fun and he starts a wild party in the Watterson’s home and refuses to leave and gets them kicked out.
 * 3) *In “The Silence” he scammed Gumball and Darwin into paying him for his own personal pool house instead of giving him therapeutic help and gets no comeuppance.
 * 4) *In “The Shell” he cowardly abandons his wife in a car to save himself. Some Husband!
 * 5) *In “The Cycle” when he thinks he’s rich from a fake blank check he finds on the street he mistreats everyone around him and even leaves his wife!
 * 6) *In “The Choices” where Nicole hallucinates a different life where she’s with him instead of Richard, and he manipulates Nicole to go out with him, makes their wedding all about him instead of her, and mistreats her. Although none of this happens, it shows how he would’ve acted.
 * 7) He endlessly torments and humiliates Richard in “The Cycle” since high school and doesn’t give him a break.
 * 8) He is at his worst in "The Cycle" (see 1c, 4, and 6)
 * 9) He is willing to leave his wife Jackie for a younger woman in “The Cycle”.
 * 10) He is a bad influence for his kids Tobias and especially Rachel.
 * 11) His running laugh in "The Cycle" can get annoying.
 * 12) Twenty-one words: "That was as easy as taking candy from a buh.... What was the expression again? Oh yes. A brainless man child."

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does get his comeuppance in “The Castle” where Nicole scares him into cleaning up their house that made a mess in, and in “The Cycle” where Richard tricks him into blowing himself and his house up with dynamite off-screen thinking he’s rich enough to buy a new one.
 * 2) He can be admittedly pretty funny at times.
 * 3) Kerry Shale does a good job voicing him.
 * 4) His design, much like all characters, is admittedly passable.
