Richard Buckley Watterson is one of the main characters of The Amazing World of Gumball cartoons series, he is a father of the Watterson family. Richard is different from all other fathers, he is not very bright and not a great role model for his children. But despite his bad advice and mannerisms, Richard still has good intentions and loves his family very much. He is irresponsible and clumsy, and childlike, but still a father figure in the Watterson family. Richard is very childlike and has been seen exhibiting his childish behavior in several episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball, like here when he got his shoelaces tied on a sprint.
