Regular Show didn't completely stop doing "risque" stuff after Season 2 ended. There was a Season 3 episode where Benson has to beat someone in a spicy food eating contest. At the end of that, Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson go on the Regular Show equivalent of an acid trip. There's definitely been less stuff like that in recent seasons, that's why it's now more or less "'80s Nostalgia Reimagined: The Show." But I like that as well.

Clarence is still my favorite of the Cartoon Network shows, though (that also had a "kids' show acid trip" moment when Jeff had sleep deprivation).

I remember someone saying that there were more anime references in that episode than the entire first season of Steven Universe. I don't watch anime or Steven Universe so I can't confirm.

Clarence has what I'm pretty sure is a Dead Leaves visual ref. Also in the comments to that video someone said the storyboard crew for Clarence on tumblr does something called "Claravangalion" which sounds immense

Mighty Magiswords feels like it never adjusted its pace from being 2 minute shorts.

Jesus, this is fast.

Okay, it's slowed down a bit, but that was quite a bit to take in.

Mighty Magiswords was pretty good. It feels like it might need a few episodes to get into its groove, but I was right in that it had a super early Adventure Time feel.

Like I said, I think they're still transitioning from the mini web shorts and need to get used to the ten minute format.

Does it start en media res? Because the latest episode on CN's official site looks like it's the latter half of a two-parter.

No, it was definitely the second half of a two parter. The CN site only uploaded part two, I had to go to shady internet websites to find part 1. How annoying.

WE ARE SMART
Gumball coming to an end sucks, but it's had a great run and I guess it's always better to leave 'em wanting more rather than continuing on as a soulless husk forever. At any rate, we've got almost two full seasons of it left to air, which should last into late 2017 or maybe even into 2018 if they don't do many Gumball bombs. And that's without taking into account any breaks they may take in airing it.

I thought it was public knowledge for a while that Gumball would go 5 seasons.

Makes sense, they would have to keep replacing the voice actors and that would have been super dangerous.

CN has been really good with crossovers lately. I'm still amazed how well they pulled off that crossover between SU and UG despite the wildly different tone of both shows.
