The Amazing World of Gumball (2011–2019) is an animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around the lives of 12-year-old Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his goldfish best friend—adoptive brother 10-year-old Darwin, who attends middle school in the fictional city of Elmore.

The Check [4.06]

Gumball: I would use the money to buy a new suit and tie to become...president of the WORLD!

(In his fantasy..)

Gumball: (in a Southern accent) If you vote for me, I promise you a seven-day weekend and state-issued mobility scooters. I'll replace the water supply with soda, and the sidewalks with conveyor belts. And I'll make pizza delivery the fourth emergency service.

(Gumball ends the campaign video by holding a sign saying "Vote Gumball" over the screen)

Gumball: Then, all I have to do is put it on the Internet...

Anais: Gumball, have you seen all the videos of fatheads asking to be President? You'd just be another drop of dumbness in the online ocean of idiocy.

Gumball: Doo-doo-doo! Wait till you see my viral trump card...

(Gumball's trump card is revealed to be him using the sweat on his hands to squeak the notes of "The Star-Spangled Banner" to appeal for votes.)

Guy 1: Hahaha! He gets my vote!

Guy 2: I don't know what he stands for, but he sure gets my vote!

Sheep: BAAAAAAA! (Translates to: "Well, if everyone else if voting for him...")

Anais: Okay, Mr. President. So what are you gonna do when everyone's so fat from eating pizza and not walking that they need a grabbing stick to grab their grabbing stick?

Gumball: Everyone will have...ROBOT SERVANTS!

(However...)

Reporter: We've had more reports of robot servants refusing to obey commands.

(In one instance, a robot servant prepares to feed its owner a pizza slice, but starts slapping him with it.)

Reporter: They seem to have developed a will of their own, and are now violently rebelling against their owners. Scientists are baffled by what people are now calling...the ROBOLUTION!

(The news camera films a robot servant ominously turning to look their way. When it sees the camera, its eyes turn red and light up as if it was about to shoot a laser, cutting to static. We then see Gumball making a broadcast from the Oval Office.)

Gumball: My fellow Americans...I think we all know where this is going, so let's just skip to the end.

The Routine [4.11]

---

(The episode opens on a statue of a distinguished warrior)

Narrator: In an age long forgotten, legend speaks of an unsung hero. Some call him the Couch Crusher; to others he's known simply as the Oncoming Wind. But, to a special few, he's known as--

Gumball, Darwin and Anais: DAD!

The Comic [4.13]

Darwin: Should we call the police?

Gumball: (groans) And tell them what? That we spent the day dressed like eastern European popstars and got mugged for $7 by a shadow?

---

(Sarah slides her latest Laserheart issue to the boys.)

Gumball: Sarah, please, just stop.

Sarah: Just read it.

(Gumball opens the comic.)

Gumball: (reading a page) "I'm glad you guys are still friends despite fighting for my affections"?

(The boys give Sarah a questioning look.)

Sarah: What? It's fanfiction. There's bound to be a bit of shipping.

---

(As Onyx runs, the next panels show Laserheart performing bizarre poses as he gives chase.)

Gumball: Yeah, I don't think a body can make those shapes. Onyx took his heart, not his spine.

Sarah: Just keep reading.

---

Onyx: "Without your laser heart, you cannot defeat me!"

(Onyx throws a punch, and Laserheart does the same, then back, then forth, repeating again and again across the next panel.)

Sarah: Yeah, the issue was running short, so I photocopied those frames to pad out the fight scene.

The Uploads [4.15]

(The episode opens on Gumball and Darwin's computer. Gumball opens the Internet and types in "Elmore Stream-It". Before he could click a video...)

Darwin: DON'T DO IT!!

Gumball: I just need one, man. Just one.

Darwin: Don't! You know what happens if you disappear down the Elmore Stream-Hole. Who knows just how many precious hours you'll lose watching idiotic online videos? So, just back away from the PC.

Gumball: DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! I'LL CLICK IT! I WILL!!!!

The Hug [4.17]

(On the bus...)

Darwin: Hiding is not gonna make it go away, and why on earth would you invite him to a sleepover?

Gumball: Whoever pays for lunch gets a sleepover. It's a social contract.

Darwin: You're talking out of your backside, dude.

Gumball: At least you'll be there to support me.

Darwin: Nope!

(Darwin gets off the bus at Banana Joe's house)

Darwin: I'm having a sleepover at Banana Joe's. I predicted you'd do something like this, so I decided to get out of the house for the evening.

Gumball: Fine! I don't need you! I still have Anais!

(Anais pops out of Darwin's backpack.)

Anais: Nope. You made your bed, and now you have awkwardly lie next to a stranger in it.

Darwin: Bye!

(Gumball yells, slamming his butt against the back windshield of the bus in despair as it departs.)

The Detective [4.36]

---

Anais: It always looks like a normal day. Mommy's at work. Daddy's asleep on the sofa. The birds are singing, and the sun shines on Elmore... (deep voice) It's in these completely normal moments in which horror chooses to strike.
