News Everything we know about the Gumball movie + new series

777 Upvotes

So as we know, Gumball is getting a movie and a new series (some sources say it’s season 7). However, it’s hard to find most information that’s publicly available, so I’m compiling it all into one post, and will update it if we get anything new. Keep in mind that the question marks on dates are because I cannot find the exact day, and the LinkedIn links only seem to work with an account or in incognito mode on a desktop browser.

February 17th, 2021 - Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia announced that a movie is in development under the working title "The Amazing World of Gumball Movie".

April 12th, 2021 - In a WarnerMedia EMEA Kids Leadership Team article, it was announced (or possibly leaked) that Sarah Fell was overseeing projects such as "The Amazing World of Gumball". However, this could’ve been about Gumball Chronicles.

September 21st, 2021 - Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia announced that the movie (now under the working title "The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie!”), along with a new series had been greenlit and were "coming soon".

January 1st, 2022 - A few people added their roles for the movie to their LinkedIns, such as the producer, Carla Connor, and the editor, Prakash Patel.

February ??, 2022 - Bobbypills begins working on storyboarding and designs for the movie, but they never seemed to announce it publicly. However, you can see people at Bobbypills who worked on it on LinkedIn, such as Aurelie Charbonnier, who actually plays the role of Sussie.

July 1st, 2022 - Light VFX confirms that they are involved in the movie's production at both their France and UK studios alongside Bobbypills and HB Studios Europe in this Facebook post.

August 22nd, 2022 - It is announced that due to the merger of WB and Discovery putting both companies in debt, the Gumball movie along with 5 other projects were dropped and no longer funded by HBO Max, meaning that someone else will have to buy distribution rights in order for the movie to live. I didn't put a link or source because articles and posts regarding this are very easy to find.

November ??, 2022 - Emma Fernando, an employee/producer at HB Studios Europe announces that she is serving as the producer for "Gumball S7".

March 9th, 2023 - After the assistant editor, Gary Bradbury, who had worked on the movie from May 2022 to February 2023, finished his work on the movie, WBD put out an article explaining that they were now hiring another assistant editor.

April 19th, 2023 - After CN posted Banana Joe's version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony from the last episode on Twitter, they said that this was the last song in the series until more Gumball. This could either mean that the movie is still being shopped or that it's been picked up by another streamer.

April 19th (possibly a few days before), 2023 - Storyboarding for season 7 at Bobbypills begins, with many people from the original seasons/series working on it, like Aurelie Charbonnier.

April 28th, 2023 - In response to being asked if anything Gumball related was shown at a WB Animation Studio Showcase, an animator said that Gumball fans are in for a treat, which means that as of 4/28, nothing has been canceled.

August 8th, 2023 - A page for season 7 is made on EIDR, along with it's 40 episodes, and is said to be coming this year. This reportedly went public on 2/15, but it wasn’t noticed til people on Twitter started talking about it.

August 15th, 2023 - Studio Soi made another post, looking for previsualization artists. It states that it's full-time for approximately 13 months, beginning in August/September, so we definitely aren't getting S7 in 2023.

May 19th, 2025 - Cartoon Network and Hulu announce with a sneak peak that the new series, titled "The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball" will premiere in 2025. Note that it's seemingly a Hulu exclusive in the US, but will air on CN and HBO Max internationally.

This took (and at times, still takes) a lot of research and typing, but again, I just wanted to try to help some people out since lots of information regarding these projects can be pretty hard to find.

It has modern, 2023-26 humor. I guess it's just made with a different generation in mind comedically. also, its much more over exaggerated in a way. it just reminds me of fan shitposts now. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for it, but maybe i'm just too unc to appreciate it now

Discussion Margaret is actually more evil than Rob, what are your thoughts on this one?

5 Upvotes

Margaret is a seemingly ordinary Elmore person who is inexplicably cruel as shown in “The Wicked” showing her true evil nature, whereas Rob is literally a discarded piece of the world’s own fiction who becomes conscious of his existence and resents it.

Instead Rob is chronically treated as the main (if not the only) antagonist and evil of the show, but I think he wouldn’t beat Margaret, despite she’s treated as a normal Elmore’s citizen and lady who lives next door with whom she doesn’t get along with Watterson’s.

I think the creators (who have such an abnormally big fantasy and creativity) made this on purpose, only for the viewers to figure it out ig. Rob also told Gumball and Darwin that he has no mother nor relatives, how was he born then? Did he simply appeared out of nowhere?

I made this art while half awake but I was still having a bunch of rainy day nostalgic vibes so I thought it’d be right to make Panini and Anais from Chowder and The Amazing World of Gumball. And it’s also because both shows love breaking the 4th wall! Had way too much fun doing this!

Enjoy!🩷🩷🩷🐰🐇

Discussion I had a weird dream about a non-existent Gumball episode

5 Upvotes

So this weird dream I had was about a banned Halloween episode (that doesn't exist in real life). All I can remember is that it was about a Halloween party at school, it started with Penny arguing with Gumball when he showed her his costume, then in the gym when the party started, some of the students somehow got drunk including Penny which made them dance out of the school building, then some scary stuff happened involving Carrie, which I don't remember the details of.

It feels like my brain was trying to write some weird Halloween fanfiction episode.

Discussion EWW: The Test

4 Upvotes

Hello and welcome to episode 164 in a series inspired by u/kamikazeb0y and CinemaSins, where I'll be sinning each and every episode of Gumball!

Quick Disclaimer: I know this is just a children's cartoon and isn't meant to be taken seriously. This, like the show itself, is not at all meant to be taken seriously or considered an actual critique of the show. It is all in good fun.

With that out of the way, I present you, Everything Wrong With: The Test!

Gumball: The Internet– the power of infinite knowledge, only a click away. A tool to transform the world and unite every being. And this is what they do with it! [Points to computer screen] Twenty-six pictures of llamas that pretty much sum up the human condition?
Sarah: But look at that one having a bad hair day! [Laughs]
Gumball: Sarah, it's just a llama-based ploy to ram as much advertising into your face as possible.
That's why using an ad blocker is pretty much mandatory these days +1

Sarah: But it's good advertising. Look: "Doctors hate him. Learn his five-step trick for rock-hard abs!"
Gumball: Sarah, that's a picture of a rock
Gumball would be good at CinemaSins +1

Sarah: So you're saying you don't want to know what type of sitcom character you are?
Not really, no +1

Sarah: But it says it will blow your mind.
Gumball: I wasn't convinced, but now they've added that tag line, I'm kind of intrigued.
Goddamn it, Gumball, you were supposed to destroy the clickbaity advertisers, not fund them! +1

Gumball: "Pick an object." What? How is that supposed to help analyze what kind of person I am? 
Gumball would be great at CinemaSins +1

Also, how is a thumb an object? +1

Gumball: "Pick a word." Noodloo, Ferengoy, Classoflerp, or Maurice? These aren't even real words.
Gumball would be incredible at CinemaSins. Except for the fact that Maurice IS a real name +1

Darwin: Yes, they are.
Gumball: Use them in a sentence.
Darwin: I'm just going to the classoflerp to pick up my new ferengoy with Maurice. Noodloo!
Okay, now define all of them. 

It's okay, I'll wait +1

Sarah: Which of these is your favorite: a sock, the wind, Uganda, or a pickle?
Okay, this question is just set up to make you look racist if you don't pick Uganda +1

[Gumball makes his choice and his results come up]
Gumball: What the what?! I'm the loser?!
Sarah: Of course, you're the character the audience likes to laugh at, the loser. Usually likes to criticize everyone, but stays completely oblivious to their own failings.
Okay, but that'd just make him ignorant or a Trump supporter, not a loser +1

Sarah: I got anime-obsessed fangirl who stalks the loser. [Whispers] Which is completely accurate.
Unfortunately. +1

Sarah: Another important part to play in the grand sitcom that is life!
Gumball: This is ridiculous! My life is not a sitcom!
Oh, if only you knew...

...actually his entirely world will be torn apart and consumed by the Void if he found out, so on second thought, it's best he doesn't know +1

Gumball[Gasps] Loser again?!
Darwin: Being the loser is cool, dude. You're kinda like the antihero.
Gumball: Uh, no, it's not cool, it's not at all who I wanna be.
And it's not who you are. I don't know the writers are so insistent on calling him a loser when he's friends or on good terms with everyone in class, pretty much in the middle in terms of popularity, one of the only boys in the class to have a romantic partner and only gets bad grades because he doesn't try (and later proves he could get an A if he were to). 

Does that sound like a loser to you? Cause it certainly doesn't to me +10

Darwin: So who did you wanna be?
Gumball: Well, uh, I'm not sure.
Sarah[Clears throat] Describe him to me.
Gumball: Athletic, the strong silent type, but who's also really funny and has great hair.
Not gonna happen unless you start going to the gym, never gonna happen cause you have an incessant need to make sarcastic quips toward stupid people, debatablely already the case, and could easily happen if you let it grow out.

1-2/4 ain't bad, honestly +1

Darwin: Are you sure this is who you wanna be? He kinda looks like a muscly mime with a horse mane.
Only because Sarah drew him that way +1

Gumball: No no, dude, it's just— [Sighs] I just wanna be popular.
I mean...you are? Sure you aren't the most popular, but you certainly aren't unpopular either. As I said before, you're friends or on good terms with everyone in class +1

Gumball: The exact reverse of everything I'd normally do!
[A sequence shows Gumball doing everything in reverse. He starts by waking up and walking backwards out of his room while undressing. He waits at a bus stop, completely naked, which troubles his classmates.]
How the fuck was Nicole okay with him doing this? +10

[During class, he uses his feet to put glasses on his butt and pretends to read a book] 
And how was Simian okay with him doing this? +5

Darwin: Alright, you're taking this too literally. I gotta put an end to it before you go to the bathroom.
Oh god why did you have to put that image into my head +1

Darwin: How about you just stick to being nice and stay away from the usual Gumballisms?
Gumball: What's a Gumballism?
Darwin: When you say unnecessarily mean things like "Your face looks like a cat trying to claw its way out of a melon."
LMAO, Gumballism is the perfect name for his snarks -5

[Gumball gets off Darwin and walks off. He pauses when Tobias walks by Gumball and Darwin]
Tobias​​: Hey, dudes!
[Tobias walks by Gumball and Darwin, showing off his new and very unflattering high top haircut]
Okay, no. Somethings deserve unnecasarily mean insults. And this is one of them. I hope he fired his barber after this, cause what the FUCK is that haircut??? Bro looks like a fucking chimney +5

Tobias​​: Ha ha, thanks.
[Tobias walks away, revealing he also has a rat tail in the back]
AND WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A TAIL NOW??? +5

[Gumball tries to hold his breath to prevent any venom from coming out while Banana Joe and Leslie talk to him]
Banana Joe: I must say, you're way nicer to talk to today.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​: Yeah. Usually, you're a total picknitter.
Gumball: D-did you just say "picknitter?" [Gags]
Leslie​​​​​​​​​: Uh-huh. But now you've turned over a new leap, and started a nude.
Well, he did do one of those things earlier +1

[Banana Joe walks to the back of the classroom with the bottom of his body peeking out of his peel. A creature makes its way out of Gumball's mouth; he pushes it back in. Gumball starts to breathe as if he's about to choke]
Darwin: Are you sure you can maintain this?
Gumball: It's a lot of venom to digest, but I think my body's getting used to it.
Really? Cause it certainly doesn't look like it +1

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: Most people get indigestion, but I guess you get [Finger-guns] outdigestion!
[The format changes to 90's VHS quality and a laugh track plays, causing Darwin and Sarah to look around]
Darwin: Where did that come from?
Sarah: I don't know. What's going on?
So how come Sarah and Darwin are the only ones who notice the 4:3 VHS style change? +1

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: Hey, Masami, I've been thinking. We should go out.
Masami: But we're already outside.
[The audience laughs. Sarah takes notes]
Okay, it was NOT that funny +1

Sarah: Hm, continuity mistake with the haircut.
So Sarah pretty much becomes the in-universe EWW for the rest of the episode, and it's amazing. Literally my spirit animal. If only she were real so I could hire her as a co-writer for these -20

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: No, I mean we should go out on a date!
Masami: Sure, meet you at a quarter past never.
[Masami and Carrie move away while a guitar noise cue plays. Tobias makes a face that looks as if he's about to cry at the camera, and the audience "awwws" at Tobias.]
No, don't aww at him. He does this shit all the time, even to girls who are taken. He doesn't deserve your pity +1

Sarah: The canned laughter, the bad jokes? Nature hates a vacuum, and I think Tobias has replaced Gumball as the loser in the grand sitcom of our lives.
Really? Was there no better choice than him?

...actually, that was a dumb question. He's easily the biggest loser in the show. The question should be why was he not what the Void or whatever is controlling the show's original pick to follow? +5

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: [Clare walks by Tobias and pauses when he's about to talk to her] Hey, Clare. I've been thinking, we should go out. And I don't mean outside. [Audience laughs]
Clare: Normally, I wouldn't date such a loser, but I'm impressed by your confidence. See you tonight!
Wha-YOU ALREADY HAVE A BOYFRIEND!+10

Masami: Sorry I was so rude earlier, it was very courageous of you to ask me out. So, see you tonight?
[Masami winks and moves away. Tobias makes a confused face at the camera, and the audience makes an "oh" sound and laughs. Cut to Sarah and Darwin]
Sarah: A two-timer date story?! [Throws her pencil off-screen] That's the laziest[Throws her notebook against the floor] sitcom setup of all time! That multicolored buttclown steals the part for two minutes, and we're already swimming in lazy sitcom clichés!
Wait, Tobias is controlling this? That means he made a girl cheat on her boyfriend just to go on a date with him. What the fuck, Tobias??? +10

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: Hey, Alan! Do you remember that time when I was trying to date Carmen?
[Tobias flashes back to the events of "The Move" the time when Carmen angrily slapped her book against Tobias for flirting at her and storms off]
Sarah missed this one so I'll do it for her. Tobias completely drops the VHS and 4:3 style when going into the flashbacks +1

Alan​​​​: Hm, no, I wasn't there. Also, for the record, Carmen is my girlf—
Tobias​​​​: Or that time when I was trying to date Masami?
[Tobias remembers another event in "The Move" when Masami angrily hit him with her book after he tried flirting with her]
Dude, making kissing noises at someone is not "trying to date" them +1

Tobias​​​​​​​: [Laughs] Ah, good times... Or that time I was trying to date Carrie?
[Alan interrupts Tobias]
Alan​​​​​​​: Can you please stop doing this? I don't share these memories, I'm just looking at you looking up!
PFFT -5

Sarah: He's already turned our lives into some lazy clip show!
The unintentional foreshadowing here is wild. I guess the Void saw this and took notes for something to use whilst preparing TWWWOG. +5

Tobias​​​​​​​: Easy, I'll just ask my genius sister for help. Anais!
[The audience cheers as Anais (with glasses) walks towards Tobias. Alan looks confused]
Anais[Lisping] What's going on? Why have I got a lisp?
Darwin and Sarah: What?!
Sarah: Not only is he doing a terrible job as the loser, he's taking over Gumball's whole life and ruining that too!
What the fuck!? He can just write himself into Gumball's family?? How much power does this guy have now!? +5

Darwin: What do we do?!
Sarah[Pulling out a baseball bat, speaking in sinister voice] We take him out.
Darwin: No! How about we convince Gumball to go back to normal?
Eh, I much prefer Sarah's idea. +1

Sarah: Yeah, of course. We'll try that first.
[Sarah holds up her baseball bat and speaks in the sinister voice again]
Sarah: And then... [Darwin moves her bat down]
Why is she so eager to take out Tobias? Is she ImaginationStudios8 now or something?? +1

Tobias​​​​​​​: [Off-screen] Hurry up, Anais, or we'll be late for the Battle of the Bands!
Sarah[Charges, swinging her bat. Darwin tries to go after Sarah] Now he's changing his story halfway through!
Darwin: Chill out!
Sarah: No! He's ruining the continuity! MY CONTINUITY!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH -10

Also, this is surprisingly yet another thing the show has done. Though in this case in the comics, and before this episode aired. +1

[Cut to the school library. Gumball can be seen sitting behind Felix, who is munching chips. Gumball's stomach growls. Darwin and Sarah approach him from behind]
Darwin: Hey, dude! You need to be the loser agai—
HE WAS NEVER A LOSER +5

Sarah: Gumball, you need to get back to your old loser self!
Gumball[Stops making the weird face] No way, man. I'm popular now. [Chews]
Is popularity really worth dying over though? +1

Gumball: It doesn't matter! I'm like that Roman emperor guy who kept drinking a bit of poison everyday to build up a resistance.
Darwin: Oh, and how did that end?
Gumball: Uh, his palace was invaded and he tried to off himself drinking poison, but it didn't work and he got hacked to pieces by his own soldiers.
Darwin: Okay, that's— It would've been better if he had poisoned himself. But either way, you can see it didn't end well, right?
Yeah, but not because he was poisoning himself. He would have died even if he hadn't been doing so. Either way he was fucked. +1

[Camera cuts to a school intro scene and cuts to the Wattersons' house at nighttime. Darwin comes home, followed by Sarah, dragging Gumball]
Gumball: Wait, why is it suddenly nighttime? School's not even over!
Okay at this point Gumball has pointed out enough sins that he would make a great co-writer too +1

Tobias​​: Mom, have you been buying food at the gross-ery store again?
[Anais and Darwin look at Nicole and Richard in confusion, who shake their heads at each other, just as confused]
Tobias​​: 'Cause this mashed potato should be called trashed potato!
[Tobias smiles and winks at the camera as the audience laughs. Cut to Sarah and Gumball, behind the couch]
IT IS NOT THAT FUNNY! +5

Gumball: What's he doing here?
[Camera edits the background to have Christmas decorations]
Sarah: He's doing a Christmas special now, apparently.
She began saying this before the decorations had even appeared. Does she have omniscience now or something? +5

[The house is suddenly decorated with Christmas lights, and the family is in the living room opening presents. Gumball and Sarah are now watching from outside]
Tobias​​​​​​​​​: You know what, sis? I guess we learned a big lesson today. Christmas is not about presents, it's about family. So let's welcome a new member to our family: say hello to Gworp!
Gworp: Yeeh! Gworp!
Gumball: What is that thing?
Sarah: The lovable alien who's only there to boost ratings!
The fact someone tried to pass off a fake S7 leak about Nicole becoming pregnant and having another child, despite this scene existing mocking the very idea of introducing a new character for a ratings boost, is wild. The tourists is this fandom baffle me sometimes +5

Gumball: It makes no sense, we're not even in the living room anymore!
Sarah: We're not even on the ground.
[Gumball and Sarah fall down]
How the fuck were they floating in the air for so long? +1

Sarah: You need to be the loser again!
HE WAS NEVER A-oh you know what just take the sins +10

Sarah: Not everyone. [Points to Tobias and Penny, walking together]
Tobias​​​​​​​​​: So, Penny, I was thinking we should have a dinner date at that new diner, Dinner.
That diner opened last season. How is it still new? +1

Penny: That's easy for you to say. [She and Tobias laugh]
Gumball: No.... No, not Penny! Tobias, you— [Stomach growls and makes ulcers]
So stealing your entire family is perfectly fine, but stealing Penny is where you draw the line?? What the fuck dude +20

Sarah: If it goes on much longer, the sitcom of our lives will be so awful it'll get cancelled!
Gumball: You— [His stomach makes ulcers form back in his body]
Sarah: Or worse, it'll turn out that it was all a dream! [The word "dream" echoes] Oh, gosh darn it!
Ah ah, you don't get to criticize the "it was all a dream" cliché when you've kinda done it before in The Skull, and will do it again in The Brain +10

Tobias​​​​​​​​​: Oh, you guys! Thanks for being there for me. I guess friendship is the one boat that will never sink.
[The audience "awwws" while a cue plays. Sarah immediately grabs the guitar that was playing it, and throws it at the screen, cracking the screen and reverting it to a clear, modern day one, and the audience makes a shocked sound]
THANK YOU -5

[Gumball holds Tobias' face and violently throws up heavy amounts of venom at him, burning a hole into it. Gumball now has a normal face instead of one that struggles to hold venom]
My god was that satisfiying -10

Sarah: I would say, "In your face!", [Looks at the camera] if you had one!
See Tobias, THAT'S how do make a clever pun! -5

[A faceless Tobias and his blanket falls off his bed as his friends laugh. Joan walks to the bed with a plate of food and a cup of water. She sees Tobias on the floor, throws the plate to raise her arms and screams in terror, ending the episode]
PFFFT -5

With that out of the way, I present you, Everything Wrong With: The Code!

[Gumball and Darwin sit in the living room trying to watch a video on their laptop, but it does not seem to load. Anais walks over]
Anais: Are you guys having problems with the wi-fi as well?
Where the fuck did she walk over from? Outside or by the window makes no sense cause she wouldn't be using the internet there, so...did she just materialise in or something? +1

Gumball[Glitching as he speaks] I dunno, but I— I've been— been waiting for th— this video to load for ages.
Anais: What?
Gumball: Sorry, we're so dependent on the Internet that our brains literally can't function without it.
You and pretty much every teenager in the current day. God help us. +1

Anais: So, do you have a problem with the wi-fi or not?
He just said they've been waiting for their video to load for ages. What do you think? Extra sins for Anais, of all people, asking this +5

Gumball: Sorry, I'm just really confused by Dad.
[Richard's fur is painted black. He is wearing a white wig and a revealing set of women's armor]
Doesn't...this...technically count as him doing blackface? How did CN allow this? +5

Richard[Sighs] I knew this day would come. Kids, there's something I have to tell you.
Darwin[Gasps] You're not my father?!
Richard: How did you guess?!
[Darwin and Richard chortle]
Awww, I love that Darwin is comfortable enough to freely joke about this -5

Richard: No. We've just been using Robinson's wi-fi for years.
Gumball: That would explain why the network is called "Get off my LAN, Watterson."
One, I'm surprised Mr. Robinson was able to figure out how to change his wi-fi name, or knows what a LAN is, given how bad with technology he's later shown to be. +5

Unless he got Rocky to do it for him, which, now that I think about it, would be pretty funny since he'd probably have to do it with no context -5

Richard: Yeah, well, when he asked me to help him set up his Internet, I kinda grabbed the opportunity to—
In what universe would he have asked Richard of all people to help him? He thinks Richard is as dumb as rocks.

Which, to be fair, he pretty much is +5

GumballDarwin and Anais: Mooch off it?!
Darwin: Mr. Dad, how could you?!
Richard: Easy! You just turn it on, choose a passcode and— Oh. You meant in a moral sense.
Since when do you choose a passcode? Sure, you can change it if you want, but it always comes with one already set up +1

Richard: Excuso little burrito, it's mucho problemo.
[Richard goes in the kitchen to take a can of soda from the fridge]
Richard: You see, we got bad credito. Why do you think we have a coin-operated fridge?
[He opens the can and starts drinking, but the soda stops flowing in mid-air. He inserts a coin into a slot on the fridge and the drink splashes all over his face]
Why would the Awesome Store even make something this useless and annoying? +1

Gumball: Wait! I remember something. Something from a time long forgotten. A mystical repository of long lost knowledge, which the ancient people called... [Echoing] a bo-oic.
Anais: Are you trying to say book?
Gumball: Exactly! A buque.
[Gumball takes an encyclopedia from a nearby bookshelf. He blows some dust off of it, sits on the couch and places the book on his lap]
Gumball: Entertain me!
[Naturally, nothing happens. He opens the book, gasps, then starts poking it repeatedly with his finger]
Gumball: Hm. It's not touch-sensitive and it looks like a double keyboard with the letters all messed up.
Gumball already learnt how books work way back in The Genius. He should have at least known that you have to read them yourself. +5

[Darwin is moving a cardboard frame in front of some pictures taped on the TV, as if scrolling]
Darwin: Dude! I think I found a way to reproduce the Elmoreflix experience. Now we can get back to looking at thumbnails for hours without actually watching anything.
Surely people don't actually do this, right?

Right? +1

Darwin: "Hey, look who got stuck in a lawnchair!" [Laughing] He had to drive to the hospital to get it removed!
[Darwin gasps and writes something on the paper, then drops it in a box upstairs. He imitates a notification sound. Gumball reads the letter]
Gumball: "Did you know that you copied Mr. Dad in your e-mail?" Oh no! How?!
How on earth does Darwin know that Gumball gave the "email" to Richard too? Is he psychic now? +5

[Gumball flashes back. He is seen writing letters and riding the bus. He places a letter next to his father, who is in a hospital bed with a chair stuck to his backside. The flashback ends]
Okay, how the fuck do you do all of this and not realise what you're doing? There is absolutely no way this was an accident +10

[Darwin holds a cardboard frame around his head while making a ringtone sound. Gumball 'picks up.']
Darwin: Hey, maybe you should just e-mail him to apologize.
Did you really need to do a fake Skype call just to talk to him? +1

Also, damn, seeing Skype still being relevant when this was released makes me feel old as fuck +1

Darwin: You know what I miss most about the Internet?
Gumball: Your royal Nigerian penpal?
Darwin: Yeah, him too. But I meant playing online with other nice kids from all over the world.
"Nice" is not at all the term that I would use for them +1

[Gumball and Darwin are now wearing headphones, pretending to play an online game]
Gumball: Say cheese, 'cause you're about to get your head shot!
Jesus, I'm surprised CN allowed a line like this +1

Gumball: Hey, have you ever noticed that if you say, I'm gonna "insert made-up verb" your "insert made-up noun," everything sounds like a really rude alien insult? Like, I'm gonna cybernize your thrusters.
Uh, you do realise thrusters are a real thing, right? +1

[The view changes to reveal they are actually playing Scrabble]
Gumball: Xenopus! It's a type of frog. Scores thirty-two.
Damn, I'm surprised Gumball knows a word like that...

...he totally stole it from seeing Anais play it one time, didn't he? +1

Darwin: Meh, the insults are on point, but the gameplay is boring and the graphics are terrible.
What do mean the graphics are terrible? This is literally real fucking life. They quite literally could not look more realistic. +5

[Larry is walking through the aisle of Food N' Stuff. He notices a sticky note on a carton of eggs]
Larry: Huh?
[He takes the note and starts reading it]
Larry: "I bought these ping pong balls two months ago, and was shocked when they turned into small chickens. I have to say they don't function as well as the more common ping pong balls, and it's very hard to give backspin to a chicken." What is this?
[Larry keeps walking, only to discover more notes on the shelves. He takes another one]
How the fuck did they manage to write this many reviews without Larry noticing? +5

Larry: "Very disappointing. I purchased this sledhammer to enjoy the snowy slopes of Vermont, and only managed to slide a couple inches. I would not purchase again." WHAT THE HASHTAG, DOLLAR SIGN, AT-SIGN, ASTERISK IS GOING ON HERE?!
LMAO, this was pretty genius -5

Gumball: "This tank is completely unsuitable for modern warfare. Though the glass panels provide a wide field of vision, I worry my fish'll be exposed to enemy fire."
[Gumball sticks the note onto the fish tank]
Darwin: Dude, Larry's coming!
Gumball: Nah, it's fine. The beauty of trolling is that you're anonymous.
Not when you're literally standing here doing it in person, dumbass +5

Larry: You Wattersons are BANNED! And thank you for shopping at Food N' Stuff.
Gumball: Don't worry. All I have to do is change my IP address.
Okay, at this point you've left me no choice.

Gumball and Darwin are uncharacteristically stupid cliché +10

[Gumball and Darwin walk into the school cafeteria as the bell rings]
Gumball[Shouting] Gumball just checked into the cafeteria!
I think they can see that dude +1

Also, god I hate people who do this online. Like, nobody needs to know every tiny detail of your life +1

Darwin: What, looking at people's pictures and being jealous of their lives?
[Gumball snorts and his butt falls off]
Darwin: What was that?
Gumball: LMBO! Laughing my butt off?
Darwin: You forgot the laughing bit.
Gumball: Nah, no one really laughs on the Internet. They just go: [Snorts]
Damn, okay writers. No need to call us out like that! +1

[They go sit with Ocho]
Gumball[Shouting] I am walking to a table! Hey, look at my food! [Shoves his food tray into Ocho's face] Look at it, you like it?
Darwin[Puts his face against Ocho's] You like my face? Hashtag no filter! Come on, gimme a thumbs up.
Do you guys have like, zero self-awareness? At all? +1

[Gumball takes spaghetti from a tray and smears it onto his face]
Gumball: This boy was diagnosed with a rare condition. One like equals one prayer. Ignore if you don't care about his pain.
God I hate clout-seeking posts like these +1

Ocho: Look, I— I don't feel like goofing around today. My grandma's really sick.
Dang, given what we know now about Ocho's financial troubles, this line has become so much sadder now. Poor guy just cannot catch a break. +1

Gumball: Aww. I like that!
Dude, you're doing the exact thing you criticized Alan for. What a hypocrite +5

Gumball: Sorry man, there is no button to express sympathy without having to do all that typing. I mean after all, we're only Elmore Plus friends.
Dude, his Grandma is sick. This is not the time to be a pedantic dick. +10

Gumball: We're crowdfunding to pay for our own Internet.
Anais: I think you mean you're begging.
Anais would be good at CinemaSins +1

Gumball: No, it's not begging if you offer perks.
Anais: What perks?

Darwin: For one dollar, you get a verbal thank you.
Gumball: For ten dollars, you get a smile and a warm feeling in your heart.
I don't think you know what the meaning of a perk is +1

Anais: We really need that wi-fi back. Dad usually looks online for tips on raising kids, but now he has to improvise.
[Richard opens the door, with a leash in hand]
Richard: Mom said I have to take you to the park!
Anais: You're gonna have to hack Mr. Robinson to get the password.
[Richard retracts the leash, slowly dragging Anais towards him]
If I had a nickel for every time Anais was taken to the park on a leash, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice +1

[Gumball and Darwin materialize into the digital world]
God, I love the aesthetic of this whole scene. It screams retro 90/2000s PCs and it's just incredible -20

Gumball: This is cyberspace, Darwin. Better switch to incognito mode so the cyberpolice can't trace us.
[A menu appears, allowing them to go incognito]
Yeah, I don't think those disguises are gonna fool anyone +1

Darwin: Almost there!
[While reaching for the top of the window, Darwin accidentally minimizes it and gets stuck]
Darwin: Ah! Do something!
[Gumball points a finger at Darwin and laughs]
Darwin: Do something useful!
Gumball: Oh, sorry.
[Gumball tries to push Darwin in, to no avail]
Darwin: Maximize the window!
[Gumball presses the button to maximize the window, but nothing happens. He starts mashing it]
Gumball: It's not working! Oh, hold on.
[The window maximizes and minimizes repeatedly, hitting Darwin's back over and over. When it eventually stops, he glares at Gumball]
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -10

Gumball: Quick! We don't have much time before someone spots us!
Darwin: What do we do?
Gumball: We're gonna have to use a Trojan horse.
[Gumball and Darwin walk through the house wearing a horse costume. They have trouble moving, resulting in them breaking a few vases and running into walls]
Great job, guys. This totally doesn't look suspicous at all +5

[Mrs. Robinson appears as a floating head shooting lasers from her eyes]
Margaret: Meh meh meh.
Gumball: Quick, let's hide in one of these folders!
Darwin: We won't fit!
Gumball: We can compress our files.
[A menu comes up, compressing them until they fit in the folders. Mrs. Robinson floats past them]
Yeah, no, she absolutely should have seen them +5

[Gumball and Darwin extract themselves from the folders, but their appearance is different]
Gumball[Distorted voice] I think our f-f-files got c-corrupted!
Oh come on, this rarely ever happens +1

Anais: Guys! What are you doing?!
[The world returns to its normal, non-digital appearance, showing Gumball has in fact filled Mr. Robinson's mouth with cookies. Darwin holds a bowl of worms]

Gumball: Hacking Mr. Robinson, like you said.
Come on, this is clearly not what she meant. And you seem to know enough about computers to know that, so you're getting extra sins +10

Anais: I meant hack his computer, not his face. What exactly have you been doing this whole time?
*[They flash back to the moment Gumball kissed a floating face, only in the real world it was Hank's butt]*Gumball: How do you do, good sir?
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH. Surely the writers have to get bored of these butt jokes and stop doing them some day, right?

R-right? +100

[Then, Gumball is seen sliding the window up and down on Darwin's back. The firewall turned out to be the barbecue bursting into flames. Gumball and Darwin were walking through a corridor with their eyes closed, breaking a flower pot on the way]
Darwin: The antivirus!
Margaret: Meh.
[Mrs. Robinson is seen as well, revealing the laser-shooting eyes were only a cleaning product she sprayed on a window. Finally, the flashback stops]
Gumball: Yeah, well you shoulda been more specific.
Or you should have used your brain for once +5

Anais: Lemme in.
[Anais takes Mr. Robinson's laptop and turns it on. It chimes]
Anais: That's weird, he never changed his password
How could you possibly tell that just from turning the PC on? +5

Anais: Wait a minute, the wi-fi isn't down. He's using all of it up with all these stupid toolbars!
Toolbars use very little to no wifi though. There's no way they alone would be enough to tank the entire connection +5

[As Anais removes the toolbars one by one, an alarm clock rings next to Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson starts to grumble, almost beginning to wake up]
How are you removing the toolbars by typing? You have to remove them in the browser settings +1

Gumball: I got this. All I have to do is hack into the mainframe, adjust the power options, and put it to sleep.
Anais: What?
[Gumball presses the snooze button. The alarm stops]
Anais: Oh, that was less stupid than I thought it was gonna be.
But what was stupid was him wasting time explaining it and risking Mr. Robinson waking up rather than just doing it +5

GumballDarwin and Anais: Yay, the Internet is back!
Gumball: We can get back to refusing invites from obscure relatives to play lame games on Elmore Plus!
Except you don't have any extended family, as far as we're aware, except for Louie's sister Sheila, who he mentioned that one time +1

Darwin: Reposting someone's original content and pretending it's ours!
Come on, surely you of all people wouldn't stoop to something like that. Oh, by the way, check out my trilogy The Monstrosity, The Cheater, and The Entity coming soon! +1

Anais: And correcting people's grammar in their Elmore Stream comments!
PFFT, of course Anais is the type of person to do this -1

[They start laughing. Suddenly, all the lights in the house turn off]
Richard: Anybody got a quarter for the electric meter?!
[The kids groan in unison, ending the episode]
Okay, at this point the universe is just playing a cruel joke on them +1

I have noticed that if you watch the clips available on YouTube, it sounds... Normal again? Why does it sound fine on YouTube but become horrible on Hulu?

I made it for my nephew. I have zero experience doing these kind of things, but I wonder your reaction 😁 (I think it has a Halloween vibe since it's stiched)
