* In "The Shippening", Elmore (if not the whole world, or perhaps even the entire universe) is lucky that the only thing Sarah was interested in using the magic book for (and being unaware that it's a magic book) is shipping various Elmore characters! Imagine if that book was to instead fall into the hands of, say, an OmnicidalManiac!! Or anyone else with nefarious goals.

* According to "The Drama", Carrie is 327 years old. That makes her relationship with Darwin, who is 10, a lot creepier.

* In "The Club", the Wattersons have the Rejects' Club tied up at the back of their car for their scheme against Gumbal and are contemplating what to do to them: [[TheStoolPigeon tell on their parents]], spray them in honey and leave them at the zoo, or [[ShamefulStrip strip them naked and leave them at the mall]], the club members, who are tied up and silenced, happily agree to the last one. It becomes fairly evident they realized this was as close to non-punishment as possible since they're mostly undressed to begin with.

** In "The Password" it turns out that Anais changed the password on the computer and she really *isn't* the favorite. Which makes sense, considering it was revealed in "The Goons" that *Darwin* is Richard's favorite.

** This is also supported by "The Crew" when he licks a jerkified Gumball and Darwin ({{ItMakesSenseInContext}}) and he says that he doesn't know if is more sad that he fact he was gonna to eat them, or the fact that he can't. [[NightareRetardant By the good side]] [[TheDitz Richard]] is not enough inteligent how to do it succefully

** Who ever said it didn't? Considering Tobias is shown to be infected at the end of the episode, it's possible it threw them off initially and they only *later* realized he wasn't one of them.

** 3. Of course they likely ''are'' some accommodations, it's just that most of them are implemented too subtly for the audience to notice without them being explicitly pointed out.

* In "The Bus", Rob made progress as a genuine threat to Gumball and the others. Just how much he can be even a bigger threat? We may find out in "The Disaster".]]

* In "The Shell", after [[spoiler:Gumball kisses Penny]], it clicks: what does it take to [[StealthPun buy a Gumball? A Penny!]]

* In "The Void," Darwin and Gumball suggest that Janice might have left Mr. Small as opposed to disappearing. Mr. Small seems to freeze before laughing maniacally and stating that Janice can't go anywhere without him. Given what we discover in the Void [[spoiler:that Janice is a van and not a person]], Mr. Small's statement becomes more literal and less crazy. She ''literally'' can't go anywhere without him.

* Overlaps with FridgeHorror, or perhaps HarsherInHindsight: In "The Nemesis," Gumball and Darwin follow [[spoiler:Rob]], their [[TitleDrop nemesis]] around all day trying to make him a better villain. Their efforts--loudly making up his theme song behind him on the bus, following him and throwing out obnoxious new villain names--result in only mild annoyance on his part. So what makes him snap? The last two "names" they suggest consist of "Doctor," followed by annoying static sounds ("Doctor KSSSHHHHHHHHHH"). [[spoiler:Given how sensitive about his new, staticy Void-body Rob is, of course he'd flip out. The thought of being constantly reminded of his "broken body" (as he puts it) is completely unbearable. It'd be the equivalent of calling someone covered in accident scars "Doctor Scar".]]

* Lots of Fridge Brilliance about Penny comes into play once you learn that [[spoiler:she's actually an EmpathicShapeshifter encased in a peanut shell.]] First, that you get a glimpse of her true form early in "The Shell" ([[spoiler:she'd obviously get self-conscious about herself as soon as she sees her "scar" and promptly change form as seen from inside her eyehole]]) and it also makes a lot of sense that she'd admire Gumball for daring to be himself in "The Gi".
* Why was Darwin immune to Jealousy in "The Flower" and yet was jealous in "The Burden" over Gumball [[spoiler:dating Penny]]? It's because he already has Gumball as both a brother and best friend who's always around and is enough to make him happy. Judging from his behavior in "The Burden", this will escalate in "The Bros" because he feels nothing without Gumball.

** This is supported even more in "The Origins" [[spoiler:when he watched his family try to replace him after he went missing.]] That's probably where his abandonment issues came from.

* In "The Password" it turns out Anais [[spoiler: changed the password]]. This makes sense, considering that in "The Goons" Richard explicitly states that his favorite child was [[spoiler: Darwin]].

* At the end of “The Inquisition”, [[spoiler: it’s revealed that Rob was trying to save everyone from the Void, which was going to (and eventually did) consume the world. Why was this happening? Because the series was ending. Without any new episodes, there was no reason for the show’s universe to exist anymore. So, it was sucked up like similarly irrelevant mistakes found inside the Void.]]
* Director Evil doesn't appreciate Ms Simian's attempts to flirt, for a couple obvious reasons (this ''is'' Ms Simian, after all). But even if it was another teacher trying it, it wouldn't work on the director [[spoiler: who is actually Rob. As a teenager at the oldest and a former student of Elmore Junior High, he has more than enough reasons to reject Ms. Simian based on sheer age-gap Squick factor.]]

* In "The Phone", Mr. Small fell asleep in his office while meditating and the candle he left burning set the room on fire. He most definitely would have '''''died horribly in a fiery blaze''''' if Gumball hadn't been there with the fire extinguisher.

* In "The Choices", Nicole imagines what life would be like if she hadn't met Richard. In two of her alternate paths, she marries Banana Bob and Harold--despite both men having sons in the present day, at no point does Nicole imagine having children with them. If Nicole had never met Richard, ''up to three children''--Anais, Gumball, and either Tobias or Banana Joe--would have never been born, with a fourth (Darwin) doomed to be a pet fish forever.

*** [[spoiler: An episode of DarwinsYearbook reveals that she is gone to college.]]
** To a certain extent the "world" even affected ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou us, the viewers]]''. When the world fixes a mistake everyone forgets about it. Plenty of viewers really had completely forgotten about Molly, meaning the world affected some of ''our'' memories of them as well.
%%*** Or people just sometimes forget about minor characters from TV shows...

* With Nicole's personality, it's not hard not to see her as a flat out AbusiveParent towards her children, especially how they ran away in fear of her in "The DVD", her implied physical threats in "The Egg", [[TookALevelInJerkass all of her behavior in "The Hero"]] and it can almost seem she's grooming Anais to be just like her too.
** This one is almost subverted, when she makes any physical threat, at least to members of her family, she always stob and apologizes them. The times she is hard trying to teach the childs something, it is only because she was raised by a similar form, and probably she doesn't know another form. She can trick his family sometimes, and the rest of the Wattersons also, it is a standard behavior in her family.
* In "The Bus", [[spoiler:Rob made progress as a genuine threat to Gumball and the others. Just how much he can be even a bigger threat? We may find out in "The Disaster".]]
** [[spoiler:It gets pretty bad.]]
** [[spoiler:And now the world isn't even TRYING to suck him back into the void... Which means that it considers Rob important enough to keep around. And if Gumball hadn't given him the idea to BE their nemesis in the first place, he might not have been around anymore. I don't know which is scarier, the fact that if you won't actively try to ruin someone's life, you'll end up having yours taken away, or that it will happen AGAIN, OR that once you manage to accomplish it you will have outlived your usefulness.]]

* "The Joy's [[NightmareFuel status]] is pretty well established but it can go further when you remember that all the episodes are apparently canon even after the credits reset. [[spoiler:Which means that Alan experienced the whole thing first hand and and as of "The Vision" still thinks [[HappinessIsMandatory it's]] a good idea to implement.]]
* In "The Signal" [[spoiler:whatever was the entity with [[ItCanThink seemingly malicious intent]] that was screwing with the TV signal was never really resolved. It apparently wasn't Rob since he generally takes credit for his schemes and only seemed to stop or have been stopped when [[FourthWallObserver Gumball and Darwin found out about what it was]].]]
* In "The Rival", [[EnfantTerrible Baby Anais]] repeatedly tries to outright [[SiblingMurder kill Gumball and Darwin]]. At the end [[spoiler:Baby Anais is about to push Gumball and Darwin into an incinerator, but blows it because of her [[BabyTalk baby-talk]].]] What would have happened if [[spoiler:she didn't say anything?]] Or even worse, what if [[spoiler:Mr. and Mrs. Watterson came to the dump at the exact moment when she pushed?]]

* In "The Parents" during Gumball's song, [[spoiler: Nicole's parents drive away from the Wattersons' household, but decide to stop the car, go back and make peace with Nicole. However, during the song, we see the car approach a crossroad, where a large lorry, with no intention of stopping, speeds across it. If they had decided not to make up with Nicole, '''''they would more than likely have been in a fatal car accident, having never reconciled with their daughter.''''']]
** The parents would have had to had blown the stop sign (or at least not look before they started forward again) for that to happen.
