* BeingTheBrush: Mr. Small is openly contentious of formal painting, and so splashes Gumball and Darwin with paint they're to put to canvas with their bodies. He doesn't ''warn'' them of this, so they end up with paint in their eyes, and only "paint" by accident while flailing in pain.



* {{Bowdlerization}}: Versions of this episode shown on Cartoon Network channels in Asia and Australia cut the part where Mr. Small smashes the painting (or, as he calls it, a "relic of convention") and sets fire to it to teach Gumball and Darwin about letting their anger and energy out in more constructive ways.
