History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS2E14TheBet

* CondescendingCompassion: What Gumball accuses Darwin of showing Bobert throughout the episode, [[JerkassHasAPoint sometimes with more merit than others.]]

* DescriptionCut: Gumball gets control over Bobert and talks with Darwin about all the good this could do. Scene change to Bobert shooting fire out of his butt and asking the school nurse if she can help him.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: One of the big points is Darwin arguing with Gumball is on treating Bobert, who has to do whatever Gumball says due to the conditions of the bet and Bobert's "Slave Mode." Darwin argues to not treat Bobert like this and trying to help him, even though Gumball would treat anyone else who lost the bet the same (which explains why Darwin was depeserate to not lose in the beginning of the episode). Gumball calls Darwin out on what he sees as patronizing behavior when Darwin tries to explain he shouldn't treat Bobert as such, but ends up reaizing what it ends sounding like. Darwin does later point out that Bobert doesn't have the same limits as others. All of this brings into mind people debating how to treat children with special needs.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A subtle but clever example. Bobert lost the bet to Gumball due to how he interpreted Gumball's challenge, showing he has trouble in interpreting sayings regarding their meaning. It kicks in when Gumball and Darwin discover that Bobert interpreted Gumball's mutters on the staff as literal orders (see RhetoricalRequestBlunder below for more details.)

* JerkassHasAPoint: Gumball may be seen as kinda a Jerkass for how he's treating Bobert (though this is because of the bet and it's implied he'd do this to anyone else who loses in the game), but he is right in pointing out that Bobert probably wouldn't be happy to find he's in a relationship with Tina when switching out of slave mode. [[ItAmusedMe He goes along with Darwin's plan to hook them up because he thought it was a hilarious idea though.]]

* TheSlowWalk: Bobert always walks like this when trying to catch Gumball. Lampshaded when Darwin was trying to slow him down by hanging off him, lets go because his stomach was chaffing from dragging across the ground, and is relieved that Bobert is going any faster.

* YourMom: As a jet of flame is coming out of Bobert's rear end.

* Foreshadowing: A subtle but clever example. Bobert lost the bet to Gumball due to how he interpreted Gumball's challenge, showing he has trouble in interpreting sayings regarding their meaning. It kicks in when Gumball and Darwin discover that Bobert interpreted Gumball's mutters on the staff as literal orders (see RhetoricalRequestBlunder below for more details.)

* InsaneTrollLogic: Gumball argues that Principal Brown lambasting them for using Bobert to mess with the nurse is a violation of the First Amendment. Brown is quick to point out otherwise.

'''Bobert:''' Ever since I fell in love with your mom.

'''Darwin:''' No!\\

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: One of the big points is Darwin arguing with Gumball about how to treat Bobert when he lost a bet. Darwin argues for treating Bobert nicely, even though Gumball would treat anyone else who lost a bet just as badly. Gumball calls this out for making Bobert seem like a charity case, but Darwin counters that Bobert responds in ways no one else would. All of this brings into mind people debating how to treat children with special needs.
-->'''Darwin:''' This is no way to treat a, uh... \\

* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: The nurse doesn't like having to patch up Bobert, because he's a robot.

* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: Gumball orders Bobert to stop following order just before finding out he'd ''already'' ordered Bobert to kill him.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Versions of this episode shown in Cartoon Network Asia and Australia edit the part where Gumball tries to trick Bobert into blasting the frozen chicken dressed in his sweater either by removing the entire part of a shirtless Gumball in the walk-in freezer, only to run out screaming when Miss Simian tries to cozy up to him for warmth or editing it to remove the part where Miss Simian cries out, "Wait! I'm so cold!" and gets set on fire by Bobert's laser.

* ForInconveniencePressOne: Gumball thinks he's been sent to a machine when he calls tech support about Bobert, but [[UnroboticReveal it's actually a person]] that sounds like he's speaking in MadLibsDialogue.
-->'''Voice on phone:''' [[AC:No need to be rude sir. If you did this job all day, you too would end up talking like a machine.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: One of the big points is Darwin arguing with Gumball about how he (Gumball) is treating Bobert (though as Gumball points out, he'd make Darwin do similar things had he lost their game, explaining why Darwin kept escalating in terms of double, triple, etc or nothing in the beginning). Darwin argues for treating Bobert nicely, which Gumball calls out for making him seem like a charity case, bring into mind people debating how to treat children with special needs.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Darwin and Gumball's argument over the course of the episode on whether to treat Bobert like they treat each other (in this case, terribly, because he lost a bet) calls to mind people debating how to treat special needs children.

* WagerSlave: Both Darwin and Bobert lose a bet to Gumball to make do whatever he says for 24 hours. In Bobert's case, he literally switches into a "slave mode" for 24 hours where he does whatever Gumball tells him without question.

-->'''Bobert:''' [[AC:[[RoboSpeak Recomputing question. Trick detected. Failure acknowledge.]]]]

* FakingTheDead: Bobert is trying to kill Gumball, so he puts his shirt on a roast chicken and Darwin pretends it's him while he hides. Gumball ends up exposing himself before we could see if it worked.

* BuildingSwing: Gumball momentarily escapes from Bobert in the nurse's office by grabbing a hose, [[SuperWindowJump jumping out the window]], and swinging down through the window on floor down.

* SkewedPriorities: Bobert is trying to laser Gumball to death and knocks him away from a phone, which Gumball goes back to for his change.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Gumball informs Darwin that he'll be getting out of there without him due to Bobert activating his self-destruct and Darwin is trapped. After Darwin complains he changes his mind and stays to try and help him.
* RhetoricalRequestBlunder: Every comment Gumball makes about anyone who slights him gets interpreted by Bobert as an order to attack.
* SwallowedWhole: The episode opens with Darwin inside of Gumball's mouth. Apparently Darwin bet he couldn't do it.

Bobert loses a bet to Gumball and has to do whatever he says for a day, but Bobert ends up incapacitating the teachers and taking his revenge on Gumball and Darwin.

* CouldntFindAPen: In response to being assigned to mow the field, Gumball has Bobert burn the image of "glasses + horse butt = Principal Brown" into the grass.

* LogicBomb: Gumball tells Bobert (who is a robot) to divide by zero, resulting Bobert having a massive computerized freak-out.

'''Ms. Simian''': (standing in front of Leslie, Masami, and Sussie) Well, I'm not a florist, or a meteorologist, or some kind of freak-show owner--''but you don't see me, complaining, do you?''
