History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E21TheBurden

** The GoodTimesMontage of Gumball and Darwin having fun with Chris Morris (actually Principal Brown's body hair) was cut to remove the scene of Gumball, Darwin, and "Chris Morris" enjoying a bath and all the live-action shots of body hair to remind viewers that the duo don't have an actual hamster (the removal of the latter pretty much kills the joke).

** Gumball uses one of his claws to cut a hole in a window, and has Darwin suck on it to remove it. [[ByWallThatIsHoley Then the wall surrounding the hole falls around them.]]

* CringeComedy: Gumball and Darwin having to witness Principal Brown wax himself and him having GRatedSex with Miss Simian after she burst in and yells, "Romance, now!"

* OutrunTheFireball: After Chris Morris [[MacGyvering turns a lamp and Bunsen burner into an explosive trap]], Gumball and Darwin are forces to outrun the explosion. [[SubvertedTrope They dramatically jump too soon, then the wall of flames engulfs them.]]

* LowSpeedChase: Chris Morris is so slow that when Darwin and Gumball try to chase him, they keep running past him until they trying going "90s internet slow"

* {{Foreshadowing}}/RewatchBonus: Gumball shows Penny how he's really marriage material by showing his care for "Chris" while Darwin starts to show unusual feelings about Gumball being with Penny more than with him. Both are things would become highly relevant to the plot of [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E22TheBros the next episode.]]

* BigNo: Gumball yells out several "nos" of increasing length as he realizes the hamster he'd been kissing was a lump of wax and body hair.

* BehindTheBlack: Principal Brown was not alone in his office when he gave himself that wax job. Lampshaded when Principal Brown asks Gumball and Darwin how long they've been standing there ("Long enough for curiosity to turn into regret," is Gumball's answer).

* {{Blipvert}}: A montage of Gumball and Darwin happily playing with the hair lump is interspersed with brief shots of Principal Brown pulling off the hair then live-action footage of body hair, all of which interrupts the music.

* ContinuityNod: This episode is sort of a bridge between [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E20TheShell "The Shell"]] and [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E22TheBros "The Bros"]]. Gumball's first outing with [[MistakenForDog "Chris Morris"]] is going on a date with [[LateArrivalSpoiler a shell-less Penny]] while Darwin's first outing with "Chris" is mainly using the little ball of hair as a way to [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry verbally express his buried feelings]] about spiraling into a FriendVersusLover situation with Gumball.

* BrainBleach: Gumball says he might try bleaching his eyeballs after seeing Mr. Brown's (briefly) waxed body. Darwin and him trying to repress that memory seems to have backfired, being part of the reason it took so long to realize the "hamster" they'd been taking care of was the lump of hair Brown threw on the floor.
* CompanionCube: The lump of Chris Morris' hair which Gumball and Darwin mistake for the real Chris Morris.

* HairReboot: Mr. Brown tries to wax his body to impress Ms. Simian, but his hair grows back completely about a second later.

* MistakenForDog: Gumball, Darwin, and Penny all think the clump of Mr. Brown is a hamster, treating it like a pet and even talking to it extensively.

* TranslationYes: A single squeak from Chris Morris is first subtitled as "You kept me imprisoned for an eternity. But today, at the sunset of my life, I shall walk proud and free. To a new life of happiness and abundance and I shall see the daylight once more."--[[ExaggeratedTrope he's already walking away by the time half that was on screen]]. Later, a series of several indignant squeaks becomes "[[GoshDangitToHeck Forget you.]]"

* {{Foreshadowing}}/RewatchBonus: Gumball shows Penny how he's really marriage material by showing his care for "Chris" while Darwin starts to show unusual feelings about Gumball being with Penny more since they are dating than being with him. [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E22TheBros You can guess where does these have to do for the next episode after this.]]
