* EvilIsNotWellLit: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] Halfway through, an infected Bobert hugs and shorts out the school's power grid, shutting off the fluorescent lights with only the [[DaylightHorror blinding sunshine from the bright sunny day outside]] acting as the lighting. It's surprising how well it goes with the theme of the story.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Everybody Simian tries to warn scoffs at the idea of a virus that causes joy, despite living in a world with dinosaurs, ghosts, anthropomorphic objects, robots, giants, and a void where mistakes go.



* SkewedPriorities: When it appears Gumball and Darwin ''died'' on the hospital bed, [[KickTheDog all Miss Simian can think about is that this proved her right]].

* UndeathIsCheap: Playing sad music ("Moonlight Sonata" specifically) causes the joy zombies to recoil, and Miss Simian assumes it will turn them back, but she's turned before she can play it to the school--or even explain in her video which song to use. [[SnapBack Everything is back to normal next episode]], so they have turned back anyway.

* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: A "wonder hug" from Richard, filled with all of the love and happiness in the world, makes a rainbow explosion and causes Gumball and Darwin uncontrollably happy even when they have no reason to be. Miss Simian treats it like a disease, but the nurse and principal think she's just insane. It's [[OurZombiesAreDifferent quite a]] [[TheVirus bit more]] than just a disease.
