* LawfulStupid: Bobert falls into this when Gumball and Darwin order him to uphold the law, choosing to uphold ''very'' ridiculous laws by burning off Miss Simian's hair with a laser ("According to the law in New Mexico, females are forbidden to appear unshaven in public."), threatening an old man simply eating soup with an ArmCannon ("According to the law in New Jersey, it is illegal to slurp your soup."), continuing to do so when Gary screams in fear ("In North Carolina, it is illegal to sing off-key."), ripping off the orange security guard's beard ("In Massachusetts, goatees are illegal without a license."), and blowing up Billy's lollipop ("Lollipops are also banned.") When Gumball tries to stop him, Bobert tries to shoot him for "obstruction of justice," only to miss and blow up the roof, at which point Bobert starts shooting ''himself'' for destroying public property.
