History Trivia / TheAmazingWorldOFGumball

* CreatorsPest: Rachel Wilson, Tobias' sister. Her first and only major appearance was in "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E17TheParty The Party]]", while her last physical appearance was a cameo at the end of "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E32TheCurse The Curse]]". The creators have expressed their disdain for her before, and [[PutOnABusToHell she's never appeared in the show since then]]. Contrast the fandom, where Rachel is an EnsembleDarkhorse.

* FandomLifeCycle: The show historically peaked at stage 4, although it stayed at stages 1 or 2 throughout most of the world. It then reached stage 6a during the run of the final two seasons, and entered stage X a few years after the ending.

* FakeAmerican: Most of the cast besides the voice actors for Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are British, Scottish, or Irish voice actors doing UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents. Technically averted with Dan Russell[[note]]Richard, Mr. Fitzgerald, the Coach, Paperball, Pantsbully, shooting star, bandage doctor, Hank, jolly hamburger, Donut Cop, and Tina in the first season[[/note]], Adam Long[[note]]Mr. Small and Phil[[/note]], and Sandra Searles Dickinson[[note]]Granny Jojo, Mrs. Jotunheim, the pink cupcake lady, Alison, Felicity, Banana Barbara, Karen, and from Season 3 onwards, Joan Markham, the Band-Aid school nurse[[/note]], who are American actors based in the UK. Similarly, numerous characters are voiced by Kerry Shale[[note]]Bobert the robot, Hector the giant, Leslie the flower, Larry the rock-head clerk, Sal Left Thumb, Harold in Season 1-4 and 5 until “The Cycle”; Alan the balloon and Idaho the potato (sometimes) in the first season, and Mike the Microphone Guy[[/note]], who is Canadian and currently living in London.

* FanNickname:
** Penny (back when she was in her shell) and the rest of her family are often called "doe-nuts" because they're peanuts and she has antlers.
** Daniel Senicourt was sometimes called "Grandpa Gumbo", because he's, well, Gumball's grandpa.
** [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285630123518984203/467319983777775626/life_is_lovely_isnt_it.png The facial expression Gumball makes in "The Bros" and many episodes from Season 4 onwards]], of a grin (mostly faked or nervous) is many times called "The Face". It is used by other characters as well, but to a lesser extent.
** In September 2014, an user of the Gumball Wiki named the gray construction man George, and even though it was never stated to be his name, the name stuck among the fans and was used for years. The user who first made this fake name also made up names for other characters, like calling Penny's sister "Holly" (in the end, he was wrong by ''one letter''; her name is '''P'''olly), but the other made-up names didn't stick.

** Teresa Gallagher is a singer in real life. She gets to properly sing as Nicole in "The Compilation" and "The Fuss", as Penny in "The Love" and "The Compilation", and as Teri in "The Compilation" and "The Singing".

** The character Teri (the hypochondriac paper cutout bear) is played by Teresa Gallagher. Given Teri is a supporting character and Gallagher also voices one of the main cast, this was probably a coincidence.

** Teresa Gallagher voices Nicole, Penny, Mrs. Robinson, Jackie, Teri, Polly, Siciliana Pepperoni (in Season 2-3), Joan Markham (in Season 2), Carmen ([[TheOtherDarrin in Season 1]]), among others, and each one of them has their own unique voice.

*** A few others changed voice actor despite their original voice actor still playing other characters: Alan the balloon and Idaho the potato went from both being voiced by Kerry Shale to both being voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison; Carmen the cactus went from being voiced by Teresa Gallagher to being voiced by Alix Wilton Regan; Tina Rex went from being voiced by Dan Russell to being voiced by Stefan Ashton Frank.

** After the series premiered to high ratings and very positive reviews, Cartoon Network has been giving a lot of attention to the show. In fact, it seems to get as much attention as Cartoon Network's other CashCowFranchise, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and receive [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball its own page as well.]]

** "The Lady" is skipped over in Russia and Bulgaria (most likely because of the references to infidelity, cross-dressing, and drug trips), even though the brief scene in "The Anybody" showing that Clayton once disguised himself as the mall fountain was shown in the Russian and Bulgarian version of that episode.

* LostInTranslation: Ocho's surname "Tootmorsel" wasn't translated in some languages, so the "toot" joke was lost and it seemed Gumball was laughing simply for it being a weird surname.

** In September 2014, an user of the Gumball Wiki named the gray construction man George back in September 2014, and, even though it was never stated to be his name, the name stuck among the fans and was used for years. The user who first made this fake name also made up names for other characters, like calling Penny's sister "Holly" (in the end, he was wrong by ''one letter''; her name is '''P'''olly), but the other made-up names didn't stick.

* {{Jossed}}: "The Shell" revealed that Penny is actually a shapeshifting fairy. This pretty much blew away the popular fan theory that, because of her antlers, she was a deer under her shell.

** In Czech dub by Czech Television, the actors who voiced Gumball (Aleš Háma) and Darwin (Marek Holý) were 41 (in words: forty one) and 35 (thirty five), respectively during the time the dubbing was made (2014). In CN's dub they were voiced instead by Pavel Tesař and Petr Gelnar, who began voicing the characters when they were fifty (!) and forty-four, respectively.
