History YMMV / TheAmazingWorldOfGumball

* KarmaHoudini: Richard, in-universe.
-->'''Nicole:''' That wasn't very nice. You two should know better.
-->'''Gumball:''' You didn't tell ''him'' off for pranking ''us''!
-->'''Nicole:''' [{{Beat}}] You know it's too late for your father.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In "The Mystery" [[spoiler: Miss Simian makes the transition from simple SadistTeacher to TyrantTakesTheHelm when she destroys evidence that implicates her and tries to have Gumball unjustly expelled.]] Another episode reveals that she was a complete JerkAss to Nicole for no reason and she pretends to be friends to Gumball and Darwin just to get an award.

** Gumball's mom, Nicole, garnered a lot of fans after her reaction in "The DVD". Then there's her large... [[FetishFuel other]] [[FurryFandom following]].
** Rachel, whom only had one major role and is likely not appearing in another afterwards, has gained quite a bit of fan art and fan fiction; usually relating to her relationship with Darwin.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop

* HoYay: In "Responsible", Darwin keeps Gumball from drowning by breathing into his mouth via kiss, similarly to the two love interests in ''{{Waterworld}}''.
** Though, in Gumball's defense, he was visibly against it.

** Darwin falls in love with Gumball when he wears a wedding dress in "The Dress".
*** To the point where he is actually stalking him, collecting sweat and generally being a StalkerWithACrush. This culminates in [[spoiler: Darwin (rather adorably) confessing his love on a roller coaster.]]
*** [[spoiler: This is ''without'' mentioning the whole "I want more kids!" sequence.]]

** "The Prank" takes it up just as much as well, as Darwin calms Gumball's hyperventilating by patting his head, then uses his fins to rub around his head, then kissing him on the cheek.
** In "The Robot", there's also Gumball and Darwin demonstrating the concept of emotions to Bobert. But everything is legit and cool because Darwin is [[NotBloodSiblings adopted]] so that makes it not as odd... I guess.
** In "The Goons", Larry accidentally proposes to Richard [[ItMakesSenseInContext (He was talking to his girlfriend when Richard picked him up in a 'dumb race')]] and Richard tells him that 'This is so sudden' and 'I'm not saying no, I'm not saying no'. Cut to a montage as Richard wanders around the park in thought.
* JerkassWoobie: Tina certainly counts as one after "The Quest."
** Also Carrie after "The Ghost."
* KarmaHoudini: Darwin and Gumball completely ruin Larry's life, making him lose his job, his car, and his girlfriend (who he was going to propose to that night). And they get very little comeuppance.
** Well they were forced to do all the chores in the house after Richard tricked them.
** Larry got better too, as seen in "The Ghost".
** Richard, in-universe.

* MemeticMutation: NO! IT'S NOT!
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "The Mystery" [[spoiler: Miss Simian makes the transition from simple SadistTeacher to TheUmbridge when she destroys evidence that implicates her and tries to have Gumball unjustly expelled.]]
** Luckily, karma really gets her in the end of the episode.
** A recent episode reveals that she was a complete JerkAss to Nicole for no reason and she pretends to be friends to Gumball and Darwin just to get an award.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Quite a few female characters lack any TertiarySexualCharacteristics, making it ''very'' hard to tell on a first glance.

** The most prominent male example of this is Leslie. [[http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n147/The_Huntsman/Cartoons/Leslie.png Just look]]. Would you believe that's a guy!?!
*** And just to add to the confusion, Leslie's in Masami's treehouse with the girls in "The Pressure".
*** Perhaps the confusion is InUniverse as well?
**** [[FridgeBrilliance Most plants have both male and female reproductive organs.]]
* TheWoobie: Gumball and Darwin can be this at times.

* FetishFuel: Nicole. She's an [[FurryFandom anthropomorphic]] [[CatGirl cat]] with a really big butt who also wears a [[MagicSkirt short skirt]]. The Nicole FanArt is probably going to be... [[RuleThirtyFour interesting]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Mr.Robinsons performance at the end of ''The Debt''.

* FetishFuel: Nicole. She's an [[FurryFandom anthropomorphic]] [[CatGirl cat]] with a [[BabyGotBack really big butt]] who also wears a [[MagicSkirt short skirt]]. The Nicole FanArt is probably going to be... [[RuleThirtyFour interesting]].

* MoralEventHorizon: In "The Mystery" [[spoiler: Miss Simian makes the transition from simple SadistTeacher to TheUmbridge when she destroys evidence that implicates her and tries to have Gumball unjustly expelled.]]
** Luckily, karma really gets her in the end of the episode. (although I think MEH is rather harsh.)

** Luckily, karma really gets her in the end of the episode.

** In "The Robot", there's also Gumball and Darwin demonstrating the concept of emotions to Bobert.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: According to the end of "The DVD," sometimes you have to face the consequences of your actions and sometimes you just [[RunForTheBorder RUN]]!

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Even before her debut in ''The Ghost'', Carrie has always had quite a large fanbase.
** Gumball's mom, Nicole, garnered a lot of fans after her reaction in ''The DVD''. Then there's her large... [[FetishFuel other]] [[FurryFandom following]].

* TearJerker: Darwin in "The Third", realizing he's almost lost his best friend by being too focused on Tobias.
** Gumball near the end of 'The Gi', realizing that everyone has been making fun of him the whole time, he starts crying.
** "The Robot" has Gumball crying and trying to sleep in his backyard after Bobert, who assumes his identity, has won over his family.

** Rachel, whom despite only having a single major role and probably not going to return, has gained quite a bit of fan art and fan fiction; usually relating to her relationship with Darwin.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Mr.Robinsons performance at the end of "The Debt."
** She's a lady, a fair lady!

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Even before "The Ghost", Carrie has always had quite a large fanbase.
** Gumball's mom garnered a lot of fans after her reaction in "The DVD."

* NightmareFuel: '''[[TyrannosaurusRex Tina]]'''.
** Another example can be found in "The Kiss" with Anais' rage face.
** When Mr. Robinson gets crushed by the platform in "The Debt". Of course he was fine, but still, it's pretty disturbing to see someone just get flattened like that...
** Bobert's KillAndReplace attitude toward Gumball in "The Robot".
** Half the stuff Gumball and Darwin encounter when they get lost in the forest.
** "I'm gonna PRANK YOU!!!"

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: When Carrie possess someone it turns them into a snarling, zombie-like version of themself.
** Another example in "The Prank" when Richard [[spoiler: pretends to]] snap, nearly crushing Gumball and Darwin with a bucket full of solidified cement and then chasing them through the house giggling like a lunatic, up to and including smashing through the ''walls'' and ''ceiling''.
*** That psychotic SlasherSmile he makes after they are almost crushed is damn terrifying.
** The premise of "The Genius", in which the government takes Darwin away for testing, apparently including '''dissection''', simply for being too smart.

** Another example can be found in "The Kiss" with Anais' rage face. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpa4UGCwshc As seen here]].
