- For those watching on-air, take a drink for each obviously-censored scene. As with any censorship drinking challenge, if you live in the Australian region, keep an ambulance on speed-dial
- Take a drink every time a character blinks but is not otherwise moving. This might kill you.
- Splash your face with your alcoholic beverage of choice if Gumball in a thong attempting to swim appears in the episode.

- Get a pack of your least favorite alcohol. Drink one sip of it every time Gumball gets dirty to emulate his disdain.
I Spy Mode:
