-->'''Gumball:''' ''*speaking with a VoiceOfTheLegion due to his eyes being replaced by tiny mouths*'' This is horrific, isn't it?\\

* ''The Others''

* "The Signature"

* ''The Sale''

* "The Gift"

* ''The Parking''

* ''The Romantic''

* ''The Uploads''

-->'''Gumball:''' [[BrainBleach I'll need to bleach my eyeballs after that.]]

** Jamie chasing Gumball through the hallways trying to be romantic. Think a [=PepeLePew=] cartoon played for horror[[note]]and not just because of ValuesDissonance[[/note]] or the climax of the ''Haunting Hour'' episode "Terrible Love"[[note]]the one where a lonely teen girl uses Cupid's arrows to make a boy in her class fall for her, only to learn that if someone gets hit twice with Cupid's arrow, then they go insane with love[[/note]] if it was scarier.

---> '''Daisy:''' ''That was '''my''' dream.''

-->'''Tobias:''' You look like a cat, but not enough.

---> Make me a cake and fill it with brisket.\\

** The episode is pretty much ''Film/{{Gremlins}}'' (the first one) with a mix of ''Aliens'' with the revelation that the Evil Turtle is a mother and was pregnant the whole time, her babies have been kidnapping residents and trapping them under the Watterson house, and then the eggs hatch and begin attacking everyone in town...[[NightmareRetardant though there are some darkly humorous moments]], like Harold jogging through the chaos before he gets attacked, the green goblin CEO of Chanax getting bit in the crotch, and the microphone head news anchor's report of the turtles attacking people so they can take their jobs.

* "The Petals" is this in spades. Due to wilting, Leslie's face starts becoming more and more grotesque as the episode continues, to the point where his cheeks straight up disappear and you can see into his mouth. Towards the end, Leslie flees from Gumball and Darwin [[SlasherSmile who are chasing him with very unnerving smiles whilst carrying shears]], and tries to find help. Each person he tries to get help from fails, but the scariest moment of the episode goes to '''Margaret Robinson''' for making [[https://rain-on-serena.tumblr.com/post/640362509425049600/okay-tawog-what-the-fuck-is-this this face]] when Leslie tries to get her help.

** The town of Elmore is plagued by satellite TV interruptions that cause the town itself to glitch. What's worse is that no one notices or cares and when Gumball and Darwin finally do notice (after Darwin thinks Gumball has a bizarre case of stuttering that makes him insult him) and wonder why Elmore is being affected, the scene jumps to the end where Richard happily tells the family that Gumball and Darwin are friends again and that everything is back to normal (you can feel just how artificial that happy ending is)...and Gumball and Darwin mirthlessly laugh along, unsure of what just transpired. Even worse: they're laughing nervously because right as the scene changed they [[NoticingTheFourthWall realized Elmore isn't real and that their lives may be part of a TV show]] and the interruptions attempted to make them forget everything, like when the Dimension of the World's Mistakes took away the tinfoil hats Gumball, Darwin, and Mr. Small had on in "The Void", only here, Gumball and Darwin act like they still remember what happened rather than conveniently forget it. Simply put, the entire episode plays out like something you'd see during Creator/AdultSwim's WesternAnimation/Off the Air segments (home to a lot of unsettling and jarring non sequitur programming).

'''[[SurpriseCreepy You did it wrong with that first cake]]'''!''

** The song from "The Schooling" puts the "Creepy" in SurpriseCreepy. This is especially true of the implications.

** And that's not even getting into how the the entire universe is sentient and can remove whatever it deems a "mistake" and banish it to [[EldritchLocation the Void]] forever.

* [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Anton, the toast kid, always ends up getting eaten by birds or similar creatures.]] ''It's his body''. Now imagine it happening to yours. Possibly worse is something when we find out just how he "survives" all of this.

* The [[StuffBlowingUp school exploding]] at the end "The Candidate", due to [[NoOSHACompliance lack of maintenance of the boiler]] [[DownerEnding counts too]]; Espically since the [[AdultsAreUseless Adults are Useless]] trope gets taken to exaggrated degrees. Only [[NooneCouldSurviveThat Gumball, Anais, and Darwin are shown to be perfectly fine from the explosion]], it's unknown if any one else did. Even if so, they should all be at the hospital.
-->'''Darwin:''' [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot Told you we should've took care of that overheating problem]].
