History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E37TheDowner

* RewatchBonus: Gumball's attempt at causing DisasterDominos initially looks like it was an EpicFail after the vase bounced back for no reason. On rewatch however, it's easy to see that Nicole more than likely caught the vase and tried to reverse the dominos, but accidentally hit Gumball with the lamp in the process, Gumball not realizing it due to [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness being in a bad mood]].

'''Gumball''': Ah, what do ya know? Good job, legs!

* TalkingToThemself: After realizing everyone in town is gone, Gumball's gets in an argument with himself over whether or not that's a good thing right before the black cloud comes in.

What? That's not true. I love rainbows. What's going on?

* ChekhovsLecture: Richard gives advice on being in a bad mood before he "disappears" ([[StepfordSmiler pretend that you're happy]] [[BecomingTheMask until you actually are]]), and Gumball uses it to escape his bad mood at the end.

-->'''Gumball:''' What the what?! This is the first time that TV hasn't given me the answer--or at least [[BreadAndCircuses distracted me from the question]].

* BottleEpisode: The vast majority of the episode doesn't feature any character except Gumball (though the beginning and end show his family and some ancillary characters like Alan and Banana Bob are seen in the flashbacks showing that Gumball imagining everyone gone and his bad mood coming to life was really Gumball acting crazy and blinded by his bad mood) and only has him appear in the house for most of the episode and outside for some of it.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: In Cartoon Network Latin America, the shot of the TV showing the hideously [=Photoshopped=] woman in a shampoo commercial (the one meant to be a TakeThat against models being [=Photoshopped=] in order to portray an unattainable beauty standard that some women try and fail to achieve themselves) was replaced with a frozen shot of Gumball looking mad before Gumball chucks the remote control at the TV. Also cut was the scene of Gumball groping Richard's chest in the flashbacks of how everything that happened was just Gumball being in such a bad mood that he imagined everyone being gone and the bad mood cloud blacking out and consuming everything.

* EpicFail: Trying to set off some DisasterDominoes, Gumball knocks a few things over but they then bounce back upright except the thing he knocked out, which bounces back onto him. [[spoiler:Subverted when we learn that his mind was actually ignoring everyone around him. So is likely his mother stopped the dominoes before they became disastrous.]]

* YourTelevisionHatesYou: Gumball tries to watch TV to cheer up, but finds a newscast about a poisonous lake, a nature documentary showing a rare frog getting killed, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a shampoo commercial where the model gloats about how digital enhancement makes her (and other models) beautiful in a way that's impossible to achieve in real life.]]
