* StrawmanHasAPoint: While this whole episode happened because Gumball was looking for an excuse not to do his homework, he is right about Bobert's literal-mindedness being danger to everyone, especially since he nearly sawed off Darwin's arm because of it.
** Even his rant about homework being useless isn't far off from legitimate complaints people have with the concept of homework.

* YourHeadASplode: When Gumball wishes he could just "skip the whole hassle of life", Bobert takes it too far and decides to terminate his life by shooting a laser at his head causing it to blow up. It then suddenly regrows a second later.

* SuperficialSuggestionBox: Gumball wants to complain to Miss Simian about the concept of homework, so she suggests he put it in the suggestion box. There's a suggestion box next to the classroom door that drops Gumball's suggestion right into a paper shredder. Gumball follows up by saying he wants to file a complaint, to which Miss Simian says to go to the Complaint Box. Cue a shot of a mail box in the middle of a desert wasteland, with the bones of a student still gripping a letter sticking out of the mailbox lid.

When Gumball tries to stop him, Bobert tries to shoot him for "obstruction of justice," only to miss and blow up the roof, at which point Bobert starts shooting ''himself'' for destroying public property.

Darwin and Gumball give Bobert safety instructions, but his interpretations of them don't work out. He misinterprets Gumball's command of protecting the world to destroying the single factor that is harming the world: mankind.
