The Wattersons have to stop doing stupid things in order to prevent Anais from falling into a coma from facepalming too much.
Tropes:
- A Child Shall Lead Them: Played for laughs, as Nicole makes a complaint about a teenage grocery store clerk to his supervisor, who turns out to be a preschooler who can't remember the whole alphabet. She tries to go further up the chain of command, and the ones there keep getting younger: the store manager is a baby, the CEO is a pregnant woman's unborn child, and his shareholders are implied to be the sperm in a man's testicles.
- All Just a Dream: The whole episode turns out to be just a comatose dream after Anais facepalmed one time too many (when Gumball said that a week was nine days).
- And I Must Scream: Even though most of the events of the episode were All Just a Dream, imagine what Anais must've been going through when she was barely conscious while unintentionally putting herself in harm's way. And that's not even describing what would happen if she kept inadvertently lobotomizing herself.
- Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: Anais is not supposed to be exposed to stupid stuff, but no matter where they go, someone is acting stupid.
- Construction Zone Calamity: In the episode's climax, Anais wanders into a construction site.
- Enraged by Idiocy: Nicole gets mad at Gumball, Darwin and Richard for being stupid.
- Face Palm: Anais' condition comes from doing it constantly as a reaction to the others' stupidity.
- Facecam: The near end of Anais' dream when she wanders through a construction site.
- Funny X-Ray: Shows a palm-shaped dent on Anais' skull.
- Grade-School C.E.O.: See A Child Shall Lead Them above
- Hypocritical Humor: Nicole agreed with Gumball's idea to get all the family's stupidity out so they don't do anything stupid in front of Anais, but then she got angry at him, Darwin, and Richard for doing stupid things.
- Literal-Minded:
- While Nicole and Anais were out of the house, the rest of family had put lunch in the oven... upside-down. When Nicole calls them on it, Darwin explains that the pack said to put it in the oven at 180 degrees.
- When Nicole says she wanted the house "bleached clean" by the time she and Anais came back, Richard literally bleached the entire house white.
- Never My Fault: The grocery store clerk refuses to accept a coupon Nicole has because it's a minute past expiration even though he wasted Nicole's time doing a Piss-Take Rap, and refuses to admit that it's his fault.
- Piss-Take Rap: The "Dill Pickle Rap".
- Pretentious Latin Motto: The Watterson family crest reads "Familia Hic Insere Sententia", which, as Nicole points out, translates to "Insert Family Motto Here".
- Shrunken Organ: The doctor shows a chart to illustrate how Anais' brain will shrink if her face-palming goes unchecked. Each brain size is named after a Watterson, with Nicole as the biggest and Richard as the lowest (which is well below amoeba and Off the Chart altogether).
- Spot the Thread: Anais starts to realize that she's still in the hospital after she notices things like a bird chirping like a heart monitor or giant pills on a truck.
- Who Even Needs a Brain?: Anais was been reduced to a walking vegetable throughout the episode due to her constant facepalming on account of her family's reckless actions.
- Wrong Restaurant: Richard mistakes the parking lot attendant booth for a drive-thru and orders a burger, makes the attendant give him his mints then paper hankies which the milk guy throws at him. Then Principal Brown in the car behind makes the same mistake.
