When Gumball points out Mr. Small's hypocrisy, he decides to abandon society and live in the woods.
Tropes:
- Actual Pacifist: Deconstructed; Mr. Small finds out it is impossible to never harm another living thing if you take into account that you still need paper money, plastic debit cards, microbes in water and gas for your van to do your grocery shopping.
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Mr. Small talks about the Elmore stink ape. It appears for real at the end of the episode.
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: Mr. Small describes the Stink Ape's odor as "reminiscent of a skunk, or rotting flesh, or rotting skunk flesh."
- A Day in the Limelight: For Mr. Small.
- Death Trap: Mr. Small had set up traps all over the woods. When the stink ape appears, it falls into a pit, which Small warns that it's one of his more clever traps. At first, Gumball and Darwin think it can just climb back up, but then spears drop from above, followed by a giant boulder.
- Dissonant Serenity: After thinking they might be too late to save Mr. Small, Gumball says in a cheery voice while smiling that they can identify his body.
- Double-Meaning Title: The episode either refers to Mr. Small’s (albeit, mostly unintentional) hypocrisy or the mysterious Stink Ape that Small alludes to and what Gumball and Darwin think they encounter in the woods.
- Eye-Dentity Giveaway: The eyes of the "stink ape" that follows Gumball and Darwin just so happens to have yellow sclera and red irises...
- Fertile Feet: Fluorescent fungi grow around the stink ape's feet with each step.
- Greed: When Mr. Small asks if he'll pay extra for the warm feeling in his heart, Larry dryly says yes, and when Small pays, Larry refuses to give him his cashback.
- Nature Is Not Nice: As Mr. Small enters the woods, he quickly finds out that nature is not as peaceful as he once thought. He's attacked by squirrels, almost bled dry by leeches, and even the butterflies try to feed him to a giant leech.
- Recycled Animation: When Mr. Small talks about recycling, a scene from "The Sock" with Mr. Small talking is reused, but voiced over with another dialogue not present in the original episode. After he's done talking, Mr. Small makes the same pose he had in that scene.
- Sigil Spam: Upon closer inspection, the Chanax name is hidden all over Tea and Stuff.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: Gumball simply asks "Hey, haven't we been in here before?", which prompts Larry to assure them that Tea & Stuff is not connected with Organic & Stuff, and that neither is an affiliate or subsidiary of Chanax Incorporated.
- Title Drop: Gumball says he smells "the stink of hypocrisy" in regards to Mr. Small when trying to brush him off.
