History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E25ThePoltergeist

* WeWantOurJerkBack: Gumball and Darwin eventually find out that the whole reason Mr. Robinson hid himself in their attic is that he was depressed after his wife kicked him out since he was no longer a GrumpyOldMan and thus lost his "spark". Realizing this, Gumball and Darwin then try to make him look angry to impress Mrs. Robinson, only for her to immediately see through it and strut off. Feeling more dejected than ever, he tries to cover himself in a bedsheet which makes Richard mistake him for a ghost and attack him. After getting hit by both Gumball and Richard in the process, he [[RageBreakingPoint he snaps]] and gets his anger back, winning Mrs. Robinson's love back and saving his marraige.

* RageBreakingPoint: After getting beaten repeatedly by Gumball and Richard, Mr. Robinson finally snaps and tries to break their stuff, earning back his wife favor.

* BridalCarry: Mr. Robinson makes up with his wife, then dramatic asks her to carry ''him'' inside this way, and she happily complies.

* HypocriticalHumor: Richard is offended that Mr. Robinson called him out on his cheap tie and idiocy and adds that, unlike Mr. Robinson, he treats his wife better... not realizing that Nicole is trying to free herself from one rope trap and ends up stuck in another.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Nicole insists ghosts aren't real, despite living in a WorldOfWeirdness where a ghost is one of her sons' classmates (and the fact that later episodes, such as "Halloween", "The Flower", "The Extras", "The Question", and "The Mirror" show that ghosts do, in fact, exist in Elmore).

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Versions shown in Cartoon Network Asia, Australia, and New Zealand all have similar edits done to this episode:

* VandalismBackfire: Played with when Mr. Robinson tries to destroy the Watterson's stuff, like their shed, deck chair, and vacuum. It back fires because he's simply ''too weak'' to damage any of them, and gets his leg stuck in the deck chair.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Nicole insists ghosts aren't real, despite living in a WorldOfWeirdness where a ghost is one of her sons' classmates.

* HypocriticalHumor: Richard is offended that Mr. Robinson called him out on his cheap tie and idiocy and adds that, unlike Mr. Robinson, he treats his wife better... not realizing that Nicole is still stuck in his rope trap.

* MagicSkirt: Nicole spends a good part of the episode hanging upside down in one of the traps Richard has set for "the ghost". Her gray pleated skirt doesn't move an inch.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Anais sees Gumball had been keeping Mr. Robinson in the attic, immediately decides she wants nothing to do with it, and leaves.

-->'''Mr. Robinson:''' Ahhh, Margaret and I used to argue like that. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Sometimes up to six times a day. From first thing in the morning until last thing at night. In the kitchen, in the backyard, in the car. Occasionally, we'd do it in public. Once, even while we were sleeping.]]
