** He later states that Chanax pollutes, cuts down rainforests, and that their boss invented boy bands (though that last item could be a legitimate complaint as Rocky is established to be more of a rocker than a fan of boy band music).

* EvilInc: Chanax, Inc. feeds off the souls of their employees and one of their chair members is some sort of demon or goblin. Rocky, however, considers them a NecessaryEvil [[SkewedPriorities because they also invented cheese puffs]].

* FacePalm: The RuleOfThree is put onto this. After hearing Rocky whistle with his butt through the door, Gumball facepalms in frustration three times, with the final one getting his hand to go through his face.

Added DiffLines:

* MagicallyBindingContract: The CEO of Chanax has [[PeoplePuppets control over his employees]] through their contracts, and makes Rocky move to his pleasure at the climax. His mistake is not realizing that Gumball and Darwin aren't his employees, freeing them to rip up Rocky's contract, which not only destroy the CEO of Chanax but also frees all his other employees (at least, from his direct control, they're still basically enslaved by mundane means to the company).


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: The head of Chanax being a sinister, second face behind the front of an innocuous man is like Professor Quirrel and Lord Voldemort from Franchise/HarryPotter.

* YourSoulIsMine: Part of Rocky's employment contract was to breathe his "spirit" into a jar that the company keeps. Subverted when it turns out this didn't really do anything but create a jar full of air.

* Catch22Dilemma: Mr. Robinson refuses to accept a transplant from his son Rocky, because he is ashamed of him. When Rocky wins his dad's respect by getting a good job, he's too busy working to go through with the surgery.

* EndOfEpisodeSilliness: Darwin and Gumball managed to get Rocky to the hospital to give his father the stuffing transplant he needs. Then Mr. Robinson finds out Rocky quit his new job, the episode ends as his anger causes him to spill ALL of his stuffing, [[SnapBack and he's fine next time we see him]].

* BillyNeedsAnOrgan: Mr. Robinson needs a [[{{Muppet}} stuffing]] transplant from a blood relative, but won't accept it from his son because he thinks he's too much of a failure. But once he does get a "respectable" job, [[Catch22Dilemma he never has time for the surgery]].

After Mr. Robinson suffers a loss of stuffing ([[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which plays out like someone suffering a stroke]]) from a bad lawn, he needs a transplant from a relative. However, he refuses to let Rocky, his slacker son who works at Elmore Junior High, do it without getting a more respectable job. Gumball and Darwin get him one, but the office that hires Rocky is out to literally steal his soul.
