History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E1TheKids

* BaffledByOwnBiology: Gumball and Darwin start undergoing puberty when their voices start cracking -- which results in them going so BassoProfundo that the world around them shakes from the bass and [[NoIndoorVoice uncontrollable volume]]. This leads to further confusion and hijinks. When asked what is happening to them, the doctor can't help but giggle at the situation because they don't know what it means that their voices are breaking.

* ComplimentFishing: Richard asks Darwin and Gumball to guess his ages, but they keep making ridiculous overestimates ("[[HistoricalLongevityJoke Was it B.C. or A.D.?]]") until Richard storms off.

-->'' Now listen to me. I have a very specific set of skills. Skills I've acquired over a very long career. [[MundaneMadeAwesome In real estate.]] If you never call by daughter again, that... will be the end of it. But if you do, I will look for you. I will find you. And I will build a house around you. With no doors.''

* VocalDissoance: Literally. In this episode, Gumball and Darwin sound like teens, and when they don't, like actual men.

* ThemeTuneCameo: The chorus to "Make the Most of It" has a remix of the show's opening theme song.

This episode is the last one for Logan Grove and Kwesi Boakye (the voice actors of Gumball and Darwin from seasons one and two) and the first one for Jacob Hopkins and Terrell Ransom, Jr. (the [[TheOtherDarrin replacement voices]] for Gumball and Darwin).

* ComicBookTime: Hilariously referenced when Gumball and Darwin go to althea bandage doctor about their changing voices. He says that only 1% of the world doesn't age, usually people on television.

* RuleOfThree: Three different times we get a scene of Darwin and Gumball walking along while they're depressing with Gumball kicking several objects, the last of which causes something bad (a soda can that sprayed on him, a little girl he punts across the street, and a dodgeball that bounces back in his face).

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Cartoon Network Arabia's version edits the "Make the Most of It" musical number to ribbons.

-->'''Nicole:''' What did you say to your father?\\
'''Gumball:''' It's not our fault! It was a trap!\\
'''Nicole:''' Ooh, was he fishing for compliments again?\\
'''Gumball:''' Yeah. And some reality got caught in the net.

* DownerEnding: Gumball and Darwin [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor get their wish]] to never grow up, [[YankTheDogsChain just as they come to terms with growing up and began to anticipate it]].

* GrowingUpSucks: The plot of episode, when Gumball and Darwin find out their voices are changing (which coincides with the fact that Gumball and Darwin's voice actors have been recast since the original ones hit puberty and don't sound like little kids anymore). They then find out they're not aging, and it turns into NotGrowingUpSucks.

'''Gumball:''' It's hard to say. I guess that's the good thing about being fat: it fills out all the wrinkles.

** When getting on the bus, the driver, assuming from their "manly warrior voices" that they're adults pretending to be kids for cheaper bus fair, refuses them service. The passengers all pelt them with trash.

** [[MusicalisInterruptus The musical number ends]] when both's voices drop so low that Billy and his mom think they're "short men" "believing that they're still young and cool".

** Right as Gumball and Darwin's voices break even with their new voice actors, the screen look as if it's [[OminousVisualGlitch glitching out]] [[AGlitchInTheMatrix from someone altering reality]]: everything warps, Darwin and Gumball's silhouettes are replaced with a distinct static-like pattern, the whole screen flashes negative briefly, comes back, and everything returns to normal. A set of swings in the background can be seen fixing itself.

** Richard successfully shaves his face with a ''hatchet''.
