History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E2TheFan

The new kid at at Elmore Junior High, a sentient ice cream cone named Sarah G. Lato, reveals that she's Gumball and Darwin's number one fan -- but her fangirl ways begin creeping out the two.

** She has two pictures from "The Photo": one of the photo's Mr. Small tried to take (unlike Mr. Small, Sarah managed to take a good version) and one of Darwin and Gumball after Darwin's "surgery" to Gumball's face.

* ContinuityCavalcade: Sarah's video includes pictures she took of Darwin and Gumball during events of previous episode. Some of them are from before she transferred to Elmore Junior High and actually met them, implying ''she's been stalking them throughout seasons one and two'' (mostly two, though "The Date" is a season one episode):

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Several scene early on appear to have a LaughTrack which is actually being played by a recorder Sarah is hiding behind her back. She uses it throughout the episode to play sitcom music.
** Hilariously played with at the end of the episode when, during what is supposed to be a dramatic climax to the "battle" between Gumball and Darwin, Gumball is slowly shoving Darwin's into a spinning fan[[note]]That's covered by a grate...so no real danger[[/note]] while Sarah's tape recorder is playing dramatic music. Gumball keeps shoving Darwin in but is shouting for Sarah to intervene, as per her story...who won't because she can't get the tape player to stop playing the music, forcing Gumball to prolong the scene until he [[OffscreenTeleportation suddenly appears next to Sarah]], grabs the recorder, and breaks it by throwing it off the building, causing the music to stop altogether.

* ObsessionSong: Sarah's makes an [[LyricalDissonance incredibly upbeat]] song about how she's been stalking Darwin and Gumball with a video she sent to them.

* SayingToMuch: Sarah briefly tells Darwin and Gumball "I moved schools to be near you guys." in the cafeteria, although it goes without comment.

** She took a picture of Gumball's face after Darwin's "surgery" in "The Photo".

* ObsessionSong: Sarah's makes a song about how she's been stalking Darwin and Gumball with a video she sent to them.

* MediumAwareness: At the end the episode Sarah begins singing the end credits tune.

* RhetoricalRequestBlunder: Some of Sarah's creepier behavior may have been a result of hearing Gumball's describe her as "the insanely obsessive one" and taking this as ''an invitation.''

* NoExceptYes:
-->'''Gumball:''' Sarah, this whole... [[LoonyFan thing]] isn't working out.\\
'''Darwin:''' Yeah, it's not you, it's us.\\
'''Gumball:''' By which we mean it's you.

* StylisticSelfParody: Gumball says that the Rainbow factory blowing up meaning the water in Elmore will be contaminated for century so "They say our kids will look even weirder than we do!"

* TakeThat: To the stereotypical fangirls of the series, using Sarah as their representation. She's well-meaning, but she annoys them through her interference and even wrote adventures about the three of them, in the style of a stereotypical fanfic.
** They were pretty fair compared to most other series and a bit more in-depth, acknowledging shipping and Gumball mentioning she should go to art school (which is a common criticism to those who draw crappy fan-art).

The new kid at at Elmore Junior High, a sentient ice cream cone named Sarah G. Lato, reveals that she's Gumball and Darwin's number one fan.

* ContinuityCavalcade: Sarah's video includes pictures she took of Darwin and Gumball during events of previous episode. Some of them are from before she transferred to Elmore Junior High and actually met them, implying ''she's been stalking them for months'':

* ContinuityCavalcade: Sarah's video includes pictures she took of Darwin and Gumball during events of previous episode. Some of them are from before she transferred to Elmore Junior High and actually met them, implying she'd already been stalking them for ''months'':
** When Darwin was riding by on a broom in "The Colossus", she took a picture.

A sentient ice cream cone named Sarah G. Lato starts school at Elmore Junior High (even though she was in the background of the classroom on "The Apology" and she already knows Gumball and Darwin as seen in "The Sweaters") and reveals that she's Gumball and Darwin's number one fan.

Sarah, the new kid in school, is Gumball and Darwin’s number one, slightly obsessive, fan.

** They were pretty fair compared to most other series and a bit more indepth, acknowledging shipping and Gumball mentioning she should go to art school (a mention of some of the more eccentric fans still being talented).

* {{Animesque}} The illustrations in Sarah's FanFic of Gumball and Darwin, which are spoofs of the bad anime-style drawings of typical fan fics.

* OhCrapThereAreFanFicsOfUs: Darwin and Gumball finds Sarah's fan fic of them. Gumball is especially peeved that she draws him shorter than Darwin.

* TakeThat: "The Fan" is one to the stereotypical fangirls of the series, using Sarah as their representation. She's well-meaning, but she annoys them through her interference and even wrote adventures about the three of them, in the style of a stereotypical fanfic.
