* AfterTheEnd: The first attempt to go advance the clock forward to zero instead results in skipped to post-apocalyptic Earth--possibly so far that the sun explodes.



* NinjaProp: A driving plot element. A typical RaceAgainstTheClock ensures for the first half of the episode, but then with seven seconds to spare, Gumball and Darwin ScreenTap. They break the screen, they break the clock on the screen, and therefore, TimeStandsStill.
* TimeTravel: Gumball and Darwin do this after they mess with the clock on the screen.

to:

* BehindTheBlack: Darwin and Gumball invite the crocodile lady to push them off the bus once it stops, oblivious to the out-of-frame bridge that the bus is on the edge of.
* BusesAreForFreaks: Gumball [[InvokedTrope claims]] that the public bus is full of degenerates and gives advice (hit the first person that looks at you sideways) that's typically given for people in prison. [[SubvertedTrope It's actually nowhere near as bad as he excepted]], which causes Gumball to apologize, but claim Darwin was the one who thought it was like that.
* ButterflyOfDoom: Darwin and Gumball accidentally mess with some apes in prehistoric Earth and try to fix it, which results in numerous weird versions of the present with things like everyone being a quadruped, everyone looking like the two of them, [[BigFatFuture everyone being fat]], and everyone [[GodwinsLawOfTimeTravel looking pissed off and yelling in German]].
* ContinuityNod: Darwin and Gumball try to read the ''Captain Punch'' comic from "The Colossus" that they said was to intense for their mom to let their dad read.
* CloseEnoughTimeline: Gumball and Darwin end the episode in a timeline that doesn't appear any different than it was before.

'''Gumball:''' Eh, I can live with that.
* FrictionBurn: Since time is frozen, Gumball opening a page on a comic book moves it so fast that it instant bursts into flames.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When the Darwin and Gumball copies all start coming out, the apes they interrupted stare at them annoyed, with the one that was on the cliff angrily crossing his arms.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The countdown starts at six minutes, twenty-three seconds when [[SpoiledByTheFormat there's more than ten minutes left in the episode]]. Sure enough, the clock runs out, is stopped, [[ButterflyOfDoom and things spiral out of control from there]].
* PuffOfLogic:
** When Gumball questions how a truck carried him and Darwin to the outskirts of town [[TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot with only four seconds on the timer passes]], a solid minute passes instantly. Gumball almost points out that this should have taken ''hours'', [[GenreSavvy but Darwin stops him]], and they instead say they must be close enough to also get back in town in one minutes. Cut to them in town with the clock only advancing one minute.
** Gumball points out a bunch of Darwin and Gumball being in the same place at once would be a TimeParadox. They all agree and then disappear, which makes the apes mistake them for gods.
* LeParkour: Gumball tries to use parkour to get to school because [[WrongGenreSavvy he thinks it's the fastest way to get anywhere]], but he just slows things down by taking time to jump and climb over things.
* MundaneUtility: Gumball and Darwin are ''ecstatic'' when they think time has frozen in place, using it do things like pulling pranks and reading comics they wouldn't normally be allowed to.
* NeverMyFault: Gumball tries to blame Darwin for harassing the people on the bus, letting someone shove them out of it, and making the clock jump forward a minute, which were all his fault.
* NinjaProp: A driving plot element. element: A typical RaceAgainstTheClock ensures for the first half of the episode, but then the actual clock on display is [[MediumAwareness completely visible]] to Darwin and Gumball, and they begin interacting with it in several ways.
** The clock corresponds to time spent on-screen, rather than how much time would seem to pass in-universe. A cut where Darwin and Gumball go from their house to the street is pointed out to have happened in only a few seconds.
** No time passes during a cut of Darwin and Gumball falling onto a truck and being carried out of town, which Gumball points out makes no sense.
** With
seven seconds to spare, Gumball and Darwin ScreenTap. They [[CameraAbuse break the screen, they break screen]] and the clock on the screen, and therefore, TimeStandsStill.
* OverlyLongGag: Gumball's dramatic announcement that they'll need to take the public bus is accompanied by a ScareChord that last ten solid seconds.
* RetGone: Gumball and Darwin trying to prevent themselves from interfering with the timeline seemingly results in killing their past selves, which Gumball points out means they should disappear into nothingness. Luckily, another set of Gumball and Darwin put down a trampoline.
* StylisticSelfParody:
** Darwin draws his own face on in the morning, and briefly tries out drawing a nose before [[TheNoseless erasing it]].
** All Gumball remembers about Ms. Simian's lecture on tardiness is noticing that her bald head looks like Mt. Fuji.
