History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS6E14TheShippening

* CatchPhrase: Bexi (the fake Darwin) has "This bird is out of control!", which the real Darwin points out wouldn't come up often. Bexi does get to use it when she's in a swan boat that's out of control.

** [[RunningGag Once again]], Larry [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E11TheLaziest tries to]] [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E21TheGoons marry]] his girlfriend Karen, but is interrupted and ends up proposing to Mr. Small.

** The police who rummage through the back of the Awesome Store suffer such fates as being disintegrated by lightning and [[BodySnatcher having their body stolen by a]] DemonicDummy.

** [[RunningGag Once again]], Larry [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E11TheLaziest tries to]] [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E21TheGoons marry]] his girlfriend Karen, but is interrupted and ends up proposing to a male character.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Gumball sees a future version of himself that apparently had a baby with Carrie, he's more weirded out by the fact that he's wearing sandals than the fact he apparently stole Darwin's girlfriend. When he sees a human, female version of him marrying a human version of Darwin seconds later, he's more weirded out by the fact that he's the one in the dress than the relationship itself.

** Gumball says that "this has Sarah written all over it", then points to Sarah's signature on one of the original characters.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Gumball sees a future version of himself that apparently had a baby with Carrie, he's more weirded out by the fact that he's wearing sandals than the fact he apparently stole Darwin's girlfriend.

* StylisticSuck: Zachariah and Bexi have rather crudely designed and animated in contrast to all the other characters. Justified as they were both created by [[LoonyFan Sarah]].

*** This time [[LoonyFan Sarah]] is the one to interrupt them.

** Because the magic notebook takes metaphors too literally, it leads to things like characaters literally falling apart because they're "broken up".

* AffectionateParody: Of the very concept of {{shipping}}. Ben Bocquelet on Twitter made it very clear that he doesn't hate shippers, and even asked for ship examples, telling them to continue and have fun.

->'''Gumball:''' It's like a commercial for male deodorant out there!

* AffectionateParody: Ben Bocquelet on Twitter made it very clear that he doesn't hate shippers, and even asked for ship examples, telling them to continue and have fun[[note]]though that didn't stop some people online from trashing the episode for being a "Screw you" to shippers and the idea of fanfiction[[/note]].

* ThemeTuneCameo: As Sarah first looks the notebook over, the first 6 notes of the credits play in the background.

* NotBloodSiblings: One of Sarah's fanfics is a wedding between humanized (and in the latter's case, [[GenderSwap female]]) versions of Darwin and Gumball.

* NotBrainwashed: As the police are breaking down the door, Gumball tries to use the notebook to stop them. Cut to Donut Cop and female coffee cup police officers looking at each other with CrushFilter and suddenly falling in love as Sarah made happen repeatedly. Cut back to Gumball explaining that he hasn't written anything yet.

* OfficialCouple: Turns out that Donut Cop and female coffee cup cop are the only ones who genuinely fell in love with each other.

* GenderSwap: The human Gumball is female.
