!!Tropes:
* BeYourself: {{Double Subver|sion}}ted as Gumball and Darwin seem to just fail and get mocked for their behavior, but still keep up with it anyway--something Penny admires. The point is seemingly that if "yourself" is a loser, you can at least be a ''happy'' loser that way.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Nicole sees Gumball and Darwin watching an online video posted of them "practicing" (for lack of a better term) their karate. When she asks who posted it, Gumball replies "Some kids at school did". When a close up of the screen appears, the user account is "[=SomeKidsAtSchool=]".
