* BluntYes: While cleaning the Robinsons' yard, Gumball and Darwin find a leaf that looks like Mr. Robinson's face.

* WatchThePaintJob: Mr. Robinson's fancy white car is entirely totaled.

* SkewedPriorities: Anais cares way more about the Daisy the Donkey show than about her mother's situations and concerns (like being tired from working and crashing Mr. Robinson's car.)

* FlatWhat: Mr. Robinson says this after seeing what he thinks is a doll driving a car.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Nicole is driving with Anais by the house and sees the Robinsons talking with Donut Cop. She ducks and shoves Anais down, but Daisy the Donkey is still sticking up, making it looks to the Robinsons and Donut Cop that the doll is driving their car.

* NotHelpingYourCase: While the Robinsons are rather justified in being angry with the Wattersons for destroying their car, they don't exactly do themselves any favors by angrily screaming at the Donut Cop to arrest them, destroying the Wattersons' own car as payback ''right in front of him'', and then flying into a rage and attacking him when he tries to calm them down; in the end, all they succeed in doing is getting ''themselves'' arrested.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Doughnut Sheriff gives the Robinsons several warnings to calm down, and then subdues and arrests them when they try to attack him.

* NotHelpingYourCase: While the Robinsons are rather justified in being angry with the Wattersons for destroying their car, they don't exactly do themselves any favors by angrily screaming at the Doughnut Sheriff to arrest them, destroying the Wattersons' own car as payback ''right in front of him'', and then flying into a rage and attacking him when he tries to calm them down; in the end, all they succeed in doing is getting ''themselves'' arrested.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Mr. Robinson resorts to this when trying to get the Doughnut Sheriff to arrest the Wattersons.

* NotHelpingYourCase: While the Robinsons are rather justified in being angry with the Wattersons for destroying their car, they don't exactly do themselves any favors by angrily screaming at the Doughnut Sheriff to arrest them, and then flying into a psychotic rage and destroying the Wattersons' own car right in front of him; in the end, they get themselves arrested.

* {{Unishment}}: Mr. Robinson punishes Gumball and Darwin by making them do his chores. But they ''love'' helping Mr. Robinson. He keeps trying to make them hate it by [[MovingTheGoalposts adding extra conditions]] (like painting the fence over and over many different ways), but just frustrates himself at how easily they do them all. Mr. Robinson couldn't even get them to ''stop'' doing chores when he asked.

* OffscreenRealityWarp: Mr. Robinson insists Gumball and Darwin cut his lawn using nail clippers. As soon as they're offscreen and he turns to go in the door, the lawn is in immaculate shape. He orders them to also paint the fence and the same thing happens. Once Mr. Robinson says it needs to be a different color, it ''doesn't even'' take until they're offscreen: Darwin or Gumball don't visible move at all, the fence (and the paint on their faces) just keeps instantly changing color every time he says it needs to be something else.

* WatchThePaintJob: Mr. Robinson's fancy white car is entirely totaled.

* ContinuityNod: Richard uses the same "electro-fat" device that's in the attic in "The Poltergeist".
** Gumball and Darwing are playing the board game they invented in "The Third"

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Nicole is driving with Anais by the house and see's the Robinsons talking with the sheriff.

* EverybodyDidIt: It initially seems Gumball and Darwin somehow destroyed the car by barely touching it, but the ''entire'' Watterson family had a hand in it: Anais's insistence that Nicole take her to see ''Daisy on Ice'' lead to Nicole giving the car a dent and leaving without telling the Robinsons. This made Richard think he caused a dent, leading him to total the car trying to pound it out, then fix ''those'' dents only well enough that they'd come back at the slightest push. Gumball and Darwin just put down TheLastStraw.
