3
4A series of vignettes centered on the sentient objects in the world of Elmore.
5----
6!!Tropes:
7* BrickJoke: Mid-way through, a soda can is offended by Darwin throwing him away and swears revenge. Near the end of the episode we see Darwin in a grocery store and the same can shows up on a stack (apparently having been recycled) and brings the whole thing down on Darwin.
8* {{Bowdlerization}}: On Cartoon Network Arabia, the entire part with the Kebab Fighter players trying to ask each other out on a date is cut.
9* ContinuityNod:
10** As in "The End", the moon still has visible buttocks that it likes to moon people with.
11** Gumball's [[ComicBook/TheSandman Corinthian]]-esque eyeball mouths from "The Photo" show up again.
12** [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E27TheDate Mr. Cuddles]][[labelnote:*]]The Fitzgerald family pet[[/labelnote]] makes an appearance during the ending song. He's standing on the toilet seat, just like Gumball found him.
13* CreatorCameo: The hundred-dollar bill that sings "People like me more than you" has the face of Mic Graves, the series director, wearing a powdered wig like George Washington.
14* EnmityWithAnObject: Gumball stubs his toe on a coffee table and then prepares to punch it in rage only for the coffee table to object. Gumball admits to being unreasonable, because it's not like the table moved itself into his way--then he realizes it ''did'' and it runs off to avoid explaining itself.
15* {{Homage}}: The first skit after the intro jingle has the Sun, Moon, and Earth parody the intro to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
16* LetsMeetTheMeat:
17** Gumball's lunch is portrayed like a squad of soldiers [[BlackComedy being horribly slaughtered in battle]], with the last fry begging to be killed ("[[CruelMercy I don't like the sweaty ones.]]")
18** Conversely, a hotdog Richard puts in the microwave is insanely enthusiastic about it, thinking it's "tanning" him. Even when he [[LudicrousGibs explodes]].
19--->''Yeaaaah! Let's tan the inside too!''
20* JustSoStory: One skit is about why the cables on a computer keep getting tangled up: one of them asks Nicole to sort them, but once she does a bunch of others complain about it being too orderly and start scrambling themselves as an attempt at rebellion.
21* LowerDeckEpisode: An episode focusing on the inanimate objects of Elmore.
22* MundaneMadeAwesome: A pair of underpants' attempt to make it through the spin cycle in a dryer is presented like an astronaut undergoing G-force training.
23* ReactiveContinuousScream: Anais's Daisy the Donkey doll starts talking on its own, causing her to start screaming and continue as she dropkicks it and runs off.
24* StealthPun: In the opening musical number, we're shown [[http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/File:TheWorldForks.png a live action silverware-holder,]] and the center slot has a pair of spoons that are stacked a short distance apart and on their sides. This image was shown when the line "We love" was sung, because they're spooning.
25* TakeOverTheWorld: Bacteria start multiplying at an alarming rate, making it clear that they will take over the world in due time. Rocky quickly puts an end to their plan by spraying a specific spot of the toilet bowl with a disinfectant cleanser.
26* TitleDrop: Subverted when the objects' song is all about the "The Amazing World of ''Elmore''"--the point being that it's an episode about them, not Gumball.
27* VignetteEpisode: A series of shorts, this time about the [[EverythingTalks sentient objects Elmore is full of]], with all the established characters only in supporting roles (or not appearing at all) and a musical number by said objects as BookEnds.
