3	Lately, Darwin has been having very violent sneezing fits that seem to coincide with people saying or doing something stupid. When legitimate medicine and the holistic approach don't cut it, Darwin decides to move out to the desert to keep from being a danger to himself and others.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* BaitAndSwitchComment:
7	-->'''Teri:''' So the symptoms are a weird, empty sensation in my stomach; the feeling of light-headedness; and unusual amount of saliva in my mouth when I think of food. I checked on the internet, and apparently it might be something called the G-Virus, which can only be cured by cutting off the infected part or the removal of the brain. \
8	'''Joan:''' Hmm. I'm gonna prescribe two weeks off, and a couple of heavy sedatives a day for six weeks. \
9	'''Teri:''' Ah, thank you. \
10	'''Joan:''' No, that's for me. What you just described is called being hungry. Now for the last time, please get out of my office so I can [[TroubledFetalPosition curl up under my desk]] and revise my career choices.
11	* BlackComedyBurst: Darwin suggests he sneezes on the panda since it's "given up on life anyway". The Brazilian translation for the scene is even darker; he says "Go for the panda, ''it's already in extinction anyway!''
12	* BusFullOfInnocents: Darwin is about to sneeze at a baby, so Gumball points him a truck... but the truck has a baby panda in it ("Go for the panda! [[BlackComedy They've given up on life anyway!]]"), so he instead sneezes into a hole in a fence--blowing up a kitten orphanage on the other side ([[CouldHaveBeenMessy somehow harming none of its residents]]).
13	* CameraAbuse: Darwin's sneeze at the end breaks the TV screen.
14	* ContinuityNod: Gumball thought Darwin's sneezing was caused by worms, and recommends he get rid of them by whistling until they came out his rear end--the same thing Anais told them to do in "The Flakers" when she pretended to have fed them worm eggs.
15	* GratuitousFrench: After taking about a dozen acupuncture needles to the face, Mr. Small rambles a nonsense phrase in French.
16	--> ''L'anana sondi magico quand il danse en bikini.''[[labelnote:Translation]]"The pineapple sounds magical when it dances in bikini." Note that "magical" was actually said in Spanish, not French.[[/labelnote]]
17	* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: When Mr. Small (poorly) gives Darwin acupuncture, Gumball says that on a pain scale of 1 to 10 it looks like at least a "Somebody please finish me off, every second of my tragic existence is pure agony."
18	* HumanPincushion: Mr. Small's attempt at acupuncture results in Darwin covered in needles and foaming at the mouth. He still sneezes, sending the needles into Gumball and Mr. Small. Gumball deflates like a balloon, says he could "[[TastesLikePurple smell dancing and taste purple]]", while Mr. Small babbles in another language before passing out.
19	-->'''Gumball:''' Well, on a pain scale of 1 to 10, this looks like it would score at least a... "Somebody please finish me off, every second of my tragic existence is pure agony."\
20	'''Mr. Small:''' Don't worry, acupuncture is completely painless.\
21	'''Darwin:''' He's right. [[FeelNoPain I can't feel pain]]--or anything from the neck down.\
22	'''Mr. Small:''' Yeah, I couldn't remember the exact energy points I needed to strike, so... better safe than sorry!
23	* InstantlyProvenWrong: Mr. Small drops his "unbreakable" crystal, it breaks in half, and he then [[ImplausibleDeniability claims to have]] ''two'' "unbreakable crystals".
24	* ItRunsInTheFamily: During the pillow fight, Gumball speaks his strategy in his mind. When Nicole sees the schoolbus and fears they wil be late, she speaks her strategy the same way.
25	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Darwin's sneeze propels the family car backward into Marvin, knocking him offscreen but leaving his hat behind. Marvin can be heard saying "That hurt.", as if slightly inconvenienced.
26	* OneDimensionalThinking: Parodied when a truck falls over and into an alley that the kids all run into:
27	-->'''Gumball:''' Quick! Let's run away as fast as we can in a straight line!\
28	...\
29	'''Anais:''' I don't know what was more stupid--the fact that that was your solution or that we chose to follow you. \
30	''(Darwin begins sneezing)''\
31	'''Gumball:''' I think it was [[VoodooShark more stupid]] that you [[LampshadeHanging pointed it out.]]
32	* PlotAllergy: Darwin [[FalseCause is assumed]] to be allergic to stupidity. In actuality, he had a feather stuck in his gills.
33	* PreemptiveShutUp: Darwin sneezes once right ''before'' Gumball can give an idea because he knows it will be a bad one. Gumball also stops [[ClassClown Banana Joe]] before he can say ''anything at all'', but unfortunately triggers another sneeze by mentioning the "Specific Ocean".
34	* RecoilBoost: After his sneezes keep blowing them back whenever they try to move forward, Anais tries pointing Darwin in the other direction and it more or less works. Gumball then points him down in hopes of getting blown all the way out of town. The results were... [[DeathFromAbove not as good.]]
35	* SneezeOfDoom: Darwin's sneezes become more and more powerful. At first he just knocks people over, but by the end he's knocking whole blocks full of cars and people hundreds of feet into the air and people to the other side of the world.
36	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Parodied when Nicole speaks her complicated plan to get the boys to the bus on time in her mind. By the time she's finished, Darwin and Gumball are already on the bus.
37	-->'''Anais:''' I ''think'' you [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud lost them]] at "[[DestinationDefenestration throw them through the window]]".
38	* VariableTerminalVelocity: One of Darwin's sneezes knocks himself, Gumball, Anais, and a bunch of objects up in the air at once ([[RuleOfFunny without even changing their position relative to each other]]), yet the kids drop immediately and everything else comes down on them after they land.
