Gumball: And introducing all my other friends in....The Amazing World of— Ugh. Forget it, who's gonna watch that?
Gumball and Darwin play around with a video camera and make home movies, turning the episode into an amateur sketch show.
Tropes:
- As Himself: In-universe, Gumball introduces everyone in the video with "x as x!", with a sign saying just that. He even introduces the mailman as "this guy as... this guy!"
- Bowdlerise: The Cartoon Network Arabia version of this episode cuts out the entire part with Tobias' tips on how to score with girls.
- Brick Joke: Gumball and Darwin film a commercial for "Baby Anais, The Living Baby Doll" which soon turns into a commercial for "The Annihilator."
Much later when Darwin is lecturing about Infinity-finity-finity, Gumball appears out of nowhere with "The Annihilator" and attacks the camera. - Cuteness Overload: Darwin's "cute combo" ends up being so cute it makes Gumball pass out face-down with rainbow-colored vomit leaking out the sides.
- Downer Ending: Gumball and Darwin accidentally delete everything from the tape, making the episode pointless.
- Epic Fail: Darwin keeps messing up the film's intro, which involves turning to face the camera on a swivel chair. Gumball decides to try it himself and snaps his own neck 180 degree without the rest of his body or the chair changing direction.
- Fartillery: Richard is described as having a "silent but deadly defense mechanism that triggers itself when he feels threatened", scaring off Nicole from taking back the food he grabbed from the groceries.
- Given Name Reveal: The "X as X!" segment reveals Carrie's surname to be Krueger.
- Homage: In one portion Darwin attempts to make his and Gumball's tape more serious by showing time-lapse shots of nature and the movement of people and cars to music similar to that of Philip Glass while narrating and presenting "science" in a Saganesque style.
- Konami Code: Ocho uses this to summon money for a vending machine, write a test, and easily pass gym. When Gumball does it, he glitches up. Possibly this was because, when Ocho does the code, he does the left-right part from the perspective of the camera/player, as any videogame character would. When Gumball does it, he moves to his own left-right, essentially inverting the code.
- Medium-Shift Gag: A Travel Montage in "Ninja George" is shown using live-action cardboard cutouts.
- Not Hyperbole: Ninja George (Gumball) swears he would never raise his fist again; then he eats a sandwich with his foot.
- Painful Rhyme:Tobias: If you want to get dates, you got to pump weights! 'cause girls can't deny a guy who's this fly. So let's get some muscles and score some chicks from... like, Brussels, or something.
- Plot Hole: Invoked Trope. Gumball asks Darwin why his character in their movie didn't just kill Gumball's before all the training.
- Rhetorical Question Blunder:Tobias: Hey, beautiful, you have a quarter? 'Cause I told my mom I'd call her when I fell in love.
Masami: Uh, no, I'm sorry. I don't. But you can use my cell.
(Masami hands Tobias her cellphone, he dials it)
Tobias: (on phone) Hey, mom... could you come pick me up early today, 'cause (whispers) I'm kind of embarrassed. - Screamer Prank: Carrie does one where she pretends you can see in 3D without glasses if you get really close to the screen (this short was originally used on the Elmore Stream-it youtube account).
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: Once Gumball and Darwin finish the tape them and a bunch of other people were working on, they accidentally delete everything.
- Take That!: Gumball tells Darwin to hurt himself or look cute, because "people like to look at people who hurt themselves and cute animals," which explains the popularity of most Internet videos.
- Title Drop: Subverted when Gumball says "The Amazing World of! Ugh, forget it, who's gonna watch that..."
- Use Your Head: Ocho gets money out of a Super Mario style brick by hitting it. Gumball tries the same and merely injures himself.
- Vignette Episode: An episode featuring the Wattersons and students at Elmore Jr. High with the Framing Device of a video Gumball and Darwin are trying to make.
- Wildlife Commentary Spoof: Gumball films his family like a nature documentary and makes up fake scientific sounding names, calling Richard "Moobus Gelatinous", Nicole "Kickbuttus Hystericus", and Anais "Runtus Decepticus".
- Wimp Fight: A small hit from Darwin during their movie's climactic fight makes Gumball cry, which makes Darwin cry.
