Everything Wrong With The Amazing World of Gumball Part 1: Seasons 1-3 & Comics

EWW: The Car

Anais: Holds up poster It's Daisy the Donkey on Ice Day! You promised to take me, and we're late!
Nicole: Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Mommy worked really late last night.

Anais holds a tape recorder and plays it
Nicole: On recording What sort of a horrible mother wouldn't take her daughter to her favorite show?
Nicole: Oh, Anais, I know what I said, but--
Anais replays the part that says "horrible mother" on repeat
Nicole: Sighs Okay.
If she was this tired couldn't she have just asked Anais to get her father or hell even Gumball and Darwin to take her instead? Sure they might have been a little reluctant but in the end they would never been able to say no to it. They could never disappoint Anais like that.  +1

Also, Anais is being pretty inconsiderate here. I get she's excited but Nicole is very cleary exhausted here, and Anais is more than smart enough to realize that and have the initiative to ask or suggest that her father take her instead. so as it stands she's just being a bit of a dick to her Mom. +5

Also also I get Anais is excited, and that this was the first episode ever written, but she acts way more childish in this episode than she does in any other episode of the show so far. +1 

Richard: Relax, honey. I'm here. What could go wrong?
Flashback to when Richard played with them, the house was on fire
Gumball, Darwin and Richard: Dodge or Dare! Dodge or Dare! Dodge or Dare!
Flashback ends
Nicole: Nervously Yeah... What could go wrong?
If she's this concerned then, again, why doesn't she get Richard to take Anais to the show and stay here to watch over Gumball and Darwin and get some more rest instead? Such an easy solution is right in front of her but she just ignores it. +5

Anais: Frustrated Daisy the Donkey!
Nicole is pulled out of the house by Anais
No way is a four-year-old girl that strong. +1

Darwin: Dare! You have to throw the ball onto the moon using only objects from the trash!
Gumball: Stretches his arms Ha! Just watch and learn. Quickly builds a Rube-Goldberg machine Yes! Blows out a marble
The marble moves through the machine and eventually makes a bowling ball fly to Gumball's direction
Gumball: Aaaahh! Covers his face with his hands as the ball is about to hit his face
The ball's movement is suddenly paused
Darwin: Hey, the card says "No hands".
But...it didn't. He read out the whole card earlier and it never mentioned anything like that. Unless it didn't and he for some reason just didn't read that part out until right now. +1

Gumball sighs and hardens his face to receive the ball. The ball suddenly moves again and bounces back from his face
He should be knocked out. +1

The ball suddenly hits Margaret's wig, causing it to fall off
and so should she. +1

Margaret puts her wig back on, glares at Gaylord and he stops laughing. They hear the doorbell ringing
Cut to the front door. It opens and Gumball and Darwin are happily talking simultaneously
Why did they go all the way to the front instead of just asking for it at the fence? Mr. and Mrs Robinson were right in front of them. +1

The doorbell rings and the Robinsons immediately go to open it. They then stare dumbfounded at what they're seeing
Why...why did they go to the back garden? If the doorbell rung surely they'd go to the front door. +1
Gumball: Excuse me. Takes a leaf from Gaylord's head There. Puts the leaf into a group of other leaves We're done!

How did they do this, and everything else later on for that matter, so fast? +1

In a slow-motion scene, Gumball quickly drinks the juice, keeping the rug clean. Darwin then cleans his mouth with a napkin
How the hell are they able to move this fast? And why do they never use this power again in the entire rest of the series? +1

Gumball: I'm sure Mr. Robinson needs more help.
Darwin: Maybe he's too shy to ask.
Gaylord: Camera zooms to the mail chute Go away!
Gumball: He hides it well, but, I can feel he needs us.
Gaylord: From left lower window Go away! From right upper window Go away! From left upper window Go away!!
Gumball: Now, that is a cry for help. Points above him
...writers make Gumball (and Darwin) uncharacteristically stupid cliché +1

The car's wreckage bursts into flames, Gumball and Darwin scream
How on earth did it burst into flames like that? +1

Gaylord: Shocked My car! Gets down on his knees in despair Who... did... this?!
He somehow didn't immediately blame the two people he literally allowed to clean his car a few seconds ago. Like, who else would it have been? +1

Cut to the Watterson's car, with Anais and Nicole, coming home from Daisy the Donkey on Ice. Anais is holding a giant Daisy plushie
Anais: Singing Daisy! Daisy the Donkey!
Awwww, it's really cute seeing Anais this happy! -5

Anais: Mom, why are the Robinsons talking to the Sheriff on the lawn?
Nicole: Nervously I don't know, sweetie.
Nicole pushes Anais downwards as she ducks out of sight
Nicole: Whispering I think we'll just go around the back.|
Cut to the front of the Robinsons' house, with Gaylord, Margaret, and Doughnut Sheriff
Gaylord: I'm telling you, Sheriff! It was those kids next door as sure as I...
Gaylord is interrupted by a car passing by, with a view of a Daisy doll in the driver seat
She says they'll go around the back but they drive past the front of his house anyway +1

Gumball: Looks from the attic window] Poor Mr. Robinson. We wrecked his beautiful new car Cut to inside the attic and nobody has the courtesy to apologize.
Darwin: We should be ashamed of ourselves!
Gumball: So, let's get out there and apologize...
Huh, weird to see Gumball being the one morally in the right for once. Usually, Nicole or Anais would have been the one to say something like this.  Nice to see Gumball showing he can be responsible sometimes. -5

Gaylord: This is what happens when you mess with Gaylord! He and Margaret start destroying Richard's car This is what happens! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS! THIS... IS... WHAT... HAPPENS!
Richard: They look kind of angry, Gumball.
Considering Richard's seemingly close bond with Cartax in The Routine I;m surprised he isn't more upset or angry to witness him being severely damaged like this. +1

Richard: Well, there is one important thing we learned today.
Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Nicole: Huh?
Richard: That ElectroFat Machine was worth Takes off his shirt, revealing his abs every penny.
He shows off his abs here but then they're just gonna again in the next episode with no explanation. +1
