Nigel Brown: [Reading] Apply wax strip to hairy area, leave for a few seconds, then peel back quickly for a smooth and painless experience. [He puts wax all over his body and grabs a picture of Miss Simian] This is all for you my darling
Why exactly is Principal Brown waxing himself at school? In his office!? I mean, if he really wanted to do it at school, surely it would have made more sense to do it in one of the bathrooms? +1

Principal Brown: [He rips some of the hair off his body, revealing muscles and bare skin] Hello?!
Ew +1

He sees Gumball and Darwin gaping at him, disturbed by what they have just seen
How did he not notice Gumball and Darwin enter the room? It should have been pretty obvious with the noise of the corridor becoming louder with the door opening +1

Nigel Brown: Right! Any plans for the weekend?
Gumball: Well, I was gonna go on a date with Penny, but maybe I'll just stay home and bleach my eyeballs.
And so we have the continuation of what the  previous episode started with the Penball Origins Mini-Quadrilogy from The Shell-The Mirror. I love that for once we have a mini arc carrying across and connecting multiple episodes. Wish they'd done this more, as it's such a cool idea -10

Nigel Brown: Well, I'm afraid it wasn't a request. It's an order. [Takes out Chris Morris from his cage and pets him] He's been in this cage since he was born, six long years ago. So please take extremely good- [Drops Chris Morris, then picks up a lump of his waxed fur, mistaking it for Chris Morris] -extremely good care of him.
Principal Brown somehow mistook a lump of his own fur as a hamster. Like, how does he not notice the weight difference and different temperature? +5

Also, Chris Morris just so happens to have the exact same colour fur as Principal Brown +1

Darwin: What are you doing?
Gumball: I'm doing my hair for the date.
Darwin: Oh, cool! What should I wear?
Gumball: What do you mean?
Darwin: For the date!
Why on earth would Darwin think for even a second that he was gonna be coming along with Gumball on his date? I mean, I get that he's never had a girlfriend before, plus only a basic understanding of what a girlfriend even is, but Bobert literally explained to him that a date is between two people ages ago in The Party. He had literally no reason what so ever to assume he was coming along +10

Gumball: No way, man.
Darwin: But I've got nothing to do!
I mean, you could hang out with Anais. Or your Dad. Or any of your other friends. Or just play some video games. Or watch TV. Or do your homework. Or read a book. Or go for a walk. Or-okay, you get the gist +5

Gumball: Well, you can look after Chris Morris.
Darwin: What? No! I've got stuff to do.
Gumball: You just said you had nothing to do!
Gumball would be good at CinemaSins +1

Penny: Oh, he's so cute! I think it's so cool that you're looking after him.
Gumball: You do? Well, you see the thing you gotta learn about me, Penny, is that I'm a stand-up guy.
[Penny smiles]
Gumball: The kind of guy who takes care of school pets without being asked.
Penny: [Giggles]
Gumball: The kind of guy who welcomes responsibility.
Penny: [Giggles]
Gumball: The kind of guy you'd wanna marry.
[Penny stops giggling and has a questionable expression on her face as she does a so-so gesture]
Penny's reaction to this last line seems a little weird to be honest. I mean, she already told him before in The End that the only reason she wouldn't marry him then is that they weren't old enough. Considering that and how much she's been crushing on him back, I don't see why she'd be unsure or put off by such an idea now +5
