[Alan, Gumball, and Darwin are browsing the internet. Gumball eats some chips noisily while they do this]
Darwin: Shh!
C'mon, the sound of him eating those crisps is not that loud or distracting. You could easily just tune it out or put on some headphones +1

[Just as Darwin continues browsing, Gumball opens a bottle of soda with a hiss. He glares at his brother, and the latter again tries to open the bottle slowly and quietly]
Gumball: [To bottle] Shh! [Drinks]
Gumball loosens the cap here but doesn't actually remove it before drinking from the bottle.

Wait, shit, I'm supposed to provide satirical and comedic sins, not legitimate errors. Uhh...Gumball somehow doesn't realize he's sucking on plastic instead of drinking soda +1

Gumball: [Normal voice] What do you take me for? Some kind of klu—uhh! [Slips on chair]
...

...yes. +1

[He slams his head into the computer, and causes it to burst into flames]
Instead of having Gumball spill his drink over the PC and that being what causes it to burst into flames, which would actually make sense, he said headbutts the screen and somehow that causes it to spontaneously combust. How!? +5

[Gumball motions to his soda, but Darwin shakes his head. He dumps his soda on the flames anyway.]
Wha-dude, he said no! Why would you ask if you should do it, only to ignore his answer and do it anyway!? That's not only stupid, but a dick move +1

[Gumball takes a fire extinguisher. He tries to put out the fire by literally beating the fire with the extinguisher, and this makes the computer explode and stop burning.]
Okay, the other two attempts I can maybe understand, but Gumball is not dumb enough to not know how a fire extinguisher works. Aka, writers make Gumball and/or Darwin uncharacteristically stupid cliché +1

Gumball: [Grabs Darwin] Dude! I'm a goner! The Librarian is gonna hang me, quarter me, roast me, feed me to the dogs, pick up the pieces, rebuild me, and... and say really mean things to me!
Awwwww, the fact her saying mean things to him was the thing he considered the worst part is so sad! Poor guy... -1

Librarian: Who... did... THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSS??!! [Screams and charges at them frantically]
[Gumball and Darwin brace themselves. Alan suddenly stands in their way]
Alan​​​​: It was I.
Librarian: Detention!
Gumball: Dude, why?
[Alan turns around with a saintly face]
Alan​​​​: It's okay. [Gets pulled away]
This moment right here encapsulates Alan as a person so perfectly. A friend who's done nothing but torment and hate him gets himself in trouble and he, without hesitation or a second thought leaps in the way and take the fall for him. He seriously does not get the appreciation he deserves, especially not from Gumball! -5

[From the hallway, Gumball and Darwin watch as Alan takes the blame for them in the principal's office. Principal Brown, Miss Simian, and the Librarian shout at him while he sheds a tear down his saintly face]
Gumball: Dude, why would he do that?
Does it matter why he did it? What matters is he took a massive fucking bullet for you, saving you from not only the teachers rath, but your mother's too, stopped the family from receiving a pretty hefty bill and stopped you from being grounded for who knows how long. What you should be asking isn't why he did it, but what you can do to possibly make it up to him. +5

[Flashback. Tobias is unconscious by the pool with a group of students gathered around him]
Teri: Somebody help! Who knows CPR?!
Teri, the very medically knowledgeable 12-year-old, whose mother is an actual trained doctor, apparently doesn't know CPR.
