The scene cuts back to the bench where Darwin suggests explaining their findings to Tobias so they may smooth things over however, Gumball decides to have them wait until next Monday.īack at their house, Gumball laments not wanting to hurt Tobias' feelings through wanting to explain that there are boundaries, but is unable to finish his thought when Tobias suddenly barges into their living room, much to the boys' shock.
The next example is the two of them in their living room as Gumball passes by Darwin who is watching TV, and Gumball proceeds to belch in his hands and throw the cloud of obnoxious fumes at his brother, suffocating him in the odor briefly before the two of them laugh it off. The two of them share a high-five and Darwin actually pulls off his bow tie. The former two were thoughtful while Darwin sent a rather insulting card, nonetheless the joke was perceived by the feline (through this card, it is revealed he was hit by a bus).Īnother example of these playful insults at work is when Darwin is dressed in a bow tie and loafers, and while Carrie suggests that he pulled this look off, Gumball reveals himself from behind Darwin's locker door and tells him that he should, quite literally, pull it off. The cards were sent by Leslie, Bobert, and Darwin. This is further elaborated when Gumball compares the way they treat each other and their other friends, such examples include Gumball being hospitalized for a broken leg and reading Get Well cards as he recovers. Tobias emerges from behind the bench and kisses Gumball's forehead and declares victory as he walks away, nonetheless leaving the boys in shock, especially Gumball.Īfter this shock, Gumball realizes that he has stumbled upon an epiphany: Tobias is not good enough friends with him, which is the reason why Gumball cannot pick up on how Tobias is trying to join in their playful insults. After Darwin comments about not needing to see his ego showing immense love to itself through self-smooching, Gumball playfully tries to kiss Darwin, to which his brother responds by doing the same resulting in a kiss fight without the direct contact. The scene then cuts to the brothers sitting on a bench, the feline now reverted to his normal self. From outside, Darwin concludes that his ego is normal. Despite warning Darwin not to pry at showing any more layers of personality, a massive creature comes out of the body and eventually grows to the size of their house while Darwin makes an escape. The personality fragment confesses that his aggression is because he is scared of the one thing behind all of them: Gumball's ego. By attacking Optimism, it is hinted that Gumball's aggressions come from fear deep enough that could harm his usual optimism. Another fragment of his personality comes out of Humor's body under the name of Fear, which is bigger than Humor, and another fragment pops out under the alias of Optimism however, the aforementioned personality fragment crushes Optimism.
This is a possible hint that a portion, or all, of Gumball's humor stems from a level of anxiety.
This being introduces himself to Darwin under the name of Humor and tells a joke (even if the punchline was himself) however, Humor begins to cry and come out of his facade when he removes his orange nose to reveal another layer of Gumball's personality: anxiety. Darwin thinks Gumball's problem might be his personality and then they go to their house to evaluate it.Īt their house, Darwin suggests uncovering each layer of Gumball's personality which leads to a yellow, jolly being to come out of Gumball's body. Darwin, confused, asks why Gumball makes that face every time Rocky is around only for Gumball to clarify that it is because of Tobias' comments. In the cafeteria, Gumball attempts to pull a trick in which he flips a bottle of soda with intentions to have it land on the bottom however, it lands in the spaghetti and the bottle sprays soda all over him.Īt this point, the brothers start to make fun of Gumball's tendency of being a loser, but Tobias once again tries to join in leading to Gumball being disgusted once more. The brothers are then seen in the hall mocking Gumball's weakness after he drops a pile of books that he was attempting to place in his locker with a renewed sense of humor, but when Tobias walks by and tries to insult him as well, Gumball once again shows a facial expression indicating disgust. The episode starts with Gumball and Darwin in the locker room where Gumball makes fun of his weight gain by manipulating the fat into a face and Darwin joins his brother in playfully insulting his weight as well however, Tobias then comes and mocks Gumball's belly fat as well, much to Gumball's disgust.
