The Amazing World of Gumball

Careful, numbskull!

These trophies are a symbol of my excellence as a teacher.

It took me 754 years to collect them all.

What was that?

Hello! "Favorite teacher award"?

It's like the best one and stuff, but you'll never win it.

Why not?

Because you need a letter of recommendation from a student who, uh...

-actually likes you. -That sounds easy enough.

Seriously, though, no one likes you, Miss Simian-- not even me!

And I like everybody.

Nobody likes me?

Hmm?

Dude, I think something's wrong with Miss Simian.

What makes you say that?

She hasn't told anyone off all day.

That is weird.

- -

Hey, guys! Wait up!

Gumball?

Yeah...

You and I are friends, right?

Are we?

Well, what with all the detentions and everything,

I guess we spend a lot of time together.

Uh, I guess so.

-Anyway, gotta go. -Just one more thing.

Would you mind if I hang out with you just for a little while?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I would.

Basically, she asked to be my friend.

Well, I told her "No," obviously.

But now she's just following me around.

And the strangest thing is, she's completely unresponsive.

Watch. See? Nothing!

Hmm.

Try something hot.

Is she still there?

Yep.

Shoo-shoo. Shoo!

Huh.

Fetch!

I hope things get better tomorrow.

What is she doing in my house?

I'm sorry.

I just thought that maybe we could share a nice breakfast together,

but since you all hate me, I'll just go.

I'm walking.

It's so sad.

This is me... on my way.

I'm at the door.

This is kind of harsh.

I'm turning the doorknob.

I'm opening the door.

I don't know why, but I'm crying!

Boy, it sure looks lonely out there.

Mom, why do you hate Miss Simian so much?

I don't want to talk about it.

Please let her stay!

OK. She can stay, but--

Oh, thank you! You're such a kind and friendly family!

You know, I've never had friends before.

I don't even know what friends do.

Don't worry.

We'll show you.

Now, a very important part of friendship is sharing.

Imagine you both have ice creams.

Oh.

But what's this?

Darwin has dropped his ice cream.

I said, "Darwin has dropped his ice cream."

You got it on my shoes.

Do you want to share mine?

Ah. Very good.

Ice cream, Darwin?

Oh, thanks!

But, Gumball, you don't have an ice cream.

Want to share mine?

Sure.

Dude, this is so gross!

Why don't you pretend you have your own ice cream?

Ugh. Why didn't I think of that?

Friends also high-five, like this.

High-five!

OK, now--

No, I meant slap my--

Let's move on to the next lesson.

How about we all play a game, like friends do?

Here's one we made up.

-It's called dodge or dare! -Dodge or dare!

Roll the dice.

Take a card.

What'd you get?

"Put a gooey hair ball in Miss Simian's lunch."

L-- let me take that. Pick another.

"When Miss Simian's back is turned--"

A-- actually, let me pick one for you.

"Cover Simian in slug juice, drop water balloons on Simian,

Miss Simian, Miss Simian, Miss Simian--"

Forget the cards. Here's a dare.

Make the most annoying noise possible.

OK.

That was good, but we know that you can do better.

Like when you're mad at us.

Oh, you mean this little thing?

Gumball!

That... was... awesome!

High-five!

That still needs a little work.

I've got my eye on you, Simian.

Do it again! Do it again!

I'm so pleased to finally have such great friends!

Aww, we love you, Miss Simian.

Sorry, kids. Miss Simian, can I have a word

with you in private, please?

Yes, Nicole, how can I help you?

Listen, Simian, you might have the rest of them fooled

but I don't trust you for a second.

I remember you from school. I remember the horrible name you

used to call me every day.

Do you remember that?

-Yes, I do. And I'm sorry. -What?

I was that horrid person for so long, and look where it got me.

No friends, no family-- just bitterness and wrinkles.

But even an old ape can change.

Will you give me that chance?

Oh, I don't know. It's all happening so fast.

Please?

OK, I'll-- I'll give it another shot.

What do we do now, best friends?

Uh, let's see. I know!

Best friends write letters to each other about how great they are.

Wow! What a... friendly idea.

What shall we write?

Uh...

How about "We, the aforementioned,

unanimously agree that Miss Simian is worthy

of this year's favorite teacher award."

"Favorite teacher award." OK! Done it!

It's mine!

- -

Look how happy she is.

That's the power of friendship.

Wow! You baked that cake for Miss Simian?

Yeah. I think she deserves a second chance.

-Is Miss Simian around? -Nah, dude.

She just drove off.

You should have seen her, all dancing and laughing,

saying she finally got some losers

to write her a favorite teacher nomination.

What was the word she used?

"Losers."

Nice first steps, loser!

Nice cycling, loser!

Nice "poem," loser!

Nice hair, loser.

Nice husband, loser!

Everyone, get back in the car.

Now?

Soon, the trophy will be mine.

We'll see about that, you two-faced baboon!

There's nothing you can do about it, loser!

Mom! What are you doing?

Something I should have done a long time ago.

Kids, throw stuff at her!

But isn't that dangerous?

Not as dangerous as disobeying your mother!

Sorry!

Open your mouth.

I hope you like pepperoni!

That was close.

Cool!

Not cool!

I thought you were our friend, Miss Simian.

Who needs friends when you have this letter?

Uh... Huh.

There it is, Richard! Get it!

Do what?

I'll get closer, and you lean in and grab it.

Seriously?

Little bit closer, honey!

Almost... there!

-Dad! -Dad!

Hold on!

-Hi. -Five!

Ow. Ow.

Got it! Haha!

Never... trick... my... family... again!

Mom, watch out!
