The Amazing World of Gumball

Bill overdue, final notice, noise complaint,

traffic violation, cease and desist,

restraining order...

Dad, what are we supposed to do with all this? Well...

paper can be used in many creative ways

and turned into a lot of interesting things,

like a duck...

or fashion...

inventions...

and other... things.

Come on!

There's got to be at least one good letter!

Actually, yeah. We've got an invitation.

Huh? We've never had one of those before.

That's not true.

I've been invited to court several times.

No, it's from the mayor.

He wants us to go to the town hall for a surprise?

Maybe they'll reveal a statue of me.

Why would they be making a statue of you?

I sit a lot,

which makes me a pretty reliable life model.

And I'm a great example to people.

They're more likely to make some kind of example of you.

Maybe they've cleared up that legal grey area

about whether I'm a feral animal or your child.

Oh, honey, you're the same as all my kids...

A combination of both.

I guess we'll just have to go and find out.

Go, Wattersons, go!

Go, Wattersons, go!

I don't want to say I told you so,

because I won't be heard over all of this cheering...

So I'll shout it instead.

I told you so!

Welcome!

Our Social Services have decided

to offer you a new house!

Impossible.

What's the catch? There's always a catch.

There's only a few Compulsory Additional Terms,

Conditions, and Hypothecations...

Or C.A.T.C.H.es for short!

What do you mean?

Well, the people of Elmore

thought you deserved a brand-new house in a brand-new state

with brand-new neighbors who can put up with you,

a brand-new police force to deal with you,

and a brand-new court system to prosecute you.

That sounds more like a punishment than a reward.

No one said it was a reward.

They said it's what you deserve.

But that's like banishing us!

Think of it more like witness protection.

We're just protecting people from witnessing you ever again!

Go, Wattersons, go! Go, Wattersons, go!

Kind of feels less encouraging when you can see their faces.

They want us to move to Ohio?!

The home state of eight people who became president

just so they didn't have to stay living there?!

I never realized our neighbors hated us so much.

A few rotten tomatoes in the face, sure,

a few "No Dogs or Wattersons" signs in store windows,

fair enough.

The occasional light-hearted arson attack,

harsh, but fair. But get rid of us?!

Let's be honest... We're the only family in town

to have somehow committed a crime

in every category of misdemeanor.

Go, Wattersons!

It's not a good thing, Dad!

If you're going to do something wrong, do it right!

Just look at this crime map.

All of this is us. Public nudity...

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

...wasting 911 resources...

911 dispatch, how can I help?

I've got a pain in my chest. It's my heart!

Oh, for the last time, kid, being heartbroken

because elephants can't jump is not a medical emergency.

...parking violations...

Hmm?

...vandalism...

Hmm... a bit obvious, don't you think?

The hand-crafted, effortful creation

of each individual porcelain seed

queries the modern phenomena of mass production

and replication.

Am I right?

You're right.

If only people would get to know the real us.

Ha! Take that, science!

I don't think Mom meant the real, real us, obviously.

More like the Elmogram super-filtered avatar

hat requires 45 takes

to get it as flattering as possible.

So, our fake selves, then?

Yes.

If people could only get to know the fake-real us.

Let's show our neighbors how nice we are

when we're not being ourselves.

Thank you for your help, but please be careful.

If I get a good price for this cabinet,

it's hello two-week luxury cruise!

Don't worry, Marvin! I'm sure your cabinet

will have a great vacation. Okay, Dad!

Are you ready on your end? Got it!

Here it comes!

That was a long detour, but at least that man

got to see his grandmother one last time in Nebraska.

Wait. Didn't he say Nevada?

Hmm?

Who said, "The object of art is to give life a shape"?

Uh...

Psst!

That's right, Shakespeare... Oh.

Hmm. Hmm.

Here, take it.

Okay.

It came with a two-year warranty.

Okay.
