The Amazing World of Gumball

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

No!

What are you doing?!

I was trying to fix the roof, and you saved me.

Uh, no, I just saved my skateboard.

Oh, is that what this thing is?

Yeah, why? What did you use it for?

Uh...

Hmm.

Stop right there!

Oof!

Hmm.

I've been using it for that thing Gumball said...

Land surfing.

Skateboarding, Dad.

Yeah, but that still doesn't explain

why you own a skateboard.

Uh, duh! 'Cause I'm a skater!

What? Why is everyone laughing?

I'm pretty sure Mr. Dad is laughing

so he doesn't feel left out.

But the others are laughing because you're clearly a poseur.

Oh! Oh!

What do you mean I'm a poseur?

Well, I've never seen you ride a skateboard before.

Yeah, there's a lot of things you've never seen me do.

You mean like how I've never seen you from profile?

What do you mean?

Well, like, how you always hold your head

at a three-quarter angle because you look weird otherwise.

I don't see how that proves I'm a poseur.

So you're saying you're a skater?

Totally.

So you can skate?

Uh, uh, yes?

So if I were to ask you to do a trick right now

with this very board, you could?

Sure?

Awesome! Then you can teach me!

What are you wearing?!

What's wrong?

Dude, you don't wear safety stuff.

You just carry it with you at all times so people know

you're choosing not to wear it.

But what if I hurt myself bad?

Then you get to feature in Elmore Streams'

fail compilation of the week.

What if I hurt myself really, really bad?

Then you get to feature in Elmore Streams'

fail compilation of the month.

Don't worry.

Before you can even get on the board,

you need to look the part.

Skaters wear, like, rags and shoelaces for belts

because their identities can't be bought.

Where do they get their clothes from, then?

The thrift store?

No, from the skate shop.

What's the difference?

Everything costs 10 times as much.

Ha! You sad conformist drone!

Ha! You sad conformist drone!

That's right.

Okay, now we have to figure out

whether you ride goofy or regular.

I do feel kind of goofy right now.

I'm talking about how you stand on the board, dude.

Do you lead with your left foot or with your right foot?

I believe all feet were created equal.

Okay, which foot do you write with?

What?

Okay, just let yourself fall forward.

What was that?

I thought that was some kind of skater trust exercise.

It was a test to see which foot you would

put forward first and... Ah, okay, do it again.

You said, "Do it again."

Forget it.

Come on. Let's roll.

I meant it like let's split, dude.

Oh, sorry.

So who invented skateboarding?

No one really knows the true history.

Its origins are clouded in the mystery of many concussions.

Dude, it's okay to say, "I don't know,"

or, "I'll look it up online later."

Of course I know. It all started a long time ago.

There he is, Lord Hamilton...

The ruffian who stole your pocket watch.

Crimany!

I need to find a way to escape from these here gentlemen.

Maybe there's something I can use in this alley.

There's nowhere to run, scallywag!

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

- Got ya! - Aah!

Take that! And that!

I say, chaps.

I wager one could fashion some sort of vehicle from these.

Capital idea, old boy.

Good day to you, sir.

Good day to you.

Very good day, sir.

Oh, wonderful.

Toodle-pip.

That story sounds like

a load of poppycock, m'lad.
