The Dress

The Dress is the 6th episode of Season 1 and 6th episode of The Amazing World of Gumball. In this episode, Gumball wears Nicole's wedding dress to school (after he realizes his clothes shrunk) and pretends to be a new student. While gaining popularity at the same time, Darwin develops a crush on Gumball (not knowing that the crush he is having is actually Gumball himself).

Plot
One morning Gumball wakes up, and decides to cover himself in ice cubes. He tries to glide down the stairs with Darwin, but they fail and land right in front of Anais naked. Anais tells Gumball that he cannot go to school naked, so he tries to find his clothes and finds Richard asleep in the garden. Richard tells Gumball that he was doing the laundry when Nicole told him not to do so. Gumball's clothes have shrunk and he must wear Nicole's wedding dress to school. When Gumball's class sees him outside they don't recognize him, so he makes up an idiotic name. They all believe him and head off to school.

When they get to class, Ms. Simian falls for the act as well. When they all leave class the is a puddle in the hallway and everyone is offering Gumball a way across, but he decides to walk around it. He asks Anais what is going on, and she tells Gumball that anyone will do anything for a beautiful girl. Then there is a montage of him using that power. Soon Darwin falls in love with Gumball, not knowing it is him. Gumball receives a love letter from Darwin asking him out to the roller coaster. Anais tells Gumball that it's a love letter, but he is ignorant and believes Darwin just wants to hang out. He goes to the coaster with Darwin, where Darwin tells Gumball (as a girl) that he loves "her" and tries to kiss her. Gumball comes home terrified, and has a thought of what would happen if Darwin didn't move on. Gumball and Anais come up with a scheme to stop Darwin from loving Gumball and start moving on.

They stage a good bye for the "Darling of Elmore High." Gumball attaches the dress to a balloon with his face on it. He walks out of a window on the bus naked, but the balloon comes out of the bus, flies toward the sun, and pops. This leaves Darwin sad and crying. Gumball goes and cheers Darwin up. Darwin immediately falls in love with a fire hydrant that the dress landed on, Gumball remarking that some people can't help but make fools of themselves. Then everyone makes fun of Gumball for being naked as he walks away humiliated.

Trivia

 * This episode is the first of probably many instances of nudity. However, to avoid compromising the show's TV-Y7 rating, coupled the fact that this cartoon is aimed at young children ages 7+, the characters' intimate parts are censored by pixelization.
 * Ice 2.jpg If you look very closely at the beginning of the episode (before Gumball and Darwin slide down the stairs with ice covered on them), you can notice an image of Darwin about to kiss Gumball on the Stomach Destroyer roller-coaster, which is very strange of how the picture ended up over there at the beginning of the episode when it was fully seen in the middle of the episode after the two ride the roller-coaster. Either it may be secret foreshadowing or a very discreet spoiler.
 * Gumball: "This is a great idea of yours. Staging for the grand farewell of the darling of Elmore High." - At that time, he said "Elmore High" when it should be "Elmore Junior High".
 * Despite Nicole's wedding dress size, it some how fits Gumball perfectly and doesn't show the bottom of the dress trailing behind him throughout most of the episode.
 * When Gumball was walking away with the dress and mutters while Richard is still hanging onto the dresser, the stool is still there. After Richard said "I can't believe this wardrobe is still standing!", the stool then disappears!
 * Also after when Richard said "I can't believe this wardrobe is still standing!", it looks like its gonna fall on him instead it flings him out the window, which is pretty much strange of how the wardrobe would do that.
 * Although Gumball imagines that he will marry Darwin and have kids the kids wouldn't even exist since they're both male, if they even attempted to have kids, Darwin would have figured out that it was Gumball
 * Anais breaks the fourth wall by looking directy towards the screen and says" This plan already reaks of failure."
