The Saint and The Ex. They were both episodes where they abandoned character integrity for the sake of comedy, and honestly I will not go as far as to say I hate the episodes, but they're just really off-putting to watch, and they re-enforce what began to irk me late S2-onwards with Gumball's character, and even when Season 4 and 5 felt like a return to form, The Ex just felt like it fractured the over-arching plot for the sake of comedy. At the same time though... I can see why it would be liked. For late adaptors to the show who started S3 onwards, who like that cynical part of Gumball's character. There's also the "I will Always love you" parody scene which was a great reference, and also a moment I see someone's reasonings for enjoying. It's like you said on your blog once--  it was a way to introduce Rob back into the show, but if they've not got something planned, I consider the interesting plot they had fractured, and really hope that it's turned around. Even if it means at the end of the series. It's going to be a shame in retrospect if they don't.
