It isn't denial, it's analysis.

I initially thought it resembled the Kaa scene, but when I rewatched it, I realized it really doesn't. The only thing that the two scenes have in common is that involves a snake coiling around a person. But Gumball doesn't even do it the way Kaa did. And his hypnotic eyes bear more resemblance to that Hannah-Barbera Adam and Eve cartoon. And his way of speaking isn't any different than his usual way of speaking. His voice is not lisped like Kaa's, nor does he sound raspy.

But seriously, look further into it and you'll see that these scenes aren't as similar as you think. I think the case is rather that you may not be familiar with any other depiction. Also, I'm not saying that the trivia should say "this scene references the many depictions of Eve and the serpent" (though I did put it like that at first, but figured that it needed to be re-worded. I mean, it could say "Gumball in this scene bears resemblance to the serpent from Adam and Eve" or something like that). I'm saying that it should either be a correct reference or simply not be there at all. These elements you mentioned may be absent in the Bible itself, but throughout history, the serpent has often been depicted as coiling around Eve, especially in more child-friendly versions. Often in a way that is quite similar to the Gumball scene. But I'm just pointing this out.
