The Club

The Club is the 28th episode of The Amazing World of Gumball.

Synopsis
Gumball,Dawin,Anais,Nicole,And Richard See A Rejects Club Video Upload Before It's Too Late.

Plot
The episode starts with the Wattersons visiting Elmore Junior High on a Saturday. Gumball asks why they are there, so Richard excitedly explains that Saturday is club day. He happily rushes off to his Fantasy Club and leaves Gumball with Nicole.

Gumball asks his mother if he could join her club, but she explains that she becomes a different person when she is in her Anger Management Club. Mr. Small, who is apparently president of the club, greets her, but she suddenly lashes out at him for no reason and sends him flying through the door, knocking him unconscious.

Gumball then attempts to join Anais's Physics Club, but she denies him entry since he is not very intelligent. Darwin offers Gumball a chance to be in his club, the Synchronized Swimming club. However, Gumball cannot swim, so they have to deny him entry for his own safety.

Gumball tries joining the Football Club with Banana Joe and Tobias, but the club only consists of hitting each other with wet towels and acting sporty. Hector, who is actually on the Football Team, comes into the locker room and tells them that their team lost, after which he strikes them with a massive towel.

Later in the school corridor, Gumball has completely lost hope of being accepted into a club. Suddenly, the hallway goes dark and ominous voices appear out of nowhere offering Gumball a chance to join their club.

It turns out that the voices belonged to the Reject Club, a club consisting of nerdy social rejects like The Eggheads, Bobert, and Ocho. They desperately plea with Gumball to join their club, but he declines.

That night, Gumball and his family are sitting down at dinner when a brick crashes through their window with a DVD attached. The family sits in fear as the DVD explains that the Rejects Club has developed a shoddily made "embarrassing" video of Gumball's school record and they are planning to send it around the school.

Gumball and his family then went to the library to stop the Reject Club from uploading the video. The door was locked so Nicole asked someone to make her mad, which she then breaks the door apart, leaving her angry issues behind. An Egghead as ambushed, which Richard and the Egghead go on to on with their fantasy battle. Bobert also ambushed, which he transformed into combat mode. Anais goes up against Bobert by static as to rubbing her feet to the ground quickly repeatedly, and shocked Bobert by a touch of her finger. Another Egghead ambushed, which then Darwin turned on some classical music, which seems the Egghead likes to synchronize and dances with him. Gumball approaches to the computer, but as he tries to stop the upload, Ocho came and grabbed him from the top, which Gumball was then too late to upload the video.

At the end while Gumball and his family were driving, Anais has saved Gumball's life by rerouting the email before it could get to anyone. They also managed to catch the Reject Club. It is discovered that Gumball's middle name is Christopher. As for the Reject Club punishment, Gumball and his family agreed to have them naked in the mall.

Trivia

 * One of Gumball's Nano powers in the Cartoon Network MMORPG, "FusionFall", is a double-jump called the "Swan Dive of Eternal Beauty" that is based off of the same dive that appears in this episode.
 * The Eggheads' line "You shall not pass" is a quote from Lord of the Rings, a popular fantasy book/movie series.
 * The battle between Richard and the Egghead is full of references to Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, such as the attack "Magic Missile" and the dice rolling to determine the success of an action.

 * This is the second appearance of Bobert's combat mode. The first appearance was The Robot.
 * It appeared that Anais's not only a former genius but she's also a great hacker, she counter-hacked the main school services and rerouted the email before it got to anyone.
