Plot
The episode begins with Anais rudely awakening her mother, demanding she gets out of bed to take her the 'Daisy the Donkey On Ice' show. Nicole refuses, claiming she's too tired but Anais' guilts her with a tape recording of Nicole contradicting herself by calling any parent denying their child the show a 'bad parent.' Nicole gives in, claiming she will go. Downstairs, Richard is trying out his weight loss machine before Nicole comes down and informs Richard to keep an eye on Gumball and Darwin. Richard reasons that nothing will go wrong since he's here and they're playing Dodge or Dare, contrary to every other time where it resulted in destruction. Outside, Gumball and Darwin play their game in which Gumball is required to throw the bowling ball into the sun using only the trash. After a miscalculation, the ball hits Gumball and ricochets off into the Robinson's space.

Meanwhile, Margaret questions if Gaylord is having a mid-life crisis due to his decision to buy an odd automobile before the ball comes down and smacks off her wig. Gumball and Darwin excitedly look over in the Robinson's yard before admiring the qualities of Mr. Robinson. They come over to retrive the ball before Mr. Robinson scoldes them and tells them that they're playing a new game involving cleaning. The Watterson boys misinturpret the meaning of 'game' in this situation and assume a special game by Gaylord is a privilage to play.

The first game is to clean the back lawn, which they do with realitive ease. Even finding the time to organize each leaf by its type and saving a special one for Gaylord. Mr. Robinson, disappointed, then introduces the second game and demands they cut the lawn with a nail clipper. Gumball and Darwin finish in seconds. The thrid game is to paint the fence blue, much to the humor of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. However, the kids finish before he could do anything. He then demands them to paint the fence a different color which they do in seconds, Gaylord then demands a different color again and again and again until he screams in agony.

Realizing that the outside activities were a failure, he invites the kids inside. He then stains his own carpet, demanding they clean it. Gumball and Darwin do it with ease, to the shock of both the Robinsons. Then Gaylord tries to stain it again, and again, and again before it fails. Gumball and Darwin then offer him a refill for his drink before he grabs the pitcher and throws it. Gumball and Darwin again manage to get it before it actually hits the carpet by Gumball swallowing it.

After being kicked out, Gumball tells Darwin that Mr. Robinson merely hides the fact that he needs help despite his shouting; 'Go Away!' Gumball and Darwin then pester Mr. Robinson by helping him in any and every situation, even sleeping and using the restroom. Gaylord then asks the kids why they're so willing to help in which they reply they love him. Then Gumball and Darwin offer to clean his car, which is granted. Gumball tries to scrub the car before it collapses and burns.The kids then reason they should hide from Mr. Robinson for life,so they hide in the attic of the Watterson's House. Richard overhears them and explains that it was his machine that dented the car. He tried to remove the dents but destroyed the car in the process. Richard then warns that they can't tell Nicole but she appears with Anais settling the situation. She explains she backed into his car when they were pulling out the parking spot, and that's what destroyed the car. She was going to explain to the Robinsons but they were already late. The Wattersons then agree that they should apologize to the Robinsons.

Meanwhile, the Robinsons are harassing the police officer about searching the house for Gumball and Darwin. He explains he doesnt have a warrant so that request is invalid, which enrages the older couple even more. When the Wattersons come out to apologize they're greeted to Gaylord and Margaret vandilizing Richard's car. The officer warns them to stop but Margaret assults him, only to be tazed. Gaylord then tries the same as well, resulting in both him and Margaret being arrested. The Wattersons then watch the Police car drive off, with Richard showing his new and improved body.

 * When Gumball and Darwin are sent to paint the fence they alert the Robinsons through doorbell. Its highly unlikely thats there is a doorbell in the backyard.
 * The 'Tall Street' newspaper Mr. Robinson read was a parody to 'Wall Street Journal.'
 * Apparently if the poster Anais is holding is to be accurate, the time period of this episode is during Summer Vacation. Which means school's out for three months, possibly confirming the idea that the episode have no real date consistancy.
