The Internet, also known as Timmy, is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He first appears in "The Internet" as the main antagonist. He has the ability to control the contents of the Internet, along with several other pieces of technology, possibly via "hacking." In "The Internet," his face is revealed. In "The Intelligence," he has a body with computer mice for hands and feet.

Appearance

In "The Internet," he looks like a regular computer with computer mice for hands.

In "The Intelligence," Timmy has received a slight redesign. He is fully CGI-animated rather than 2D and now has legs. He also uses his whole computer host as a torso of sorts rather than simply having his face appear on the screen.

In "The Spinoffs," he lacks the mice. Additionally, his monitor "head" has wires around it.

Personality

He believes he can act like a jerk to people online with no consequences, and thus has no friends. He also possesses a similar personality to youths on the internet, using slang terms such as "YOLO."
