Synopsis
Darwin is sent to a government institute for geniuses after scoring highly on an aptitude test.
Plot
SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead |
Gumball vows to be accepted into the institute as well, which causes everyone else in the room to laugh mockingly. Gumball leaves Principal Brown's office and goes to the school library to try and study. Meanwhile, Richard and Nicole are outside of the school crying over Darwin, when Rocky comes up to them, carrying a suitcase. They ask what the suitcase is for and Rocky explains that he is having rent problems and does not want to stay with his parents. He asks Nicole and Richard if he can stay at their house for a while, which they allow, but on one condition. Back at the library, Gumball runs into Colin and Felix, who inspire him to inflate his head. After accidentally spitting all over them, he meets Bobert who is surfing the internet. He encourages Gumball to try using "the largest source of information in the world" which Gumball attempts but is unable to open up the browser without Bobert's assistance. After he finally clicks the icon, the sheer magnitude and size of the internet causes his memory to overload; meaning he had to be rebooted by Bobert.
Still trying to make himself smart, Gumball looks around the library and sees Teri, Leslie, and two books, reading books. Gumball finally realizes what he has been needing to do this whole time, watch a book. He finds a book, and sits in between Carmen and Carrie, who are both studiously reading. Gumball attempts to watch his book but needs to ask Carmen for help. She is annoyed by him not knowing that he is supposed to read books, and leaves after explaining this.
Meanwhile, at the house, Rocky is dressed up with fins, green pants and shoes (like Darwin), and Nicole and Richard attend to his every whim. As Rocky wonders why he is wearing the clothes they gave him, Nicole creepily tells him to call them mom and dad.
As Gumball struggles to read, his brain literally decides that it has had enough and leaves through his ear. Gumball pleads his brain not to go, as he cannot possibly pass the test without it. His brain tells him that it is stupid, after which Gumball decides to train him. This kicks off a training montage with Gumball's brain training itself physically until it becomes strong. Gumball and his brain confronts Brown to take the test, but the brain knocks out Principal Brown with a lamp. Later, at the house, when all hope seems lost, a guilt-stricken Anais reveals that she filled out Darwin's aptitude test. Some clipboard men come to return Darwin after they found out Darwin was not the one who had filled out the aptitude test and demand they give them the real genius. To protect Anais, Gumball's brain says that Rocky filled out the test, and they take him away. At the very end of the episode, Rocky is seen being begged to solve an equation, but refuses to do so until he gets everything he wants.

Trivia
- Darwin is rarely seen in this episode, and only has one line of dialogue, despite the plot being about him.
- A "Gluteus Maximus" is a muscle that makes up the shape and appearance of the posterior, which means Gumball was called a butt.
Continuity
- In this episode, the other Wattersons do not know that Anais is a genius, yet in "The Goons," they all seem to be fully aware of this. The only logical explanation is that "The Genius" chronologically takes place before "The Goons."
Cultural references
- During the training montage, Gumball shows pictures of famous scientists for Gumball's brain to break. One of these is a picture of Charles Darwin, who is Darwin's namesake. The other two are Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
- After Gumball's brain crashes, the Macintosh SE/30 startup sound is played.
- The song "You Gotta Think Big" is a parody of Huey Lewis and the News song "Hip to Be Square."
- Towards the end of the episode, when Gumball's brain tries to convince the clipboard men that Rocky is the genius, Gumball tells them his brain is "insane in the membrane," a reference to Cypress Hill's 1993 hit "Insane in the Brain."
Goofs/errors
- When Anais tells the family that it was her who filled out Darwin's aptitude test, Gumball's whiskers vanish.
- The speaker tells Darwin to write the answer with a dry erase board marker when the board clearly had chalk.
- In the episode "The Gi," Gumball was seen using the Internet, but in this episode, he does not know what it is.
- When the Wattersons and Principal Brown laugh at Gumball, Principal Brown's tongue is missing and Anais' mouth is discolored.
- When the family says "Rocky?" the ink on Darwin's face disappears, then reappears when they go to the front yard.
- When Gumball peeks at the eggheads through the library shelf, his eyebrows are gone. Also in that same scene, Gumball's nose is discolored yellow.
- One of the clipboard men removes the face of the other to see a warrant, but in the next scene, the clipboard man's face is back on.
- When the computer crashes, it incorrectly spells "programme" (the British spelling of "program") as "programe."
- When Nicole says "What makes you think I'll let you take away my son?!" a quarter of Richard's right ear is missing.
- When Gumball goes past Bobert while leaving a trail of saliva, the line on Bobert's right side is gone.
- After the researchers tell Rocky that he would be able to live at their research center for free, the popcorn he is holding in the subsequent shot is not rendered properly.
- When Gumball is on the internet, his whiskers are missing.

You Can't Take Away Our Son!
- [The episode starts out showing inside Principal Brown's office, as Richard is weeping by the desk]
- Richard: How can you take Darwin away from us?!
- Nigel Brown: Well it seems he scored a hundred percent in his aptitude test. This has never happened before, so I had to tell the government.
- Gumball: The government?
- Nigel Brown: Yes, they want to test him out. Study his brain, probe it, dissect it. That kind of thing.
- [The scene switches to Darwin with an equation on a chalk board]
- Clipboard Man: [Via surveillance camera] Please resolve the following equation using the marker pen provided.
- [Darwin wipes marker ink all over his face]
- [The scene switches back to Elmore Jr. High School]
- Nigel Brown: It's best they take him away. He'd make the rest of you feel stupid.
- Richard: I guess he's got a point.
- Anais: So, you put clever people in quarantine like they're some sort of contagious pathological disease?
- Nigel Brown: Hmmm... maybe there's more than one genius in this family.
- Anais: [Gasps] What I meant was, ugh... [Pulls down her ears and blows a raspberry, then chants "la la la la", and blows another raspberry]
- Nigel Brown: [Wipes his glasses] Apparently not.
- Anais: Phew!
- Nicole: What makes you think I'll let you take away my son?!
- Nigel Brown: Well, technically, you're not his parents. He's registered as a... pet fish.
- Nicole: [Worried, then sits back down] Richard, what are we going to do?
- Nigel Brown: Get a new pet fish?
- Richard: I'll save you, my little fish boy! [Runs into a closet]
- Nigel Brown: Mr. Watterson, that is a stationary closet.
- [Richard walks out of the closet and sits back down sadly]
- Gumball: Can we visit him?
- Nigel Brown: Nooo.
- Nicole: Are you saying we'll never see Darwin again?
- Nigel Brown: Yup.
- Gumball: Then I'll go with him by proving I am a genius, too!
- [Principal Brown, Nicole, Richard and Anais laugh mockingly at Gumball and he walks out of Principal Brown's office]
- Gumball: I need to become intelligent right now! Quick, Gumball! To the liberray! The libararara! The... libarium? Eh, the place where the nerds hangs out.
- [Scene changes to the school's exterior, where Richard and Nicole are crying]
- Richard: [Cries] I had so much more love to give.
- Nicole: [Zooms to Darwin photo] No one will ever be able to replace him.
- Rocky: Hey dudes.
- [Darwin's photo descends, revealing Rocky]
- Richard: Oh, hi Rocky. What's with the suitcase? [Sniffs]
- Rocky: Oh, I kinda got rent troubles and I don't wanna stay with parents. Hey. Can I crash at your place? Please. [Begs]
Library
- [At the school library]
- Gumball: Hmm... I gotta find something that will make me smart. [Turns] What do you reckon, Darwin? [Remembers Darwin is not around] Oh, right. [A tumbleweed passes by]
- Felix: Oh look! Salsola collina! More commonly known as Russian thistle, wind-witch, or if you're really stupid, a tumbleweed!
- [Both Eggheads laughing]
- Colin: I love being smart.
- Gumball: That's it! I need a bigger head!
- [Gumball takes a deep breath and blows into his thumb, causing his head to inflate like a balloon ]
- Felix: Inconceivable. Mass will always held a special place in my time table.
- [Gumball with his head inflated bounds in]
- Colin and Felix: Greetings, fellow crusader of knowledge!
- Felix: What's your favorite subject, hmph?
- Gumball: [Unintelligible]
- Felix: Calculus?
- Gumball: [Unintelligible]
- Colin: Trigonometry?
- Gumball: [Unintelligible]
- Colin: Eh? Eh? Come on, spit it out.
- [Gumball bursts and splatters both Eggheads with spit, then slides backwards]
- Colin: That guy is such a Gluteus Maximus.
The Internet
- [Gumball pops up in front of a computer, with Bobert next to him]
- Gumball: Hey Bobert. Whatcha' doing?
- Bobert: I'm on the internet, the largest source of knowledge in the world. Why don't you get connected?
- Gumball: [Uses mouse as a telephone] Uh, hi, hello. Is this the Internet?
- Bobert: [Sighs] You need to click the icon.
- Gumball: [Mocks Bobert by imitating him] Which one is the icon?
- Bobert: Dude, it's the only thing on the screen.
- Gumball: I knew that.
- [Gumball clicks Internet icon and the computer shows an endless stream of pop-ups]
- Gumball: Wooaaah! [Laughs] This is beautiful! I can feel it! I'm totally learning something-thing-thing-thing...
- [Gumball glitches out and a blue screen of death appears, indicating Gumball has "crashed", then disappears as Gumball groggily gets to his arms]
- Gumball: [Strained] What... happened?
- Bobert: Your memory could not cope. You crashed. I had to reboot you.
- Gumball: [Annoyed] Oh come on! There's gotta be something in this library making people smart.
- [Scene changes to Teri]
- Teri: This is such a great, book!
- Leslie: I'd like to borrow this, book, please?
- Dictionary and Thesaurus: [Reading each other] Book book book book, book book book, ahh booook.
- Gumball: Ahh that's it, they are all watching books.
Gumball's Brain
- [Gumball sits between Carmen and Carrie, then he puts out a book and watching it]
- Gumball: [Whispers to Carmen] Hey.
- Carmen: Shh.
- Gumball: [Whispers] Hey.
- Carmen: Shhhh.
- Gumball: [Whispers] Hey.
- Carmen: Shhhhhhhh.
- Gumball: I think my book is broken. I've been watching for ages and I'm still not smart.
- Carmen: [Facepalms] You don't watch books. You read them.
- Gumball: Shh. People are trying to work.
- [Carmen leaves the table with her book]
- Gumball: Okay, brain, let's get reading. [Inhales] Once... u-pon... a.. ti-i-i-me--
- Gumball's brain: That's it. I'm outta here. [Deploys a ladder out of Gumball's ear] I've had enough. I'm off to watch TV.
- Gumball: Hey. Where do you think you're going?
- Gumball's brain: I didn't sign up for this. I quit.
- Gumball: You can't quit. There's no way I'm gonna pass a test without a brain. Please. I need you.
- Gumball's brain: We'll never pass. I'm stupid.
- Gumball: Then— then, I'm going to make you smart, like Darwin!
- [Inside the government facility]
- Clipboard Man: Uh, sir? You appear to have a bit... ink on your face?
- [Darwin turns around to show his face, covered in ink]
The Watterson's House
- Nicole: Are you sure there's nothing else you want, honey?
- Richard: Ask for anything.
- Rocky: Well, uh, can I have two cans of soda?
- Nicole: Quick, Richard! The fridge!
- [Richard quickly runs to the kitchen]
- Rocky: Oh, and some jellybeans. But only the yellow ones!
- Richard: Okay!
- [Rocky questions Nicole while he wears green underwear and shoes]
- Rocky: Uh, are you sure there's nothing else to wear, Mrs. Watterson?
- Nicole: Please honey, You can call us "Mom" and "Dad."
Training
- [Scene cuts to the School Library. Gumball's Brain can be heard crying]
- Gumball: Read it!
- Gumball's brain: I can't! [Crying]
- Gumball: Read it!
- Gumball's brain: It's too difficult! Don't make me!
- Gumball: Aren't you tired of being so useless? Years and years of insults and abuse! Remember...
- [Zooms in to Gumball's Brain. Visions of Miss Simian, Banana Joe and Principal Brown appear and insult Gumball's Brain]
- Lucy Simian: Another "F" for you, Pea Brain!
- Banana Joe: [Laughs] Doofus!
- Nigel Brown: Loser!
- [The three of them laugh and disappear]
- Gumball's brain: Okay, I'm ready.
- Gumball: Then prove it.
- [Gumball's Brain opens a book and performs a chop, but ends up hurting himself]
- Gumball: This may take a while.
- Gumball's brain: [Falls]
- [They perform a song while Gumball's Brain gets stronger]
- Man: I was a feeble minded guy. I'd slip on ice and wonder why.
- So many obstacles were thrown my way, on a downward slide each and every day.
- But something popped inside my brain. I got up to fight that fight again.
- And I knew what to do. I went through the mental pain.
- You gotta think big, think deep.
- Pretty soon you'll make that quantum leap.
- Think big, think smart. Make your brain your finest body part!
- The greatest minds from yesterday, will be crushed to dust 'cause I'm on my way.
- (Big, big, big) You gotta think big!
- [Gumball and his Brain freeze frame while jumping. Idaho walks by, and wonders why they are doing that, but he shrugs it off]
What the?
- [Scene cuts inside Principal Brown's office while he's enjoying his coffee, when suddenly Gumball surprises him]
- Gumball: I want to take the aptitude test!
- Nigel Brown: Hmmph! You don't have the brain of the genius, Watterson.
- Gumball: We'll see about that. Come on, brain! Show Principal Brown what you can do.
- [Gumball's Brain grabs a desk light and swings it at Principal Brown, knocking him unconscious]
- Gumball: What the—? What is wrong with you?! I meant do an equation or something.
- Gumball's brain: Oh. Sorry.
Back in the Watterson's House
- [Scene cuts inside Watterson's house with Rocky walking around]
- Anais: [Looks at Gumball's brain] I always pictured it a little smaller.
- Gumball's brain: I've been working out.
- [Rocky sits with Anais and Gumball]
- Rocky: Hey, dudes, want some popcorn? [Shouts to the kitchen] Dad, can I borrow Mom's car tonight?
- Richard: Sure, son. Anything you like.
- Rocky: Man, my dad is a righteous dude.
- [Gumball notices Rocky's strange attire]
- Gumball: Mom? What's going on here?
- Nicole: Oh. Well, this is your new brother: Rockwin.
- Rocky: 'Sup?
- Gumball: You're kidding, right?
- Nicole: Come on. Let's just all give it a try. Just for a moment. [Humming]
- [Brief pause]
- Gumball: [Shouts] It's not working!
- Nicole: [Sighs] You're right. It's not.
- Richard: [Interrupts Nicole] Just a minute. [Hums, then stops] No, it's not working.
- Gumball: [Crying] I miss Darwin so much.
- [Everyone starts sighing, except Anais. Then Anais interrupts]
- Anais: All right! It was me!
- Gumball: What?
- Anais: It was me who filled out Darwin's aptitude test. I found it on the TV guide. I should be the one taken away.
- Gumball, Nicole, Richard, and Gumball's brain: So Darwin's not a genius?
- Anais: No. I am.
- [Suddenly the doorbell rings. They open the door and see Darwin]
- Gumball, Richard, Nicole and Anais: Darwin!
- Darwin: Hello!
- Clipboard Men: We believe this, is yours.
- [Darwin steps inside the house]
- Anais: Yay!
- Gumball: Welcome back, buddy!
- Nicole: I missed you so much.
- Anais: Don't ever go away again.
- Richard: What a conveniently happy ending.
Happy Ending?
- [The door starts to close, but a Clipboard Man prevents the door from closing with his leg]
- Clipboard Man: Not so fast.
- [Everyone gasps]
- Richard: Hey. I said it was a happy ending.
- Clipboard Man: You still owe us one genius.
- Gumball: What do you mean?
- Clipboard Man: Well, it's obvious he didn't take that test.
- [Darwin gives a stupid look]
- Clipboard Man: But someone in this house did, [Rips off the other Clipboard Man's paper, showing a Warrant] and this warrant says that we get to take that person away.
- [Everyone gasps again]
- Clipboard Man: Who is it?
- [They begin to get anxious]
- Gumball's brain: Ahem. I know who it is.
- Gumball: [Gasps] Be quiet. Don't listen to him. He's insane in the membrane.
- Gumball's brain: Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.
- Gumball: No, you don't. You're stupid. We've established that.
- Clipboard Man: Let the brain speak.
- [A heartbeat sound can be heard as each person's worried face is shown. Then cuts to Rocky drinking soda and creating the heartbeat-like sound]
- Rocky: [Burps] Sorry.
- Gumball's brain: The person who took the test was... H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h— him! [Points at Rocky]
- Rocky: Huh?
- [Everyone surprised]
- Rocky: Me?
- Gumball's brain: [Winks]
- Rocky: Oh. Yeah, I took that test.
- Clipboard Man: Then get your suitcase. You're coming to the research center.
- Rocky: What, you mean like, for free?
- Clipboard Man: Well of course.
- Rocky: Eh, definitely beats my parents' place.
- [Scene cuts inside the car with Rocky in it]
- Rocky: Oh, and I'm gonna need a hot tub, too. 'Cause I do most of my thinking in the bath.
- [The car leaves]
- Gumball: See ya, Rocky.
- Nicole: Bye, Rocky.
- Richard: Bye.
- Gumball: That was really smart, Brain. Darwin's back home.
- Gumball's brain: Can I come home too?
- Gumball: Are you kidding me? Get in there, little dude.
- Gumball's brain: Whoo-hoo. [Enters Gumball's head]
- Gumball: High five.
- Gumball's brain: Ha. [High fives Gumball from his ear]
- [Scene changes inside the research facility with Rocky in it]
- Rocky: Oh, and a pepperoni pizza?
- Clipboard Man: Then will you solve the equation?
- Rocky: Yeah, yeah. After my pedicure.
