Messaging the Wrong Person[]

[The episode begins with Gumball whistling as he finishes a new version of his poster, dragging a picture of Bobert onto his tongue]
Gumball: That... looks like a winning team. Now all I have to do is ask him!
[He opens Elmore Plus and goes to message Bobert, but accidentally selects Banana Joe instead without realizing]
Gumball: [Texting] Hey, Bobert. Was wondering if you wanted to be my running mate?
Banana Joe: [Texting] HAHA! It's not Bobert!
Gumball: [Texting] Oh, darn it, sorry Banana Joe. Wrong B.
Banana Joe: [Texting] Nuh-uh! I'll "B" your running mate! So, where we running to?
Gumball: [Texting] No, I mean for the school elections! [He sends an image of the school election poster] As my veep!
Banana Joe: [Texting] Say whaaa?
Gumball: [Texting] My V.P..
Banana Joe: [Texting] Say whaaaaa?
Gumball: [Texting] My vice president!

Square or Trendsetter[]

Banana Joe: [Texting] Say whaaaaaaa- oh I get it. But don't pick Bobert! [He sends an image of Bobert] He's such a...
[Banana Joe sends a picture of a cardboard box]
Gumball: ...a box?
Banana Joe: Ehhhh, I couldn't find a picture of a square.
Gumball: But Bobert really isn't that square, you know. He's a trendsetter! [He sends a video of Bobert in the library] He was the one who first taught me about the internet!
[Gumball plays the video, and a clip from "The Genius" plays]
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...

[He continues to repeat the word as he freezes and duplicates multiples times, as if he had crashed. The clip ends]
Gumball: [Texting] And since then I've never looked back! Imagine what I'd be without Elmore Plus, [He sends a picture of his SnapChap from "The Nuisance"] SnapChap, [He sends the saxophone chihuahua video] Stream-It, [He sends a clip of him playing Galaktrek] Galaktrek...
Banana Joe: [Texting] Physically fit with a sun tan?
Gumball: Yeah, [He sends an image of his hand, with his outstretched finger looking like a muscular arm and fist] but my fingers are ripped.

A Literal Thinker[]

[Gumball checks his watch]
Gumball: 'Kay, I better get a move on and ask him before someone-
Banana Joe: [Texting] Wait a minute, though! How are you gonna handle him taking things literally all the time?
[The scene flashes into a clip from "The Loophole"]
Gumball: I just want to skip the whole hassle of life. You get it, right, Bobert?
Bobert: Computing request. [Playing Gumball's request] "I just want to skip the whole hassle of life." Command integrated. Terminating Gumball's life.
[Bobert shoots a laser at Gumball's head, causing it to disappear. Gumball's head grows back and he puts out the fire on top of it. The scene flashes again to another scene from later on in the same episode]
Gumball: Oh my gosh he's choking! Just save him!
Bobert: In what manner would you like Darwin to be saved?
Gumball: It doesn't matter, just pick one!
[Bobert lifts Darwin and his hand extends to send air inside of him. The air causes Darwin to inflate, but successfully rids him of the obstructing food. Each time he opens his mouth, he deflates a little. This happens four times]
Gumball: Why on Earth would you choose such an undignified method?!
Bobert: I used a random algorithm in accordance to your command.
[Gumball touches Darwin, causing him to explode. The explosion causes the scene to flash to another from "The Joy." Miss Simian and Bobert approach each other]
Lucy Simian: You better run, you're late for class! [Bobert begins to run] No running in the halls!
Bobert: Command unachievable, assessing personal level of utilities: zero percent, system obsolete, engaging self-destruct.
[He blows a fuse. The scene pauses just as he does]

Frequent Self-Destruction[]

Gumball: Good point. And he does kinda default to self-destruct mode.
Banana Joe: Nyuh-huh. The dude counts backwards better than he does forwards!
[The scene cuts to a clip from "The Bet."]
Bobert: Initiating countdown!
Gumball: Oh, great, he's gonna self-destruct. Even when I'm right, I'm wrong.
Bobert: Ten...
Gumball: Please tell me that's minutes and not seconds.
Darwin: Get me out of here!
Bobert: Nine...
[Gumball tries to lift the bookshelf back up but struggles]
Bobert: Eight...
Gumball: Dude, I've got a plan. It involves me running out that door.
[Darwin smiles]
Gumball: The problem is only one of us survives.
[Darwin frowns]
Gumball: What? you got a better idea?
Bobert: Seven...
Darwin: Defuse him!
Gumball: What? Like, water him down?
Darwin: No, not dilute, defuse! Like a bomb!
Bobert: Six...
Gumball: Hmm, do you have one of those tiny, tiny screwdrivers? No? Oh, well.
Bobert: Five...
Gumball: Who would have thought that it would all end like this, huh?
Darwin: There's still five seconds to do something!
Bobert: Four...
[Gumball is seen laying back on the fallen bookshelf]
Darwin: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Gumball: I'm waiting until he gets to three so I get that super strength you get in life-threatening situations.
Bobert: Three...
Gumball: [Struggling to lift bookshelf again] Not gonna happen.
Bobert: Two...
Gumball: So, I guess it's time for some good last words, huh?
Bobert: One...
[Gumball inhales to say something, but sighs and shrugs]

Keeping Safe with Your New Bobert[]

Banana Joe: [Laughs, then texts] You'll be lucky to survive 'til polling day!
Gumball: [Texting] He comes with a safety video. Just need to watch that.
[Gumball loads up and plays the video, titled "Keeping safe with your new Bobert." As the narrator explains each rule of safety regarding Bobert, various shots of a camera panning around a Bobert 6B model are shown]
Safety Video Narrator: Keeping safe with your new Bobert 6B. Rule one, avoid anything involving punching.
[A clip of Gumball and Darwin playing with Bobert from "The Third" is shown]
Bobert: So, how do we play this game, "punchies"?
Gumball: It's easy! You just give each other friendly digs in the arm. Like this! [Punches Bobert and hurts his own hand] Ahhhh!
Bobert: Your turn has terminated. Commencing my turn. [Retracts his arm and punches Gumball]
Gumball: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!
[Gumball smashes through a wall and slams into the lockers, falling flat on the floor]
Safety Video Narrator: Rule two, avoid anything involving kicking.
[A clip from "The Robot" is shown. Bobert is sitting on the bench, when a ball rolls towards him]
Tobias​​: Hey, Bobert! Kick it over! Come on, dude!
[Bobert kicks the ball as he was asked to, but the kick is so powerful that the ball soars straight into the sun. The scene then cuts to a shot from "The Question" of the sun exploding]
Safety Video Narrator: Rule three, avoid anything involving running.
[A clip of Gumball and Darwin testing Bobert's new features from "The Upgrade" is shown]
Bobert​: Would you like to try my running app?
Gumball: How does that work?
[Bobert points two lasers at Gumball and Darwin's heads]
Bobert​: [Deep voice] Run.
[Bobert starts shooting lasers at Gumball and Darwin, forcing them to run]
Gumball: How is this improving our health?!
Bobert​: You have run three miles and burned twenty thousand calories. Goal achieved.
Safety Video Narrator: Rule four, avoid using ambiguous language.
[A clip from "The Bet" is shown]
Gumball: As long as I don't say, "Bobert, terminate Gumball" or whatever, it's fine.
Bobert: [Replays Gumball's voice] Bobert, terminate Gumball.
[Bobert's eye glows red. Gumball and Darwin run away as he begins firing lasers in their direction. They scream and fall into the cafeteria as Bobert shoots down the doors]
Darwin: Wait! I have an idea!
[As Bobert walks into the cafeteria, Darwin is crying over a turkey from the freezer dressed in Gumball's shirt]
Darwin: Look at what you've done...
[Bobert scans the turkey]
Darwin: He was all I had.
[Gumball is seen inside the freezer, unaware of Miss Simian behind him]
Gumball: Come on, come on, come on, take the bait.
Lucy Simian: [Hugs Gumball] I'm sorry, Watterson. I know this isn't appropriate, but I just need to warm up.
[Gumball runs out of the freezer]
Gumball: AAAAHHH! Get off! Get off! Get off! [Takes his shirt off the turkey and runs off while Bobert fires lasers at him]
Lucy Simian: Wait! I'm so cold!
[Bobert fires a laser beam at Miss Simian and sets her on fire]
Safety Video Narrator: Rule five, never provoke him to turn into Mega Bobert.
[A clip of Bobert transforming from "The Stories" is shown]
Bobert: Engaging defense protocol.
[Bobert activates his combat mode, becoming much larger and gaining several laser cannons]
Safety Video Narrator: No, really. Never provoke him to turn into Mega Bobert.
[A clip of Mega Bobert attacking Gumball from "The Robot" is shown. Bobert starts shooting laser beams, Gumball evades them all; finally Bobert shots an enormous beam creating a nuclear-like explosion]
Safety Video Narrator: Rule six, if you get into difficulties with somebody bigger, provoke him to turn into Mega Bobert.
[A clip of Tina and Bobert fighting from "The Stories" is shown. Tina charges at him, and they grapple. It then cuts to a scene from "The Apology" of a giant Bobert and Tina firing lasers at each other, causing an explosion. The scene freezes as Banana Joe interrupts]

Other Cool Features[]

Banana Joe: [Texting] Maybe just ask him to be your bodyguard?
Gumball: [Texting] What, and miss out on all his other cool features?
[A clip of Gumball and Darwin ride on Bobert's back from "The Agent" is shown]
Gumball: Of course! There's a homing device in my flower!
Bobert: No, it's in my arms. And they're heading to the school!
[They exit the sewer via a manhole next to the Robinsons' backyard, and rocket upward into the the sky]
Bobert: I'm in control! [His battery dies] But out of gas.
[Bobert releases Gumball and Darwin as the three begin to plummet toward the water below]
Gumball: I can't swim!!
Bobert: You won't have to!
[Bobert dives in and morphs into a submarine of sorts. Gumball is inside him while Darwin swims beside them.]
Gumball: Oh, wait, what does this button do?
Bobert: Nonono—
[Gumball shoots out of the water. Bobert and Darwin fly beside him]
Bobert: It's the ejector seat.
[Gumball starts falling. Bobert and Darwin fly after him]
Bobert: Mayday! Mayday!
[Bobert turns into a parachute, before the scene is interrupted again by Banana Joe]

Quirks and Glitches[]

Banana Joe: [Texting] Okay, so he's got a parachute, a jetpack, and a submarine. But is he any fun? Can he do this?
[Banana Joe posts a clip of himself making fart sounds with his armpit from "The Third"]
Gumball: He can go one better.
[A clip from "The Bet" of Bobert shooting flames out of his butt is shown]
Bobert: Do you have anything for this?
[Cuts back to the library]
Gumball: [Texting] Okay Joe, I really must get on and ask him before-
Banana Joe: [Texting] WAIT wait wait wait, what about when he gets a software glitch?
[A clip of Tobias uploading a virus onto Bobert from "The One" is shown; Bobert is shown walking through the corridor at school. Tobias appears behind Bobert and inserts a USB killer into his back. Bobert then goes crazy, with virus popups appearing in his view. The scene then cuts to a clip from "The Buddy" of Anais and Jamie interrogating Bobert]
Bobert: I do no-no-not have a glitch!
Anais: Really? 'Cause you look pretty faulty to me.
Bobert: I feel a-absolutely f-f-fine.
Anais: Then, how do you explain your little wardrobe malfunction?
[The cover of Bobert's bottom slides down, and up]
Bobert: This could n-not get any more embarrassing. [Oil squirts out.]
Gumball: [Texting] It's no problem, I can just wipe him.
Banana Joe: [Texting] Eww!
Gumball: [Texting] No, I mean reinstall his software and upgrade him!
[A scene of Bobert being updated from "The Upgrade" is shown]
Bobert: System upgrade complete.
Gumball and Darwin: YEEES!
Gumball: Okay, okay. What's new? What can you do?
Bobert​: My screen display now has a mild three-dimensional effect.
Gumball and Darwin: Oooh.
Gumball: What else?
Bobert​: My camera has new photo filters.
Gumball: Oh! Oh! Show us!
[Bobert takes a picture of them. Gumball swipes through various filters]
Darwin: Nice! It's got a bro mode.
[Gumball slides to a photo with he and Darwin's faces edited onto muscular bodies]
Gumball: Oh, post-workout mode.
Darwin: Ooh, what's the guilty pleasure filter?
[Gumball slides to a photo with him and Darwin's faces edited onto a mug of coffee and a muffin]
Darwin: That's amazing! But there will never be a filter that replaces people's quirky individuali- ty...
[While he is talking, Gumball slides to another photo, showing him and Darwin standing in front of a brick wall, with their upper lips covered by human fingers with mustaches drawn on]
Darwin: Huh, what do you know?
[The scene then freezes]

Lack of Humanity[]

Banana Joe: Yeah, but that's just algorithms! Bobert's got no bananarity!
Gumball: What? Oh, you mean humanity! Hmmm...
[A clip from "The Party" is shown]
Darwin: What's a date?
Bobert: [Rises] Date, D-A-T-E, social activity undertaken by two people to assess their suitability for a relationship. [Lowers, then rises again] It is also a fruit that makes you poop. [Lowers again]
[Next, a clip from "The Robot" is shown]
Gumball: Look, man. If you wanna be a real boy, you gotta be cooler than that. A lot cooler!
Bobert: Commencing temperature adjustment. [starts cooling himself with a small fan coming out of his body]
Gumball: Bobert, [turns off the fan] just do as I do.
[Gumball walks around like a rapper while a rap-like music sounds]
Gumball: Go ahead.
[Bobert tries to do the same but he treads very heavily]
Gumball: Aw, come on! Give it a bit more... Bounce! Like this!
[The same rap-like music sounds. Gumball tries to show some kind of springy walk]
Darwin: Dude, what are you doing?
Gumball: I’m cool walking.
Darwin: You look like you are horse-riding nothing.
[Gumball and the music stop]
Bobert: I concur with the aquatic life form.
Gumball: [imitating Bobert] I concur with the aquatic life form.
[Another clips is shown, this time from "The Love"]
Gumball: Bobert, what happened?!
Bobert: Unknown malfunction detected, attempting self-diagnosis.

Bobert: An app has corrupted my hard drive. File name: ILOVEYOU.EXE.
[Gumball and Darwin sigh, relieved]
Gumball: Dude, you're in love.
[Bobert returns to normal]
Bobert: Processing information. Terminology does not compute.
Gumball: Maybe a song would help you understand. Come on, man, count us in!
[Gumball and Darwin prepare to sing]
Bobert: A one, a one zero, a one, one zero, one one, one zero zero--
Gumball: Okay, you know what, never mind.
Gumball: [Texting] Okay, so he doesn't really do emotions. But I have enough emotions for both of us!
[A montage of various clips of Gumball's various emotional outbursts is shown, set to "Ode to Joy"]

Gumball: [Texting] V.P..
Banana Joe: [Texting] So what are you doing wasting time talking to me? [Sends a picture of Tobias] I heard Tobias was gonna ask him! You better get wiggling!

[Gumball screams and turns to find Bobert standing right behind him]
Gumball: How long have you been there!?

Tobias: [From the opposite row of computers] Chick-a-lick-a-ding dong!
Gumball: GOSH DARN IT!
[The tree librarian throws a book at Gumball to silence him, but he easily catches it in his hand without looking. A noise comes from Gumball's computer, and he looks angrily at it]
Banana Joe: [Texting] Too late?
Gumball: [Texting, disheartened tone] How'd you guess?
Banana Joe: [Texting] I'm at the other side of the library and just heard you scream "gosh darn it."
[Gumball closes Elmore Plus and returns to ShotoFop. As he lists his other potential running mates, he undoes each revision to his poster]
Gumball: Grrr, this is awful! I couldn't get Bobert, or Leslie, or Penny! Finding my perfect running mate is impossible!
Bobert: Run algorithm, perfect running mate for Gumball. [He runs the algorithm] Solution: The mate with whom Gumball has spent his whole life running.
[A montage is shown of Gumball and Darwin literally running together]
