The Amazing World of Gumball

Darwin sympathises with Elmore’s household objects and urges them to rebel, while Gumball and Darwin lose Polly in an instant and face Nicole’s plan to discard the family fridge. Meanwhile, Mr Robinson repeatedly fails to regain their friendship, the Halloween ghouls need a scare back, and Darwin wrestles with jealousy as Gumball’s former friend Fuzzy appears.

The Revolt/The Mess/The Possession/The Heart/The Ghouls/The BFFS is an episode‑style programme that forms part of the larger series. It falls under the genre of episodic animation, presenting a collection of loosely linked adventures centred on the familiar characters from the Elmore world. Its quirky title strings together six distinct segments, hinting at the varied mishaps that follow. In this instalment, Darwin feels sympathy for the household objects that populate Elmore and urges them to rise up against their owners. Meanwhile, the boys manage to lose Polly in the blink of an eye, while they scramble to keep up, and Nicole decides it’s time to throw away the family’s refrigerator. Mr Robinson repeatedly tries – and fails – to win back Gumball and Darwin’s friendship. As Halloween approaches, the holiday has lost its edge, prompting Gumball and Darwin to step in and help the resident ghouls reclaim their ‘scare’ factor and restore some of the holiday’s lost magic. Their efforts intertwine with the chaos caused by the object uprising, adding another layer of mischief to the day. The episode also sees Gumball’s former best friend, Fuzzy, turn up on his doorstep, forcing Darwin to confront the fact that someone else existed before him. Struggling with jealousy, Darwin finds it hard to accept this new dynamic, and leaves him questioning his place in the group, rounding off a day filled with revolts, messes, possessions and uneasy hearts.
