* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Thinking Richard forgot their wedding anniversary, Nicole gets upset and starts treating her family harshly; she outright refuses to tell them what the issue is, leaving them absolutely clueless and in panic as they scramble to figure it out by themselves, and goes so far as to tear up the card Gumball made for her and drop the cake the family had baked on the floor. Once she learns that she had the date incorrect all this time, she makes a face of genuine shock as reality sets in that she had done her family wrong.

* UngratefulBastard: Even though they obviously still don't know why the day is important, Gumball, Darwin, Anais and Richard still went to the trouble of decorating the living room, writing a card, composing an entire song ''and'' baking a cake for Nicole to cheer her up. Nicole only gets more mad and even goes so far as tearing the card to pieces and throwing the cake on the ground.

* HadTheSillyThingInReverse: The whole plot got started because the calendar in the kitchen was hung upside down. Anais realized this when she noticed that what looked like a picture of a swan with nipples in the calendar was actually an elephant face. It happens again at the tattoo parlor, as the artist has the paper upside down. (Un?)Fortunately, Richard notices it before the tattoo artist starts and corrects him.
