When Gumball and Darwin find out that Nicole's life hasn't panned out as she'd hoped, they start taking on her chores, but they accidentally grab her bucket list instead of her to-do list.

Tropes:

  • Artistic License – Geology: Gumball use a lapis lazuli for a holistic medical treatment, which looks like a faceted, solid blue crystal. Real lapis lazuli is a multicolor rock that doesn't have sharp edges.
  • Continuity Nod: Gumball briefly gets into another awkward situation with Hot Dog Guy.
  • Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears: When the street-view tour reaches a beach, Nicole notices a "nudist beach" sign, then puts her hands over the screen so Gumball and Darwin couldn't see anything.
  • Exact Words: Gumball and Darwin severely fudge a lot of the objectives on the list. Gumball considered "climb up a mountain" completed after climbing less than ten feet up a mountain.
  • Fauxtastic Voyage: The last item on Nicole's dreams list is a tour around the world. Since they could never afford to go in person, they take a virtual trip with Elmore's equivalent of Google Street View.
  • Shout-Out: Apparently, the Tokyo in the Amazing World of Gumball includes a Toriyama Avenue.
  • Surveillance as the Plot Demands: The Street View photos take an improbable journey; going down a fishes gullet, to inside a mouth eating said fish, to a POV of doctors putting the diner under.
  • Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket: The commercial for the Stump Butler
  • Walking Disaster Area: By the simple fact of being kids, Gumball and Darwin make a mess of a room just by being in it, meaning anything not strapped down falls out of place.
  • Vignette Episode: Loosely connected by Gumball and Darwin completing Nicole's bucket list.
