->'''Gumball:''' Okay, you really want to do something for us? ... Then just take care of the school!
->'''Principal Brown:''' Yes, yes, yes, of course. That's it, take care of the school, and all my problems will be solved. Thank you, Watterson! [[LiteralMinded All I have to do is blow this place up]]!

-->'''Darwin:''' How's that?
-->'''Gumball:''' Jeg tror der er et eller andet, der er rystet helt forkert sammen! ("I think some things got badly mixed up in there!)

-->'''Darwin:''' The only thing I found is this. ''(Shows a pair of high heel shoes)''\\

* StrawVegetarian: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. At the beginning of the episode, when Gumball and Darwin are in Principal Brown's office, Principal Brown exclaims, "If you wear fake clothes, you're naked, which is bad. If you pay with fake money, you're a crook, which is bad. If you eat fake meat, you're a vegetarian, which I guess is not that bad, just a bit boring. I mean, it's good for the animals I guess, but they always have a smug, superior attitude."

* ShellShockSilence: Parodied when a large firework is set off, causing a ringing... because it knocked a phone off the hook.

* BillingualBonus: After Darwin picks apart Gumball's brain to show his dried out "Shame Gland" to Principal Brown, he hastily puts the brain back together and reattaches Gumball's face. When he asks "How's that?" Gumball briefly speaks fluent Danish until Darwin shakes him and makes him better.

While getting lectured by Principal Brown over coming to school "dressed" only in body paint after Richard ruined their clothes, Gumball and Darwin discover that Principal Brown's diploma is a fake. They then end up embroiled in Principal Brown's attempts to keep the shameful secret hidden.

* {{Blackmail}}: A picture of Gumball and Darwin [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim in ridiculous clothing]] (Darwin is dressed in hip-hop gear while Gumball is dressed like a Goth) is used to try and make them silent, but, as this dialogue shows, they've been ashamed so much that they're chemically incapable of being ashamed.

-->''As you can see, the brain is composed of many sections dedicated to emotion. Here is anger. (Darwin holds an angry little man). Here is sadness. (Darwin holds a crying little man). This here? (Darwin picks up a strange, babbly little man) [[NoodleImplements We just don't know.]]''

-->'''Darwin''': The only thing I found is this. ''(Shows a pair of high heel shoes)''\\
'''Gumball''': ''Oh'', that explains the sound when he walks.

* GenreSavvy: Darwin and Gumball turn down Mr. Brown's bribes because they know [[FinaglesLaw they'll all come back to bite them eventually]]: if he artificially improves their grades everyone will expect them to keep them that way, if they take all his sick notes everyone will think they're disease-ridden, and if they take his confiscated fireworks they're bound to blow themselves up. Gumball also sees right through his [[SchmuckBait incredibly obvious]] attempts to shove them into a safe.

* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: Brown spends most of the episode trying to bribe or blackmail Darwin and Gumball into keeping quiet about his fake diploma, but fails to realize that they don't want anything and don't care so long as he actually does his job.
