Mmm! Fluffy!
Hey, Idaho, my number-one brotato!
How's it hangin'?
Hmph!
What's wrong with him?
Isn't it obvious?
Um... nope.
Dude, you're eating potato...
In front of Idaho!
The potato!
[ GASPS DEEPLY ]
That's it!
If it upsets Idaho, I'm never
gonna eat potato again.
There are plenty of other foods
I like. I'll just eat those.
I'll go ask for some fries.
Uh, those are potato, too.
What did you think
French fries were made of?
French people?
S.M.H., dude. S.M.H.
Mmm!
Huh?
Also potatoes.
Wedges? 'Tato.
Hash browns? 'Tato.
Tater tots? 'Tato.
Croquette? 'Tato.
Patatas bravas? 'Tato.
Potato salad?
[ SIGHS ] I can't believe
I've been so insensitive.
At least it was only once.
"Each chip is sliced and diced
and lowered gently
into the boiling oil"...
♪ Happy birthday, dear Idahoooooo... ♪
..."then boiled again
in the boiling oil"...
Do you have the time?
Sure thing.
A quarter after 2:00.
..."before boiling them
in boiling oil one final time."
[ CRUNCHES ]
Want one?
I'm so insensitive!
Yeah. Maybe you need to think
about how other people feel.
Also, I eat way too many potatoes.
I'm proud of you, buddy.
Openly admitting you've got a problem
is the first step to recovery.
Okay! [ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ ECHOING ] I have a problem!
Great! All better.
Dude, that's not
the only step to recovery.
And that chair
doesn't have a back on it.
[ SCREAMS ]
And maybe the problem's
a lot bigger than you think.
[ SCREAMS ]
I do need help.
[ RINGS ]
Okay, dude, we've cleared out
your locker and your desk.
Is there anywhere else we've missed?
Hmm.
Is there anywhere else?
I don't recall.
Could there be any other potatoes?
I think we've got them... [ GASPS ]
Thanks for leading me
to your secret supply.
But you'll never find my secr secret...
Dang.
Stay strong, bro.
I know this isn't easy.
This is a very emotional time for me.
I keep getting these horrible,
devastating mood swings!
But it's fine. Everything is great.
[ SOBS ] All I need to do is...
relax!
Like, really, really relax!
I'll fight anything that moves!
[ LAUGHING MANIACALLY ]
[ DOOR SLAMS ]
Well, he's coping better than I thought.
You know, a lot of people find
doing something with their hands
helps take their mind off cravings.
Let's search for...
"Things to do with your hands."
[ BEEP ] BOTH: Whoa!
Origami... That's a great idea!
Feel any better?
Not at all.
Well, at least it hasn't upset anyone.
Hey, guys, have you seen my parents?
They were coming in today
to see Miss Simian.
BOTH: No.
Never mind.
Clearly, dedication and
good intentions aren't working.
Time to put our faith in something
that looks like science but isn't.
Welcome to Dr. Zanthor's
"Hypnotize Yourself to a Healthier You."
Listen to the sound of my voice.
You're feeling very sleepy.
You're lying in a field.
[ YAWNING ] You're feel...
[ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY, DROWSILY ]
[ SNORING ]
Hmph!
[ CRUNCHING ]
[ MUFFLED ] Did it help?
No! And neither is that!
Get those chips out of my face!
[ SIGHS ]
Hey, what are you guys doing?
[ SIGHS ]
Do we really have to tell you,
or will you just admit
that you've been eavesdropping
and already have a solution?
I sure do!
Just leave it to Scoop Dogg!
Oh. Okay. Is he coming here,
or do we go to him?
Neither.
So, we just... wait here or...
No, no. It's me. I'm Scoop Dogg.
It's a new nickname I'm trying.
BOTH: Oh.
That was not at all clear.
[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ CRUNCHING ECHOES ]
[ DISTORTED LAUGHTER ]
Did it work? Not really.
Aversion therapy
is just advertising
with different music.
See?
[ UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS ]
Also, maybe it would have worked better
if you hadn't wedged my eyes
open with French fries.
[ SIGHS ] Any other bright ideas?
How about Mr. Small's
group therapy? It's really good.
I've been to every single one to
cure my obsessive personality.
Every... single... one.
Haven't missed a week.
Tried to... couldn't.
MR. SMALL: Is everyone here? Good.
Welcome to the therapy group.
Wait. It's just you guys?
You can't be a group of two.
That's a duo.
Well, I just thought
"duo therapy" sounded weird.
It is weird.
Ooh, ooh, ooh! I'll start!
My name is Sarah,
and I'm obsessive about comics, movies,
Gumball, fan art, Darwin,
Gumball and Darwin,
making lists about things
I'm obsessed with...
Sarah! This isn't about you!
It's about me... helping Darwin
to give up potatoes.
Nature's taste grenade? Why?!
Because it's upsetting Idaho. Very well.
I gave up eating meat using
the visualization technique.
Each time I wanted to eat some meat,
I would picture it with a face.
It was harrowing, but it worked.
Try it.
Howdy! Whoa!
[ GASPS ] I think it worked!
I don't feel like
eating potatoes anymore.
Thank you, Mr. Small.
What's that on your desk?
Nothing. Go back to the part
where you were saying
what a great duo therapist I am.
I never said that.
Is that a string of sausages?
And you've got steaks hidden under here.
[ BOTH GASP ] Darwin, wait!
It's not what it looks like.
I've been hiding meat around my desk
because I can't stop eating it!
That's exactly what it looks like.
You're a total fake!
[ VOICE BREAKING ] That's it!
BOTH: No!
I'm sorry,
but this is who I am!
Huh. I don't feel any different.
Do I look okay?
Potato.
Potato.
Potato, potato.

[ WHEEZES ]
Uh... you okay, buddy?
That's it! I need to do this on my own.
I'm gonna lock myself in my room
until I beat this thing!
Uh, Mr. Small, Darwin just skipped out
on the rest of the school d...
Don't look at me!
Brotato! We did it! We did it!
Darwin's given up eating potatoes!
I knew you'd be pleased,
but I didn't realize
you'd get so emotional.
I'm not. You just
shut my hand in the locker.
Oh. Sorry.
So, what was that about Darwin?
He's gone home and locked
himself in his room
to quit eating potatoes
because it was upsetting you.
Why would I be upset?
I'm not the same potatoes
as you eat in the canteen.
Are you saying
that all potatoes look the same?
[ GASPS ]
Uh...
Eh...
Uh...
[ WHISPERING ] Say "No"!
No?
[ SIGHS ] I'm gonna go see Darwin.
So, it looks like everything
worked out well in the end.
I don't think you understand
what just happened.
Darwin is struggling to battle
his potato cravings,
and you just let Idaho... The potato...
Go off and see him!
So, we're good?
Phewie! Sure is hot.
I better put some sunscreen on.
[ SNIFFS ]
Well, plow my furrow!
This ain't sunscreen! It's tanning oil!
Look at me, getting all crispy!
[ GROANS ] Okay, one more time!
So, Idaho has gone to see Darwin.
Remember, Darwin is struggling
to resist eating potatoes...
[ ECHOING ]
If I have a serious expression
and nod really slowly,
it'll look like I'm listening
to every word she's saying.
Gumball! [ NORMAL VOICE ] What?
You do realize
you said all of that out loud?
[ ECHOING ] Quick!
Think of a good excuse.
And that!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
I'm salting the roads for ice.
But it's, like, 90 degrees
out here, and it's June!
I'm so fired.
Okay, so, here's a model
of the block you live on.
I'm sorry I didn't have time
to build it to scale.
So, here's Darw...
Sarah! We don't
have time for this!
I just realized that Idaho is on his way
to see the potato-starved Darwin
and Idaho is a potato!
[ PANTING ]
Rrrrr!
Oh, no! The truck is out of control!
[ GRUNTS ]
Oh. I guess it's all right.
Darwin?
Darwin?
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
Darwin?
[ DOOR CREAKS, SLAMS ]
[ GASPS ]
Eh.
Darwin?
[ DARWIN BREATHING HEAVILY ]
Darwin?
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
Darwin?
Darwin! Darwin! Don't do it!
Open up! Open up!
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
Oh. Thanks.
[ CHOMPING, SLURPING ]
Darwin?
Nooooooooooooo!
Gumball?
Not now, Idaho!
Nooooooo!
Wait. W-What?
Idaho brought me this baked
to show me it's okay to eat potatoes,
and there's no hard feelings.
Brotato! You're alive! Hmph!
Wait. I thought
you were upset at Darwin.
No, I was upset at you!
I hate that stupid nickname!
Oh, we thought you were annoyed
about the potato thing,
but you were annoyed
about the "brotato" thing.
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ ECHOING ] Just laugh with them,
and they'll think you understand.
So, we're all gonna pretend
we didn't hear him say that, right?
Yeah.
