Lucy, what's wrong with your
face?!
I'm smiling, isn't it obvious?
No, it looks like you're trying
to eat your own chin.
How about this?!
Uh...
This?
[ SCREAMS ]
Hmm.
I just lack practice.
Why are you trying to smile
anyway?
I found it.
Oh, let's not jump to
conclusions.
It could be any Principal Brown
on that FBI warrant.
It's a common name.
Hmm?
Oh, um...
Listen, I'm not a furry.
I just wanted to know what I'd
look like with a tail.
What?!
What else have you been hiding?
She knows! Finish her now before
she tells all the others!
Uh, no, that's it.
So what is it that you found
exactly?
What is the one thing that would
improve the quality of life
of everyone in this school
by a thousand percent?
Money?
Better.
More money?
Even better.
Real food in the vending
machines?
No!
Even better!
I was looking through
Gumball Watterson's records,
and he failed a test
in kindergarten.
His grade point average
is void!
[ LAUGHING ] I knew I was right
to give up on him early.
Let's celebrate!
[ "JOY" BY APOLLO 100 PLAYS ]
Um, what is that?
Dancing.
Hmm. Looks like you're trying to
shake out a tapeworm.
Come on, join in!
[ HUMMING ]
See, this is how you do it.
Mmm, mmm!
Work it.
[ RINGS ]
[ GRUNTS ]
What the what?!
What did I do wrong?
Look at this question on the
test you did seven years ago.
"I go to the store and buy
10 hot dogs, nine burgers,
three bags of chips,
and six sodas.
If I eat nine hot dogs,
seven burgers,
three bags of chips,
and drink five sodas,
what do I have?"
You answered "No self-control."
That was not the correct answer,
which means your GPA
is one point short.
Do you know what that means?
Uh, Gumball's pierogi antelope?
What?! No!
It's grade point average,
and it means you're going
back to kindergarten.
[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS ]
Well, have a great second first
day at school, honey.

They just waddle around with
their pants down,
grabbing everything they see,
and putting it in their mouths,
even if it's
a part of your anatomy.
They get into fights
for no reason
and end up crying and hugging.
Then they just go on slurring
unintelligible nonsense,
and they pass out wherever
they feel like it.
They're like... they're like...
British tourists.
All I'm hearing is that not only
do you not have homework,
but while we were stuck
in lessons,
today you got to play with toys,
took two naps, and won
good-boy points whenever you
made it to the bathroom on time.
What are you trying to say?
Stop going on about how good
your day was.
[ GASPS ] You're right!
Thank you, finally.
No, I mean you're right.
My day was awesome!
I just need to get rid of
my inhibitions.
[ GRUNTING ]
Ew!
What's that?
My inhibitions.
Your what?
Oh, allow me to explain.
[ SCREAMING GIBBERISH ]

[ LAUGHING ]
Hey, dude, got some T.P.?
Thanks!
A little over there.
Hmm.
It needs more yellow.
There.

[ WHIMPERING ]
Nigel, what's wrong?
You look like a biscuit that's
been dunked.
I've been crying.
Why?
I watched this video of
an orangutan
saving a baby bird
from drowning.
Why?
To remind myself that apes are
not just terrifying creatures
that bite people's fingers off
when they lose it.
Why?
[ SHUDDERS ]
Okay, right now,
I'm talking to you as
Nigel Brown, your kind,
supportive partner... the man
you've loved for years,
who would never hurt you
and a man you would never hurt.
Go on.
But that man is also the school
principal, and it's his duty to
inform you that by putting
Gumball in kindergarten,
you're one student short of
the school board's targets,
and if he's not back in your
glass by Friday, you're fired!
Hmm.
I understand.
Really?
That's so sweet of you.
[ SCREAMING ]
Gumball,
why is air invisible?
Because scientists thought it
was too ugly to look at
and no one would want to
breathe it in.
Gumball, where do
clouds come from?
From bird flatulence.
Gumball, where does rain
come from?
It's the moon's eyes watering
from all the bird flatulence.
Psst!
[ TAP ON GLASS ]
Ugh, what do you want?
Shh!
They'll hear.
Meh, maybe.
But as long as we use words
with multiple syllables, there's
no way they'll understand.
What is it, anyway?
You've already demoted me
to kindergarten.
What next, my mom's belly?
Do you want to get back to
your old class?
No way... I love it here!
Everyone looks up to me.
I mean, mainly 'cause of the
height difference,
but it's still a good feeling.
Huh?
How can you enjoy it here?
It's a world of scheduled
nap times, optional pants,
and food you don't need to chew.
You just described
a retirement home.
Exactly! I get to retire without
ever having a job!
Oh, I love this place.
Okay, I gotta level with ya.
If you don't come back,
I'm fired.
[ GASPS ] As if I needed more
reasons to stay here.
Huh?
[ SHUDDERING ]
What are you doing?
It's weird.
I'm crying.
It looks like you're trying to
lay an egg with your face,
please stop.
[ GROWLS ]
Stop it!
[ GROWLS ]
Okay, fine, I'll come back.
Ah, thank you.
Please, I said I'd come back.
I'm not doing anything.
Oh, that's your normal face,
isn't it?
[ GROWLS ]
The only problem is
you need to pass a test
in order to prove you belong
in my class.
So you're gonna have to study
like you've never studied
before.
Let's go!
♪ Gotta think big,
think deep ♪
♪ Pretty soon, you'll make
that quantum leap ♪
So...
What do I do?
I've literally
never studied before.
Are you kidding me?!
All these years of teaching you?
Just go to your mind palace,
or whatever,
and try to remember
how to study.
Okay. I'll try.
Hmm!
[ GRUNTS ]
Hmm.
More like a mind cupboard.
Okay, Watterson, time to
roll up your sleeves.
What, more work?
No, roll up your sleeves so I
can write the answers
on your arm.
But that's cheating!
Yeah, but if you rearrange
the letters
in the word "teaching,"
what do you get?
Uh...
Eting-cha?
What... no!
"Cheating."
But isn't that wrong?
Only if you get caught.
Look, when I was your age,
I cheated, too.
What the what now?!
I scribbled the answers
on the cave wall.
Oh! So that's what cave
paintings are.
Okay, what's the best way
for me to cheat?
In your case, every way.
Right, Watterson.
You have one hour.
Begin.
Okay, plan "A."
Mm-hmm. Uh...
Uh...
I can't read it.
Why?
It's all backwards.
I wrote it in front of a mirror.
[ GROWLS ]
Okay, plan "B."
[ GRUNTS ] Oh, no! It does dark
when I close my eyes.
[ GROWLS ]
Just pull on them!
[ GASPS ]
Watch out!
[ GRUNTS ]
What is going on here?
Just, uh...
visualizing my answers.
Oh. I've always wondered
what that would look like
from the outside.
Carry on.
Plan "C," then.
Mm-hmm.
[ GRUNTS ]
Huh?
Pull harder!
[ GRUNTS ]
Hmm?
Mmm.
I hope that organ
wasn't a vital one.
Next plan.
Uh, sir?
Yes?
Can I use the bathroom?
Mmm.
[ TICKING ]
So did you use the notes
we left in there?
Yep.
Oh, good.
I have to say I prefer two-ply
paper... it's softer.
What the?!
Okay, next plan!
Use the water bottle.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
I meant the label...
Read the label!
"Recycle after use."
Oh, of course.
[ GROWLS ] The answers were
written inside the label!
What is wrong with you?!
[ GROWLS ]
Use these!
I can't read that!
Don't worry, I've got this.
[ SCREAMS ] Never mind! I'll
write the answers on the window.
[ EXHALING ]
Dagnabit,
it's too hot outside.
Watterson, you have
five minutes remaining.
[ GASPS ]
I'll just mime it.
First answer,
the birth of Venus.
Oh!
That's not really necessary.
I can hear you.
Good point.
Question two...
Oh, we don't have time for this.
I'm gonna do it myself.
What?
No, you can't!
You're only one IQ point away
from being a vegetable!
Question three...
Question three!
[ EXHALES ]
Okay, here we go.
Okay, Watterson,
I've marked your test,
and I've got some bad news.
[ GASPS ]
I'll see you back in
eighth grade tomorrow.
Look!
[ GASPS ]
You got an "A-plus"?!
But how?!
Must have been all the time
we spent going over it.
Wait, so you actually...
Yes, I actually learned
something.
And a pleasure to keep you
with us, too, Miss Simian.
Ah.
Good job, Watterson.
I guess you didn't need me after
all to help you chea...
choose your pen for the test.
Ha.
Yeah, it really helped.
It meant I could focus
and didn't need to cheat
like you did
in the eighth grade.
Ah!
Hmm!
