And in other news,
scientists have discovered
a completely new color --
a mixture of blue
and red called "bled."
And here it is on TV
for the first time.
Yeah, typical!
Stuff always breaks just when
the warranty runs out.
When did it run out?
About 20 years ago.
Hmm.
Uh, I think there's something
wrong with our mirror too.
I don't think
that's the mirror.
Yeah. You look like a pair
of English buttocks.
Yeah, well, at least
I'm not eating kitty litter.
Huh?
Eww! Mom!
Mom:
I got confused, okay?
Everything was in black
and white at the supermarket.
I chose that one because
I like the picture.
It literally says
"non-clumping" on the box.
Uh, I assumed that meant
it was full of fiber.
Huh? Aah!
Okay, something weird
is going on here.
[ Horns honking ]
What the what?
[ Honking continues ]
[ Siren chirps ]
All right, all right.
Everybody calm down.
I'll take care of this.
Okay, dark-gray car,
move forward.
Aah! Not you!
Light gray!
Reverse, reverse!
Aah!
Medium gray, move forward!
Aah!
Somebody do something!
What is going on
around here?
It's like the color's
been sucked out of the world.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
"Excited for our blind date
and first kiss.
I'll be the one wearing gray."
[ Gasps ] Huh?
Eh.
[ Grunting ]
[ Crowd cheering ]
[ Whistle blows ]
[ Cheering stops ]
The spell is broken!
I don't have to spend my life
supporting this team anymore.
Now I can finally dedicate
my time to my real passion --
close-up magic.
And I can get back to
the greatest pastime of all --
embroidery!
Magic.
Embroidery.
Magic!
Embroidery!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Juicy!
Hmm.
What's all this now?
There's something
we're not seeing.
[ Clang! ]
Oh! Dagnabbit.
Oh!
Aw, come on, man.
No, no, no.
Watch out, dude.
It's all right.
I got this.
[ Clang! ]
Ow!
Right in the...neck.
Huh.
What's this?
What is
going on here?
This place looks like
a gas-station restroom
under UV light.
I know what happened.
Aah!
Aah!
The kid who used
to clean off the tags
hasn't come for a while.
Uh, you got a -- you got
a little bit of paint on you.
Ah.
Did I get it?
Uh, yeah, sure.
One last thing --
Could you point the way out?
Sure,
it's that way.
I really don't know why
I thought that would help.
I think there might be
trouble ahead.
Yeah.
I can smell it.
[ Inhales sharply ]
Well, it actually
smells like popcorn.
[ Popping! ]
Aah! You can't stay here!
What? Why?
Aah! Aah!
The sun! Aah!
The sun!
What's wrong
with the sun?
The nice boy who did
the recycling has given u--
Wait, has what?
[ Weakly ] He's given up.
So what?
What the what, dude?!
You look like
a trucker's elbow!
You look like
a medieval coin sack!
Wait a minute.
They stopped recycling,
didn't they? [ Gasps ]
And burned a hole
in the ozone layer!
[ Stammering ]
Ah, I got it!
Of course! The sewers!
Good idea!
[ Splashes ]
You meant use the cover
as a shade, didn't you?
Yeah,
that's what you meant.
[ Clang! ]
Hmm.
What's going on here?
Stop!
I'm sorry, kids,
but you can't go this way!
Why?
The kid who used to feed
the ducks has stopped.
Pbbt. So?
So?
[ Indistinct shouting
and screaming ]
[ Birds cheeping ]
Uh, I guess we'll go via
the old folks' home, then.
I wouldn't.
Why?
The kid who used to run
the bingo has stopped doing it.
MAN: Mayday! Mayday!
We need backup!
They're coming through
the gosh-darn walls!
Aaah!
Whoa.
Turns out the rules of bingo
are the only rules
in an old folks' home, huh?
[ Explosion ]
Whoa!
All right, you know what?
It's every man for himself now!
By the way, avoid the zoo!
The kid who used to volunteer
there has given up too!
[ Screeches ]
[ Inhales sharply ]
I think I'll take my chances
with the ducks.
Dude, the atmosphere
is getting kind of creepy.
Yeah.
It's like we're being hunted.
[ Gasps ] Not hunted.
Scouted.
[ Exhales slowly ]
Clever boy.
Scouts.
Aah!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
You're scouts!
Aren't you supposed to be nice,
build birdhouses,
and play the bugle
and junk?
Our scoutmaster left us, so
we're an army without a leader.
This is our territory now.
You're either with us
or against us.
Aah! We're with you!
We're with you!
Huh!
What's our motto, then?
I'll give you a clue.
Starts with "B."
"Be...lieve in men who wear
short shorts in the woods"?
Badges!
Scouts love badges, right?
You want badges?
When the leader left,
we found his stash of badges.
We have all the badges now.
Wait, aren't you
supposed to earn them
by actually
learning the skills?
Pff.
Like, technically, yeah.
So did you "technically"
learn how to tie knots?
Uh...fshh.
Mm...
Meh,
shame they didn't earn
their self-defense badges
either.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Hmm. Looks like we found
the source of it all.
Come on,
let's investi--
Oh, what's the point,
Darwin?!
We'll never figure out
what's going on!
What am I talking about?
There's no reason we wouldn't.
O-kay.
No!
Life just pointlessly
stirs up the dust
that you'll
eventually turn into!
[ Both sobbing ]
Ah.
That makes sense. Alan.
Someone like him gives up, then
the whole world loses its glow.
Hey, Alan.
What's wrong?
I've lost it.
It's all right, man.
Whatever it is, no one ever
thought you had it, anyway.
Psht!
All right, fine.
What have you lost,
Alan?
My faith in the world.
So that's why you stopped
all your voluntary work.
But why?
You were doing great.
No matter how much I try,
the world will never be perfect.
Well, you got to get
back on the horse.
Oh, why bother?
Because we need people like you
to do all that work,
so that people like me
don't have to.
There's no point, Gumball.
People don't change.
Goodness knows
I tried to stay positive
and turn the other cheek.
But what happens when you
run out of cheeks to turn?
Well, I can think of
a couple more cheeks --
But, Alan, you changed
the lives of so many people.
Yeah,
but what about him?
In spite of all the effort
I've made to be friends,
he still
can't look me in the eye.
Ha! That's not --
that's not true.
Yes, Alan.
We are frie--
[ Gags ]
We are frie--
[ Gags ]
See? He's physically
incapable of saying
anything remotely positive
about me.
Prove him wrong.
Give him a hug.
Uh...eh...uh...
There you go.
Good job.
Give him a good squeeze.
That's right.
Can you feel the love?
Ah, no, no, no, no.
That's too much love.
[ Gasping ]
See?!
Well, I'm sorry, man, but that's
just not how life works, okay?
Oh, really?
Then how does it work?
[ Sighs ] Well, Alan,
life doesn't work
in black and white.
Let me give you
a little insight.

make you laugh ♪
♪ And, sure, the future's
looking pretty grim ♪

No.
Oh.

Maybe a little.
