The Amazing World of Gumball/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{quote| Gumball's father and Nicole's rabbit husband. Richard is very immature for his age and hates to have any sort of responsibility. He is also quite lackadaisical and sleeps frequently. As a result, Nicole is usually forced to be the parent to their children.}}

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Richard practically ''lives'' this trope.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: In "The Prank", after the kids prank him one too many times, he goes completely psycho with [[Slasher Smile]] chasing them all over the house. It turns out that making them think he went insane was his way of pranking them.

* [[Badass Mustache]]: Which he can grow and retract back into his face at will.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: In "The Apology", he refuses to punish Gumball or Darwin unless he's given solid evidence and he threatens to fire Miss Simian if she keeps trying to frame them, in spite of his personal feelings for her.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue Oni to Miss Simian's Red Oni.

 

=== Doughnut Sheriff ===

{{quote| An ineffective doughnut police officer who works in Elmore. He is rather oblivious, and as such is not a very good police officer. Similar to Carrie, Doughnut Sheriff is eternally hungry, because since he is a doughnut, anything he attempts to consume just goes out the other end of his mouth.}}

* [[Cephalothorax]]

* [[Expy]]/[[Shout-Out]]: He has a lot in common with Chief Wiggum from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', they even sound similar.

 

=== Laurence Needlemeyer ===

=== Gaylord Robinson ===

{{quote| The Wattersons' stuck-up next door neighbor, and Rocky's father. He is always grouchy and deeply despises Gumball and Darwin for annoying him all the time; the boys, however, idolize him because they believe him to be a war veteran.}}

* [[Cranky Neighbor]]

* [[Marionette Motion]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]], given [[Jim Henson|what]] [[The Muppet Show|he's based]] [[Muppet|off of]].

* [[Unfortunate Name]]: his first name, the last name pretty normal.

 

=== Margaret Robinson ===

{{quote| Gaylord's wife and Rocky's mother. She is just as grouchy as her husband and is always in a bad mood. Margaret never speaks; the only vocalizations she can make are hoarse whispers.}}

* [[Cranky Neighbor]]

* [[Hartman Hips]]

* [[Happily Married|Unhappily Married]]: See Mr. Robinson's entry above.

* [[The Unintelligible]]: She speaks only in unintelligible grunts and grumbles.

=== Rocky Robinson ===

{{quote| An orange, fuzzy Muppet-like character who has various jobs around Elmore Junior High. He is the son of Gaylord and Margaret Robinson, the Wattersons' next-door neighbors. Rocky is good-natured and gets along with the kids and everyone else much better than he does with his parents.}}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Word."

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: LITERALLY with Rockwin in "The Genius".

* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: He fills pretty much every non-teaching, non-administrative job at school from the janitor to the bus driver

{{quote| A tall, fluffy creature who is the counselor of Elmore Junior High. He is interested in New Age culture and possesses hippie-like qualities in terms of appearance and behavior. Mr. Small's strange and unorthodox teaching methods are usually more confusing to the children than helpful, and most of the kids leave his office confused and not any better, if not worse from the time they entered. With this, many Elmore Junior High students are left wondering why he still has his job. Like other characters, Mr. Small is afraid of Tina Rex. He is also shown to have violent mood swings, which could possibly be attributed to bipolar disorder.}}

* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]

* [[Piss-Take Rap]]: Has one about honesty; while dressed in a ''bear costume''.

* [[Unmoving Plaid]]: His shirt.

 

=== Miss Simian ===

{{quote| An elderly baboon who is Gumball and Darwin's sadistic teacher. She takes great pleasure in giving her students pop quizzes and being generally unpleasant.

* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Eh, close enough.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: {{spoiler|In the Ape, she was a complete [[Jerkass]] to Nicole when she was young and would even use Gumball and Darwin just to get the Teacher Award. When she was given a choice to either get the form with the signature on the car and fall out of the bridge or get off the car and redeem herself by staying friends with the Wattersons. She went "Nah!" to the latter and does the former which leads to her fall.}}
