* [[Annoying Laugh]]

{{quote| A massive but [[Gentle Giant]] who is the largest student in Elmore Junior High, to the point that only his legs and feet are seen.}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: In "The Colossus".
* [[Art Evolution]]: Sorta. In Season 1, originally the only thing that can be seen of him was usually just his feet due to him being too big to fit in the screen. Other body parts of his would occasionally be seen also but he never appeared in full body view. In Season 2, he still retains his original depiction but from time to time, his entire body would be shown in full view, most notably in "The Colossus".

* [[Genre Blindness]]: In "The Storm", when Alan is in danger as {{spoiler|Masami becomes [[Yandere]] and literally becomes a living tornado which abducts him}}, Carmen tells Gumball to save him only for Penny to stop him and decides to do it herself because Gumball made Alan and Carmen's relationship complicated despite him trying to fix it.

* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: Not the case even if she wanted it to be, as she has about the strength you'd expect out of a crumpled piece of paper.
* [[Face Doodling]]: Does this to herself at times when necessary (e.g. "The Virus", where she draws tears under her eyes to represent crying, and later draws a surgical mask over her mouth). Her paper body gives her the capability of erasing face doodles quite easily.
Line 372:
 
=== Tina Rex ===
{{quote| A Tyrannosaurus Rex who lives in the Elmore city junkyard, she is the Elmore Junior High school bully. She often picks on her fellow schoolmates, especially Gumball, and has her own gang of bullies which includes Jamie, and, to his reluctance, Anton. As a dinosaur, Tina is the strongest person in school, contributing to her fearsome and aggressive reputation.}}
* [[Art Evolution]]: In Season 1, she originally had a cartoon-like design similar to the old T-Rex depictions. In Season 2, she is given a more realistic design similar to modern T-Rex depictions.

Line 408:

{{quote| A furry slug who is the principal of Elmore Junior High. Ever since he fell in love with Miss Simian, he has been a dangerously incompetent principal and spends most of his time flirting with her, thus keeping him from properly running the school.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Apparently he does not take cheating on a math test well and will give whoever he catches cheating a spring break's worth of detention.
* [[Cartoon Creature]]: "furry slug" is the most accurate description of what exactly he's supposed to be.
Line 420:
 
=== 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.}}
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: His favorite food is doughnuts.
* [[Cephalothorax]]
Line 429:
 
=== Laurence "Larry" Needlemeyer ===
{{quote| A rock man who works at almost every movie/video game store, gas station, and grocery store in Elmore. He ultimately despises the Watterson family, mostly because they are consistently getting him fired.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: So, so much.
* [[Cartoon Creature]]: [https://twitter.com/#!/benbocquelet/status/171333727501295616 He's suppose to be a rock-man], but his design makes this slightly hard to tell.
Line 437:
 
=== 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.}}
* [[Big Ol' Unibrow]]
* [[Cartoon Creature]]
Line 449:

* [[Cartoon Creature]]
* [[Cranky Neighbor]]
Line 458:
 
=== 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.}}
* [[Cartoon Creature]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Word."
Line 466:
 
=== Mr. Steve Small ===
{{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.}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Chew Toy]]: Him being injured as the result of the protagonist's actions is starting to become a [[Running Gag]].

Miss Simian is madly in love with Principal Brown, and he seems to gladly return the feeling. She utterly despises Gumball and will do anything to ruin his mischievous plans.}}
* [[Zero-Percent Approval Rating]]: Loathed by the entire town, Principal Brown excluded. Even Rocky, a [[Nice Guy]] who claims to like everybody, openly admits he hates her.
* [[Action Survivor]]: in "The Joy"
Line 510:
 
=== Sal Left Thumb ===
{{quote| A walking fingerprint who is a very dangerous criminal in Elmore. He often is seen doing some devious activity such as robbing a convenience store or trying to break into someone's car. Strangely, Sal's weapon of choice is a rusty spoon, which, for some reason, many of the male characters in the show are terrified by.}}
* [[American Accents]]: Has a thick Bronx-accent.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Says 'suckers' a lot, which is what eventually gets him in trouble at the end of the episode.
