Mom, instead of milk,
can we have chocolate milk?

-No.
-Instead of eggs,

can we have chocolate eggs?

-No.
-Instead of bread,

can we have chocolate bread?

No!

[sighs] Richard, can I get
a little help here, please?

Sure.

Here, kids.

Stop bothering your mother
and eat this chocolate.

[growls]

What the--

Well, what's the point in dragging us here
if we're not getting some kind of treat?

Because we're having a nice family outing,
and that should be reward enough.

[whimpers]

Don't you dare.

I want some chocolate...

[sighs]

[Gumball continues crying]

[all crying]

[screaming]

[high-pitched voice]
Oh, Mommy, I want some chocolate.

[normal pitched voice]
I'm sorry, little sausage,

but you've had
too much candy this week.

[mumbles]

Now all the little sausages are punished
and going to have to wait in the car.

This is the face she's gonna get
when she comes back.

Pretty good,
but this is how you do a sulky face.

It's all in the detail.

Eh, it would be better if it throbbed.

No problem.

[straining]

[gasps]

I can't believe we wasted a day
at the mall without getting anything.

You know what we should do?

We should make full-sized
paper models of ourselves,

set the car on fire, and push it
off a cliff to teach Mom a lesson.

Uh...

I... think I have a better,
less-horrific idea.

[dings]

[Gumball] Customer announcement.
As part of our campaign,

Huggy Bites are offering
a lifetime supply of jelly beans

to the first man to hug the blue lady
in aisle three.

-Huh?
-Huggy Bites, more love than you can chew.

[gasps]

[muffled screaming]

No! Get your hands off her!
That's my wife!

[gasps]

If anyone should win those Huggy Bites,
it's me!

Hey! What is going on here?

[gasps] Please don't tell!

[gasps]

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

What would your poor mother
think about this kind of behavior?

What would it take to
make all this go away?

%- %.

And throw in some Huggy Bites, as well,
for tricking me and those poor customers.

[gasps]

That's it! I'm telling!

Mrs. Mom, we came up with this really
clever idea to get candy behind your back,

then Mr. Dad caught us,
and now he wants a cut of it.

And... it's back to the car.

[mockingly]
"Your children deserve a better example!"

"You need to grow up!"

"Don't forget your appointment
at the cardiologist!"

[normal voice] Boring! Huh, discipline.

I'm not a punisher, I'm a fun... isher!

And she's not the boss of me!

-Have you ever told her this?
-Yeah! Lots of times!

-In my head.
-What about to her face?

Nah, kid. She'd snap me like a twig.

OK, I think we need to work on this.

Let's go through it one last time!

-Who are you?
-I'm the man!

-And what does a man do?
-Whatever the heck he wants!

-And why?
-Because I'm a beautiful, powerful animal!

Then let me hear you roar!

[roars]

Now suck that gut in! Clench those pecs!

Uh...

-And how do you feel?
-Man-tastic!

Good! Now go and get us some candy!

-[thud]
-[Richard] Hey, woman!

You're gonna listen to me,
and you're gonna listen good!

I'm calling the sh*ts now!

Hey! You listen to the man
when he's talking!

-[gasps] I've got an idea!
-All right, let's hear it.

[Anais] Supermarkets
are designed to sell you stuff

you didn't even know you wanted.

Everything counts.

From the height of the product
to what it's placed next to.

Huh, I want a cheese sandwich!

[Anais] The music is important, too.

[music playing]

But more than anything, you want to
make them think it's a bargain.

Ah!

You paranoid nutbar.
That stuff doesn't work.

Then why are you holding
a basketful of lipstick?

Three colors, $ .
It'd be stupid not to buy it.

This... is... perfect!

If we use those tricks on Mom,
we can get anything we want!

It's foolproof!

♪ Who's getting candy? Ow ♪

♪ You're getting candy! Uh-uh ♪

♪ I'm getting candy ♪

♪ And he's getting candy! ♪

♪ I'm getting candy? Eh-eh ♪

♪ She's getting candy! ♪

[humming]

♪ I'm getting candy
You're getting candy ♪

♪ He's getting candy
He's getting candy... ♪

Get back to the car!!

Excuse me, madam,
but maybe you'd like to try--

Maybe what?

Maybe you know better about
disciplining my family than I do?

Maybe I shouldn't be screaming
like a lunatic in the mall?

No, no, no! I just thought
maybe you'd be Interested in a--

-What?
-Free relaxing massage on aisle ?

Well, maybe I am!
Thank you for the kind offer!

-[car door closes]
-[all sigh]

[Nicole] Oh, yeah.

After the day I've had,
that's just what I needed--

-[creaks]
-[groans]

I can't move! What did you do?

-Can you undo what you just did?
-Uh...

Actually, I... I need to go
speak to my manager,

'cause I normally work
on the deli counter, and I...

I gotta go!

What? You can't leave me like this!

[sighs]

[gasps]

Why aren't you in the car?

Well, here's the thing, we've all
been through a lot today, and...

I was thinking, wouldn't it be better

if you just bought us a treat
from the supermarket?

Never!

Mm, I see.

Then how about a free makeover session?

[Nicole] No! No!

Not the eyebrows!

It's nothing personal, Mom!

It's just business.

[grunts]

[bones creaking]

[grunts]

[all sigh]

[sobbing]

[crying]

I can't believe it ended up like this!

A whole afternoon wasted!

The important thing is, we tried.

Even if...

we failed!

[Richard] No!

It's not over!

There's one more thing we can do,
but you have to do exactly what I say.

[Gumball straining]

Come on, son! Eat it!

I just can't take stuff
without paying for it!

-[slaps]
-I've been raised too well.

Oh, come on! It's not that difficult!
You open the bag, you eat the candy...

you put the bag back where it was,
and no one will ever know.

[alarm blaring]

Let me get this straight.

I asked you to finally step up as a father
and set a good example for your children,

and the way you interpreted that
was to take them shoplifting?

[sighs]

That's it.

I think you've all done it.

You've finally pushed me over.

Over what?

The limit!

Does that mean we can get a candy bar?

[straining]

[crash]

You need to...

run!

Now!

What's wrong with Mom?

That's not your mother anymore!
It's a whirlwind of fury!

[Richard] Get out of the way!
She's out of control!

[all scream]

Oh. Aah, aah, aah.

-[growls]
-[screams]

-Gumball!
-I don't want the candy anymore!

-Huh?
-[screams]

[growling]

-Watch out, Dad! It's you she wants!
-Somebody please help me!

-Freeze, ma'am!
-[growls]

Please, don't make me do this.

[panting]

[growls]

[screaming]

[gasping]

I wasn't trained for this.
Please, somebody help me.

-You need help?
-Yes, please. Please!

I'd do anything!

[growling]

[screams]

-[glass shatters]
-[screams]

[growls]

[panting]

[screams]

-Free sample, sir?
-Hmm.

[panting]

Aah. [mumbles]

-Aah. I'm finished!
-Take flight, Mr. Dad!

[crash]

[growls]

-Dad, can I have some candy?
-Sure, son. Just don't tell your mother.

[muffled] Richard!

Dad, stop sweating!
You're gonna give it away!

Easy for you to say!
It's not you she's after!

Darwin, Anais! Now!

Sorry, Mom. We just need you
to cool down for a minute.

Yeah. What kind of example
are you giving the kids?

[gasps]

Oh... my... gosh. What am I doing?

I am so sorry.

I completely overreacted.
What kind of mother am I?

No! It was me! What kind of father am I?

A fat man-child! A chubby Peter Pan!

We didn't respect your authority, Mom.

We know you're only doing it
for our own good.

And when a parent says "no,"
they mean "no."

[sighs] I hope you can forgive us.

[sighs] Of course, sweetie.

Every child tests the limit
from time to time,

and most husbands do that all the time.

[all] Aah.

Let's go home. I'm exhausted.

-Has she gone?
-Depends.

Do you have what you promised?

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

Thanks.

Please, never come back.

[Gumball] Ugh. What's the point
of cleaning under the bed?

It's like cleaning a dumpster!
It's designed to be filthy!

[Nicole]
Because this room smells like dog burp.

[grunts] What is this?

[Gumball] Oh, that's a glass of milk.

Cheese, that's a glass of cheese.

-[splat]
-[Richard screams]

[groans]

Stone, that's a glass of stone.

Are you kidding me? That milk
had to be at least ten years old.

Well, at least there's nothing alive
under there.

[screeches]

Aah!

[both] Nyah.

[gasps] Darwin I?

So that's where you were hiding.

-[gasps]
-Wait.

I thought you said that Darwin I left

to live a happier life on a farm
with other fishes.

[nervous chuckle] He did. Uh...

He did.

Uh...

Hey!

Look what I found! The game you made.

Hey, Gum, I'm not three anymore.

You're not gonna distract me with--
What the what?

Dodj or Daar. It's calling us.

No!

We swore we'd never play that game again!

[huge noises]

Just ignore the calls.

[slurps]

[sighs]

We have to destroy that game.

[gasps] It's gone!

[both] Wait!

[muffled] Don't throw the dice!

You don't know what you're doing!

Yeah, 'cause you didn't write
any instructions.

And what you did write is spelled wrong.

"Dodj or Daar"?

Sounds like an alien choosing a baby name.

-Let's just pack it away.
-No! You can't stop!

Once you start Dodj or Daar...

[ominously] it has to be finished.

OK, so, the rules are pretty simple.

You roll the dice, then take a Daar card.

If you do the daar, then you move forward
that many spaces.

If you don't, then you have to take
a Dodj card and move half the spaces.

OK. And how do you win?

You don't win. You survive.

OK.

But how do you actually win?

Oh, you have to roll an exact number
to land on the last square.

-Dad, you're up.
-[laughs]

[laughs]

I feel sorry
for whoever's got to do this one.

[panting]

Officer, please! I need to report a theft!

Yes! Finally!

-What did the thief look like?
-Well, he was wearing a monocle.

Uh-huh. Uh...

OK.

Uh...

-Anything else?
-Yes, he had a big, furry mustache.

Uh-huh. Big furry musta--

OK. Any other distinguishing features?

Yes, he was dressed as a yodeler.

Aren't you gonna write that down?

Just testing something.

[gasps]

And what did that man steal?

A kiss.

[all laugh]

You actually did it? [laughs]

Oh, yeah. That's how it always starts,
with the laughing and the daars,

and then later... the horror and fear!

[Nicole] My go!

Hmm.

"Order a prank pizza."

Uh-huh. And what's the address?

[snickers] Grove Street.

Oh, and could you add
some turkey gizzards?

As well as the ice cream, pig's foot,
and oysters?

Yes, it's an old family recipe
invented by my grandfather.

Old Joe Windypants!

[laughing]

Oh, man.

I wish I could be there
to see that pizza arrive.

OK, Grove Street. Here we go.

Pizza guy!

What are you talking about? I sell pizzas.
Why would I buy one?

Well, someone's gotta pay for this.

I'm not paying for something
I didn't order!

What am I supposed to do with this now?

Give it to me! I'll show ya!

I think all these jobs
are messing with my head.

[Anais] I'm now wearing... everything...

in the house.
OK. Can someone move me forward?

I meant my piece on the--

[glass shatters]

So, that's six spaces,

putting you ahead of Gumball,
Darwin, Dad, and... me.

Although, of course, technically,
this card says every thing in the house.

I am wearing everything,
even Dad's fat-camp girdle!

Every thing, Anais, not just clothes.

The couch is a thing.
Are you wearing that?

What? But--

[Nicole] Uh... No arguing, young lady.

You need to learn to be a good loser.
Now take your Dodj.

"The floor is now red-hot lava."

[screams]

Aah, aah, I actually felt that
through six pairs of shoes!

It's starting!

We have to finish the game quickly

before it gets ahold of us
and destroys us all!

Dude, keep it together.

Get a grip on yourself!
You're under-reacting!

Thanks, man! I needed that!

I got a bit calm for a second,
but now I realize how serious this is!

[straining]

Daar!

"Run past a dog wearing a suit of ham!"

That doesn't sound too bad.

Really? Don't you remember
when I got that one?

[dogs barking]

-[panting]
-[dogs barking]

[grunts]

[sighs, screams]

The worst part is,
it took four weeks to stitch that suit,

-and it was gone in under a minute.
-[laughs]

[gasps] Um, you're right.
I'll take a Dodj.

"Your left arm must do what the player to
your right arm does, and vice versa."

-What does that mean?
-Means I can do this!

-Hey!
-[laughs]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Ow.

Daar. "Take a Dodj."

Oh, man!

"CSD."

What's CSD?

Compulsive singing disorder.
It means that I could sing at...

♪ Anytime ♪

"Eat hot dogs in under a minute."

That's not a daar! That's Tuesday!

[making indistinct noise]

[panting]

I think he stopped.

Oh, dude! He's drinking the brine!

Boys, I'm not using spray cheese
instead of deodorant.

Give me a Dodj card.

"From now on, you'll doubt
every thought you have."

[scoffs] That's ridiculous.

There's no way a board game
can make that happen.

Or can it?

Aah. Is that head real?

It's as real as you believe it is,
until the game ends.

Maybe now you're starting to realize...

♪ How dangerous this game really is ♪

That came out way less ominous
than I was hoping for.

Give me the dice.

[screams]

Why is it still burning?

We told you. Nothing stops
until you finish the game.

Well, then I'm finishing the game
right now!

-Or are you?
-Ugh.

Every sentence you say
is going to start with "or," isn't it?

-Or is it?
-I'll take that as a yes.

-Or will--
-Yes!

It won't make any difference, Mom.
The game's too powerful.

The only power this game has
is the power you give it.

Then why is my hand moving again?

The game's finished, Richard!

[Richard] But these pickled eggs aren't!

[sighs]

-[glass shatters]
-Aw.

[phone rings]

Rainbow complaints office.
How can I help you?

This sounds like a very simple problem.

Or is it?

Zip it, you goblin-faced lump!

-[indistinct chatter]
-Oh. [laughs]

No, sir, of course
I wasn't talking to you.

I'm sure you're a very handsome man.

Or is he?

Don't you think it's hard enough
to deal with idiots all day

without you pestering me, too?

[indistinct chatter]

Sorry! Yes, sir. I... I suppose
some of that was directed at you.

[indistinct chatter]

Yes, of course
I'll put you through to my supervisor.

Or will you?

I'm gonna pop you, you--

[dial tone]

[Gumball] And so, in conclusion,

if Earth temperature
were to rise by just one degree,

average sea levels would rise,
leading to a...

♪ Massive tragedy! ♪

-[students laugh]
-[sighs]

Oh, I didn't realize you thought
global warming was such a laughing matter.

Three hours' detention.

Now, who would like to volunteer
for my outdoor meditation retreat

instead of having a summer vacation?

[gasps] What the--

[groans, grunts]

[Richard] Come on.

Very good, Darwin.

And who wants to take
the vow of silence, as well?

[grunts] Come on!

You won't regret it.

And finally, we also need a volunteer
for the eco protest this weekend

where we chain ourselves
to a doomed tree for hours.

[grunts]

Are you sure, Darwin?
I'm not gonna lie to ya, buddy.

We're gonna get maced.

[screams]

[all] We have to finish the game!

Just roll the cards and pick the dice!
Just get on with it!

OK. We need maximum rolls every turn,

which means no dodjes,
no matter how bad the daars are.

Agreed?

-Dodj.
-What happened to taking every daar?

Do you really want to see me
clean myself with my tongue?

-[all] Ew.
-Dodj! Dodj! Dodj!

"Dramatic music will play
until the end of the game."

[dramatic music plays]

Daar. "Juggle flaming knives."

Come on, Richard! You can do it!

Never mind! We'll deal with that later!

"Drive the car from the back seat."

-I can do it! I can do it!
-Or can you?

[grunts]

[Nicole] Shut up, will you?

[crash]

[Anais] Dodj b*mb.

-What's that?
-Everyone, take a Dodj card!

[all sigh]

"Freeze frame." Does that mean I'll--

-See?
-That's what we told you!

If we all get stuck by a Dodj,
we'll remain like this forever!

"Movie earthquake."

Who-o-o-o-a! Who-o-o-o-a!

"Gravity is your enemy"? What does that--

"Giant hands."

Or are they?

"Inverted mermaid!"

Nothing happened.

Well, I'm kind of that already.

Fish head, legs...

Come on! Roll the dice!

"Date a sheep."

-I'll have the lamb.
-[bleats]

I meant chicken!

I meant the check!

"Bathtub sledge."

[screams]

We're nearly there!

Now we need to land on the last square
with an exact roll!

[blows] Here we go.

Five!

Oh, no! Dodj b*mb again!

"No one is allowed to breathe
until the game is over!"

Or are they?

[all chocking]

Please, be a six.

Are you kidding me?

Yes! We survived!

All the effects of the game
have been reversed!

[siren wailing]

Almost.
