[opening theme music playing]

Okay, you're making this weird now.

Do you promise they're not here?

[sighs] Mm-hmm.

I swore to myself

I'd never come back to this house.

If this family was a food,

it'd be one of those microwave filled pastries.

It looks good on the outside, but its toxic chemical filling

will scorch your insides like molten lead.

I swear, every time I come here,

I get dragged into more family drama than a telenovela.

But where else are you going to be able to play with...

my dad's karaoke machine!

[jaunty music playing]

Yeah!

♪ Just me and my baby ♪

♪ Belting songs all night ♪

♪ No Fitzgerald family ♪

♪ To give me a fright ♪

♪ We're gonna hang out ♪

♪ No drama, no fight ♪

♪ Why is there witchy stuff Hanging by the light? ♪

[screams, vocalizes]

Uh...

Okay, I lied.

It's my grandma's 80th today.

The whole clan is coming over.

What are you guys doing?

You can't have the karaoke machine out.

You know how traditional they are.

They don't even use mechanical toilets

because they think anything

that's not made out of wood is evil!

Do you want your grandma to have another episode?

A final episode?

Why did you have to bring your amadain boyfriend, Penelope?

Am... a... da... in?

Because he's the only one who supported me

when I gave up wearing a shell, Patrick.

And he's going to help me stand up to this backward family.

Isn't that right, Gumball?

-[Penny] Hmm? -[Patrick] Hmm?

[Patrick panting]

I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

You're both gonna behave according to tradition.

Now, put these on.

There is no way I'm going back in that shell.

[low growl]

[chuckles nervously] Absolutely, Mr. Fitzgerald.

We don't want any broken traditions, or bones.

-Here you go, baby. -No!

Look, you dragged me into this.

Instead of your dad's karaoke machine,

I've got his disapproval burning through

-the back of my head. -[laser whirring]

So if you want my help, then I suggest we just try

and get through this party.

Okay, fine!

I'll play ball just this once, but remember...

[growling] History does not smile kindly on traitors!

Heh... She's got your eyes.

[Gumball breathing]

[indistinct chatter]

[band playing folk music]

Okay... So, like, should I say hi?

Feels like I should say hi.

I'm gonna say hi.

-Hi! -[all gasp]

Okay... Uh...

So what is like, the, uh, appropriate way to greet them?

Don't want the big one to turn up to my house

with a beaver mask on to eat my pets.

[chuckles nervously]

[heavy breathing]

[chuckles nervously]

Well, since you seem all about tradition today,

you're supposed to go to the birthday person and...

[whispers indistinctly]

Uh, okay.

[music continuing softly]

[blows raspberry]

-[music stops] -[all gasp]

-[Patrick gasps] -[Penny laughs]

[Grandma growls]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. [laughs] Don't mind him.

He's just an amadain from Penny's school.

Okay, uh... Crown ceremony time.

-[folk music resumes] -[indistinct chatter]

Okay, I get the whole revenge for caving

to your dad's demands like a wet bin bag,

but what's an amadain?

Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure you find out.

Now, let's all celebrate our eldest

and revel as per the traditions which protected us

since the dawn of time.

-[Grandma yells] -[all yell]

[bell ringing]

-[band playing upbeat music] -[rhythmic clapping]

Oh... There it is.

That specific Fitzgerald-induced anxiety.

Well, you didn't want to break tradition.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.

[inhales, exhales]

Okay, I got this.

[upbeat music playing]

[family gasps]

Ah, ah.

[Gumball scats]

-[Patrick grunts] -[Gumball blows]

Cheers, Dad.

[Gumball] Whoa!

-[others groan] -Hey!

Have I said happy birthday, by the way?

-[Grandma groans] -Happy birthday.

[plays bagpipe]

[Penny chuckles]

Uh, I'm just gonna take five.

[techno music playing faintly]

What a nightmare...

[imitating Penny] "Come to my house."

"We'll do karaoke!"

"JK, it's actually a trap to use you to drive

my arthouse horror family even crazier."

[imitating Patrick] "They're very traditional."

"They don't use mechanical toilets."

"They only poop in stone buckets

and wipe with the sacred leaves of the tree of the--"

[toilet flushes]

[both yell]

Ah! Grandma.

Uh, okay, remember your training.

Uh, the kiss of life.

What is going on here?

Okay, okay. Please don't die again.

I'm Penny's boyfriend.

She brought me here to back her up because...

Well, you know how your family can be a bit... [grunts]

[chuckles nervously]

Yep. Exactly like that.

Well, me and Penny, you know, we're not all that much

into gnomes and magic stick men,

but nobody has to agree

on everything to hang out, right?

I do me, you do you.

I tolerate you.

You tolerate me. Society, baby!

[chuckles nervously]

Okay, fine. I'll give it to you straight.

[inhales] Penny came out of her shell last year,

and she's gonna stay that way, so deal with it!

There I said it.

Hoo... Oh, that's a relief.

It feels good to let the truth out, right?

Thanks so much for being open to this.

You get it, right?

You bend the rules from time to time.

Eh? Mechanical toilet, eh, eh?

I see you. Totally by accident.

I never intentionally intrude on your privacy.

And don't worry, I won't tell. Our little secret.

[chuckles nervously] Ah...

This... This was a great conversation.

Love the hat, by the way.

I think that went well.

-Ah! -Did I hear screaming?

It sounded like a bagpipe getting speared!

No, it's fine.

I just stood up for you.

I was all like, "Penny's come out of her shell,

deal with it, Grandma!"

Whoa! No one ever stands up to Granny.

Well, despite your lack of spine earlier,

I'm... I'm impressed.

Thanks for standing up for me, Gumball.

That means a lot.

[music stops]

Wait.

Where'd the creepy Nordic techno go?

Bring them to me.

Ah! Okay, this is seriously triggering

my fight and flight response.

No, no! Wait, Gumball.

[grunting]

-[low growl] -[Gumball yells]

[Gumball grunts, yells]

[Gumball panting]

Uh...

Ah!

[grunts]

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Aw, man.

Ha-ha! [chuckles]

-[chuckles nervously] -[low growl]

[Gumball breathing heavily]

[Grandma] Release him!

[gasping]

[yells]

Stay away from me!

No! Baby Cletus!

[crying]

[grunts] No... Get off me!

You've got some nerve, kid,

coming in here, standing up to me for Penny's sake.

So I think it's time we reveal the true nature

of the Fitzgerald clan.

[gasps] Oh, no, no!

[groans]

Huh?

-Hey. -Hello.

-Hi there. -Aw, look.

[indistinct chatter]

Gotcha!

Huh? What the... What the... What the what?

[Patrick] All right, All right.

[laughs] That's enough. Back in your shells, everyone.

[all laughing]

Listen, if you want to join this family, you've got to know

our shells exist to protect those we love,

never to protect ourselves against them.

And some of us, well, huh, they don't need them at all.

Aw, thanks, Dad.

We wear these out of tradition,

but we take them off to show you

that you and Penny are welcome.

Just as you are.

Cha, as an amadain.

Yeah. Good job, Gumball.

You really came through today.

Welcome to the family.

Whoa. Wait, wait up.

What's an amadain?

Oh, it's like a joke.

It means a fool, basically.

Nice, nice. And if I got it right?

I'm now supposed to join this family,

like I wasn't in a bag one second ago?

Are you serious right now?

Never, ever, in my life, will I ever come back here!

Forget you people, I'm gone!

You'll never see me again.

Nothing, and I mean nothing in the world, could stop--
