Ep 16. The Apprentice

The Amazing World of Gumball is a popular animated show that follows the adventures of Gumball and his family and friends in the fictional Elmore city. In season 7 episode 16, titled The Apprentice, Gumball and Darwin are on a mission to find jobs in order to make money and pay for a videogame they desperately want to buy.

The episode opens with Gumball and Darwin watching a commercial for an employment agency called Temp Agency. They immediately visit the agency and meet the manager, a stern-looking robot named Rob. Rob tells them that they will have to pass a series of tests in order to get the best jobs available. Gumball and Darwin are excited and eager to prove themselves, but things quickly go awry.

The first test involves sorting a pile of files, but Gumball and Darwin, in their enthusiasm, end up causing chaos by throwing papers in the air and accidentally breaking a vase. Rob is not impressed and gives them a stern warning. The second test involves data entry, but Gumball ends up misspelling everything he types and Darwin accidentally deletes the entire database. Rob is furious and decides to give them one more chance.

The third test involves working at a fast-food restaurant, which Gumball and Darwin initially think will be easy. However, they quickly learn that the job is more difficult than they imagined, with customers being rude and orders being complicated. Gumball accidentally mixes up orders and Darwin spills a drink on a customer, leading to chaos in the restaurant and a bad review from a food critic. Rob is angry but decides to give them one more chance, this time as his personal assistants.

As Rob's assistants, Gumball and Darwin are excited to finally have a chance to prove themselves. However, they quickly learn that being Rob's assistant is not as glamorous as they imagined. Rob makes them do menial tasks like shining his shoes and making coffee, while also berating them every chance he gets. Gumball and Darwin try their best, but are constantly criticized by Rob.

Despite their best efforts, Gumball and Darwin's employment opportunities continue to dwindle. They are offered jobs at a fast-food joint and as curtain installers, but they ultimately lose these jobs due to their incompetence. It seems like all hope is lost, until a new job opportunity arises.

The episode ends with Gumball and Darwin landing a job as apprentices for a local carpenter. The carpenter is impressed by their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, and takes them under his wing. Gumball and Darwin finally feel like they have found the perfect job, but as usual, chaos and hilarity ensue.

Overall, The Apprentice is a classic episode of The Amazing World of Gumball, with the familiar themes of friendship, humor and perseverance. It's a great reminder that no matter how many times you fail, you can always pick yourself up and try again.
