[last lines]
Rob: Okay, alright, stop!
[facepalms]
Rob: This is not gonna work.
[snaps his fingers at Timmy]
Rob: Okay, you! Give me a character that is optimistic, fun, and that all the children will love.
Timmy: Eh... .
[scrolls through some text]
Timmy: Okay, I think I got one! He's a dog--you know some kind of Great Dane that can't speak properly, and he's got all these kooky friends who wear flare trousers, and they solve mysteries in a van.
Rob: Great!
[to the camera]
Rob: Then from now on, children, you should give up on Gumball, and watch this other guy!
Timmy: Yeah, but... .isn't that on a different channel? So...
Rob: [frantically reaches for the camera] No, no, no! WAIT!
[the camera switches off]

Tobias: Hey, big eye! What's up?
[William says nothing. Rob walks in]
Rob: Okay, cut! Cut! William, you're supposed to take a sip and then say, "I got a date, Tobias, but she thinks I'm in the tennis club." Then, Tobias says...
Tobias: "Join the tennis club, then!"
Rob: Very good! Then you say, "Are you crazy? What do you think will happen to me at a tennis club?"
Tobias: And then I say, "Oh, yeah. They might mistake you for the ball."
Rob: Alright, then you say, "What? No, I'm scared of getting tennis elbow!" Got it? Okay! Everyone on their marks! Let's go!
[Walks off]
Rob: Okay, action! And... take a sip!
[William dunks himself into his mug and warps the room. Rob walks back in]
Rob: No, no, no! Your line, man! You're supposed to say...
Tobias: He did, he did! You can't hear it! He's using some kind of telepathic...
Rob: Just say it louder this time, please! Action!
[walks off]
Tobias: Nononono! Wait!
[He warps the room again and Tobias grows a little more melted]
Rob: [off screen] Cut! William, make an effort, please! I need everyone on set to hear what you say! Come on! Diction, diction! Action!
Tobias: No, wait!
[He warps the room again, causing the screen to break. The TV signal is lost]

[first lines]
Rob: [smiling] Your program has been interrupted. With the help of my friend, the Internet. I'm hereby hijacking this broadcast. People of the world, you don't need that false hero! Please enjoy this amazing world! Without Gumball! Trust me, it's much better.
[Rob inserts the tape onto the VHS, plays the video, and it plays a live action sock puppet dancing]
Rob: [shocked] What? What is that?
Timmy: Well, I'm the Internet. It's kind of what I do.
Rob: Wha- uh...
[Rob sighs and facepalms; switching the TV source to VHS]
Rob: Let's just run the tape.
