However, Gumball explains that history is also very violent. The children crash in on a second PTA meeting and explain to everyone through a song that literature has just as much violence as depicted in video games, if not more, which makes Felicity claim that all fiction must therefore be banned as well. Darwin then gets an idea that they should read as much as possible to see what the parents think of the negative influence that comes from books. Upon investigation, they find out he was screaming because of a book he was reading. Amidst their boredom, they hear Banana Joe scream. With video games gone, the children are forced to read books. Felicity then closes the case in favor of banning video games. Gumball's final attempt involves trying to show girls enjoy gaming too, but this attempt fails due to Felicity assuming Tina's (and her father's) monstrous appearance is a result of her playing video games. However, Banana Joe overreacts to a fire in a game he is playing. His second attempt involves trying to show Felicity that video games do not make kids lose contact with reality. Inspired by the brothers' determination, Felicity gives them three chances to prove their point.įirst, Gumball attempts to prove that video games can make people socially active, but his family's actions while playing a tennis game and then a fishing game cause this to backfire. Just then, Gumball and Darwin arrive (unconvincingly disguised as Nicole and Richard) and try to convince the attenders to vote against Felicity's decision, arguing that video games can also be beneficial. Billy follows Gumball's suggestion and begins playing, which shocks him and causes him to have a nervous breakdown (even though he did not actually play and broke down while the game was still loading).ĭue to this incident, Felicity calls all the parents to a PTA meeting where she declares that all video games must be banned, which most of those present agree with. Though Billy claims that video games are dangerous and make people lose contact with reality, Darwin denies this and claims they are simply entertaining. However, Billy comes in and reveals that he has never played any video games, so Gumball suggests he should try playing. The episode begins with Gumball, Darwin, and some of their classmates going into the school library in order to play video games. Important details about the plot or story are up ahead
