Thanks to Nintega for giving a few ideas for this one!

A flashback starts where Richard has Gumball and Darwin's clothes in the dishwasher
Richard: Okay, Nicole said I needed to use a quarter cup of washing liquid and a half cup of softener, and set it for exactly one hour and two minutes. Wait three seconds... and go
Firstly, why did Nicole trust him to do this? The last time he did Gumball's clothes shrunk and he had to go to school in her wedding dress. +1

Secondly, why was he washing Darwin's shoes with the rest of the clothes? Nobody ever washes shoes like this. +1

Thirdly, there was no way those were the only set of clothes they had right? +1 

Gumball: Did you just put the clothes in the dishwasher?
Gumball stood and watched this whole thing happen and not once thought to point it out until his clothes were already destroyed +5

Darwin: Then what did you do with the dishes?
Scene changes to the washing machine, "washing" the dishes
End of flashback
Gumball: Let's just say we like to dress sharp, but not that sharp.
Richard allowed the two of them to go to school nude here despite being heavily against and scared of doing so in The Dress +1

Nigel Brown: No, it was the PIXELATED PART!
Darwin's feet are pixelated here despite being shown completely uncensored in the flashback only a few seconds prior +1

Nigel Brown: Do I really need to add another Watterson amendment to the school's rule book?! He pulls out a heavy rule book from his drawer, panting
Okay, I know Gumball is a troublemaker, but there's no way he and Darwin alone have caused THAT many rules to be added. Even if you include Anais too, there's still no way it'd be anywhere near that many +1

Also surely "Students cannot attend naked" would already be not only a school rule but literally the law +1

While he talks, Gumball observes the diploma on Principal Brown's wall. He sees it is just painted on the wall and has a banana sticker for a seal of authenticity
Gumball: What if you have a fake diploma?
The two of them have been in this office tens, if not hundreds of times before, and it took them until now to finally notice this +5

Gumball: Don't worry, Principal Brown. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you.
Nigel Brown: Menacingly Oh I see. It's gonna be like that, is it?
Darwin: Yeah, it's gonna be like that.
Nigel Brown: Oh I get it.
Gumball: Uh, do you? 'Cause it doesn't seem like you do. Principal Brown faces Gumball and sticks out his nose
Nigel Brown: Grunts I got the message.
Gumball: Riiight...
Gumball and Darwin leave the Principal's office
Darwin: I'm still not sure he understood.
Gumball: Yeah, me neither, but that seemed like it was gonna go on forever.
Gumball and Darwin begin to walk away, but Principal Brown immediately drags them back into the office
Nigel Brown: O-okay, so, what do you want? Just name it. Anything, anything! Uh, do you want me to bump your grades? I can do that! I can bump your grades! I can do that!
Despite pretty much confirming they won't tell anyone Principal Brown still proceeds to attempt to bribe them not to do so. +1

At the cafeteria
Gumball: Dude, check this out!
And suddenly, they're fully clothed again despite having no other clothes to wear earlier on. And there's no way Richard would have gone all the way to the store, found the exact clothes and shoes the two normally wear and brought them over to school in only a few hours. It was an entire day-long quest for him to get a single jar of mayonnaise for crying out loud.  +1
