Gumball & Darwin (Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL)

Gumball Watterson is a twelve-year-old blue cat who repeatedly causes mischief across the town and has an epic flair for misadventure. But no matter how his dumb schemes turn out, Gumball never seems to learn his lesson afterwards. Despite his rambunctious behavior, he can be loyal, serious and often kind-hearted. He is often victim of circumstance.
and Darwin Watterson is Gumball's foster fish brother and best friend. He was initially Gumball's pet fish, though he was promptly integrated into the family once he grew legs and lungs. Darwin is a kind-hearted spirit who sees the best in everyone and only wants to see others happy. As Gumball's right hand man, he is quick to point out the flaws in his misguided plans and acts as a sort of "moral-guardian" of sorts to him.
And despite the duo being funny troublemaking-pranksters and the most enjoyable kids in Elmore, They often find themselves in nonsensical situations.
