"The Signal" is the twenty-fourth episode of Season 4 of The Amazing World of Gumball. It is the 140th episode overall.
Gumball develops a strange stutter, and it makes him accidentally offend Darwin.
The episode begins with Gumball and Darwin at the Elmore Mall, with the latter trying on new hats.
When Gumball is about to tell him he looks great, he begins to glitch. Gumball tries to talk to Darwin again, but he continues to glitch. When Darwin tries on a small beanie, he asks Gumball if the beanie makes it look like he has a fat head. Gumball tries to compliment him on it, but he starts glitching again. Darwin, thinking that Gumball is trying to insult him, storms off. Gumball tries to catch up with him, but the scene glitches out.
The next scene shows a "No Signal" message on the TV at home, with a panicked Richard trying to fix it. Gumball arrives home and asks his dad where Darwin is. Richard moves the sofa into the kitchen, deciding to watch the fridge instead of the TV. Darwin is exercising, and Gumball tries to talk to him, but glitches again, injuring Darwin by accident.
In the bathroom, Darwin gets mad, but Gumball cheers him up by tickling him. When Darwin smiles, he glitches and looks like he was melting, nauseating Gumball. They both quickly brush it off and decide to hug and make up, but Darwin glitches again showing human eyes replacing his regular eyes, nauseating Gumball again. Darwin storms out of the bathroom.
In his room, Gumball types an apology message to Darwin and reads it out, but he glitches again and makes the message seem rude when he reads it, so Darwin gets mad and slams the door in his face.
In the living room, Gumball keeps trying to apologize to Darwin, but the scene jumps to them fighting. Richard then pretends to glitch in order to distract them. Now that they have stopped fighting, Richard takes them to buy them an ice cream (which is just an excuse to get himself some ice cream). In the car, Richard tries to cheer the boys up by playing a game. Darwin sarcastically suggests playing a game about what offensive thing Gumball will say next. Richard, not understanding his sarcasm, decides to play and makes up very funny insults, which starts to cheer Darwin up, but the scene then glitches and jumps to a gas station, where Richard is filling the car with gas. Darwin finally realizes that Gumball was not insulting him all along and sees that the glitching was the cause. Darwin apologizes for not believing him, until they start screaming at the realization that the car is now moving down the highway without a driver.

Series director Mic Graves' name has been seen on everything from books and logos to TV appearances (cf. "The Signal" where half of Gumball's face is cut off with a clip from a talk show called The Jack Dingle Show that has the topic "Mic Graves Ate My Hamster"). Cringe Comedy: Many episodes feature this.
