“	The worst part about this job is you give people a second chance and you still end up having to taze them.	„
	~ The Donut Cop's philosophy.

The Donut Cop is a supporting character in Cartoon Network's The Amazing World of Gumball franchise. He is the chief of police in Elmore, but is terrible at doing his job.

He is voiced by Dan Russell.

His Evil Ranking[]

His Evil Deeds[]

In General[]

Despite being an officer of the law, he is extremely moronic, lazy, and incompetent, often being oblivious to criminal activity, wrongfully arresting people, slacking off by eating junk food instead of doing his job, and causing chaos when he should be doing the opposite.
He often acts abusively towards citizens, either to protect his own interests or for his own enjoyment.
He commits various crimes throughout the series, despite being a police officer.

The Amazing World of Gumball[]

Season 2[]

In "The Tag", while he does understandably put Richard and Mr. Robinson under house arrest when they begin feuding, when they are put outside by Gumball and Darwin into a garbage bin, he tases them despite neither posing a threat.
In "The Castle", he joins the rest of the Elmore citizens trashing the Watterson household without consent, and ironically tells Gumball to join the fun instead when the latter calls the police for help.

Season 3[]

In "The Law", he becomes hellbent on proving Gumball and Darwin wrong when they call his job boring and starts abusing his authority in many ways:
- He scares people using his siren to launch them into the air, after which they fall back down.
- He uses a taser to steal sodas from a vending machine, which then explodes and begins launching them out.
- He electrocutes Bobert and forcibly cause him to dance, inadvertently turns him into a malevolent mech that shoots lasers at Gumball and Darwin, which could have killed them.
- He tases air dancers and inadvertently setting them on fire.
- He electrocutes an ATM with the intent of stealing money, which instead just melts it all into green goo.
- When he damages his car, he steals one from a citizen.
- He begins speeding across town and damaging property and endangering citizens that are nearly run over, and eventually with his eyes closed, hands off the steering wheel, and finally, in reverse; only stopping when he hits a stroller that launches a soda can at a baby's head.
- In the same episode, he rightfully arrests the highly dangerous Felicity Parham, who had been going on a psychotic rampage, to make up for what he did after being fired, only to let her off with a "warning" to be cool again.
In "The Pizza", after Elmore's economy crashes and falls into apocalypse, he attacks Sal Left Thumb to steal a TV from him and begins looting stores in the decimated town like everyone else, justifying that Larry, who had quit all his jobs earlier, worked as the police force accountant and he hasn't been paid, and with that, he curses out everyone else.
In "The Butterfly", he arbitrarily fines Marvin for "street dancing without a license," even though he was just reaching for a $20 bill.
In "The Friend", he and the police force try to arrest the Chimera, and when the Chimera threatens to blow himself up by drinking soda and mints if they don't let him go, Donut Cop just yells "FIRE!" by misinterpreting his "manual," causing him to get tased, inject the food and explode to his apparent death.
In "The Nobody", when Gumball calls him for help since "someone" (Rob) is living in his house, Donut Cop just says "That someone is you" and hangs up without helping since Gumball is in the house as well.

Season 5[]

In "The Boredom", he notices his donuts are missing and starts speeding towards the donut store, and another cop sees this and reports a speeding car to him, after which he begins chasing down who he doesn't know is himself, referring to him as the "4:00 offender."
- He begins driving recklessly and causes several crashes, knocks down a traffic light that falls onto Marvin's head, destroys a fire hydrant that launches him across town, accidentally decapitates Leslie with one of his rims that fell off, and bursts through several houses, setting two fires.
- Even after the other cop realizes he's just chasing himself, Donut Cop continues anyway.
In "The Stars", he refuses to do his job and stop a dangerous car speeding down a steep road, as he would be rated one star by Larry's website and "busted down to traffic cop."
In "The Heist", even though he investigates the bank robbery, he is arbitrarily hostile to Larry, who is merely suggesting more competent ways to catch the thief, and has unfounded suspicions that he is responsible for it and even mentions having given him a full body search.
In "The Intelligence", he is the judge at Mrs. Robinson's witch trial and tries to get her burned at the stake without evidence.

Season 6[]

In "The Possession", he accidentally backs into and knocks down a tree that was untouched for generations, leaving Mr. Small upset, and insinuates "I was never here."
- When Mr. Small continues to express shock, Donut Cop claims he warned him and then tases him, leaving him screaming loudly enough to be heard across the forest.

The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball[]

In "The Teacher", he and the rest of the police use their high-tech gear to falsely attack Sal Left Thumb after it's revealed that the school's budget was squandered on said gear, throwing their "robot dogs" from a helicopter that crush him, and destroying them in a complete waste.
In "The Portrait", he and the rest of the police attack and arrest the Watterson family after they are framed by a corrupt control officer for helping Frankie Watterson escape arrest, and even promotes the corrupt officer to chief of police.

Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]

While he passes the baseline due to recklessly endangering dozens of Elmore citizens with a car, he fails the heinous standards compared to other villains in the show, such as Margaret Robinson, who also shares his reckless endangerment alongside more heinous acts. He is also a police chief, giving him higher resources.
He is On & Off, since he usually has good intentions, often being affable to the people of Elmore and trying to help; he is even capable of heroic deeds such as attempting to stop Rob from blowing up a bus in "The Bus" or (briefly) Felicity's rampage in "The Law".
He has genuine friendships with other characters, including the rest of the police department, and even feelings for the female coffee cop.
He is an anti-villain, as for all his flaws and evil acts he is still someone with good intentions due to being an officer of the law. Even his worst act of endangerment is treated more as him being in over his head rather than malicious.
He feels remorse for his actions in both "The Law" and "The Friend."
He is not taken seriously in the slightest, with his villainous acts serving as a running gag and parody of real-life corruption.
