I introduced my friends via "I Got A Receipt", but that's mostly because they're table-top RPGers and Realm of Darthon is the most Synnibar game out there.

My personal favorite is Death Punchies because of the sheer escalation and speed of the plot, the 80s references, "NOOOO!", cutoffs and mullets, "duh duh duh duh duh, DIG CHAMPS!", and of course the montage set to "You're The Best Around."

Cross posting from the Adventure Time thread, but if there is supposed to be a new episode on tonight check your DVR because mine doesn't have it or Adventure Time set to record. The guide on my TV also lists every episode they air today with the same description so I don't know if that's what is throwing my DVR off.

Mines doing that as well. I tried deleting it and recording it again, but that didn't work.

It's not just Regular Show, I also tried King of the Hill and got the generic description.

Just follow the show on Facebook or the creators on Twitter tonight. Tonight's episode is called Unpranked, I think, and it's about Muscle Man nearly killing Pops and having to quit pranking for good.

Make 'em watch The Power and Death Punchies back-to-back. If they aren't interested in the show after watching those two, it isn't for them.

If they don't like it by the end of those three, they're not going to.

Besides the extra focus on him, it seems that Muscle Man gets treated differently, both by the writers and by the other characters. I mean, the extra focus he gets is obvious, but some other things are weird too. For example, between Benson condoning him doing things like shoving Rigby's face in manure during the mentoring episode (something neither Muscle Man nor Benson got called out on, apart from Mordecai saying it was wrong early on) and how in this one he cared more about getting Muscle Man pranking again than that he almost killed Pops, going so far as to use Pops as a tool in getting him back, it's like he has a Mary Sue-like immunity to the rules. Meanwhile Mordecai and Rigby almost got fired the time they injured Pops, among all the other things they almost got fired over.

Heck, the one time he did get punished that I can recall (excluding Benson firing him in the Don episode, which didn't last), when he was fired because they thought he was the one painting graffiti all over the park, Skips was obviously pretty pissed at Mordecai and Rigby for getting him fired, despite it being the reasonable course of action based on what they knew at the time. Between that and the positive development and importance he's had in the past season (him being made out to be less obviously terrible, him being needed to win the prank war, etc.), he's looking to be developing into, well, as I said earlier, a Mary Sue. Which sucks, because he's a lot funnier when he's the pig-like rear end in a top hat who messes with Mordecai and Rigby than the third main character who's better than the first two.

Any episode with a licensed music track. Eggscellent, for example, is just kinda okay, but then loving "I Need A Hero" comes on for an omelette training montage and I can't stop laughing.

Benson and everyone else have always treated Muscle Man and High Five Ghost better than Mordecai and Rigby. Also, I don't think you know what a Mary Sue is.

I don't mind that Muscle Man gets episodes, but how about the other supporting characters? Seems like Pops has been reduced to small cameos lately. How about bringing Don back? When is High Five Ghost going to actually show up in one of these Muscle Man episodes?? Some friend!

This episode was amazing because after the montage it leads right to the part that has of all things a The Last Crusade reference.

Yeah, that's what's really bothering me. I like Muscle Man, but dedicate some episodes to other characters. I have a lot of trouble believing that they have a hard time thinking of plots for Pops or Skips.

I agree that it's time for the other characters to shine. We know next to nothing about High Five Ghost, for example.

I love the idea of two birds, a raccoon and a mole visiting an abandoned zoo.

It was nice not to have a Muscle Man episode this week, I don't dislike Muscle Man but there had been far too much focus on him recently.
