Avatars of the coffee montage would be awesome. Almost as awesome as FIST PUMP.

A game like that shouldn't have voice sampling

Sure it can. You never played Impossible Mission or Castle Wolfenstein on the Commodore 64?

Those games came on much larger storage media than what those cartridges were supposed to be. Impossible Mission came on a tape and Castle Wolfenstein's audio was practically incomprehensible, despite being on a floppy disk.

Why the hell am I even saying any of this? It was a great episode.

My Commodore Impossible Mission came on a single sided 170K floppy disk. NES cartridges weren't that far off... I'm just sayin' that this sort of thing isn't impossible from games of the time.

Of course, it's because the C64 had the superior sound chip known as the SID that made synthesized speech possible.

Regular Show is still a... well, regular show for the most part. That means having a female character in there somewhere. And what's more regular than the loser stoner twenty something crushing on the coffee girl?

If anything the blend of the regular (coffee girl) with the unexplained and silly (she's a red-breasted robin) is pretty much the whole point.

Mordecai is Charlie from Always Sunny, just with some extra literacy.

Really? I'd attribute Charlie to Rigby based on his hyperactivity, lack of education, etc.

I was referring to both of their hapless pursuits of a coffee-serving woman that they can never have.

But yeah, in terms of actions, I guess Rigby is a better Charlie.

I loved this episode. It had a happy ending, and you know what? I like happy endings. I was expecting some serious schadenfreude fodder, and instead I got a nice, cool episode. That was amazing.

It wasn't happy for Mordecai in the end.

For people saying this show doesn't need character development, it felt like Rigby sure got a good amount in this one.

Assuming it sticks, of course.

Loved the little musical shout-out to Punch-Out in this episode.

edit: also clearly obvious homage to Catscratch Fever.

To be fair, he did warn them.

Yeah, but he was giving them impossible tasks, setting them up to fail. Kind of a jerk move, but usual for Benson.

He was making them do the work that they had kept blowing off. Punishment for slacking.

That was a late night post, so I should clarify - I meant the final task (sorting that garage), he's obviously loving with them at that point.

I do kind of like the sort of cosmic odds against Mordecai and Rigby - even when they're doing their jobs in a sort of non-slacking way (during the montage) things beyond their control come to screw them up, like the leaves being blown in the wind after they raked them all up.

I dunno, the episode just felt very unsatisfying to me. M & R didn't learn a lesson, they were just left empty handed and nobody grew or changed at the end. The punishment wasn't amusing, either, though I'm sure Benson enjoyed the burgers. They'll still be slacking next week. The show's normally very good at having some sort of growth beyond its usual reset button (e.g. the relationship stuff a few weeks ago).

(I really did love the raining hail of rocks at the glass holograms, though. Beautiful scene)

Yeah, but they haven't had licensed music in quite a long time, so I thought they'd given up on it. It's good to have it back.

Regular Show is getting a comic book series, and it'll be written by none other than forum semi-regular KC Green.
