Review: Regular Show ‘Survival Skills’

Beat me if you can, survive if I let you!

Spoilers Below

The park’s throwing a BBQ and after a boring presentation, Benson wants to cook up some quesadillas. Problem is, Mordecai and Rigby forgot the tortillas and they have to go to the grocery store to get some. On the way back, the guys have a good laugh at Benson’s expense, but get stuck in the middle of the woods with the golf cart that now has no gas. With no way to communicate, the duo have to walk through the woods, but they get lost and now have to survive in the wilderness. To try and live, the guys start eating the tree bark for food, but start tripping out like mofos. We learn that Benson taught everyone all about surviving in the woods, but of course Mordecai and Rigby did NOT listen. The things they did hear they utilize in a rather entertaining montage that ends with the guys traveling through the snow on the brink of death. Mordecai and Rigby decide to give one last go at finding a cell signal before their cell phone dies, but end up running into the park crew. At first the guys were under the impression that weeks have passed, but really it was just a few hours. With no tortilla’s, Benson throws on some backup burgers.

What is it with Regular Show and Mexican food this season? These last three episodes have featured burritos, chimichangas, and now quesadillas all of which just makes me want to go to Taco Bell for dinner. In any case, this week’s episode was rather hysterical because Mordecai and Rigby just seem to be getting more sarcastic as time goes on. Also, I couldn’t help but notice that Rigby is just getting a tad more crass as of late of which I certainly approve and anytime we can get more trippy acid scenes, that usually provides for a good day. The idea of Mordecai and Rigby having NO way to contact anyone was a bit outlandish, but overall one of the best episodes of the young season.
