Plot
Mordecai and Rigby are watching a wrestling match on TV and start wrestling a doll. Mordecai throws Rigby, who hits his trampoline, which causes him to bounce off of it. He hits the wall and makes a big hole. Worried that it will cost them their jobs, they decide that they have to convince Benson to give them raises in order to repair it.

Rigby tries to convince Mordecai to go with his plans for the raises, but Mordecai refuses to listen to Rigby. To achieve their goal, they decide to use a magic keyboard Rigby stole from a wizard at the park. They test it on Pops, which successfully works when he gives them lollipops, and then try it on Benson, who gives them $20 each and compliments them. The duo realizes that with the keyboard, they can do anything they ever wanted, leading to a montage of Mordecai and Rigby playing with the keyboard, but their fun is interrupted by Skips. Worried, they try to get rid of him, but Rigby screws up the lyrics and sends Skips to the moon instead. They tell Benson and Pops they sent Skips to the moon so they disagree and knowing that this will cost their jobs more than the hole in the wall, they go to the Moon, taking Benson and Pops with them, and learn that Rigby sent many random items to the Moon while they were in the house. One of them is a giant monster (which seems to be an amalgam of Mordecai, Rigby, and the wrestler doll Beef Burrito) that attacks "Skips", and the keyboard’s batteries run out at the worst possible time. Rigby manages to save Skips with his “hamboning” technique, and Skips plugs in the golf cart’s wires into the keyboard, powering it up again, and successfully takes them home before the monster smashes them. They land in Mordecai and Rigby's room safely and the rest of the wall (around the hole) breaks off; however, Skips confiscates their keyboard as payment for Mordecai and Rigby sending him to the Moon and destroys it, and Benson, turning hellish red in anger, reclaims the money that Mordecai and Rigby conned from him, then tells them to clean up their room, and threatens to fire them. Soon he, Skips, and Pops leave. The two believe the mess is the hole in the wall, so they cover it up with a poster.

Trivia

 * This episode is the first to use the catchphrase, "Yeeaaaauuhh!".


 * This is considered the second episode, but is officially the first because The Pilot never aired on television. The Pliot later aired as an Season 2 Episode and was extended.


 * In But I Have a Receipt, Pops's key-tar he has in The Realm of Darthon resembles the key-tar Mordecai uses in a montage in this episode.
 * In This Is My Jam, the keyboard Pops uses in Aw, Snap! also bears a strong resemblance to The Power.
 * Even though Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost are main characters, they don't appear until the next episode, Just Set Up the Chairs.
 * Technically, there is no air in space, but the episode disregards that.
 * During one point in the montage, Rigby defied the laws of gravity by floating above the ground.


 * Goof: When Mordecai tells Rigby that they have to get Skips back from The Moon, the "g" sound in "get" is not heard, making him sound like he said "et".


 * In the UK, there were some changes made due to censorship.


 * In Telemundo English, there were also some changes made.
 * In the Latin Amercia version there were changes, too.
 * Goof: When Mordecai requests that Rigby sends Skips back (after Rigby sent him to the moon), he says "It doesn't work that way, I have to be able to see him!" But later, he can send a bunch of random stuff to the moon without seeing them.
