Sad piano music, my only weakness! That was a good episode, it's always nice to see the guys band together to help one of their own. Also that "one hour later" scene was one of the best "drunk" Benson moments I've ever seen. If I had one minor nitpick with The Parkie Awards -and it is minor, it would be I wish they didn't make Gene such an obvious antagonist. I usually like Gene as a character/rival figure, but in this case I feel like the only reason they made him act the way he did was to hammer in how much he didn't deserve to win and Benson did. I don't think this episode needed a bad guy like that to bring home the message. Wouldn't it have been more poignant if, despite how hard Benson worked, the award went to someone who was also genuinely deserving of it? Alot of times, even if you give it your all, there's just going to be guys who can do it better. You may not get to be champion of the world, but you can be champion of your own world. Benson's earned that award as far as his team was concerned, he's already proven himself to the people that matter. It's good to see them bringing it back to that by the end. I also liked how they ended the episode on a sentimental note, which is rare for Regular Show. (And hey, now Benson has something to display next to his World's Best Boss mug.)
