House Rules

House Rules is the name of eighth season three episode of Regular Show.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby are playing video games when Benson walks in and tells them to look at some rules. He added. They start to read it and in the book, there were new rules like "Rule 114: no feet on the table". When they saw that one of the rules that Benson added, which was "Rule 117: no video games", it was pushed the two to a certain point where they had to talk Benson out of it, but didn't work. So they decide to leave the house and find some place where there are no rules.

After trying overnight camping outside the house (which was foiled by another of Benson's rules that was no overnight camping), the duo try their luck at the Coffee Shop. However, when Margaret answers their knocks, she tells them they can't camp there on account of her boss's rules. The two then try their luck at other places, to no success, once narrowly avoiding being bludgeoned by a person named Gunther.

In an alley, Mordecai and Rigby meet No Rules Man who knows a place with no rules so Mordecai and Rigby follow him to a place with no rules (which was inside a big box of garbage) and thought it was very cool until they saw the unicorns that they killed in The Unicorns Have Got To Go and tells No Rules Man to get rid of them but this makes him upset because he thinks they told him what to do. So everyone starts to attack them and Mordecai finds out that its not against the rules to have rules so he makes Benson's rule book appear to get rid of the problem and convince No Rules Man to tell them the way out. When Mordecai and Rigby go back to the house, they go back to Benson so he can accept them back into the house and believes that they have learned their lesson, but Benson notices that one rule is ripped out and Mordecai asks which one was it. Meanwhile, No Rules Man is playing the game, "Karate Choppers", when a piece of paper lands on his lap. On the piece of paper was the missing rule which was "no video games" and when he read it, he exploded.
