Summary
Mordecai and Rigby are raking the leaves when Benson gives them their pay. Mordecai and Rigby are mad because Benson always gives their money in a plastic baggy filled with random bills and coins instead of a normal check (then the two compare their payment to Skips). Benson tells them that if they want paychecks, they'll need to not slack off.

As Mordecai and Rigby walk down the street, they get run over by two kids on their skateboards. As they get to The Coffee Shop, they agree that in order to get respect, they need to be good at things; just then, they see people crowding an arcade game called Broken Bonez, being played by the same kids who ran them over. Mordecai then challenges their high score of 700,000 but instead, he and Rigby gets negative points. Mordecai and Rigby decide to play the game more and more in order to get respect; then, a man named Jack Farley, comes to them to try to beat them in the game, but loses. He gives a card to Mordecai and Rigby stating "Jack Farley thinks your awesome."

Mordecai and Rigby are dertermined to gain respect now more than ever, and they dominate everybody on Broken Bonez, earning respect in the process (even receiving doughnuts as a reward for winning). They play Broken Bonez more and more and almost beat the universe record, 1,279,001 points by someone called G.B.F. However, a giant bearded face comes out of nowhere and reveals himself as G.B.F. (short for Garrett Bobby Ferguson), whom challenges Mordecai and Rigby in the game, so he can keep his title.

Despite his great effort, Mordecai and Rigby are close to the high score, but G.B.F. begs them not to break it, stating that Broken Bonez is his life and his wife left him so despite wanting to win, they know that to get respect, they have to do the right thing; however, G.B.F. reveals that he lied and he does not even have a wife and that the game is just a hobby of his. Mordecai and Rigby then skewer G.B.F.'s concentration (considering there not being any rules), along with the crowd. He had already beaten Mordecai and Rigby's score so looked like they're finished, until Jack points out that the game is still on. Mordecai and Rigby play while being sabotaged, then beat up G.B.F, such as biting his leg and kicking his chin. Whilst celebrating victory, Mordecai, Rigby, and the crowd witness G.B.F. exploding into goo.

Benson comes a short while after, bringing checks, but declines it and rips them up, after he thinks Mordecai and Rigby want to waste time playing games (and he was covered in goo). Mordecai and Rigby agreed that they got all the respect they wanted.
