Busted Cart

Busted Cart is the twenty-sixth episode of season three (and sixty-sixth episode overall) of Regular Show.

Plot
The episode opens up with Mordecai and Rigby doing near impossible stunts on a golf cart, and surprisingly not wrecking the cart. However, shortly after getting off the cart, the guys watch in horror as the cart rolls down the hill it was parked on. Mr. Maellard, who was applauding Benson's park management, notices the cart wreck into a tree as Mordecai and Rigby chase after it. Interrupting Benson's yelling at the guys, Maellard takes Benson to his office, ordering him to go to the very far away cart dealership before the warranty expires.

After a day on the road, Benson notices Mordecai and Rigby stowing away in the back of his truck. Benson then angrily orders the guys to do exactly what he says for the rest of the trip. After a mishap with a bottle of water and a bag of napkins, Benson is forced to take a DUI test. After this, Rigby asks why Benson hates the two so much, but he says that he doesn't hate them, just the things that they do and the trio slowly make up with each other, after some jokes and start to enjoy the trip, when Benson inserts a techno music tape into the radio and plays it, having the trio start dancing to it, but then gets pulled over again, along the way. After this, Mordecai takes the wheel in place of a very tired Benson. Keeping to their slacking nature, Mordecai and Rigby decide to pull over and play in a video game arcade, intending to only play in there for thirty minutes.

Hours later, Benson wakes up to find that Mordecai and Rigby have been playing in the arcade for literally all night. He takes them out of the arcade and then begins to erupt into a mix of anger and sadness as he explains that, while it seems to him that Mordecai and Rigby aren't aware that their actions have consequences on others and that they don't seem to care about keeping their jobs, but he cares about keeping his and he will lose it for not turning the cart in to the dealership in time and how he will be left with nothing, thus bursting into tears and taking his "last bathroom break as an employed man". Feeling horrible for their mistake, Mordecai and Rigby take Benson's Truck to Highway 13, an EXTREMELY dangerous shortcut. Benson is able to buy a motorbike off a random passerby, and is able to catch up to the guys, jumping on the truck and wrecking the bike.

In order to survive the highway, Mordecai and Rigby unhook the crashed cart from the truck, and attach it to the truck after getting on the road, allowing Mordecai and Rigby to use their well learned cart stunts with Benson still being in the truck. They manage to barely make it to the dealership with literally a second to spare. However, the trio are injured along the way and to have an ambulance to take them away. On the way to the hospital, Mordecai and Rigby are relieved that they have succeeded, but Benson reminds them that the truck is totalled, to which they then show enthusiasm for the upcoming road trip to take the totalled truck to its respective dealership.
