2 in the AM PM

2 in the AM PM is one of J.G. Quintel's student films. Many of the characters in Regular Show are based off of concepts and characters from the short. This is the only work of Quintel's to be severely inappropriate, varying from explicit language to nudity and sexual content.

Plot
The short film begins with two clerks working at the gas station. It is suggested that it takes place during the middle of the night, but the title suggests otherwise. The shorter clerk, voiced by Sam Marin, comes off as having a negative personality, and is heard in the beginning saying "two more hours... f--k! " referring to time that they still have to work. The taller clerk, voiced by J.G. Quintel is much more relaxed, and seems to have a brighter outlook on life in general. He indicates it is Halloween, and tries to convince his fellow worker that "you gotta have candy on Halloween. It's Halloween." This is met with an "eh," by Sam. Eventually, though, he is convinced to have a piece of candy with J.G.

After eating the candy, though, Sam says he thinks there's something wrong with the candy. J.G. thinks for a while, and tells him "oh, yeah yeah, that's because I put... drugs in it." Sam asks what drug is in the candy. J.G. responds "It's just a little marijuana. It's just a little marijuana." After Sam's negative reaction, he thinks for a minute, and says "Oh no wait, haha! Don't worry, dude... I didn't put any weed in this candy. It was acid!" Sam gets even angrier and yells "What?! Acid?! What the f--k is wrong with you?!", but soon eventually accepts that he must just ride it out, per J.G.'s suggestion.

Sam asks when it is supposed to kick in. At this moment, we see him morph into a gumball machine very similar to Benson, which is met by J.G.'s response: "right f--kin' now!" J.G. looks in the mirror, and sees himself as a gumball machine too. As the movie progresses, J.G. turns into a character very similar to Mordecai. At one point in time, he also turns into a charachter that looks very similar to Pops. Sam is worried, because he feels that they "can't help people when we're like this." J.G. responds "Yeah we can... ...it's two in the morning, nobody's comin' in for gas right now, okay?"

At this moment, we hear the "ding ding" of the bell, indicating a car has arrived. Sam and J.G. look out the window, only to see a naked guy on all-fours, with his car holding the gas pump up to his butt. Both the man and the car quickly turn to the two workers, which causes them to duck below the counter. J.G. tells Sam that if they concentrate on what they're supposed to look like, the effects will wear off faster. They do, and we see them turn back into their normal selves.

They hear the door open, and when they rise up from below the counter, they both see a police officer has entered the store. They all exchange fairly awkward pleasantries, and then the police officer tries to scare them, saying "you two stayin' outta trouble?" He then plays it off as a joke, though, saying he just needed some chips as a midnight snack. After paying for the chips, he continues to stand and eat the chips, saying that they are "a little stale." When offered new chips, he says "no no, it's fine." He then proceeds to inhale the entire chips and bag, tear his head off and fly out of the store, smashing the door in the process.

J.G, asks Sam "Do you hear that?" "What, what?" Sam asks. J.G. then lets out a very loud fartthumb|left|226px|The short (WARNING! ITS FOR KIDS.), and smiles with his mouth open. Sam says "I f--king hate you." J.G. replies "Aw come on, it's supposed to be fun."

Trivia/Goofs

 * During the morphing, Mordecai briefly morphs into what appeared to be someone similar to Pops.
 * This short features more still frames with less full animation unlike The Naive Man from Lolliland which features more full animation and less still frames.
 * This is the only work by J.G. Quintel to be severely inappropriate, at least before Regular Show.
 * Unlike The Naive Man from Lolliland, this short did not air in Nickelodeon nor Cartoon Network, likely becuse of the swearing and drug use. Although sometime in the future, broadcasts of 2 in the AM PM will accept airing on Adult Swim with bleep tracks on the swearing to reach a TV-MA rating.
 * The noise the taller clerk makes when he is a dolphin is similar to Flapjack's laugh from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, a cartoon Quintel used to write for.
 * The part when the police flies out of the store was reused for the episode Benson Be Gone when Susan, the new manager, flies out of the house. This was confirmed on Calvin Wong's Formspring.
 * The living car may be a reference of Ello Gov'nor (the British taxi).
 * The scene where Benson eats one of the gumballs inside of him and the taller clerk seems impressed is copied in The Unicorns Have Got To Go when the Unicorns eat Benson's gumballs and laugh.
 * The phrase "Yay-uh" is used in this short but it would be reused again several times in Regular Show.
 * Like The Naive Man from Lolliland this short has traits of Regular Show chracters (models of Mordecai, Benson, and Pops) The surreal effects but a new trait was made one of the show's weird phrases (Yea-yah) and being called "dude" or "man."
 * When proto-Benson asks proto-Mordecai what to do, he says for Benson to shut up. After this, instead of being darkened, his gumballs aren't shaded in.
 * A while after J.G. and Sam transform back to normal, Sam charges the cop $1.24 for a product. This would never occur at gas stations.
 * This is the first time Mordecai, or his prototype, says "shut up". Another time he says it is Meat Your Maker.
 * Unlike Regular Show, 2 in the AM PM uses TV-MA-L-D-rated (where they said "f***" and "s***" numerous times) swears instead of TV-PG-rated language, though Adventure Time censored it in "The Duke", "The Other Tarts" and "Mystery Train".
 * The morphing in this short is reused in Temp Check when Doug transforms into Rigby.
 * When J.G. turns to Mordecai, he was wearing a packet, like the one from The Power and But I Have a Receipt, but the next minute it disappears, probably because he already took it off.
 * The naked driver is the first one in a short to be naked.
 * There was a copied scene from The Regular Show Halloween Special [ a.k.a Terror Tales of The Park] where Mordecai tells Rigby  Wait! Did you hear that?,then farts with Rigby covering his nose while Mordecai laughs.
