Skunked

Skunked is the twenty-seventh episode of the second season of Regular Show.

Brief synopsis: Rigby gets sprayed by a were-skunk, and has to eliminate the smell before Rigby turns into a skunk, too.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby are forced by Benson to play "Road Kill Bingo" which involves in filling out a bingo card with dead animals on it when found. Mordecai and Rigby continue picking up roadkill for over eight hours, until they find a presumingly dead skunk and thinking they got a bingo, they start shouting "Bingo!"

Rigby walks over to the skunk and the skunk sprays him; it is revealed that the skunk was simply taking a nap on the road. The skunk refuses to tell Rigby how to get rid of the smell, and is called a "big jerk." Furious, the skunk enlargens to Mordecai's size and grabs Rigby but is threatened with a shovel by Mordecai and scared off. After hearing Mordecai saying that he "reeks," Rigby enlargens much like the skunk and nearly chokes Mordecai to death; but Rigby shortly turns back to normal and Mordecai takes him to see Skips.

Skips says that Rigby was sprayed by a were-skunk, and that Rigby will turn into one too if he cannot get the smell off so the former suggests taking a shower and drinking coffee. Angry at the stupid solutions, Rigby enlargens again and attacks Skips but turning back shortly, the two hurry over to the house. Rigby then takes a shower and uses all the cleaning materials but it doesn't work. Angry at Mordecai, Rigby enlargens and throws him against the wall but after turning back, the duo head over to the coffee shop. Eileen brings Rigby a coffee, the latter drinks it and pours it on himself, to no avail; the former laughs. Rigby enlargens and grabs her yet after seeing the crowd mad and scared at him and a frightened Eileen, he sets her down, turns back to normal, and hurries to the woods in a golfcart, hoping to find the skunk who sprayed him.

Finding him in a log cabin in the woods, Rigby begs the skunk for information on how to get rid of the smell. The skunk then tells Rigby that he hates being the only skunk in town and with Rigby becoming a skunk, he says that they can split the hatred the park gives to the skunk. Furious, Rigby attacks the skunk so the latter tells the former that the cure is pineapple juice. Transforming into a skunk, Rigby hurries to the golf cart which melts from the smell, forcing him to run of foot; as he makes his way there, his path is destroyed behind him because of the putrid smell. Smashing through the door and knocking down Benson, Rigby makes his way to the kitchen and finds the pineapple juice.

After pouring it on himself, Rigby realizes that it didn't work. The skunk catches up to him, and says that he lied so that Rigby would run out of time. Arriving shortly after, Mordecai tells Rigby through the locked kitchen door that the cure is tomato paste. After a huge fight over the paste, Mordecai drives his golfcart into the house, and gets pinned under it. Tossing the tomato paste to the nearly completely transformed Rigby, he smashes the can with a sledgehammer, saying "split this." He returns back to normal; surprisingly, the paste splatter also cured the were-skunk, who is revealed to be human before becoming unconscious. Thinking he still counts as a dead skunk, the duo once again shout "BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Trivia

 * The scene where Rigby is sprayed repeatedly is similar to another scene in "The Unicorns Have To Go".
 * When the Skunk kicks Rigby the tomato paste rolls over it's then seen as it rolls tomato state.
 * This episode references The Incredible Hulk (Rigby grows when angry) and Wolfman (Rigby sprayed and turns into one)
 * The house scene at the end of the episode is a bit greener than usual.
 * The scene where Rigby crushes the can with the slegehammer could be a reference to the prop comic Gallehger, who is famous for smashing watermelons with a hammer.
