Out of Commission

Out of Commission is the thirty-first episode of season three (and seventy-first episode overall) of Regular Show. It aired on June 25, 2012.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby are driving the cart through The Park with manure in the back, and even with all their efforts, they show up late. Benson tells them to ditch the old cart because the month had earned enough money to get the Smärten Kärten, replacing the old cart. Mordecai and Rigby then are trying to defend the old cart, but it is way too much work and money.

They tell it one last goodbye, then followed by drinking a lot of energy drinks. One of the energy drinks spills on the engine, causing the cart to spring to life. Then Cart talks about his sad, miserable life. Mordecai and Rigby feel sorry for his, so they decide to let him do a couple things before he goes. He ends up going for a couple more things to do, including a trip to a car wash, and ends up getting into a fight in a "Family Restaurant" where everything is in quotes.

The duo then find out that Cart wants a final wish, where he wants to jump off a cliff with fireworks on his back. They grant his wish, and they say that was the coolest thing they ever did. Then, Benson called them and told them that he forgot to carry a zero and can't afford the new cart. He also mentioned that the seat warmer caused third degree burns on 70% of Muscle Man's butt. He said he wants the old cart back, and that it wasn't bad after all. Mordecai tells Rigby they have to dive in the water to get Cart out, and it ends the episode.

Trivia

 * The Smärten Kärten is from Germany because of its name and language according to Benson.
 * Guten Tag is good day in German.
 * This is the second time a character speaks in another language besides English, the first being More Smarter.
 * This is the first time the cart comes to life and probably will be the only time.
 * This is the fourth time Mordecai and Rigby got into a fist fight; the first being The Night Owl, the second being Karaoke Video, and the third being Replaced.
 * The "replicant" speech before the Cart goes into the water is when he says "I've seen things you wouldn't believe" is a obvious reference to the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner.
 * This is the first time ever that Mordecai actually cries.
 * This is the fifth time Rigby cries, the first was in Death Punchies, the second was Grilled Cheese Deluxe, third was in Rigby's Body, and the fourth was in Trash Boat.
 * It revealed that Benson used to have a dog, but Mordecai and Rigby took it to Cheezer's and it ran away.
 * Hi Five Ghost speaks for the first time since Gut Model.
 * The scene where Mordecai and Rigby watch planes land over them in the cart before it is taken to the dump is a reference to a similar scene in the movie, Wayne's World.
 * When Mordecai and Rigby poured Thunder Jolt+ over the Cart, the smoke from the inside that formed over the engine was in the shape of a heart.
 * Cart was referred to as the "8th member of the Park" according to Rigby.
 * The fireworks that Mordecai and Rigby used in the cart are from Mexico.
 * It is revealed that Cart was made in Mexico.
 * One of the clerks from 2 in the AM PM (or a dude with a strong resemblance) appears in the crowd along with Mordecai and Rigby during the rock concert.
 * At the end Benson states he forgot to carry a 0, this is not possible considering that 0 has no absolute value.
 * Toby Jones, the storyboard artist and writer for this episode, plays Cart.
