Plot
When Skips kills Rigby by body-slamming him into a table, he must defeat Death in an arm wrestle competition to bring Rigby back.So how did Skips kill Rigby? It all starts when Benson is complimenting Skips about how he is the strongest. Later a montage with all of them (except Rigby) fight him and lose and that is when Rigby asks for a challenge. Rigby beats him using a prank called the PlayCo Armboy, which only Mordecai knows about so far, leaving Skips furious. He demands a rematch and loses again. The next day Pops comforts Skips telling him he just had a bad day, then Skips thanks him and goes off to face Rigby. After Rigby refuses he breaks Mordecai and Rigby's game system. Later in his house Mordecai, Rigby, and skips walk in and Benson tells him he has to pay for their game system which Skips says after he faces Rigby which he does but still loses. Later, they are all going expect Skips when HFG calls shotgun. Mordecai then realizes he forgot his ticket and walks into Skips' house. Skips is furious which makes Mordecai tell him that Rigby was just pranking him. When they are all there Skips enters and challenges Rigby, after he reveals the PlayCo Armboy he beats and kills him. Then it goes back to Skips looking at Rigby's dead body until Death enters. They then arm wrestle (Skips getting to keep Rigby if he won, but being taken instead if he lost), floating up in the air and spinning wildly. After Skips is about to lose he uses the PlayCo Armboy and beats Death. Once Death leaves, Rigby wakes up and insists on pranking the others while Skips replies he had too much pranks for the day and they leave.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Though usually a supporting character/protagonist, this is the first time Skips has done something antagonistic.
 * Coincidentally, Sylvester Stallone starred in a 1987 action drama film called Over the Top, even involving a climax of arm wrestling.
 * Death once said "Your soul is mine" to Skips, which is a homage to Shang Tsung's line from Mortal Kombat.
 * Death can revive people by hacking loogies into people's open mouths.
 * This episode is one of the few times Skips is seen walking: after he destroys the punching bag in his house, he is seen walking out the door instead of skipping. He is once again seen walking in the same episode, when he goes to sit down to arm wrestle Rigby for the last time.
 * J.G. Quintel has said this is his favorite episode of the series. However, some complained that this and "But I Have a Receipt" were too short.
 * In the part where Rigby needs to dodge bottles from a video game, Mordecai shouts "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right", the first 8 actions in the Konami Code.
 * Guitar Dude, the rhythm game Mordecai and Rigby play, might be a reference to Guitar Hero, a famous rhythm game series. However, it did not involve dodging thrown bottles like Guitar Dude did.
 * This is the third time Rigby dies (But is brought back to life at the end). The first death was in It's Time and Appreciation Day.
 * This is one of the first problems not caused by either Mordecai or Rigby, instead it was Skips.
 * This is one of the times a supporting character is an antagonist. Rigby in a fair amount of episodes, Muscle Man in My Mom and See You There, then Skips in this episode.
 * This is the first time Skips said Rigby's name since Rigby's Body.
 * First instance of High-Five Ghost saying Skips' name.
 * Also, this is the first time High-Five has said a main character's name besides Muscle Man's.
 * There are 2 antagonists in this episode, Skips and Death.
 * Rigby might know about Death since he said his name.
 * Playco is a parody of Tyco.
 * This is the first episode Rigby truly dies (but gets revivied).
 * Rigby must`ve known Death because he probably saw him when he died those 3 times.
 * High-Five Ghost is shown to have teeth in this episode, even though in Just Set Up The Chairs and My Mom he is shown smiling widely and has no teeth.
 * Skips and Death have probably met since he said, "Well well well. If it ain't ol' Skips!"
 * For some strange reason Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost weren`t at the hospital to see Rigby, who had died.
