Karaoke Video

Karaoke Video is the twenty-seventh and final episode of season two (and fortieth episode overall) of Regular Show.

Synopsis
Mordecai and Rigby must find and destroy an offensive video at a karaoke bar.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby spend a night at the Carrey O' Key's karaoke bar singing, "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister, but in their excitement manage to accidentally trash talk Benson, Pops and Skips. Their speech is taped without their knowledge: they are given a copy, while the bar keeps one of the tapes as a promo.

Mordecai and Rigby need to destroy the tapes before Benson, Pops and Skips see the damning evidence. However, the trio see the tape cover and decide to go to the bar for Karaoke night. Mordecai and Rigby try desperately to obtain the master tape, but they end up banned from the karaoke bar instead. As a last resort they try to put Benson off the idea of karaoke, proposing other ideas, but Benson says that he already reserved a table at Carrey O' Keys, and that attendance was now mandatory lest they be fired.

At the bar Pops, Skips and Muscle Man marvel over the song list, while Benson is still waiting for Mordecai and Rigby, being willing to fire them if they didn't show up. It is revealed that the two are hiding in the air duct. Rigby finds the back office while Mordecai finds the room with the tape in it. In the office, security guard Carl tells the barman that only one singer was signed up that night. The barman says that they must play Mordecai and Rigby's promo to encourage more people to take part.

The start of the promo tape appears on the big screen, with Mordecai and Rigby's terrible rendition of "We're Not Gonna Take It" being hilarious to Benson and the workers. Mordecai and Rigby jump down from the duct, but before they can cut off the tape, Benson sees a few seconds of Mordecai making fun of him.

As the tape cuts, the barman apologizes for technical difficulties, and decides to start the singing with Pops. While Pops begins to sing "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins, Carrey'O'Key catches Mordecai and Rigby in the office as they continue to struggle with the tape. A fight ensues and in the melee the tape slides out of the office and into the karaoke room.

As Carl continues to battle Mordecai and Rigby for the tape, more and more people get involved, including Skips and Muscle Man, before the entire club - including the still-singing Pops - is engulfed in violence. The fight is resolved as Benson catches it; he takes a punch to the face from Carl, and Benson furiously smashes the tape over Carl's face as Pops finishes his song. Mordecai and Rigby have been saved in the most unlikely fashion, but they don't yet know it.

Multiple ambulances are outside as Mordecai and Rigby apologize to the rest of the workers, but Benson yells at them for ruining karaoke night. Skips, Pops, Muscle Man, and Hi Five Ghost drive off without them. Mordecai realises that they hadn't seen the insulting parts of the tape, and shouts after Benson, but can only close the episode with, "Man, karaoke sucks."

Trivia

 * Many people from the Fist Pump concert in "Caffeinated Concert Tickets" appear at Carrey O'Key's.
 * When Rigby breaks the tape, it makes a reference to Do Me a Solid, when he did the same thing with the tape that had Mordecai's embarrassing solid. Also, Muscle Man said he'd seen Rigby break a video tape before.
 * In the U.S. when the episode first aired, it was TV-PG-V due to the fighting scene towards the end. However, every other time it airs, the subrating "V" is gone.

Goofs

 * At the very end of the episode, Benson says "...you ruined karaoke night!" However he is not in the golf cart. In the next scene, they do the signature golf cart spin and take off.
 * At the same time as above, when the cart spins, Benson doesn't have the bandage around his nose.
 * When Muscle Man rips his shirt while people were fighting, the TV behind him has the lyrics change too early.
 * When Benson and the employees are walking out of Carrey O'Keys, Hi Five Ghost is walking with them. But when Benson do the signature golf cart spin and take off, he is not in the golf cart.
 * There are differences in the video that Mordecai and Rigby has and the Carrey O'Keys commercial:
 * The man that says "What aren't you gonna take" in the video, but he doesn't say that in the commercial.
 * Before the man says "What aren't you gonna take" in the video, Mordecai and Rigby run in the stage 3 times, but in the commercial they run 7 times.
 * Carrey O'Key appears before Mordecai and Rigby start to sing in the commercial, but not in the video.
 * Rigby's dark rings disappear when he and Mordecai sang "We're not gonna take it" the second time in the video.
 * When Skips was going to punch Carl, he's running instead of skipping.
