Replaced

Replaced is the twenty-second episode of season three (and sixty-second episode overall) of Regular Show.

Plot
The episode begins with a phone message from Margaret and Eileen to Mordecai and Rigby, complimenting them on their extravagant Pizza party the night previous. Mordecai, in a daze, realizes that Rigby had set the alarm clock to 6 PM rather than 6 AM, and that they are both two hours late for meeting Benson by the paddle boats. They hastily clean up the house and drive the golf cart to the paddle boats. As they drive, Mordecai voices his concern that Benson will not forgive them this time, being late five times beforehand.

When Mordecai and Rigby pull up to the paddle boats, they see Benson talking with Jeremy and Chad. Benson instructs Jeremy and Chad to clean and check the paddle boats, and is delighted when they agree easily. Realizing that Benson will fire them, Mordecai and Rigby talk to Benson. Benson tells the two to 'not worry about it', stating people who make mistakes 'end up having to pay for those mistakes'. They insist on being assigned a job, but are reassured by Benson that Jeremy and Chad are capable.

Mordecai and Rigby figure that their only solution is sabotage. All of their attempts to sabotage Jeremy and Chad fail, much to their demise. After dumping compost on a clean paddle boat, Jeremy and Chad become hostile. Mordecai and Rigby leave, and come up with another plan: to host a pizza party. Mordecai and Rigby find that as the party progresses, Jeremy and Chad are not phased from their work. As a last resort, Mordecai and Rigby turn up the music. A speaker falls into the lake, summoning several giant lake monsters. Jeremy and Chad snap, and begin to brawl with Mordecai and Rigby after being prompted by one of the sea monsters. The party becomes chaotic, with everyone breaking out into a fight.

Soon Benson appears, dismissing the party. In a rage, Benson fires Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai and Rigby defend themselves, but their attempt is futile as Benson shoos them away using a camera. Benson then offers jobs Jeremy and Chad, who are exasperated at the events of the day. They rocket away with their phones, saying 'good luck finding two suckers dumb enough to take this job'. Mordecai and Rigby then offer themselves for their old jobs to a mortified Benson as the episode ends.

Trivia

 * This is the alleged Ostrich and Possum Episode that was rumored to be a real episode in 2011 (and put in Regular Show Season 3's description on iTunes).
 * One of the people Rigby invited to the party was named Geo Dude. This could be a reference to Pokemon since one Pokemon is called Geodude. Also, the Thunder Badge is the profile picture.
 * One of the lake monsters resemble a monster from Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Doom Dozer monster card.
 * Another monster resembles the Snakehead from the Penguins of Madagascar.
 * The Dude from High Score also appears at the party along with Red-Jacket Man, Sandles Girl and the Centaurs.
 * This is the third time Benson fires Mordecai and Rigby. The first time was Really Real Wrestling and the second time was Weekend at Benson's. However, this time, it went unmentioned that he rehired them, but it's obvious he did after the episode ended.
 * Pops, Skips and Hi Five Ghost didn't appear in the episode, although Pops's voice could be heard at the beginning of the episode.
 * This is the second time Benson fades from red to normal during a continuous take. The first time was My Mom.
 * This is the first and presumably only time when Benson turns red and fires someone at the same time, his two trademarks.
 * This is the first TV-PG-V rated episode that was not re-rated to TV-PG after the first air since Terror Tales of the Park.
 * The phones Chad and Jeremy have looked similar to iPhones (and iPads, by size).
 * Chad and Jeremy's names might be a reference to the real life folk music duo named Chad &amp; Jeremy.
 * Benson said he posted a job listing in Gut Model. So its possible that Chad and Jeremy signed up to work at the park.
 * This is the third time Benson was red longer than other episodes (so far). The first time was Think Positive and the second time was The Best Burger in the World.
 * The alarm clock from First Day appears in this episode.
