Free Cake

Free Cake is the fifth episode of Regular Show.

Summary
Rigby digs up a good-looking plate from the garbage, so he and Mordecai decide to use it by eating a piece of cake with it. When they try to buy cake mix at the grocery store, they believe the cake mix is too expensive (it was only $1.50), and try to find a free cake (they try to steal a wedding cake and tried to get a cake at a free store) but their attempts fail. A piece of chocolate cake is available at the snack bar and they try to trick Benson into giving them the cake, but they will only get the cake if it’s either of their birthdays, which is not. However, it is Skips’ birthday and the two decide to take advantage of this to get the cake. They decide to throw a birthday party for Skips to cover their plan and the two searches for Skips in the woods. Rigby becomes obsessed with eating the cake and Mordecai tries to prevent him from eating it so they cannot be punished with dish duty for a whole month and they find Skips doing an ancient ritual of some kind in the middle of the woods. When Rigby startles Skips, a ghost named Gary picks up Skips in his car and takes him away, but Mordecai and Rigby manage to stow on. Skips was performing an ancient eternal youth dance and is presented by baby gods who are angry with Skips for not completing the dance that begin stealing his life and disintegrating into dust, and in order to save him, Mordecai and Rigby offer their chocolate cake in exchange for Skips' life, which the gods bathe themselves in. Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips are sent back and Skips’ birthday party starts. They give Skips their plate as a birthday present and Pops was able to get a spare cake, but unfortunately for the duo, the cake is vanilla.
