Go Viral

Go Viral is the name of the twenty-sixth season two episode (and thirty-eighth episode overall) of Regular Show.

Plot
Mordecai is arguing about the schedules on the computer, but Muscle Man wants to watch viral videos (Old Man Horseshoes, Wedgie Ninja, Road Hog, and a few others) so Mordecai and Rigby sit down in a waiting area. Mordecai and Rigby make a bet with Muscle Man and High Five Ghost to see who gets the most views as a viral video; things don't go out great for Mordecai and Rigby, so they try something with the trampoline and use Pops in the video.

When they use a refrigerator to make Pops jump higher, he ends up bouncing TOO high and jumps into another world, which ends up being the "internet". Mordecai and Rigby went to the other world to save him; inside the video, they notice the viral videos trapped inside some cages and confront the Warden of the Internet who happens to be an old lady. She traps Pops in the a video box of him jumping on the trampoline and believes that computers are supposed to be use for research papers or chatting with family. She traps anyone who makes viral videos forever, because she thinks they are diseases and must be contained therefore. Rigby shuts the Warden off, and he Rigby help all the other viral video people escape. While they are doing this, Pops accidentally hits the power button again. When the Warden comes back on, she becomes infuriated and goes on a wild goose chase after the fleeing trio.

Everybody escapes, but the Warden grabs Pops' ankle to keep him there and Mordecai and Rigby struggle to help him. Wedgie Ninja suddenly appears and gives the Warden a major wedgie to help Mordecai, Rigby, and Pops escape. Wedgie Ninja tells Mordecai and Rigby to go on without him as the former then gets crushed by the Warden of the Internet, causing them both to be destroyed. When they get back to the real world, Rigby has caught everything on tape. Mordecai and Rigby upload it on the internet, and it gets 2,000,000 views. That wins them the bet, and also the $20 from Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost.

 * This is the second time in a row Skips and Benson are absent in an episode; the first was The Night Owl.
 * The video Mordecai and Rigby make where Rigby is disguised as an ape and hides in a garbage can to scare Muscle Man is a parody of a real YouTube video called Never Scare A Black Man (seen below)thumb|300px|right|The video Mordecai and Rigby spun off.
 * High-Five Ghost has five arms as shown in this episode.
 * This is the third time that there is a female antagonist; the first episode was Benson Be Gone and the second episode was Muscle Woman.
