Errors
- When Rigby moves the mouse cursor off the screen during the "Blargh.avi" video, the cursor goes over the edge of the screen.
- The motion capture is inacurate as CGI Can not be performed in real life, it can only be seen on a screen, so Mordecai, Benson and Rigby turning into cats doesn't really make sense
