Mr. Bossman is the first segment in the Season Seven episode "Terror Tales of the Park V". It aired on October 29, 2015, and was written & storyboarded by Toby Jones and Owen Dennis.
Like with the rest of the "Terror Tales" saga, this story is non-canon, and treated as an in-universe wish granted to Benson.
Synopsis[]
Benson purchases a puppet from TV that he hopes will make Mordecai and Rigby work.
Plot[]
Mordecai and Rigby are seen sitting on the couch watching TV. There is an advertisement for a "Salad Guillotine" (Off with your head... of lettuce!) that Mordecai and Rigby suddenly want. Benson comes in and makes Mordecai and Rigby do their work. Suddenly, another commercial airs where the same person from the previous ad is advertising a puppet named "Mr. Boss Man." The phone number is shown after Benson tells the TV to show it, and he calls in to order a puppet. Throughout the story, every time the duo is caught slacking and Benson uses Mr. Boss Man to tell them to get back to work, they feel creeped out, and he always insists it's not him telling them, but the puppet. At one point, Mr. Boss Man insults Mordecai about relationships and Rigby about his stuttering (when he tries to stand up for him). As Benson walks away, saying he is a good boss, the puppet turns to look at him... uh oh. Later on, while Benson is asleep, MBM keeps telling him how to sleep and he complies until he is told to pack up and never come back. Now Benson is awake and sees MBM fall onto the floor. Annoyed, he goes over to pick him up, only to have him turn his head 180° and yells "THIS IS MY HOUSE NOW!", causing Benson to scream and throw him against the wall. Then MBM says that Benson doesn't need this job because he was the one motivating the workers and he had to support his family (who are standing at the window). MBM's head spins wildly as Benson runs away, trying to crack his head between the door which doesn't work fully. Eventually, Benson makes it to the house and runs in on Mordecai and Rigby using the guillotine and yells that he's trying to kill him. Right after that, the puppet launches himself through the glass of the window and onto Benson, who screams, "Get this dummy off of me!" The duo try kicking him off which doesn't work, so they suggest using the guillotine. Benson launches MBM right into the opening, and the puppet screams they don't have the guts (or chimichangas, to be specific) to drop the blade, being proven wrong when Benson walks over and does it himself. The head is still talking about escape while Benson compliments the duo on their quick thinking and smarts.
