Animated Crap: Regular Show Do Me A Solid

Alright now that we've got the introduction out of the way let's get this bullshit train going!

Welcome to the first of many review sections of the blog where I take a look at some of the worst animated movies, shows and TV episodes that animation has to offer and I figured I'd start with something simple like a bad episode of an animated series that I like.

So sit back relax and enjoy me tear this shitty episode a new asshole.

For those of you that don't know anything about Regular Show let me sum it up for you real quick. Regular Show is an animated series created by J.G Quintel and it follows the surreal adventures of Mordecai and Rigby an anthropomorphic jaybird and raccoon.

The series is basically like Adventure Time or Aqua Teen Hunger Force in that weird shit just happens and the audience is supposed to just go with it. Now shows like these can be hit or miss and Regular Show has had it's fair share of clunkers over the years and this sadly is one of them.

Alright without anymore stalling let's take a look at why "Do Me A Solid" is one of the worst episodes in the show's run.

So the episode starts off with Mordecai and Rigby watching TV when this comes on.

Hey remember that Shake Weight commercial? Wasn't that so gay? Yeah it was totally gay! 

And already we have the first red flag of the episode, the jokes aren't funny! I mean seriously South Park did a much better Shake Weight parody in an episode that aired a year before this episode did. And I know what you're thinking but this is a kid's show so it's much funnier! Well not really because it really isn't a joke because there really is no set up for it the dudes are just watching TV when an ad comes on for the Shake Weight and we are supposed to find this funny because you know it's the Shake Weight and it totally looks like the dude is jerking another dude off!

Anyway after that pointless scene Mordecai and Rigby decide to do solids for each other, this leads to an unfunny short montage of the two doing pointless crap that is isn't funny nor relevant to the actual plot of the episode.

They run into Skips who tells them not to abuse the power of the solids, the two ignore him and go to the coffee place to get a bite to eat. Eileen nervously asks Rigby if he would like to go mini golfing with her and Margret, Mordecai sees this as a chance to go on a date with Margret so he talks Rigby into agreeing to go with Eileen but only if Mordecai does 10 solids for Rigby.

And here is where the episode starts to go down the shit hole, so the writers decide on making Rigby the antagonist for this episode so for the rest of the episode he acts like a complete jackass and publicly humiliates Mordecai. And all the while Mordecai not once stands up to him when they are going out with the girls. I mean I know this is season 2 Mordecai where he wanted to do whatever it took to get with Margret but still no girl is worth getting humiliated in public for.

But wait it get's worse! When the group returns home Rigby says that he has one more solid for Mordecai to do.

Seven Days

Mordecai finally grows a pair and tells Ribgy to fuck off and that he is not going to do that, but Rigby tells him that he has no choice and that he has to do it because it is a solid. Mordecai ignores him and goes back into the living room to try and hang with Margret again.

And then the ground starts to shake, Rigby tells Mordecai to do the solid but Mordecai refuses and the ground starts to get destroyed.

EARTHQUAKE! 

 Skips, Benson and Pops walk in I guess the writers remembered that they had to crow bar them in there somewhere and Skips gives Mordecai and Rigby the "I told you so" speech. And he tells Mordecai that the only way to stop this is to do the solid, Mordecai is still hesitant until Margret says this.

" Not if you're just doing a solid! That's what friends are for! They come through for each other where they need it most!"

Yep......it's okay to humiliate yourself  in public because you're just doing a solid for a friend. I mean correct me if I'm wrong here but if a friend comes up to you and says "Hey dude do me a solid and act like a complete jackass in front of that girl you like" would you do it? Because I'm sorry if a friend asked me to do something like that and the hid behind the solid excuse then I would break my friendship with them because friends don't humiliate each other like that!

And here's the funny thing it turns out that Margret broke a date with a guy just so she could be with Eileen on her date with Rigby so yeah the writers really loved to treat Mordecai like shit when it comes to his love life don't they?

Anyway Mordecai does the solid which involves him crouching down and making fire truck noises yeah you're guess is as good as mine.

The look on Marget's face says it all.

 The next day Rigby, Pops and Muscle Man are watching a video tape of Mordecai doing the solid and laughing at him, yeah isn't Rigby just the best? Anyway Mordecai walks in and tells them he is fed up and that he just wants to go to the arcade. And here is the final fuck you the writers give to the audience Rigby out of nowhere has a change of heart and destroys the video tape.

Rigby does the fastest heel face turn ever. 

 And to make matters worse? Mordecai being the dumb shit that he is decides to forgive him......WHAT THE FUCK! Rigby spent the entire episode acting like a complete jackass towards Mordecai and now all of a sudden right the fuck out of nowhere Mordecai decides to forgive him.

Ugh......just fuck this episode! This is like the One Coarse Meal of Regular Show where Rigby acts like a complete jackass towards Mordecai and gets away scot free in the end because the writers are complete morons. I mean at least in the Unicorn episode the unicorn gang turns on Rigby and he realizes that he has acted like a complete jackass towards Mordecai but here he's just a jerk from start to finish and he never gets what's coming to him and that's what really pisses me the fuck off about this episode.

Also his sudden change of heart towards the end makes no fucking sense! He spent the whole episode acting like a complete jackass towards Mordecai and then all of a sudden he decides to change his mind in the last 20 seconds of the episode.

Final rating
-1/10
