Oh, he was fine, it took a long time for him to digest anyway.

Oh, no, I'm talking about the wooden cage thing. In Book 3 of AtLA, in the episode
"The Runaway".

Thank you, I'll be here 'til Thursday, try the veal.

I will agree that Bolin was pretty damn difficult to put up with in Book 1 and a really mixed (sometimes icky) bag in Book 2. They seem to actually know how to use him well now, though. I still think he comes off as a bit of Sokka-lite at times, but he's getting better all the time (can't get no worse).

Yeah, they used the same thing in AtLA when Toph (and Katara) was imprisoned, right?

I just love the audacity of them having a conversation about their failed attempts to kill the Avatar right in front of the Avatar's father.

Amen to that. The show's burned me out so much with all of its flip-flopping around with Mako and those two that if they actually went ahead and ran with this it might just be….

See, this episode is pretty clear evidence that Regular Show is often at its best when it simply embraces the ridiculousness of its plots and runs it into the ground (or, in this case, barreling into the city, with an army of seagulls, a magical whale, and the colors feeling so right with rainbows).

I'd have to agree with you. As much as I enjoyed the episode, using the "high school flashback" setting as backstory for something that's been built up for pretty much the entire show's run by this point was immensely underwhelming. It might have just been better to have left the whole thing unexplained.

Hey, just because something was groundbreaking and innovative it doesn't mean later things can't top it in terms of entertainment value. Respect your elders and never forget, yeah, but no need to be 100% devoted to 'em.

Still, man, if you're living in NJ like I am, you'll see no one giving Bruce those accusations. Everyone, no matter how young or old, idolizes him here, and they all hope to run into him at Work Out World or on the streets of Red Bank and the like. (From what I hear, he's a pleasant guy to engage in conversations…

Personally I feel like I need to rewatch the episode to look for caricatures of other famous dead rock stars in the background. (And other living ones too, I suppose, like not-Slash.)

(Seriously, though, maybe I'm just too much of a guitar geek, but it put me
ever so slightly on edge that they never made any mention of the
specific model of guitar Benson broke, considering the total possibility
that they'd end up getting the wrong guitar, but hey, it doesn't really
matter in terms of letting the…

Another one of those amazingly serendipitous coincidences that willed itself into the plot: Bruce Rock just happened to be using the exact same guitar model that night as the one Benson smashed. Such is the glory of Mordo and Rigs's Power of Plot Convenience™.

So, all of Benson's neighbors (at least, the ones who live on the floors below him) are dead now, right?

I have to say, while I found most of the episode to be incredibly by-the-numbers, I absolutely loved the part with Benson at the end. It was just such a surprise to see him act calm and grateful toward Mordecai and Rigby, and even if his reaction did seem a little subdued for them risking their lives there, it…

Something I just realized now seeing his name written out like that, is Techmo's name a pun on the video game company Tecmo?  If so, I'm amazed it took me so long to catch on to that.

Every time I see those ads at the bottom of the screen, I'm always reminded of that gag from that one Phineas and Ferb special about it.  "You're Watching Television!"
