* PlotHole: Mordecai isn't glad that Rigby chose to switch fortunes, but the ending reveals Muscle Man did it first and is why Rigby initially got the bad luck fortune -- and Mordecai was there the entire time, even looking at Muscle Man. Despite this, he never stops Muscle Man or even brings up what he did, but does have a problem with Rigby doing it who gets all the blame instead, turning Muscle Man into a KarmaHoudini. High-Five Ghost, who was also there and knows what happened, doesn't say anything either.

* KarmaHoudini: Rigby switches his fortune of bad luck with Benson's fortune of good luck, which leads to huge consequences and Benson chewing him out for it. Muscle Man does the same thing with Rigby's fortune before him -- in fact, it's how Rigby (and then Benson) gets his bad luck in the first place, [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom meaning it also falls on Muscle Man for leading to it]] -- but he completely gets away with it and even ends up stealing Rigby's intended fortune. {{Justified|Trope}} because no one finds this out, with High-Five Ghost (the only witness) presumably not telling anyone.
