History Recap / RegularShowS03Ep20BigWinner

* BaitAndSwitch: Earlier in the episode Mordecai and Rigby imagine Muscle Man shoving them into a vending machine and throwing it into the distance to get back at pranking him with the fake ticket. When they actually tell him the ticket's fake, he appears to do exactly that except he shoves them in a lottery ticket redemption machine instead. Except they imagined ''that'', too.

* ItsPersonal: Skips explains that the last time someone pranked Muscle Man when money was involved was at the park raffle a few years ago, when a man named Biggs had called out Muscle Man's ticket number as the winning one, but then changed it by saying it was the one directly below his number, pranking him. Muscle Man didn't take it very well and did something to him. Skips forgets if he never "walked" or "worked" again though because he never liked the guy.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Once Muscle Man thinks he's going to win a million dollars, before he even has it, he insults his friends and starts trashing the entire park because he figures he can just replace everything with something new.

* GracefulLoser: When Mordecai and Rigby finally confess to Muscle Man that they pranked him, he's actually very cool about it and admits they got him good.
