Added DiffLines:

* JerkassBall: While Benson had a right to be concerned about Pops' nerves, he ends up becoming more aggressive and spiteful after the first story, even after Pops assures him that he's alright, to the point of making his scary story complete slander against Mordecai and Rigby.

through a labyrinth of tunnels while your boss wood chipper at the cemetery.

When released from his wallpaper cocoon, he lands on his feet despite Skips, the most badass character in the show, breaking both his ankles upon his landing. Benson also catches the delivery guy when he falls out of his cocoon and carries him, Pops, and Skips all away to safety. This also, conveniently, happens to be ''his'' story.
* UnfinishedBusiness: Uncle Steve only haunts Mordecai because he wasn’t able to pay his nephew back the $5 he borrowed before he died.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It’s not made clear if the tow truck driver died at the end of the episode along with the rest of the group or what exactly happened to him.
