2	[[caption-width-right:1000:That episode where Rigby almost gets his friends killed by cannibalistic hotdogs.]]
3	Mordecai and Rigby are assigned to watch over the grill and Benson's special-order hot dogs for the annual Park barbecue. But when they burn up the hot dogs thanks to Rigby wanting to grill the hot dogs despite orders not to - and using a ''whole box of light fluid'' - the duo is forced to go into the walk-in freezer and get some back-up dogs -- all of which are alive and evil and plotting to get revenge on being eaten.
4	----
5	!!Tropes included:
6	* ActorAllusion: Creator/TimCurry literally is [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow a hot dog]] who gets [[ItMakesSenseInContext covered in mustard]].
7	* ArcWords: "I can fix this."
8	* AutoCannibalism: The last of the mustard-covered hot dogs eats itself until disappearing.
9	* BigNo: The lead hot dog yells this 3 times as he’s being eaten alive by his fellow hot dogs.
10	* BlackComedyCannibalism: The hot dogs when they discover they taste really good with mustard.
11	* {{Bowdlerization}}: Newer versions of the episode (and some English-speaking overseas cuts [UK and Australia]) redubbed Mordecai's "pissed me off" to "ticked me off." Also edited in some countries (barring the U.S. version) are the references to Mordecai being dead in the freezer.
12	* DisasterDominoes: Rigby. First, he burns up all the deluxe hot dogs by first dousing an ''entire'' box of lighter fluid on the barbecue (alongside failing to listen to Benson's instructions on to ''not'' grill the hot dogs, which Mordecai understandably was mad about when Rigby let it slip). Second, by locking himself and Mordecai in the freezer. Third, he gullibly believes the sentient hot dogs who lie to him that they're willing to get eaten at the barbecue.
13	* FoodEatsYou: The hot dogs' scheme for revenge on everybody who has eaten their relatives.
14	* GilliganCut: Benson mentions how he gave Rigby the hot dogs to take outside but definitely told them NOT to grill the hot dogs. Cut to outside with Mordecai and Rigby...
15	-->'''Mordecai:''' You sure Benson said we could grill the hot dogs?
16	-->'''Rigby:''' [[BlatantLies Benson]] ''[[BlatantLies totally]]'' [[BlatantLies said we could grill the hot dogs]].
17	* {{Hypocrite}}: The hot dogs are quick to start cannibalizing each other once they realize that they taste good with mustard, after they claimed to wish vengeance for their fallen brethren eaten at barbeques.
18	* IndulgentFantasySegue: Mordecai dreams of being a muscular guy having a romantic time with bikini-clad Margaret.
19	* NeverMyFault: Rigby pins the blame over the anthropomorphic hot dogs on Benson by the end of the episode. [[KarmaHoudini And he gets away with it]].
20	* OhCrap: The lead hot dog goes through this when he sees his fellow hot dogs eating each other, and can only scream 3 consecutive {{Big No}}es as he’s being eaten.
21	* PrecisionFStrike: Considering this is on a kid's channel, this one gets by surprisingly:
22	-->'''Mordecai:''' You pissed me off.
23	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Mordecai gives two to Rigby after the latter gets them locked in the meat locker. He first tells Rigby while he says he will fix things he only ends up making them worse. Then after Rigby breaks the thermostat and makes it colder in the meat locker a freezing Mordecai tells him off for always ruining things and getting him into trouble.
24	* TheScapegoat: "Don't look at me, ''Benson''[='s=] the one who went and bought the super premium psycho hot dogs!"
25	* SuperStrength: The hot dogs are capable of incredible strength compared to their sizes being able to carry off people much larger/heavier than they are and one hot dog punched a bucket and put a dent in it.
26	* TemptingFate: While in the freezer, Mordecai notices that Rigby is in there with him and not watching the door. When asked about this, Rigby explains that he propped the door open with some bags of ice so he doesn't have to worry about the door. Said bags of ice fall over, causing the door to slam shut and trap the duo inside the freezer.
