2	Fed up with Mordecai and Rigby slacking off, Benson installs cameras on Mordecai and Rigby while they work.
3	----
4	!!This episode provides examples of:
5	* BigBad: Peeps. He was originally meant to be TheDragon to Benson who was initially the episode's BigBad, but then Peeps took over that role.
6	* BigBrotherIsWatching: At first Benson, but then Peeps.
7	* CameraSpoofing: The duo uses this to evade the first two levels of Peeps. On the first level, a single camera, they put a paper over it, and on the second level, where they have to wear cameras, they escape from their task of dishing by putting their cameras in front of a TV showing the World Dishwashing Championship of 1982.
8	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
9	** Benson seems to think emptying out his wallet to buy the undeniably expensive Peeps program is a better tradeoff than firing Mordecai and Rigby and hiring new employees ''or'' at the very least just watch Mordecai and Rigby himself in-person.
10	** Invoked again by Benson for signing up to Jeepers Peepers X-Infinity without even learning what it was, [[RevengeBeforeReason since his mind was clouded by anger]], and shrugging off a warning that it's an extreme measure that comes with a waiver needed to be signed.
11	* GiantEyeOfDoom: What Peeps turns out to be.
12	* InsaneTrollLogic: Whoever wrote and directed the Peeps commercial is dead guilty of this trope. The Peeps commercial has two [[BurgerFool cashiers of a burger joint]] waiting around bored at the cash register, with the narrator claiming that they're not working hard, even though there weren't any customers.
13	* KarmaHoudini: Benson gets away with not only disrespecting Mordecai and Rigby's personal space to an extreme degree, but never gets called out for summoning Peeps in the first place.
14	* LoopholeAbuse: Benson blindly signed away his (and all of the park employees') freedom and privacy to Peeps by signing a contract enabling Peeps to watch them until they die.
15	* MundaneObjectAmazement: As Benson shows Pops the new security system, Pops is most enthralled by a computer mouse.
16	* OutOfCharacterMoment: Benson would usually threaten to fire Mordecai and Rigby for slacking off, but in this episode he just spies on them possibly because if Benson were to just fire them right away, there wouldn't be much of a plot.
17	* ReadTheFinePrint: What causes the last part of the episode's plot. Rather than reading the print as thoroughly as possible, Benson signs the contract without hesitation. What follows next is ''everyone'' getting stalked.
18	* TheSlacker: Par for the course for Mordecai and Rigby. At the start of the episode they can't go seconds without slacking off, necessitating Benson installing cameras.
