3Mordecai and Rigby try to skip overdue work so they can eat 'the best burger in the world', available only once every hundred years.
4----
5!!Tropes
6* BigEater: Benson eats two Ulti-Meatums, rather large burgers, by himself.
7* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Benson bars Mordecai and Rigby from getting an Ulti-Meatum until all their work is done. And he eats their Ulti-Meatums himself when they use the holograms to sneak to the truck.
8* DownerEnding: Mordecai and Rigby missed the chance to eat the Ulti-Meatum, since Benson ate their two burgers, and the truck blew up after Rigby took away their wheel stopper to throw at the holograms.
9* EnemyEatsYourLunch: Benson eats up Mordecai and Rigby's Ulti-Meatum burgers (to both punish them for skipping out on work and cause they're said to have super stellar taste) then rubs it in their faces.
10* FailureMontage: A good chunk of the episode's first half is just Mordecai and Rigby trying to ditch work for the burger truck, but getting caught and boomeranged back by Benson.
11* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Despite being a NutritionalNightmare, the Ulti-Meatum is said to be so good, it is served one every 100 years. Mordecai and Rigby risk getting fired from their jobs for two burgers.
12* IShallTauntYou: Skips and Muscle Man both mock Mordecai and Rigby's misery in not being able to taste the Ulti-Meatums, making the duo even more determined to get out of work and sneak off to the food truck. In the end, Benson does it himself by [[KickTheDog stealing and eating both Mordecai and Rigby's Ulti-Meatums]].
13* JerkassBall:
14** Benson is much nastier to Mordecai and Rigby than usual, stealing and eating their burgers out of spite.
15** To a lesser degree, Muscle Man and even Skips have no problem taunting the duo over missing out on the Ulti-Meatums.
16* JerkassHasAPoint: Benson might have been cruel to eat their burgers in front of Mordecai and Rigby and mock the two over how they will now never get any, but he was right that they did have a backlog of work they hadn't done yet and the two tried to cheat out of their chores.
17* KarmaHoudini: Benson gets away with stealing Mordecai and Rigby's burgers and eating them.
18* KickTheDog: Benson eats the burgers that Mordecai and Rigby bought after they defeated the holograms.
19-->'''Benson:''' Oh wait, you guys didn't get to have one. That's too bad, apparently they only make these once every 100 years. Which is about how long it will take for you to clean out Skips' garage!!
20* LiterallyShatteredLives: Mordecai and Rigby ultimately defeat their hologram doppelgangers by shattering them with thrown objects.
21* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Skips is happy knowing that unlike Mordecai and Rigby, he'll be around in 100 years to get another Ulti-Meatum. Too bad the food truck, along with the two cooks that make them, plummeted into a nearby pit, meaning they'll never exist again...
22* NutritionalNightmare: "Ulti-Meatum" counts as one. The ingredients include a cheeseburger inside a cheeseburger patty and two deep-fried cheeseburgers as buns, with Himalayan ketchup. It can even be made Idaho-style by [[ExaggeratedTrope stuffing a bag of chips in the burger]].
23* PlayingTheVictimCard: When Mordecai and Rigby start destroying their holograms by throwing rocks at them Mordecai's hologram exclaims they just wanted a burger before being destroyed. This ignores the fact that they were stealing the burgers from Mordecai and Rigby themselves.
24* PyrrhicVictory: Mordecai and Rigby succeed in destroying their holograms, but the {{MacGuffin}} they were fighting over, the Ulti-Meatum cheeseburgers, get eaten by Benson. And Rigby unknowingly killed the two burger cooks, meaning Ulti-Meatums shall never exist again.
25* TitleDrop: The very first line is Mordecai describing how the Ulti-Meatum is considered "The Best Burger in the World".
26-->'''Skips:''' That's a bold statement.
27* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Mordecai and Rigby use holograms to shirk off work, but the holograms become so like them that ''they'' shirk off work to sneak some Ulti-Meatums.
