Mordecai and Rigby are assigned to do a job in the snack section. Too bad they're bored so Pops tell them they can eat all the snacks for free. They do so, but Mordecai quits it. He warns Rigby not to eat too much or his body will quit on him, but Rigby ignores that warning and continues to do so. Eventually, Mordecai's warning proves correct: Rigby's body does quit him and goes out around the park, leaving his consciousness behind. Seeing that, they were joined by Skips, who warns them that Rigby will be stuck as a bodiless conscious by sunset if he is not returned by his body.
This episode provides examples of:
- Bittersweet Ending: Rigby does get his body back, but now he's stuck in a body cast due to getting run over and (along with Mordecai) have to work 6 months to pay off all those snacks they ate because it turns out only Pops can eat snacks for free.
- Bowdlerization: In the UK, all mentions of the word "turd" was redubbed with "plank" (a UK slang term for someone who's stupid [the American equivalent of this would be "a blockhead"]).
- Break the Haughty: Rigby, after finally getting through to his thick head that being bodiless sucks.
- Death by Gluttony: Rigby eats so much junk food that his body forcibly removes what is effectively his soul.
- Deep-Fried Whatever: Rigby deep-fries a hamburger with hot dogs and an ice cream cone all together for Mordecai to eat and then eats a deep-fried shake.
- Delayed Reaction: When Rigby gets his body back, and it's been run over by a golf cart.
- Department of Redundancy Department: After Mordecai and Rigby ate too much junk food at the snack barRigby: Dude, all these snacks are free, dude.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Skips, Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost don't sound right compared to later episodes. In the case of High-Five Ghost, it's because Jeff Bennett voiced him instead of show creator J.G. Quintel.
- Everyone Has Standards: Mordecai enjoys eating all the Park's junk food as much as Rigby, but he's completely grossed out when Rigby deep fries a milkshake and eats it. He also decides that he really needs to eat something healthy after gorging on all the park's snacks.
- Fitness Nut: The episode features a guy who worked out so often and so hard that his body left his soul behind.
- Innocent Swearing: Pops learns the word ‘turds’ from Mordecai and Rigby and when he says it near the end, Skips complains to the duo about teaching Pops foul language.
- Jerkass Realization: Rigby had this when the other bodiless conscious leave to take his body. When Mordecai found him, Rigby tearfully told Mordecai he was right about eating too much junk food and he needs his body back and apologize to him.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Rigby. Even when he starts feeling like crap after eating too much junk food and his body literally quits on him, he still thinks he's always right and believes getting kicked out of his own body is a good thing.
- Literal Metaphor: When people say your body will quit on you if you do too much, they usually mean you'll get sick or hurt; not that your body will literally pull your consciousness out of it and run away.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Rigby, after he blurted out to another bodiless conscious about his body. When Mordecai comes to rescue him, Rigby admits he was wrong about everything and apologized.
- Never My Fault: Rigby refuses to concede to Mordecai that he's wrong about all the decisions he makes until a basketball attempts to make off with his body.
- Nutritional Nightmare: Everything Rigby eats in this episode - but worst of all, a shake (cup included) DEEP FRIED IN BATTER.
- Out of Focus: Outside of Skips, none of the other park workers play major roles in this episode. Benson doesn't even make an appearance.
- Right Way/Wrong Way Pair: Mordecai and Rigby, respectfully; this episode depicts them in a nutritional way.
- Shout-Out: Mordecai eats a hot dog in a sponge cake with spray cheese on it, which could be a reference to the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich.
- Too Dumb to Live: Rigby insists that eating even more junk food will somehow make him feel better.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Pops. Him telling Mordecai and Rigby working at the snack bar means they can eat the snacks for free not only leads to Rigby overeating which results in losing his body, kicking off the plot of the episode, but it also forces them to pay off the snacks since he mistakenly thought the free snacks rule apply to everyone and not just him.
