Recap / Regular Show S 04 Ep 22 Picking Up Margaret

Go To

Written and storyboarded by Sean Szeles and Kat Morris.

Mordecai volunteers to drive Margaret to the airport, and gets hounded by by a gang of The Warriors-style street thugs who hate cell phones.


Tropes

  • Berserk Button: The Wickets really don't like cell phones.
  • Big Damn Kiss: Between Mordecai and Margaret.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Mordecai cheers after Margaret kissed him goodbye, but his victory is interrupted by the sight of Benson's car being towed.
  • Call-Back: Margaret makes sure that Mordecai offering her a ride isn't some kind of dare or won't devolve into craziness before taking him up on it.
  • First Kiss: For Mordecai.
  • Karmic Death: The Wickets meet their end by crashing into a Billboard that advertises cell phones.
  • Out of Focus: While Rigby is usually quite involved, or at the very least, present in episodes where Mordecai tries to get with Margaret, he only appears in the very first scene of this episode where he plays no relevant role and is absent for the rest of it.
  • Shout-Out: The Wickets are a combination of something resembling a gang from The Warriors combined with the droogs from A Clockwork Orange.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Margaret is none too happy that something insane happened, even if it wasn't Mordecai's fault. She forgives him after he still gets her to the airport on time.
