Written and storyboarded by Benton Connor and Andres Salaff

Muscle Man enters a body building competition so he, Mordecai and Rigby can play ping pong at Power Tower, a gym Muscle Man used to frequent.


Tropes

  • Dangerous Forbidden Technique: The Shredder. Done correctly, it can blow away the competition. Do it incorrectly, and...
  • Not Hyperbole: Mitch's nickname isn't Muscleman because of some ironic joke. It's because when he was younger he was an incredibly ripped professional bodybuilder.
  • Snowy Screen of Death: The gang watch a video of a bodybuilder attempting the Shredder. He slips up and explodes. The screen goes to static, then a test pattern.
  • Victory Is Boring: Why Muscle Man gave up professional bodybuilding.
  • Weak, but Skilled: Mitch might not have the body for it anymore, but his form and skill in pulling off bodybuilder poses is more than enough for the judges to overlook his overweight body and win him the contest.
