Benson is invited to a special park manager luncheon with Gene the vending machine, and the gang, who fear that Benson will get pranked, spy on the lunch in case anything goes wrong.
The episode has the following tropes
- The Bus Came Back: Gene reappears.
- Cringe Comedy: The gang being weirded out by Benson talking to himself in his car.
- Literal-Minded: Rigby confused "lodge material" as wooden mulch. Lampshaded as the minute he heard this, he thought it wrong.
- Running Gag: Rigby's obsession with pizza subs.
- Secret Test of Character: Gene was testing if Benson was worthy to join the Park Managers Lodge. By refusing Gene's invitation, he passes.
- Unwanted Rescue: Benson to the park crew as Gene indeed just wanted to have a get together, no tricks or pranks. Though making the initiation look like a kidnapping was a little unorthodox.
- "YEAH!" Shot: Parodied at the end when Benson does this after being accepted into the lodge, and all the park workers look disgusted at him for it.
