Go To

Written by Sean Szeles and Kat Morris

Mordecai, Margaret, Rigby an Eileen decide to venture into an abandoned zoo, where Mordecai and Rigby plan to take a picture of themselves inside Death Bear's cage. Unfortunately, it turns out that Death Bear is very real.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Abandoned Area: Most of the episode takes place in the abandoned park zoo where the Death Bear is said to live.
  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Death Bear wears a red cape and a Pickelhaube (a spiked helmet worn by the Germans during World War I).
  • All for Nothing: At the end it's revealed Rigby didn't have the camera facing them as he took the picture, so all the got was a picture of their feet.
  • Bears Are Bad News: Death Bear is an especially dangerous bear as he has the ability to withstand being shot by hundreds of tranquilizer darts and he can also do martial arts.
  • Cat Scare: While exploring the abandoned zoo's reptile house, Mordecai gets spooked by a squirrel running out of one of the cages.
  • Cool Helmet: Death Bear has one, as stated above.
  • The Juggernaut: Death Bear proves to be quite resilient to tranquilizer darts as he takes hundreds of them before he is finally brought down.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: After a member of Animal Control gets his freaking arms swiped off by Death Bear he glumly says, "I wanna go home".
  • Real After All: Mordecai believes that Death Bear is nothing more than an urban legend. Unfortunately, he is soon proven very, very wrong.
