Recap / Regular Show S 05 E 10 Bank Shot

Go To

Written and storyboarded by Owen Dennis and Sarah Oleksyk

Rigby challenges a local hotshot to a game of bank shot at Wing Kingdom but quickly lands in hot water.


Tropes:

  • Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Cash and Rigby's game quickly escalates into this, due to the loser paying for the winner's meal... and Cash and his crew have been eating gold-plated chicken all day.
  • Bizarre Human Biology: Cash Bankis who has a basketball hoop for a head.
  • Bowdlerization: Similar to the edit done on "Silver Dude," the line "The God of Basketball?" had to be changed due to perceived fears of offending the religious. However, the line was changed to the non sequitur, "Nice ride, dude."
  • The Bus Came Back: Don (Rigby's younger brother, who looks like him, but has a human male body with Barbie Doll Anatomy) and The God of Basketball.
  • Call-Back: Tons.
    • Cash specifically asks for the Eggscellent hat in his first wager. Rigby mentions that he almost died for that hat.
    • Rigby asks Don for his assistance in bank shots.
  • Conspicuous Consumption: Cash and his crew eat gold-plated chicken wings.
  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Cash says this word for word at the episode's beginning when Rigby tells him he doesn't have more than $36000 to pay for their meal. Also, the episode itself would have been avoided if Rigby hadn't acted very jerkish towards his friends and didn't continuously keep making bets to increase the payment of how much he owes Cash for the gold-plated chicken.
  • Didn't Think This Through: The whole plot kicks off with Rigby making a bet on a game he was losing.
  • Jerk Jock: Cash Bankis.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: When Rigby admits he can't pay the money he wagered, Cash tells him he shouldn't have made that bet in the first place.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Rigby has this reaction once he realizes the stakes he's going up against, due to making a bet on a game he was losing.
    Rigby: I really messed this up for everyone.
  • Running Gag: Rigby accidentally breaking a window and upsetting Benson in the process.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: None of the park crew is happy that Rigby bet their ability to go to Wing Kingdom ever again on a game he was losing.
    Mordecai: Way to rope us into your mess.
    Skips: I don't know you.
    Muscle Man: If my future at Wing Kingdom is at stake because of you, that 36 thousand dollars will be the LEAST of your problems.
    Rigby: I gotta win this game...
