Eggscellent (Regular Show)

"Eggscellent" is the eighteenth episode in Season 3 (and fifty-seventh episode overall) of Regular Show. It first aired on February 27, 2012.

Plot
After Rigby falls into a coma from attempting an eating challenge at a restaurant, Mordecai tries to win the prize for Rigby.

Why It Really "Egg-scellent"

 * 1) This is one of the greatest and most well-recieved episodes in the series, where Mordecai tries to win the prize that Rigby wanted more than anything.
 * 2) The animation and voice acting are great, as usual.
 * 3) The beginning was pretty funny, where Mordecai and Rigby are watching an action show and lament about how the main character flips a car in every episode.
 * 4) Amazing montage with Mordecai training for the challenge to "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.
 * 5) The diner fight scene was pretty epic.
 * 6) At the end of the episode, there's a great reference to mh:greatestmovies:Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where the knight from that film appears and asks Mordecai to choose the correct hat in a similar fashion to the Holy Grail.
 * 7) All the main characters were likable in this episode, as they helped Mordecai train to win the challenge.
 * 8) Hilarious ending: Rigby wakes up from his coma after Mordecai puts the Eggscellent Hat on him. He then notices an ad on television for another eating challenge, and Benson wonders if taking the hat off of Rigby will make him go back into a coma. The episode ends with everyone trying to take off Rigby's hat, much to his horror.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Benson was mean-spirited at the beginning of the episode, as he thought that work was more important than someone's life. But he got his comeuppance as he got punched by Mordecai.
 * 2) Mordecai throwing an omelet after he did not finish the challenge is also mean-spirited.

Reception
This episode holds a 9.6/10 on IMDb, and was acclaimed by fans and critics alike.
