Synopsis

Enraged at Mordecai and Rigby's constant slacking, Benson orders the "Peeps" surveillance system to force them into working. But when Mordecai and Rigby keep trying to circumvent the surveillance system, Benson keeps upgrading his subscription until he mistakenly summons Peeps, a giant eyeball, who spies on everyone and scares them. Now, Mordecai challenges Peeps to a staring contest; if Mordecai wins, Peeps must leave. If Peeps wins, he will harvest everyone's eyes.

Production notes

Cartoon Network ordered six episodes on August 13, 2009.

Each show is composed of two 11-minute episodes.

Developed as an animated short for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute.

Two groundskeepers, Mordecai (a six-foot-tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon), are best friends who spend their days trying to entertain themselves by any means necessary, much to the displeasure of Benson (their boss, who is a gumball machine) and to the delight of Pops (an older, lollipop-headed gentleman). Their everyday pursuits often lead to things spiraling out of control and into the surreal: they open portals to other dimensions, summon demons via an '80s arcade game and accidentally use choreographed dance moves to send co-workers to the moon. All in a typical day's work on Regular Show.
