Synopsis
Mordecai and Rigby beat Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost in a cart race, and pick up some girls who have some flat tires. However, they soon destroy the car, so Benson punishes them by taking away their cart privileges and forcing them to ride kiddie bikes. Angered at the "uncoolness" of the bikes, Mordecai protests the decision due to them taking away their "cool appeal". He strikes a deal with Benson: if Benson admits that they're cool, then they can get their car privileges back. Mordecai and Rigby do whatever they can- wearing cool sunglasses, dressing up in stylish clothes, but Benson refuses to admit that they are cool. But trouble ensues when the cool police arrest Mordecai and Rigby for being too cool, and they are taken to a distant planet for trial. The first witness is called, Muscle Man, and he first decides to make fun of Mordecai and Rigby by saying that they were losers, but he admits that he looked cool during his arrest, putting Mordecai and Rigby at stake for a jail sentence. Benson is then called over, and witnesses Mordecai and Rigby swear an oath on Cool 45s, hurting their chances of freedom. During Benson's speech, he finally admits that Mordecai and Rigby are cool. The judge determines their sentence- death. Mordecai and Rigby must escape the distant planet and get back to Earth so they can regain their cart privileges.

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.
