Synopsis

Mordecai and Rigby have to pick up the donuts for the morning meeting, but they are told that the donuts they're buying are "not fit for human consumption" because they're too sugary. Pops eats the donuts and gets a sugar rush, causing him to behave jittery. This leads to Mordecai and Rigby to try and tire him out, nothing worked so they then went to Skips for advice as usual and he replies saying "It's like you ask me to fix a problem every week" he then says that Pops needs more sugar to burn out a sugar rush, Pops eats more donuts causing him to transfer to a faster plain, they then go after him then leaving Skips they eat Pop's lollipops which he considers money causing him much discomfort. They are then transfered to a faster plain where everything is black and white and you cannot see others features other than a rough sketch of the person's face, Rigby then thinks that they use the opposite of sugar, healthy and they split Benson's whole wheat donut and return to the previous plain in which they find Skips and Rigby says Skips was wrong for once, rubbing it in. Then they rush to their meeting forgetting the donuts, they then rush to the donut store and get more at supersonic speed and rush to the meeting, burning off their sugar rush and switching an empty box with donuts. Benson then brags how he got the donuts because he's a cool boss, Muscle Man and High Five are the only ones who eat the donuts because the rest off them never wanted to see sugar again. Muscle Man is then transported to the faster plain and Benson says "Where's my whole wheat donut?", which they forgot.

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.
