Unaired Regular Show Episode

Since late 2010, I have been doing nothing but laughing my ass off every week to another new, hilarious episode of Regular Show. Every one of my friends were telling me about this show. I was very reluctant to watch anything on Cartoon Network ever since the cancellation of shows like the Eds, Courage, KND, and even the Friday Night block "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays". But this time was different. Apparently, everyone I knew watched this show, so I gave it a chance, and it was worth it. There was not a dull moment on Regular Show. (Even my father, who doesn't like cartoons anymore, found it funny) Up until now, I have seen every episode in seasons 1 and 2. My DVR was set to "series record" for new episodes.

It is now 2012. I have not watched Regular Show in over a year. You wanna know why? Here it goes...

Every morning before school, I wake up extra early to get in a couple episodes. Every Monday, a new episode airs, so my DVR automatically records it. However, there were TWO new episodes in my Regular Show file. The first one was called "Death Punchies", which is nothing more than another normal episode. The other one was simply called "Fired". Fired? At first I thought this may be an episode where Mordecai (blue jay) and Rigby (raccoon) finally get fired by Benson. Dear God... I was dead wrong.

I decided to just watch the episode anyway. It started up as it normally would with the opening credits and the traditional "distorted" music playing. Then, the episode title appeared on screen. It said "Unaired". Did I accidentally click the wrong episode by mistake? Nope.

The episode title remained frozen on screen. I thought my television monitor was malfunctioning, but the background behind the title started to fade. Maybe this was all a build up. The episode finally began. It opened up with a shot of the park. Everything looks very dark and stormy-like. There are several shots of people walking around looking extremely depressed. Some even crying. As the camera moves further into the Park, it finally arrives at the main characters' house. The camera remains focusing on the house. After about 30 seconds, a terrible cry began to ring out. It sounded like Pops crying (very high voice and dramatic). As the camera started moving towards an open window, Pop's crying became louder, and even more realistic, as if someone was being tortured. A very sad, disturbing violin tune started playing, like a funeral song. After what seemed like an eternity, the camera moves to a shot of Mordecai and Rigby's bedroom, except the room was destroyed, as if someone broke in and trashed the place. There was a thick, red liquid dripping off the wall. Blood. The depressing violin tune continued to loop.

At this point, I'm not even five minutes into the episode, and I started getting scared. It was 5:20 in the morning, the lights in my house are off, I'm alone in my living room and I'm too much of a scared pussy to get up and turn the lights on. The only source of light in my house right now is the glow of my television screen which lights up the whole room. I wanted to turn it off, but I couldn't look away. I kept watching.

The crying and violin finally stopped. The scene switched to the character Benson (manager of the park) screaming at Mordecai and Rigby for being lazy as usual. Only this time, he was even louder than usual, almost as if he was going to kill them. At this point, the images began to blur and go into a static picture. The audio got more distorted, as if the volume of Benson's voice was too much for the microphone to handle. The camera slowly moved away from Benson's red-hot angered face, and zoomed in on Rigby's.

Something was horribly wrong. Rigby donned a very evil, pissed off look on his face. A death stare if you will. The picture on TV became more unclear, as images of past episodes flashed by. The images were all from previous episodes of Benson flipping out on Rigby and Mordecai.

The scene switches to a shot of Pop's room. It's all a still frame. A very blur, still frame. In the corner of the room, Pops is curled up in a ball. Once again, his terrifying cries rang out, only louder than usual. The screen began to blur, as if fading out. The cries went on for about another minute until the shot changed.

In the next scene, Rigby is running upstairs into the attic in slow motion. The screen once again becomes distorted and choppy, like the creators were trying to censor something. As Rigby runs, Mordecai is heard screaming "NOOO!!! NOOO!!!" repeatedly.

Rigby is seen grabbing a large shotgun out of a chest, his eyes bloodshot. He runs downstairs with intentions of killing Benson. As he runs outside, the frames become heavily distorted and blurry once more. Then, there is silence for a moment. Finally, in a loud, startling, and unrecognizable voice, the phrase "YOU'RE FIRED!" is heard (probably Benson's voice). Shotgun blasts are heard, followed by a reloading sound effect. There is one more still frame. This time, Benson in a mangled, bloody mess. The blood however looks extremely life-like and unbelievably realistic.

The next shot, which becomes pixelated, shows Rigby turning the gun on himself. Once more, Mordecai begins to scream for him to stop. The camera switches to one last shot of Pops' room. This time, Mordecai's legs are hanging from the ceiling, and Pop's cries are even louder. This leads me to believe that Mordecai had committed suicide, and Pop's was overcome with sadness. The episode cuts to black, and the DVR recording comes to an end.

I was overwhelmed with fear, paranoia, and anxiety. I couldn't believe what I just watched. I immediately deleted all the Regular Show episodes from my DVR, and never spoke a word of it, until right now. At school, all the talk of Regular Show had stopped. Could it be that I wasn't the only one that witnessed this horrifying tragedy of an episode?

But now, the disturbing part is that I can't get that last image of Mordecai hanging from a noose out of my head. As for Pop's cries... my God... those cries will replay in my head until the day I die.
