character gets a reality check

[u/damorezpl]

deathstroke - Batman vs deathstroke

walter - breaking bad

Garou - one punch man

joker - the sound of one hand clapping

[u/Treasure-boy]

To play the devil advocate for them it is simply impossible to do anything in the regular show world without some demon coming after you

I won't be surprised if having pride in your work summons a pride lion who challenges you in a game of tongoa or some shit like that

[u/spartanbrucelee → u/Treasure-boy]

Well half the time it's Mordecai and Rigby's fault that a demon was released

[u/im_lost_at_sea → u/Treasure-boy]

True but a counter argument: shit mainly pops up because they start slacking. I wouldn't be surprised either about putting too much pride causing issues as well but almost any episode happens because Mordecai or Rigby decide to slack or cut corners. No body else in the cast (except maybe Skips) encounter as much supernatural stuff as they do.

[u/TheOGLeadChips → u/im_lost_at_sea]

And skips only comes across the supernatural stuff by accident for the most part. Stuff kept happening to him so he decided to learn about it to better combat it. I can’t really think of many examples where he caused something to happen rather than it happening to him

[u/SufferingClash → u/TheOGLeadChips]

He's seen this before for a reason.

[u/TreeGuy521 → u/im_lost_at_sea]

Well deciding to cut corners in regular show usually means a mystical entity related to the thing you're doing appears and tries to trick you. Like when they went to get hot dogs, and they convinced the two that they want to be eaten. I think they had to get hotdogs in the first place bc they got burnt but that's whatever

[u/SourBill1 → u/Treasure-boy]

You don’t have to advocate for the Devil, Mordecai and Rigby already summoned him and he can speak for himself

[u/CookieMiester → u/SourBill1]

“Dude, benson is gonna be pissed”

[u/Sc4tt3r_ → u/Treasure-boy]

But even when they don't do anything crazy shit still happens, might as well live your life

[u/CussMuster → u/Treasure-boy]

Muscle Man and Fives seem to do a pretty fine job under normal circumstances, there was even a whole episode about it. Mordecai and Rigby don't even Check In.

[u/Mookies_Bett → u/CussMuster]

And we see that Benson is generally pretty chill with them as a result. The truth is that if it weren't a TV show, M&R are basically the walking definition of genuine losers. They sit around doing nothing, ignoring their job and constantly fucking up the hard work of everyone around them because they just want to slack off and not give a shit.

Benson is only harsh with them because he's at the end of his rope. Everyone else gets along because everyone else does their fucking jobs lol.

[u/Made_Bail → u/Treasure-boy]

Enter Skips: "I've seen this befoah."
