Plot
Benson arrives and assigns Mordecai and Rigby the job of mowing the lawn. The two insist that it is too hard, but their intents to slack off fail. However, a new video game console from an anonymous person is sent to Mordecai and Rigby. Later, when they both decide to try out the game console, a portal from their TV appears and sucks them into the game.
Mordecai and Rigby travel through the game, defeating enemies they encountered in their past adventures. Eventually, they reach an 8-bit version of Exit 9B, created by Garett Bobby Ferguson and his son. After they defeat the two villains once again, the house explodes, returning Mordecai and Rigby, but a mad Benson arrives and demands they finish their job or are fired. The duo decide to play the game again instead.
